GYS NEOFEED 4W Mode D'emploi page 29

• connect the earth clamp as close as possible to the welding area;
• do not work too close to, do not lean and do not sit on the welding machine
• do not weld when transporting the welding machine or its wire feeder.
People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor before using this device.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding can have other health effects that are not yet known.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WIRE FEEDER
The wire feeder is equipped with handles for easy transportation. Be careful not to underestimate the weight of the machine. The handle cannot be
used to hang or attach the machine on something else. Never lift the machine while there is a gas bottle on the support shelf. The transport rules
applying to each item are different.
Do not carry the unit over people or objects.
The removal of the wire reel from the machine is recommended before undertaking any lifting operation.
The machine is fitted with non-insulated lifting eye bolts, they are designed for wire feeder maintenance and not for wire feeder lifting during
welding operations. If they are used during welding, the eye bolts must be insulated from the building's earth.
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• Place the wire feeder on a floor with a maximum incline of 10°.
- Provide sufficient floor space to ventilate the feeder and access the controls.
• This equipment must be used and stored in a place protected from dust, acid, gas or any other corrosive substance.
- The dispenser must be protected from driving rain and not exposed to sunlight.
• The equipment protection is rated IP23 meaning that :
- sensitive parts of the equipment are protected from objects with a diam >12.5 mm and,
- it is protected again rainfall with a 60° vertical incline.
The equipment can be used outside in accordance with the IP23 protection certification.
GYS does not incur any responsibility 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. A yearly maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and then wait 2 minutes before carrying out maintenance work. High voltage
and currents inside the machine are high and dangerous.
• Regularly remove the case and remove any excess dust. Take the opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified person, with
an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the connection cable between the wire feeder and the machine. If found damaged, the interconnection cable must
be replaced.
- Leave the hose reel openings free for air intake and outlet.
- Do not use this unit to defrost pipes, recharge batteries/capacitors or start engines.
• Warning ! If a transport/handling solution (e.g. trolley) other than the one recommended by the manufacturer is used to move the unit while
welding, make sure that the transport/handling tool is insulated from the case of the wire feeder.
• All the side doors of the wire feeder must be closed when the unit is switched on.
Stray welding currents can damage earth connections, damage electrical equipment and cause overheating of components which
could result in fire.
- All welding connections must be firmly secured, check regularly !
- Make sure that the metal part fixation is strong and without any electrical problems !
- Attach or hang all the electrically conductive elements, such as the trolley or lifting systems in order to insulate them !
- Do not place any electrical equipment such as drills on top of the welding machine or its trolley without insulating them!
- Always place welding torches or electrodes holders on an insulated surface when they're not in use!
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorised by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During the installation, the
operator must ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains.
