RECOMMENDAED METHODS TO REDUCE ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS
a. National power grid: The arc welding machine must be connected to the national power grid in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendation. In case of interferences, it may be necessary to take additional precautions such as the filtering of the power supply network.
Consideration should be given to shielding the power supply cable in a metal conduit or equivalent of permanently installed arc welding equipment. It
is necessary to ensure the electrical continuity of the frame along its entire length. The shielding should be connected to the welding current source
to ensure a good electrical contact between the conduit and the casing of the welding current source.
b. Maintenance of the resistance welding equipment: The resistance welding machine should be subject to a routine maintenance check in line
with the recommendations of the manufacturer. All accesses, service doors and covers should be closed and properly locked when the arc welding
equipment is on. The arc welding equipment must not be modified in any way, except for the changes and settings covered in the instructions.
c. Welding cables: Cables must be as short as possible, close to each other and close to the ground, if not on the ground.
d. Equipotential bonding: consideration should be given to bond all metal objects in the surrounding area. However, metal objects connected to
the workpiece increase the risk of 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 - due to electrical safety reasons or because of its size or 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 equipment. If necessary, it is appropriate that
the earthing of the part is done directly, but the safety rules in some countries may not allow such a direct connection and it is appropriate that the
connection is made using a capacitor selected according to national regulations.
f. Protection and shielding: The selective protection and shielding 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 WELDING MACHINE
The top of the machine is equipped with handles for movement by hand. Be careful not to underestimate the weight of the
machine. The handles cannot be used to lift the product.
Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. Do not place/carry the unit over people or objects.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°).
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP20, which means :
- Protection against access to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a diameter ≥12.5mm and,
- Protection against water projections.
Power cables, extension leads and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
The manufacturer does not accept any liability in relation to damages caused to objects or harm caused to persons as the result
of incorrect and/or dangerous use of the machine.
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• The operators must have received suitable training in order to use the machine at its maximum potential and weld correctly.
• Check which welding process is authorised by the manufacturer before attempting any vehicle repair.
The maintenance and repair of the machine can only be undertaken by the manufacturer. Any work undertaken by a third party on
the machine will invalidate the warranty. The manufacturer will not accept liability in the event of an incident that would occur after
this work was undertaken.
Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and then wait 2 minutes before carrying out maintenance work. Inside the
machine, voltage and current levels are high and dangerous.
• Prior to any work on the machine, turn the air supply off and depressurise the circuit of the machine.
• Make sure to purge the filter of the dehumidifier located at the back of the machine regularly.
• The device is fitted with a balance system designed for easier handling. However, it is not recommended to leave the clamp hanging at the end of
the cable of the balancing system for prolonged periods of time as it might increase wear. Do not drop the clamp repetitively or it might damage the
balancing system.
• It is possible to adjust the tension of the balancing system spring using the spanner provided.
•The level of the cooling liquid is important for the machine to work correctly. It must always be between the «minimum» and «maximum» marks on
the machine. Regularly check the level and top-up when needed.
• It is recommended to renew the cooling liquid every 2 years.
• All the welding tools will wear off with use. Ensure that these tools are clean to get the best results.
