• Machine Operating Safety:
  • Do not switch the function modes while the machine is operating. Switching of the function modes during welding can damage the machine. Damage caused in this manner will not be covered under warranty.
  • Disconnect the electrode-holder cable from the machine before switching on the machine, to avoid arcing should the electrode be in contact with the work piece.
  • Operators should be trained and qualified.
  • Electric shock: It can kill. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on. In MIG/MAG welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire feed housing, and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is dangerous.
  • Connect the primary input cable according to Australian and New Zealand standards and regulations.
  • Avoid all contact with live electrical parts of the welding/cutting circuit, electrodes, and wires with bare hands.
  • The operator must wear dry welding gloves while he/she performs the welding/cutting task.
  • The operator should keep the work piece insulated from himself/herself.
  • Keep cords dry, free of oil and grease, and protected from hot metal and sparks.
  • Frequently inspect input power cable for wear and tear; replace the cable immediately if damaged. Bare wiring is dangerous and can kill.
  • Do not use damaged, undersized, or badly joined cables.
  • Do not drape cables over your body.
  • A residual current device (RCD) safety switch is recommended with this equipment to detect any leakage of current to earth.
• Fumes and gases are dangerous: Smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting can be harmful to people's health. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting; keep your head out of the fumes.
  • Keep the working area well ventilated; use fume extraction or ventilation to remove welding/cutting fumes and gases.
  • In confined or heavy fume environments, always wear an approved air-supplied respirator.
  • Welding/cutting fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level, causing injury or death. Be sure the breathing air is safe.
  • Do not weld/cut in locations near de-greasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapours to form highly toxic and irritating gases.
  • Materials such as galvanized, lead, or cadmium plated steel, containing elements that can give off toxic fumes when welded/cut, should not be welded/cut unless the area is very well ventilated and/or an air supplied respirator is worn.
• Arc rays: Harmful to people's eyes and skin. Arc rays from the welding/cutting process produce intense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin. Always wear a welding helmet with the correct shade of filter lens and suitable protective clothing, including welding gloves, whilst the welding/cutting operation is performed. Measures should be taken to protect people in or near the surrounding working area. Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from flash, glare, and sparks; warn others not to watch the arc.
• Fire hazard: Welding/cutting on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying sparks from the welding/cutting arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding/cutting.
  • The welding/cutting sparks & spatter may cause fire; therefore, remove any flammable materials well away from the working area. Cover flammable materials and containers with approved covers if unable to be moved from the welding/cutting area.
  • Do not weld/cut on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes, unless they are properly prepared according to the required Safety Standards to ensure that flammable or toxic vapours and substances are totally removed, as these can cause an explosion even though the vessel has been “cleaned”. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting, or welding. They may explode.
  • Do not weld/cut where the atmosphere may contain flammable dust, gas, or liquid vapours (such as petrol).
  • Have a fire extinguisher nearby and know how to use it. Be alert that welding/cutting sparks and hot materials from welding/cutting can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Be aware that welding/cutting on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can cause fire on the hidden side.
• Gas Cylinders: Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Because gas cylinders are normally part of the welding/cutting process, be sure to treat them carefully. CYLINDERS can explode if damaged.
  • Protect gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, physical damage, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.
  • Ensure cylinders are held secure and upright to prevent tipping or falling over.
  • Never allow the welding/cutting electrode or earth clamp to touch the gas cylinder; do not drape welding cables over the cylinder.
  • Never weld/cut on a pressurized gas cylinder; it will explode and kill you.
  • Open the cylinder valve slowly and turn your face away from the cylinder outlet valve and gas regulator.
• Gas build up: The build-up of gas can cause a toxic environment, depleting the oxygen content in the air, resulting in death or injury. Many gases used in welding/cutting are invisible and odourless.
  • Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use.
  • Always ventilate confined spaces or use an approved air-supplied respirator.
• Electronic magnetic fields: MAGNETIC FIELDS can affect Implanted Medical Devices.
  • Wearers of Pacemakers and other Implanted Medical Devices should keep away.
  • Implanted Medical Device wearers should consult their doctor and the device manufacturer before going near any electric welding, cutting, or heating operation.
• Noise can damage hearing: Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.
  • Wear approved ear protection if noise level is high.
• Hot parts: Items being welded/cut generate and hold high heat and can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts with bare hands. Allow a cooling period before working on the welding/cutting gun. Use insulated welding gloves and clothing to handle hot parts and prevent burns.

CAUTION

The machine will be ready for use again when the internal temperature reaches a safe level.
  • Over-Voltage Supply: Regarding the power supply voltage range of the machine, please refer to the "Main parameter" table. This equipment has automatic voltage compensation, which enables the maintaining of the voltage range within the given range. In case that the voltage of input power supply amperage exceeds the stipulated value, it is possible to cause damage to the components of this equipment. Please ensure your primary power supply is correct.
  • Output Terminals: Do not come into contact with the output terminals while the machine is in operation. An electric shock may possibly occur.

ATTENTION! - CHECK FOR GAS LEAKAGE

At initial setup and at regular intervals, we recommend checking for gas leakage. Recommended procedure is as follows:

1. Connect the regulator and gas hose assembly and tighten all connectors and clamps.
2. Slowly open the cylinder valve.
3. Set the flow rate on the regulator to approximately 8-10 L/min.
4. Close the cylinder valve and pay attention to the needle indicator of the contents pressure gauge on the regulator. If the needle drops away towards zero, there is a gas leak. Sometimes a gas leak can be slow and to identify it will require leaving the gas pressure in the regulator and line for an extended time period. In this situation, it is recommended to open the cylinder valve, set the flow rate to 8-10 L/min, close the cylinder valve, and check after a minimum of 15 minutes.
5. If there is a gas loss, then check all connectors and clamps for leakage by brushing or spraying with soapy water; bubbles will appear at the leakage point.
6. Tighten clamps or fittings to eliminate gas leakage.

IMPORTANT! We strongly recommend that you check for gas leakage prior to operation of your machine. We recommend that you close the cylinder valve when the machine is not in use.

TECHNICAL DATA

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW): Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) is an arc welding process where a consumable wire is fed by motor-driven feed rolls to a welding gun, and where welding current is supplied from the welding power source. The welding arc is struck between the work piece and the end of the wire, which melts into the weld pool. The arc and the weld pool are both shielded by gas flow from the gun, or in the case of "self-shielded" wires, by gases generated by the wire core. The process is very versatile in that by selection of the correct wire composition, diameter, and shielding gas, it can be used for applications ranging from sheet-metal to heavy plate, and metals ranging from carbon steel to aluminum alloys.
