Translation of the original instructions
• The machine protection level is IP21, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against vertically falling drops.
• 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. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance work. DANGER
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.
• 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.

• Do not place your hand on mobile/pivoting/wire feeding parts of the machine!
• Make sure that all panels remain closed when in use !
• Do not wear gloves when feeding the wire through or changing reel.

DESCRIPTION
Thank you for your choosing this product. In order to get the best from your purchase, please read with care the
following instructions:
The MIG 240 is «synergic» semi-automatic welding units on wheels, ventilated for welding (MIG or MAG). It is recom-
mended to weld steel, stainless steel and for "MIG Brazing" of high-tensile strength steels with CuSi and CuAl wires
(ideal for car body repairs). Its adjustment is quick and easy with their « synergic wire speed » function. The MIG
240 work on single phase on 208/240V.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
The absorbed current (I1rms) is indicated on the device, for its maximum setting. Check that the power supply and its
protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed by the machine. The device must be
positioned so that the socket is always accessible.
For single phase power supply 208V, WARNING: this device is pre-assembled at the factory on single
phase 240V. If your electrical installation is single phase 208V, amend the connections on the terminal
block inside the product. This operation must be done by a skilled and qualified person. Please see elec-
trical diagram 208V located inside the product. The power supply must be protected by a circuit breaker
16A and 1 differential 30mA (See electrical diagram at the end of the manual).
