MAINTENANCE
•
Refer all servicing to qualified personnel.
•
Disconnect the generator and wait until the ventilator stopped before working on the unit. Inside the
device, voltages and current are dangerous.
•
Regularly remove the steel cover and blow off the dust with compressed air. Let check the electrical
connections (with an insulated tool) and the insulations by qualified personnel.
•
Regularly control the state of the cord. If this supply cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the
manufacturer, its after sales service or a similarly qualified technician to avoid any danger.
ADVICE
•
Respect welding polarities and currents indicated on the electrode packaging
•
Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when you do not use it.
•
Leave the inlets free to allow in/out air circulation.
SECURITY
The arc welding can be dangerous and leads serious injury, may fatal. Protect yourself and
protect the others.
Respect the following warnings:
Arc rays :
Protect yourself thanks to a welding helmet in compliance with EN175 equiped with
filters in compliance with EN 169 or EN 379. Inform and protect by the same means
any people in the welding environment.
Rain, steam,
The working environment must be clean (degree of pollution ≤ 3) and protected
humidity :
against rain. Put the appliance on an even place and at least at one meter from the
parts to be welded. Do not use them under rain or snow.
Electric shocks :
The IMS 1305, 1400, 1700, 1905 must not be used on a single phase power outlet
with 3-wire grounded neutral. The IMS 2510 tri can be used only on a three-phase
power supply with a grounded neutral. Do not touch live parts. Check that the
supply system is suitable for the post.
Moving :
Do not underestimate the weight of the apparatus. Do not carry it over people or
things. Do not drop it. Do not set it brutally
Burns :
Wear protective or fire-proof clothing (overalls, jeans).
Use some welder gloves and a fire-proof apron.
Protect the others by installing non flammable protection wall , or prevent the
others to not look at the arc and to keep a sufficient distance
Fire risks :
Suppress all flammable products from the working area. Do not works near
flammable gas.
Smokes :
Do not inhale gas or welding smokes. If indoors ventilate the area well and/or use
local extraction ventilation equipment to remove fumes and gases.
Extraprecautions :
Any welding operation :
- in environments with increased risk of electric shock,
- in confined spaces,
- in the presence of flammable or explosive materials
must be evaluated in advance by an “Expert supervisor” and must always be carried
out in the presence of other people trained to intervene in case of emergency.
Technical protection measures MUST BE taken as described in the TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATION "IEC 62081".
Welding in raised positions is forbidden unless safety platforms are used.
The persons carrying pacemaker have to consult a doctor before using these machines
Do not use the unit to thaw tubing.
In TIG welding, manipulate the gas bottle carefully. Indeed, there are risks if the bottle or the
bottle valve are damaged.
