d. Electrical bonding : consideration shoud be given to bonding all metal objects in the surrounding area. However,
metal objects connected to the workpiece increase the riskof electric shock if the operator touches both these metal
elements and the electrode. It is necessary to insulate the operator from such metal objects.
e. Earthing of the welded part : When the part is not earthed because for electrical safety reasons or because of its
size and its location (which is the case with ship hulls or metallic building structures), the earthing of the part can, in
some cases but not systematically, reduce emissions. It is preferable to avoid the earthing of parts that could increase
the risk of injury to the users or damage other electrical equipments. If necessary, it is appropriate that the earthing
of the part is done directly, but in some countries that do not allow such a direct connection, it is appropriate that the
connection is made with a capacitor selected according to national regulations.
f. Protection and plating : The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can reduce
perturbation issues. The protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specific situations.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE MACHINE
The machine is equipped with a handle to facilitate transport. Be careful not to underestimate the
machine's weight.
Do not use the cables or torch to lift or move the machine. The welding equipment must be moved in
an upright position.
. Transportation standards are different.
INSTALLATION
Rules to follow:
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation 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 metallic dust.
• The machine benefits from an IP21 protection index, which means:
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against vertically falling water droplets
The manufacturer does not incur any responsibility regarding damage 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 unplugged, and that the inside fan has stopped before carrying out mainte-
nance work. Caution - High Voltage and dangerous Current levels can be present 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 these machines to thaw pipes.
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. Connecting generators in a series or a parallel
circuit is forbidden.
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The 100P, 130P, 160P, 200P are Inverter technology based welding machines, portable, single phase, fan cooled, for
electrode welding (MMA) in direct current output(DC). These machines can weld all types of electrodes : rutile, basic/
low hydrogen (except 100P), stainless and cast iron. They're protected to work with generators (230 V +- 15%).
