INSTALLATION
2.1 Delivery Control

contact your place of purchase immediately.

In case of a damaged delivery, record a report, take a picture of the damage and report to the transport

2.2 Installation and Operation Recommendations
• Lifting rings or forklifts should be used to move the machine. Do not lift the machine with the gas cylinder.
Place the power supply on a hard, level, smooth surface where it will not fall or tip over.
• For a better performance, place the machine at least 30 cm away from the surrounding objects. Pay attention
to overheating, dust and moisture near the machine. Do not operate the machine under direct sunlight. If the
ambient temperature exceeds 40°C, operate the machine at a lower current or a lower operating cycle.
• Avoid welding outdoors in windy and rainy weather circumstances. If welding is necessary in such cases,
protect the welding area and the welding machine with a curtain and canopy.
• When positioning the machine, make sure that materials such as walls, curtains, boards do not prevent easy
access to the machine’s controls and connections.
• If you weld indoors, use a suitable fume extraction system. Use breathing apparatus if there is a risk of
inhaling welding fumes and gas in confined spaces.
• Observe the operating cycle rates specified on the product label. Suspending operating cycle rates can
damage the machine and this may invalidate the warranty.
• The supply cable must comply with the specified fuse value.
• Tighten the ground wire as close as possible to the workpiece. Do not allow the welding current to pass
through equipment other than the welding cables such as the machine itself, gas cylinder, chain and roller
bearing.
• When the gas cylinder is placed on the machine, secure the gas cylinder by connecting the chain immediately.
If you will not place the gas cylinder on the machine, secure the gas cylinder to the wall with a chain.
• The electrical outlet on the back of the machine is for the C0 2 heater. Never connect a device to the C0 2 outlet
other than the C0 2 heater !
Symbols and their meanings on the device
Welding may be dangerous. Proper working conditions should be ensured and necessary precautions
should be taken. Specialists are responsible for the machine and have to be equipped with the necessary
equipment and those who are not relevant should be kept away from the welding area.
This device is not compatible with IEC 61000-3-12. If it is desired to connect to the low voltage mains used
in homes, it is essential that the installer or the person who will operate the machine to make the electrical
connection has information on the machine’s connectivity. In this case the responsibility will be assumed
by the person who will perform the installation or by the operator.
The safety symbols and warning notes on the device and in the operating instructions must be observed
and the labels must not be removed.
Grids are intended for ventilation. The openings should not be covered in order to provide good cooling and
no foreign objects should be inserted.
