INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR WIRE WELDING MACHINE
IMPORTANT
READ THIS MANUAL AND THE SAFETY RULES MANUAL
CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING, USING, OR SERVICING
THE WELDING MACHINE, PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO
SAFETY RULES. CONTACT YOUR DISTRIBUTOR IF YOU
DO NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This machine must be used for welding only. It must not be
used to defrost pipes.
It is also essential to pay special attention to the “SAFETY RULES”
Manual. The symbols next to certain paragraphs indicate points
requiring extra attention, practical advice or simple information.
This MANUAL and the “SAFETY RULES” MANUAL must be
stored carefully in a pica familiar to everyone involved in using the
machine. They must be consulted whenever doubts arise and be kept
for the entire lifespan of the machine; they will also be used for
ordering replacement parts.
1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 SPECIFICATIONS
This manual has been prepared for the purpose of educating personnel
assigned to install, operate and service the welding machine.
This equipment is a constant-voltage power source, suitable for
MIG/MAG welding.
Upon receiving the machine, make sure there are no broken or
damaged parts.
The purchaser should address any complaints for losses or damage to
the vector. Please indicate the article and serial number whenever
requesting information about the welding machine.
1.2 EXPLANATION OF TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

Protection rating for the housing.
Grade 1 as the second digit means that this equipment
is suitable for use outdoors in the rain.
Suitable for use in high-risk environments.
NOTES: The welding machine has also been designed for use in
environments with a pollution rating of 3. (See IEC 664).
1.3 OVERLOAD CUT-OUT
This machine is protected by a thermostat, which prevents the
machine from operating if the allowable temperatures are exceeded. In
these conditions the fan continues to operate and the lamp F lights.
2 INSTALLATION
• Only skilled personnel should install the machine.
• All connections must be carried out according to current
regulations, and in full observance of safety laws.
Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the value indicated
on the power cable. If it is not already fitted, connect a plug suited to
the power cable, making sure that the yellow/green conductor is
connected to the earth pin.
The capacity of the overload cut-out switch or fuses installed in series
with the power supply must be equivalent to the absorbed current I1
max. of the machine.
2.1 PLACEMENT (pict. 1)
Mount the handle and the rear and front wheels. The handle must not
be used for lifting the welding machine.
Place the welding machine in a ventilated area.
Dust, dirt, and any other foreign matter entering the welding machine
can interfere with ventilation and thus with smooth operation.
Therefore, in relation to the environment and working conditions, it is
important to keep the internal parts clean. Clean using a jet of dry,
clean air, being careful to avoid damaging the machine in any way.
Before working inside the welding machine, make sure it is unplugged
from the power mains.
Any intervention carried out inside the welding machine must be
performed by qualified personnel.
