SETTING THE WELDING UNIT INTO OPERATION
ATTENTION!
Read
Section 16, "Safety instructions",
before setting the
welding unit into operation.
2.1 PROPER USE
The welding unit is designed for manual covered-electrode arc welding
(GMAW)
, argon arc welding
(GTAW)
, gas-shielded arc welding
(GMAW)
or
flux-cored arc welding (
FCAW
or
FCA
) for a semi-
automatic or automatic arc welding process.
Any other use of the welding unit is considered as improper. The manufacturer of the welding unit is not
responsible for damages caused by any improper use of the unit. The use of the welding unit is proper if
all the requirements of this Operation Manual are satisfied.
ATTENTION!
Do not use the welding unit to unfreeze pipes.
2.2 REQUIREMENTS FOR INSTALLATION
The welding unit is protected against ingress of foreign particles more than 12.5 mm in size.
The welding unit is allowed for outdoor operation. The internal electrical and electronic elements of the
welding unit are protected against moisture but are not protected against atmospheric condensate drops.
ATTENTION!
After completing welding works in hot weather, or completing
intensive welding works in any weather, switch off the welding unit only after at
least 5 minutes of time required for the electronic elements of the unit to be
cooled.
ATTENTION!
When operating the welding unit in cold season, after the unit
was switched off and cooled, condensate can be formed inside of the unit, so
switch on the welding unit only 3 … 4 hours after the switching off!!!
