SECTION 4 : OTHER RISK WARNINGS
OVERTURNING:
Position the welding machine on a horizontal surface that is able to support
the weight to avoid the danger of overturning (e.g. inclined or uneven floors
etc).
IMPROPER USE:
It is hazardous to use the welding machine for any work other than that for
which it was designed. Do not use the handle to hang up the welding
machine.
MOVING THE WELDING
MACHINE:
Always secure the gas bottle, taking suitable precautions to prevent it falling
accidentally.
•
The safety guards and moving parts of the covering of the welding machine and of the wire feeder
should be in their proper positions before connecting the welding machine to the power supply.
WARNING! Any manual operation carried out on the moving parts of the wire feeder should be carried out
with the welding machine switched off and disconnected from the power supply outlet. These operations
may include:
•
Replacing rollers and/or the wire guide;
•
Inserting wire in the rollers;
•
Loading the wire reel;
•
Cleaning the rollers, the gears and the area underneath them;
•
Lubricating the gears.
NEVER LIFT THE WELDING MACHINE - None of the welding machines described in this manual are equipped
with a lifting device.
SECTION 5 : INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This welding machine is a power source used for arc welding and has been designed specifically for MIG/MAG
welding of carbon steel and low-alloyed steel with either CO2 or an Argon/CO2 mixture shielding gas using solid or
cored (tubular) electrode wires.
The machine is also suitable for MIG welding of stainless steel using argon gas with 1-2% oxygen, and of aluminium
with argon gas, using electrode wires with a composition suited to the piece to be welded.
It is also possible to use cored wires in applications without protective gas by adapting the polarity of the torch to the
wire manufacturer’s recommendations.
Torch
Return cable and earth clamp
STANDARD ACCESSORIES:
Wheels kit (in models on wheels)
