MIG WELDING MACHINES
Congratulations on buying your new MIG Welder. With this welding unit you can
now experience many advantages of the MIG welding process. This welder will
enable you to obtain a professional finish in welding, car bodywork, and many other
thin steel welding processes for which this machine is ideal.
SAFETY
BEFORE OPERATING THE WELDER, YOU MUST OBSERVE THE
SAFETY NOTICE GIVEN BELOW.
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!
DUTY CYCLE
The machine capacities are represented by the data "Duty cycle" (%) on the
machine rating label i.e. the ration between the welding time and the cooling time
under 40° C environment temperature. 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 the duty cycle of 60% at 40℃, the machine operates
continuously for 6 minutes at that current and after this period an idle phase
follows to cool down the internal parts, and then the protection against thermal
overload activates again. Also, the lower the environment temperature is; the
higher duty cycle can reach under the same welding current. 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 to know and to follow them. It is necessary to always bear
All manuals and user guides at all-guides.com
in mind that cautious and well instructed operator who strictly adhere to its
obligations is the best provision against injuries. Before connecting, preparation,
use or transport of the machine you should read regulations listed in the following
text and obey them.
INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE SAFETY
Installation and maintenance of the machine must be performed in accordance to
local safety regulations. Observe the wear of the cables of interconnection
elements and plugs. If damaged they should be replaced. Perform regular
maintenance of the machine. Use only cables that are of sufficient cross-section.
Connect the grounding cable as close to the work place as possible. Under no
circumstances, may the machine be used in a damp environment. Ensure that the
work place is dry in the area of welding and that objects including the welding
machine itself are dry. The welder is of IP21S protection degree, which means it
must not be exposed to rain and moisture when being operated or stored. The
environment temperature for the welder is -10° C to 40° C.
PERSONAL PERSONS PROTECTION AND PROTECTION OF
THIRD PERSONS
Radiation and heat are generated during the welding process therefore it is
necessary to ensure the use of suitable protective means and to take precautions
to protect both himself/herself and third persons.
PREVENTIVE MEASURES AGAINST FIRE AND EXPLOSION
Incandescent parts of slag and sparkles could cause a fire. Fire and explosion
represent additional risks. They can be avoided by meeting these precautions: do
not use the machine in immediate proximity of easily inflammable materials like
wood, chips, varnishes, solvents, petrol, kerosene, natural gas, acetylene, propane
and similar combustible materials. These must be removed from the work place
and its ambient or possibly protected from sparkles. Suitable extinguishing agent
should be ready nearby as a measure to extinguish a fire. Do not perform welding
Never expose yourself or any other persons to the effects of
electric arc or hot metal without necessary protection.
Take care of exhaustion of welding fume and proper ventilation
of welding workplace.
