EASY-MAG-Series | Version 2.01 15
Operation
8.5 Connection of the welding torch
The welding machines are equipped with a quick con-
nection device for the welding torch equipped. Connect
the central plug of the burner with the marked one Junc-
tion box of the welding machine and screw it with the
connection nut.
8.6 Connection of the workpiece
In order to obtain the closed circuit necessary for wel-
ding, the welding device must be connected to the work-
piece via a ground terminal. The workpiece terminal of
the ground connection cable should be clamped in the
immediate vicinity of the weld in order to achieve the hig-
hest possible efficiency, while ensuring a metallically
bright transition at the contact point. The EASY-MAG
171/193/213 is equipped with a quick-connect connector
that connects the ground cable to the machine.
9 Operation
DANGER! ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE
Make sure that the welding current can not flow
through chains of hoists, crane ropes or other electri-
cally conductive parts!
Make sure that the ground cable is connected to the
workpiece as close as possible to the welding loca-
tion. Ground connections attached to remote points
reduce efficiency and increase the risk of electrical
shock and "vagabond" currents.
Wear welder face shield or helmet with wel-
der face shield
Wear protective gloves with pulse protection
Wear safety shoes
Wear protective clothing
Wear protective apron
DANGER! ELECTRICAL VOLTAGE
Do not use the device outdoors in the rain!
RISK OF EXPLOSION!
- Avoid accidental contacts of the bottle with the
electrode or other live parts.
- Welding operations shall not be carried out on ves-
sels storing gases, fuel, oils, dyes or the like, even if
they have been emptied for a long time. There is a
danger of explosion due to residues.
- Do not weld near pressurized containers.
- Do not weld in environments where dust, gas or ex-
plosive vapors are present.
- Do not use damaged or leaking gas cylinders.
- Use a working pressure reducer to connect to the
gas line
- Never refill bottles yourself, but from a specialist
- Replace damaged gas lines
- Do not expose the bottles to excessive heat
- Never mix the gas in the bottles
FIRE HAZARD!
- Avoid spreading open fire, which can be triggered
by sparks, slag and glowing material.
- Fire protection devices must be near the workplace.
- Remove flammable materials and fuels from the
work area. Fire barriers must be near the work area.
- Do not carry any fuel such as lighters or matches.
- Always make sure that the torch is correctly
connected and firmly installed. Otherwise there is a
risk of fire and cable fire.
ATTENTION!
Welded joints which are subject to special stresses
and which have to meet high safety requirements
may only be designed by specially trained and certi-
fied welders.
NOTE!
The welding machine may only be operated by per-
sons who have been instructed in the use of welding
equipment and are familiar with safety regulations.
When welding, always wear protective clothing and
take care that other persons are not endangered by
the UV radiation of the arc.
