Maintenance / Recommendations - GYS EXAGON 400 CC Mode D'emploi

INSTALLATION
Rules to follow:
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventilation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine must not be used in an area with metal dusts.
• The machine protection level is IP23, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against the rain inclined at 60° towards the vertical.
These devices can be used outside in accordance with the IP23 protection index.
• The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
The manufacturer does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and persons that result from an incorrect
and/or dangerous use of the machine.

MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS

• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person.
• Ensure the machine is switched off by unplugging it, and then wait 2 minutes before carrying out maintenance work. High
Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified
person, with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales
service or an equally qualified person to prevent danger.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During set up, the operator must
ensure that the machine is unplugged. It is recommended to use the welding cables supplied with the unit in order to obtain the optimum product
settings.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION (FIG-1)
The Exagon 400 CC-CV is a three phase inverter welder which, depending on its equipment, can do :
- Electrode welding (MMA)
- Semi automatic welding (MIG/MAG/flux cored wire)
- Tungsten electrode welding (TIG)
- Carbon electrode gouging
The TIG process requires gas shielding (Argon).
The MMA process can weld any type of electrode : rutile, basic, cellulosic, stainless and brass.
The 400 CC-CV can be equipped with a remote control or foot pedal.
