People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor before using this device.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects which are not yet known.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WIRE FEEDER
The wire feeder is equipped with handles for easy transportation. Be careful not to underestimate the machine’s weight. The handle cannot be used
to hang the machine from other equipment. Never lift the machine while there is a gas cylinder on the support shelf. A clear path is available when
moving the item.
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.
The machine is fitted with non-insulated lifting eye bolts, they are designed for wire feeder maintenance and not for wire feeder lifting during welding
operations. If they are used during welding, the eye bolts must be insulated from the building’s earth.
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 in order to insulate them
- Do not place any electrical equipment such as drills 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 !
INSTALLATION
ules to follow :
• The wire feeder must be switched on with all access panels closed.
• Put the wire feeder on a floor with a maximum incline of 10°.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The equipment’s protection level is IP23S, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against the rain inclined at 60% towards the vertical.

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 wire feeder is disconnected from the welding machine, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance
work.
• 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 connection cable between the wire feeder and the machine. If damaged, the connection cable cable must be replaced.
• Warning ! If the welding machine is transported/handled by another solution than the one recommended by the manufacturer; the wire feeder
casing must be insulated from the transporting/handling solution.
Rules to follow :
• The wire feeder must be switched on with all access panels closed.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During set up,
the operator must ensure that the machine is unplugged.
Risk of injury due to moving parts!
