INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR WIRE WELDING MACHINE
IMPORTANT
: BEFORE STARTING THE EQUIPMENT,
READ THE CONTENTS OF THIS MANUAL, WHICH
MUST BE STORED IN A PLACE FAMILIAR TO ALL US-
ERS FOR THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE
MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WELD-
ING OPERATIONS.
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE HARM-
FUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The user
must therefore be educated against the hazards, summa-
rized below, deriving from welding operations. For more de-
tailed information, order the manual code 3.300.758
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - May be dangerous.
· Electric current following through any con-
ductor causes localized Electric and Magnet-
ic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current cre-
ates EMF fields around cables and power
sources.
· The magnetic fields created by high currents may affect
the operation of pacemakers. Wearers of vital electronic
equipment (pacemakers) shall consult their physician be-
fore beginning any arc welding, cutting, gouging or spot
welding operations.
· Exposure to EMF fields in welding/cutting may have other
health effects which are now not known.
· All operators should use the followingprocedures in order
to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding/cut
-
ting circuit:
- Route the electrode and work cables together
- Secure them with tape when possible.
- Never coil the electrode/torch lead around your body.
- Do not place your body between the electrode/torch
lead and work cables. If the electrode/torch lead
cable is on your right side, the work cable should also
be on your right side.
- Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as
possible to the area being welded/cut.
- Do not work next to welding/cutting power source.
EXPLOSIONS
· Do not weld in the vicinity of containers under
pressure, or in the presence of explosive dust, gas-
es or fumes. · All cylinders and pressure regulators
used in welding operations should be handled with care.
ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY.
This machine is manufactured in compliance with the in-
structions contained in the standard IEC 60974-10 (CL. A),
and must be used solely for professional purposes in an
industrial environment. There may be potential difficulties
in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-industrial
environments
. HIGH FREQUENCY
• High frequency (H.F.) can interfere with ra-
dio navigation, safety services, computers,
and communications equipment.
• Have only qualified persons familiar with
electronic equipment perform this installa-
tion.
• The user is responsible for having a qualified electrician
promptly correct any interference problem resulting from
the installation.
• If notified by the FCC about interference, stop using the
equipment at once.
• Have the installation regularly checked and maintained.
• Keep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly
shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use ground-
ing and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment togeth-
er with normal waste!In observance of European
Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment and its implementation in accordance with na-
tional law, electrical equipment that has reached the end
of its life must be collected separately and returned to an
environmentally compatible recycling facility. As the owner
of the equipment, you should get information on approved
collection systems from our local representative. By apply-
ing this European Directive you will improve the environ-
ment and human health!
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST ASSISTANCE
FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
1.1 WARNING LABEL
The following numbered text corresponds to the label
numbered boxes.
B. Drive rolls can injure fingers.
C. Welding wire and drive parts are at welding voltage dur-
ing operation — keep hands and metal objects away.
1 Electric shock from welding electrode or wiring can kill.
1.1 Wear dry insulating gloves. Do not touch electrode
with bare hand. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves.
1.2 Protect yourself from electric shock by insulating
yourself from work and ground.
1.3 Disconnect input plug or power before working on
machine.
2 Breathing welding fumes can be hazardous to your
health.
2.1 Keep your head out of fumes.
2.2 Use forced ventilation or local exhaust to remove fumes.
2.3 Use ventilating fan to remove fumes.
3 Welding sparks can cause explosion or fire.
3.1 Keep flammable materials away from welding.
3.2 Welding sparks can cause fires. Have a fire extin
-
guisher nearby and have a watchperson ready to use
it.
3.3 Do not weld on drums or any closed containers.
4 Arc rays can burn eyes and injure skin.
4.1 Wear hat and safety glasses. Use ear protection and
button shirt collar. Use welding helmet with correct
