Safety
WARNING!
Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and damage.
Do not use the functions described here until you have fully read and understood the fol-
lowing documents:
▶
These Operating Instructions
▶
All the Operating Instructions for the system components, especially the safety rules
WARNING!
An electric shock can be fatal.
If the device is plugged into the mains during installation, there is a high risk of very seri-
ous injury and damage. Only carry out work on the device when:
▶
The mains switch is in the "O" position
▶
The device is unplugged from the mains
Preparations
1.
Plug the welding power-lead into the current socket, depending upon which type of
electrode is to be used, and latch it by turning it clockwise
2.
Plug the grounding cable into the current socket, depending on which type of elec-
trode is to be used, and latch it by turning it clockwise
3.
Plug in the mains plug
Selecting the pro-
cess
CAUTION!
Risk of injury and damage from electric shock.
As soon as the mains switch is in the "I" position, the rod electrode in the electrode
holder is LIVE. Make sure that the rod electrode does not touch any persons or electric-
ally conductive or earthed parts (e.g. housing, etc.)
1.
Move the mains switch to the "I" position
2.
Select one of the following processes using the Process button:
When welding with rutile electrodes, manual metal arc welding with HotStart
is recommended.
When welding with basic electrodes, manual metal arc welding with Soft-
Start is recommended.
When welding with cellulose electrodes, the manual metal arc welding pro-
cess with a Cel electrode must always be selected.
