carefully the following recommendations of safety in order to avoid accidents to the users and damages of the welding process.
I / PRESENTATION
This product has been designed to carry out the following operations in car body workshop:
- Spot welding machine
- Welding of nails, rivets, rings and pins
- Suppression of bumps and impacts
- Sheet Retente using the carbon electrode
Caution: For an optimal operation, it is recommended to use shrinking and the delivered original complete gun.
II / SAFETY STANDARDS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
GYS can’t be responsible for the damages occurred to persons or things, which derive from the use of the machine in following circumstances:
- Modification or neutralization of safety elements

GENERALITIES
:
- Before disassembling the product’s body, plug out the lead cable.
- The operators must have the appropriate qualification.
- The operations of maintenance can only be controlled by qualified technicians.
- The operator is responsible for respect of the car manufacturers recommendations, concerning the protection of electrical and
electronic procedures ( car computer, car radio, alarm, air bag, etc…)
- The electrodes, arms, and the other secondary conductors can reach a very high temperature and remain hot very long after having
stopped the machine. Be careful: high risk of burns.
- It is necessary to make a regular preventive maintenance.
ELECTRICITY
:
- Check that the unit is connected to the earth coupler and that the connection to the earth is in good condition.
- Check that the work bench is connected to the earth coupler.
- Make sure that the operator has no contact with the metal parts to be welded without any protection or with wet clothes.
- Avoid to be in contact with the welding part.
- Do not make spot welding operations in very wet areas or on a wet floor.
- Do not weld with worn out cables. Check that there is no default with the isolation with stripped cables or with loose connections.
- Switch off the unit before replacing the electrodes..
- Before controlling or repairing, please disconnect the unit directly to the level of the plug.
PROTECTION OF HUMAN BODY :
- During the welding process, the process must be protected from the eventual flashes of the electrical arc with protection clothes like
leather gloves, welding aprons, safety shoes, welding helmets or glasses for filtering radiations and projections. In the same way
during operations of rubbing and hammering, the operator must protect his eyes.
- Do not keep rings, watches, or jewellery, which are current lead and can create burns.
- All the protection board must be in good condition and maintained in place.
- Protect the environment near the product against projections and reflections.
SMOKES AND GAZ :
- Welding operations can cause the emission of toxic smokes and harmful metallic dusts. Use the device in a sheltered place equipped
with smoke aspirators.
- The operator must wear an anti smoke mask.
- The welding material must be degreased and cleaned in order to limit the toxic gas during the welding process.
FIRE :
-
Check that the sparks do not cause fire especially near inflammable material.
- Check that fire extinguishers are not too far from the operator.
- Leave the product in a place with air movers.
- Do not weld neither on containers of combustibles and lubricants, even empty, nor on containers with inflammable material..
- Do not weld in an atmosphere full of inflammable gas or fuel steams.
ELECTRO-MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY :
Near the spot welding, check :
-
there is neither no other power supply cable nor control lines, nor phone cables, nor radio or TV reception appliances, nor watches,
nor mobile phones, nor magnetic cards, nor computers or any other electronic appliance.
-
there is in the surroundings (minimum 3 meters of each size of the product) no persons using active medical appliances (pacemakers,
acoustic prosthetics).
Make supplementary protections if other products are used in the same environment
III / CONNECTION TO THE ELECTRICAL NETWORK
Single phase 230V 50Hz. Use of the PHASE 1, NEUTRAL and EARTH CONNECTION. Earth connection is mandatory for human body protection.
Electrical network protection:
Breaker 16 Amps D curve or fuses 16 Amps a M type.
If the product releases the circuit breaker of the protection of installation, please check that you have the right fuse and the adequate type of
circuit breaker.
