•
The device must be applied according to its purpose, with observance of OHS regulations and
restrictions resulting from data included in the rating plate (IP level, operation cycle, supply voltage,
etc.).
•
The machine must not be opened as it will cause warranty loss and, in addition, exploding, not shielded
elements can cause serious injuries.
•
The producer does not bear any responsibility for technical changes in the device or material losses
caused by the introduction of the said changes.
•
In case of incorrect device operation, contact the service centre.
•
Louvers must not be shielded - the welder must be positioned at 30 m distance from objects
surrounding it.
•
The welder must not be kept under your arm or near to your body.
•
The machine must not be installed in rooms with aggressive environments, high dustiness and near
devices with high electromagnetic field emission.
3.2 Device storage
•
The machine must be protected against water and moisture.
•
The welder must not be positioned on heated surfaces.
•
The device must be stored in a dry and clean room.
3.3 Connecting the device
3.3.1 Connecting the power
•
Connection of the device must be performed by a qualified person. In addition, a person with required
qualifications should check if the earthing or electrical installation with protection system is in line with
the safety regulations and if they operate correctly.
•
The device must be placed near the work station.
•
Connection of excessively long conduits to the machine must be avoided.
•
One-phase welders should be connected to the socket fitted with an earthing prong.
•
Welders powered from a 3-Phase network are delivered without a plug, the plug must be obtained
independently and installation should be assigned to a qualified person.
PLEASE NOTE! THE DEVICE MAY ONLY BE USED UPON CONNECTION TO AN INSTALLMENT WITH
A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING FUSE
3.3.2 Connecting gas
•
Gas tanks must be placed far from the welded object and be protected against collapsing.
•
Gas connector of the welder must be connected with the tank or gas installation by means of the
correct pipe and regulator with gas flow regulation. Please note! Connection of line regulators to the
tank and the other way round is prohibited. Such a change can result in regulator damage and serious
injuries.
•
Economical gas use extends the welding time.
3.3.3 Connection of welding conduits
•
Power pin of the welding handle must be connected to the device.
•
Gas conduit and, alternatively, the conduits of the cooling circuit from a TIG welding torch must be
connected to proper connectors.
•
The chassis ground conduit must be connected to the device and a chassis ground clamp must be
mounted on the welded object.
•
Controlling conduit must be connected to the proper device socket.
•
Welding conduits must be put in a straight, parallel position close to each other.
