INSTRUCTION MANUAL
WARNING! BEFORE USING THE ENGINE-DRIVEN WELDING
MACHINE READ THE INSTRUCTION HANDBOOK FOR BOTH
THE WELDING MACHINE AND THE ENGINE CAREFULLY.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DAMAGE
PLANTS, EQUIPMENT OR THE ENGINE-DRIVEN WELDING
MACHINE ITSELF.
ENGINE-DRIVEN WELDING MACHINES FOR MMA WELDING
DESIGNED FOR INDUSTRIAL AND PROFESSIONAL USE.
The term “engine-driven welding machine” will be used in the
following text.
1. GENERAL SAFETY RULES
- Always check the engine before using it (see the production
manual of the internal combustion engine).
- Do not place flammable objects near the engine and keep the
engine-driven welding machine at least 1 metre from buildings
and other equipment.
- Do not use the engine-driven welding machine in environments
where the danger of explosion and/or fire exists, in closed
areas, or in the presence of flammable and/or explosive gases,
powders, acids and elements.
- Fuel the engine in a well ventilated area and with the engine
switched off. Petrol is highly flammable and can explode.
- Do not fill the petrol tank too much. Fuel must not remain in
the tank neck. Make sure the cap is well closed.
- If fuel is spilled outside the tank, clean the spill well and allow
the vapours to disperse before switching on the engine.
- Do not smoke in, and do not bring naked flames into, the area
where the engine is generally filled with fuel, or where the
petrol is stored.
- Do not touch the engine when it is hot. To avoid serious burns
or fire, allow the engine to cool before moving or storing the
engine-driven welding machine.
- The exhaust gases contain carbon dioxide, which is an
odourless, clear and very toxic gas that MUST NOT be inhaled.
Do not use the engine-driven welding machine in closed
areas.
- Do not lean the engine-driven welding machine more than 10°
from its vertical position to prevent fuel being spilled from the
tank.
- When it is on, the engine-driven welding machine heats up
and can cause burns and injuries, so keep children and
animals distant from it.
- Learn how to switch off the engine quickly and use all the
controls. Never entrust the engine-driven welding machine to
people who are not suitably prepared.
REGULATIONS FOR ELECTRIC SAFETY
- CONNECT THE MACHINE TO AN EARTH PEG
- Electricity is potentially dangerous and, unless used
correctly, produces electric shocks or electrocution. This can
cause serious injury or death, and fires and faults in electric
equipment. Keep children, unauthorised people and animals
at a distance from the engine-driven welding machine.
- Connecting the machine and supplying electricity to the
power line of a building is strictly forbidden and dangerous.
- Do not use the machine in damp or wet conditions or in the
rain.
- Do not use cables with worn insulation and keep them distant
from the hot parts of the machine.
GENERAL SAFETY RULES FOR ARC WELDING
The operator must receive full instructions regarding safe use
of the welding machine and must be informed of the risks on arc
welding procedures, related safety measures and emergency
procedures.
(Refer to Directive “EN 60974-9: Apparatus for arc welding. Part
9: Installation and use”).
- Do not come into direct contact with the welding circuit; the
open circuit voltage supplied by the engine-driven welding
machine can be dangerous in certain conditions.
- The welding cables must be connected and the verification
operations and repairs must be carried out with the engine-
driven welding machine switched off.
- Switch off the engine-driven welding machine before replacing
the worn parts of the torch.
- Do not use the engine-driven welding machine in damp or wet
conditions or in the rain.
- Do not use cables with deteriorated insulation or with loose
connections.
- Do not weld containers, receptacles or piping that contain or
have contained flammable liquids or gases.
- Do not work on materials that have been cleaned with
chlorinated solvents, or near these substances.
- Do not weld pressurised containers.
- Remove all flammable substances (e.g. wood, paper, rags etc.)
from the working area.
- Make sure there is a suitable air exchange or means suitable
for removing the welding smoke near the arc; a systematic
approach for evaluating the welding smoke exposure limits
according to composition, concentration and exposure
duration is necessary.
- Keep the bottle (if used) distant from heat sources, including
the sun’s rays.
- Make sure there is adequate electrical insulation with respect
to the electrode, the workpiece and any (accessible) earthed
metal parts in the vicinity.
This can usually be achieved by wearing special gloves,
shoes, head coverings and clothing made for this purpose
and by using insulating platforms or mats.
- Always protect eyes with suitable adiactinic glass fitted onto
masks or helmets.
Use the relative protective fire-retardant clothing, and do not
expose the skin to the ultraviolet and infrared rays produced
by the arc. People who are working near the arc must also be
protected using non-reflective screens or curtains.
- Noise level: If particularly intensive welding operations lead
to a daily personal noise exposure (LEP,d) of 85dB(A) or
more, the use of suitable personal protection equipment is
obligatory.
- The passage of the welding current creates electromagnetic
fields (EMF) around the welding circuit.
The electromagnetic fields can interfere with some medical
devices (e.g. Pacemaker, breathing systems, metal prostheses,
etc.).
Suitable protective measures for those who use these devices
must be taken. As an example, prohibit access to the engine-
driven welding machine use area.
This engine-driven welding machine satisfies the product
technical standards for exclusive use in industrial environments
for professional purposes. Compliance with the basic limits
regarding human exposure to electromagnetic fields cannot be
guaranteed in a domestic environment.
The following procedures must be followed in order to reduce
exposure to electromagnetic fields:
