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 USERS FOR
THE ENTIRE OPERATIVE LIFE-SPAN OF THE MACHINE.
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE USED SOLELY FOR WEL-
DING OPERATIONS.
1 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WELDING AND ARC CUTTING CAN BE
HARMFUL TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. The
user must therefore be educated against the hazards,
summarized below, deriving from welding operations.
For more detailed 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 Ma-
gnetic Fields (EMF). Welding/cutting current
creates EMF fields around cables and po
-
wer 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 or-
der to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding/
cutting 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,
gases or fumes. · All cylinders and pressure regu-
lators 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 diffi
-
culties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in non-
industrial environments.
H.F FREQUENCY
• High frequency (H.F.) can interfere with radio
navigation, safety services, computers, and com-
munications equipment
• Have only qualified persons familiar with electronic
equipment perform this installation.
• 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 tight-
ly shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use
grounding and shielding to minimize the possibility of
interference.
DISPOSAL OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT.
Do not dispose of electrical equipment together
with normal waste!In observance of European
Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic
Equipment and its implementation in accordance with
national 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 representati-
ve. By applying this European Directive you will improve
the environment 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 du-
ring 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 extingui
-
sher 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
shade of filter. Wear complete body protection.
5 Become trained and read the instructions before
working on the machine or welding.
6 Do not remove or paint over (cover) label.
