General Safety Instructions - Güde MIG 155/6W Mode D'emploi

Before putting the machine into operation please read this
A.V. 1
Surplus print even in shortened version requires permission.
Technical changes reserved.
The machine
Welding machines for manual welding in the protective gas with automatic wire feeding allow joining the metallic parts
by fusing the edges being joined as well as the additive material. The fusion is generated by an electric arc that comes
up between the welded material and the metallic wire that continuously protrudes from the end of the burner and
serves as an additional material for joining the parts. Higher welding current allows welding of thicker sheet metal. We
do not warrant for damages caused by neglecting of these instructions.
Welding machine in the protective gas MIG 155/6W
Compact higher-class welding machine for handymen. Based on 6 shifting levels it is suitable for problematic welding
too. With continuously adjustable wire feeding and plentiful accessories.
Equipment:
Welding shield and reducer valve with single pressure indicator. Including 2 rolling casters at the rear, protection
against thermal overload and the hose set of the 2 m length.

General safety instructions

It is necessary to read the whole guide for operation before the first use of the machine. In case of any doubts
associated to the connection and operation of the machine contact the producer (service department).
TO MAINTAIN THE HIGH LEVEL OF SAFETY PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS:
ATTENTION!
Turned-on period
The machine capacities are represented by the data "Einschaltdauer/Turned-on Period" (ED%) at the machine type
plate, i.e. the ration between the welding time and the cooling time. This factor changes for the same machine in
accordance to the load conditions, i.e. according to issued welding current. It determines how long the machine can
operate at the listed welding current under load and it is always related to the time period of 10 minutes. For example at
welding current for ED 60% the machine operates continuously for 6 minutes and after this period an idle phase follows
to cool down the internal parts, and then the protection against thermal overload activates again.
Using welding machines and performing welding tasks could represent a risk both for the person operating the machine
and for other persons. Therefore the person operating the welding machine is unconditionally obliged not only to read
the safety regulations presented here but also t know them and to follow them. It is necessary to bear always in mind
that cautious and well instructed operator who strictly adheres its obligations is the best provision against injuries.
Before connecting, preparation, use or transport or the machine you should read regulations listed in the following text
and obey them.
