User manual
All welders should use the following guidelines to minimise exposure to the welding circuit's electromagnetic fields:
• position the welding cables together - securing them with a clamp if possible;
• position yourself (head and body) as far away from the welding circuit as possible;
• never wrap the welding cables around your body;
• do not position yourself in between the welding cables. Keep both welding cables on the same side of the body;
• connect the return cable to the workpiece, as close as possible to the welding area;
• do not work next to, sit on, or lean against the source of the welding current;
• do not weld while the current source or wire feeder is being carried.
Pacemaker users should consult a doctor before using this equipment.
Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have other health effects that are not yet known.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WIRE FEEDER
The wire feeder is equipped with a top handle for carrying by hand. Be careful not to underestimate its weight. 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. Their transportation requirements 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 wire feeder has non-insulated lifting rings, which are intended solely for lifting the wire feeder and not for hoisting it while welding is in progress.
If they are used during welding, the eye bolts must be insulated from the earth of the building.
SETTING UP THE EQUIPMENT
• Put the wire feeder on a floor with a maximum incline of 10°.
• The product should be protected from driving rain and not be exposed to direct sunlight.
• The equipment has an IP23 protection rating which means:
- the dangerous parts of the machine are protect against entry by objects greater than 12.5 mm and,
- it is protected against rain at an angle of 60° to the vertical.
This product can therefore be stored outdoors in accordance with the IP23 protection rating.
The manufacturer assumes no responsibility for damage to persons or objects caused by improper and dangerous use of this
equipment.
The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the wire feeder is disconnected from the welding machine, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance
work.
• Regularly remove the cover and blow out any dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified person, using 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.
Warning! If handling equipment other than that recommended by the manufacturer is used during welding, provide insulation
between the wire feeder casing and the handling equipment.
• The wire feeder must only be used with all hatches closed.
INSTALLATION - USING THE PRODUCT
Only experienced personnel, authorised by the manufacturer, may carry out the set-up of the machine. During set-up, ensure that the power source
is unplugged from the mains. It is recommended to use the welding cables supplied with the unit in order to obtain the optimum product settings.
DESCRIPTION
This equipment is a separate wire feeder for semi-automatic «synergic» welding (MIG or MAG), welding with coated electrodes (MMA) and tungsten
arc welding (TIG) It accepts 200 and 300 mm diameter wire spools.
