e. Earthing of the welded part :
When the part is not earthed - due to electrical safety reasons or because of its size
and its location (which is the case with ship hulls or metallic building structures), the earthing of the part can, in some
cases but not systematically, reduce emissions It is preferable to avoid the earthing of parts that could increase the risk
of injury to the users or damage other electrical equipment. If necessary, it is appropriate that the earthing of the part
is done directly, but in some countries that do not allow such a direct connection, it is appropriate that the connection
is made with a capacitor selected according to national regulations.
f. Protection and plating :
The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can reduce
perturbation issues. The protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specific situations.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WELDING MACHINE
The machine is fitted with handle(s) to facilitate transportation. Be careful not to underestimate the
machine’s weight. The handle(s) cannot be used for slinging.
Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. The welding equipment must be moved in an upright position.
Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.
The removal of the wire reel from the machine is recommended before undertaking any lifting operation.
Stray welding currents/voltages may destroy earth conductors, damage electrical equipment or cause
components to warm up which may cause a fire.
• All welding connections must be firmly secured, check regularly !
• Check that the metal piece fixation is strong and without any electrical problems !
• Attach or hang all the electrically conductive elements, such as the trolley and slinging equipment, in order to
insulate them
• Do not place any electrical equipment, such as drills or grinders, on top of the welding machine without insulating
them !
• Always place welding torches or electrodes holders on an insulated surface when they’re not in use !
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• The torch must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
• Switch off the generator before each maintenance and before replacing or control wearing parts.
• Regularly check the condition of the torch. If damaged, the torch must be replaced.
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°).
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP21, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against vertically falling drops.
The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
The manufacturer does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and persons
that result from an incorrect and/or dangerous use of the machine .
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out
maintenance work. DANGER High Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the
electrical connections checked by a qualified person, with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales service or an equally qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
