Device Storage; Connecting The Device; Connecting The Power - STAMOS S-WIGMA 180 Manuel D'utilisation

• The cable mustn't be wrapped around the body.
• A welded object must be properly grounded.
• Only equipment in good condition can be used.
• Damaged device elements must be repaired or
replaced. Safety belts must be used when working
at height.
• All fitting and safety elements must be stored in one
place.
• From the moment of turning on the release, the
handle end must be kept away from the body.
• The chassis ground must be mounted to the welded
element or as close to it as possible (e.g. to a work
table).
THE DEVICE CAN STILL BE UNDER VOLTAGE UPON
FEEDER DISCONNECTION.
• The voltage in the input capacitor must be checked
upon turning off the device and disconnecting it
from the power source. One must make sure that the
voltage value is equal to zero. Otherwise, the device
elements must not be touched.
1.5. GASES AND FUMES
PLEASE NOTE! GAS MAY BE LETHAL OR DANGEROUS
TO HUMAN HEALTH!
• Always stay clear of the gas exhaust.
• Ensure proper ventilation of the work space and
avoid gas inhalation.
• Chemical substances (lubricants, solvents) must be
removed from the surfaces of welded details as they
burn and emit toxic smokes under the influence of
temperature.
• Welding galvanised details is permitted only when
efficient ventilation is provided with filtration and
access to fresh air. Zinc fumes are highly toxic, an
intoxication symptom is so-called metal fever.

3. OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL NOTES
• 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, unshielded
elements can cause serious injuries.
• The manufacturer 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 a 30 cm distance from the objects
surrounding it.
• The welder must not be kept under your arm or near
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

• Connecting the device must be performed by
a qualified person. In addition, a person with the
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.
• Connecting 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.

Control panel description
1. Welding current display
2. Welding current adjustment knob
3. VRD indicator
Safety function – only for MMA welding: This
function allows to reduce the idling voltage to
a user-safe value when the device is ready for
welding. After commencing welding, the idling
voltage automatically grows to the nominal value,
and after finishing welding it drops back to the safe
value again.
4. VRD gauge ON/OFF switch
5. MMA method indicator
6. Lift TIG method indicator
7. Welding method selection button
8. ERROR INDICATOR = The indicator lights in the
following two situations:
a. If the machine has malfunctioned and cannot be
operated.
b. If the cutting device has exceeded the standard
working time the protection mode is initiated and
the machine will stop functioning. This means that
the machine is now being cooled in order to be able
to restore temperature control again after the device
has overheated. Therefore, the machine is stopped.
During this process, the red warning light on the
front panel lights up. In this case it is not necessary
to remove the power plug from the socket. The
ventilation system may be left on in order to enhance
the cooling of the machine. When the red light goes
dark, this means that the temperature is now down
to the normal level and the unit can be put back into
operation.
4.1. CONNECTING LEADS
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING LEADS:
MMA WELDING MODE:
5
1. Use the selection button to select MMA welding
mode.
2. Connect the return lead to the socket marked with
„+", and tighten the locking nut.
3. Then connect the welding lead to the correct socket,
marked with the „–" sign and tighten the locking
nut. WARNING! The polarization of the leads may
be different! All polarisation information should be
shown on the packaging supplied by the electrode
manufacturer!
