Safety instructions

General

WARNING

Smoke and gases!

Smoke and gases can lead to breathing difficulties and poisoning. In addition, solvent vapour (chlorinated hydrocarbon) may be converted into poisonous phosgene due to the ultraviolet radiation of the arc!

• Ensure that there is sufficient fresh air!

• Keep solvent vapour away from the arc beam field!

• Wear suitable breathing apparatus if appropriate!

Fire hazard!

Flames may arise as a result of the high temperatures, stray sparks, glowing-hot parts and hot slag produced during the welding process.

Stray welding currents can also result in flames forming!

• Check for fire hazards in the working area!

• Do not carry any easily flammable objects such as matches or lighters.

• Keep appropriate fire extinguishing equipment to hand in the working area!

• Thoroughly remove any residue of flammable substances from the workpiece before starting welding.

• Only continue work on welded workpieces once they have cooled down.

Do not allow to come into contact with flammable material!

• Connect welding leads correctly!

Risk of accidents due to non-compliance with the safety instructions!

Non-compliance with the safety instructions can be fatal!

• Carefully read the safety instructions in this manual!

• Observe the accident prevention regulations and any regional regulations!

• Inform persons in the working area that they must comply with the regulations!

Danger when coupling multiple power sources !

Coupling multiple power sources in parallel or in series has to be carried out by qualified personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer's guidelines. Before bringing the power sources into service for arc welding operations, a test has to verify that they cannot exceed the maximum allowed open circuit voltage.

• Connection of the machine may be carried out by qualified personnel only!

• When decommissioning individual power sources, all mains and welding current leads have to be safely disconnected from the welding system as a whole. (Danger due to inverse voltages !

)

• Do not couple welding machines with pole reversing switch (PWS series) or machines for

AC welding, as a minor error in operation can cause the welding voltages to be combined.

CAUTION

Noise exposure!

Noise exceeding 70 dBA can cause permanent hearing damage!

• Wear suitable ear protection!

• Persons located within the working area must wear suitable ear protection!

• Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the machine is switched off.

Damage to the machine due to stray welding currents!

Stray welding currents can destroy protective earth conductors, damage equipment and electronic devices and cause overheating of components leading to fire.

• Make sure all welding leads are securely connected and check regularly.

• Always ensure a proper and secure electrical connection to the workpiece!

• Set up, attach or suspend all conductive power source components like casing, transport vehicle and crane frames so they are insulated!

• Do not place any other electronic devices such as drillers or angle grinders, etc., on the power source, transport vehicle or crane frames unless they are insulated!

• Always put welding torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface when they are not in use!

Mains connection

Requirements for connection to the public mains network

High-performance machines can influence the mains quality by taking current from the mains network. For some types of machines, connection restrictions or requirements relating to the maximum possible line impedance or the necessary minimum supply capacity at the interface with the public network (Point of Common Coupling, PCC) can therefore apply. In this respect, attention is also drawn to the machines' technical data. In this case, it is the responsibility of the operator, where necessary in consultation with the mains network operator, to ensure that the machine can be connected.

10 099-005114-EW501

03.11.2015

Safety instructions

General

CAUTION

EMC Machine Classification

In accordance with IEC 60974-10, welding machines are grouped in two electromagnetic

compatibility classes - See 8 Technical data chapter:

Class A machines are not intended for use in residential areas where the power supply comes from the low-voltage public mains network. When ensuring the electromagnetic compatibility of class A machines, difficulties can arise in these areas due to interference not only in the supply lines but also in the form of radiated interference.

Class B machines fulfil the EMC requirements in industrial as well as residential areas, including residential areas connected to the low-voltage public mains network.

Setting up and operating

When operating arc welding systems, in some cases, electro-magnetic interference can occur although all of the welding machines comply with the emission limits specified in the standard.

The user is responsible for any interference caused by welding.

In order to evaluate any possible problems with electromagnetic compatibility in the surrounding area, the user must consider the following: (see also EN 60974-10 Appendix A)

• Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines

• Radios and televisions

• Computers and other control systems

• Safety equipment

• The health of neighbouring persons, especially if they have a pacemaker or wear a hearing aid

• Calibration and measuring equipment

• The immunity to interference of other equipment in the surrounding area

• The time of day at which the welding work must be carried out

Recommendations for reducing interference emission

• Mains connection, e.g. additional mains filter or shielding with a metal tube

• Maintenance of the arc welding equipment

• Welding leads should be as short as possible and run closely together along the ground

• Potential equalization

• Earthing of the workpiece. In cases where it is not possible to earth the workpiece directly, it should be connected by means of suitable capacitors.

• Shielding from other equipment in the surrounding area or the entire welding system

3.1 Applications

3.1.1 MIG/MAG standard welding

Metal arc welding using a wire electrode, where the arc and the weld pool are shielded from the atmosphere with inert (MIG) or active (MAG) gasses or gas mixtures.

3.1.2 MIG/MAG pulse welding

For machine versions with pulsed arc welding procedures only.

Welding process for optimum welding results when joining unalloyed, low-allow and high-alloy steels and aluminium thanks to controlled droplet transfer and targeted, adapted heat input.

3.1.3 MIG/MAG cored wire welding

Welding with cored wire electrodes consisting of a metal casing and a powder core.

As with MIG/MAG standard welding, the arc is protected from the atmosphere by shielding gas. The gas is supplied either externally (gas shielded cored wires) or produced in the arc by means of the powder core (self-shielding cored wires).

3.1.4 TIG (Liftarc) welding

TIG welding procedure with arc striking by contact with the workpiece and subsequent removal of the electrode.

3.1.5 MMA welding

Manual arc welding or, for short, MMA welding. It is characterised by the fact that the arc burns between a melting electrode and the molten pool. There is no external protection; any protection against the atmosphere comes from the electrode.

3.1.6 Polarity setting

The polarity setting displays the polarity required for the selected JOB on the machine control- See 4.4

Machine control – Operating elements chapter. The required polarity can then be set with the polarity

selection plug.

Design and function

5.1 General

WARNING

Risk of injury from electric shock!

Contact with live parts, e.g. welding current sockets, is potentially fatal!

• Follow safety instructions on the opening pages of the operating instructions.

• Commissioning may only be carried out by persons who have the relevant expertise of working with arc welding machines!

• Connection and welding leads (e.g. electrode holder, welding torch, workpiece lead, interfaces) may only be connected when the machine is switched off!

CAUTION

Insulate the arc welder from welding voltage!

Not all active parts of the welding current circuit can be shielded from direct contact. To avoid any associated risks it is vital for the welder to adhere to the relevant safety regulations. Even low voltages can cause a shock and lead to accidents.

• Wear dry and undamaged protective clothing (shoes with rubber soles/welder's gloves made from leather without any studs or braces)!

• Avoid direct contact with non-insulated connection sockets or connectors!

• Always place torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface!

Risk of burns on the welding current connection!

If the welding current connections are not locked, connections and leads heat up and can cause burns, if touched!

• Check the welding current connections every day and lock by turning in clockwise direction, if necessary.

Risk of injury due to moving parts!

The wire feeders are equipped with moving parts, which can trap hands, hair, clothing or tools and thus injure persons!

• Do not reach into rotating or moving parts or drive components!

• Keep casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!

Risk of injury due to welding wire escaping in an unpredictable manner!

Welding wire can be conveyed at very high speeds and, if conveyed incorrectly, may escape in an uncontrolled manner and injure persons!

• Before mains connection, set up the complete wire guide system from the wire spool to the welding torch!

• Remove the pressure rollers from the wire feeder if no welding torch is fitted!

• Check wire guide at regular intervals!

• Keep all casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!

Risk from electrical current!

If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and an electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage is applied simultaneously on all cables.

• The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insulated surface before starting work and during breaks.

Machine cooling

CAUTION

Damage due to incorrect connection!

Accessory components and the power source itself can be damaged by incorrect connection!

• Only insert and lock accessory components into the relevant connection socket when the machine is switched off.

• Comprehensive descriptions can be found in the operating instructions for the relevant accessory components.

• Accessory components are detected automatically after the power source is switched on.

Using protective dust caps!

Protective dust caps protect the connection sockets and therefore the machine against dirt and damage.

• The protective dust cap must be fitted if there is no accessory component being operated on that connection.

• The cap must be replaced if faulty or if lost!

5.2 Machine cooling

To obtain an optimal duty cycle from the power components, the following precautions should be observed:

• Ensure that the working area is adequately ventilated.

• Do not obstruct the air inlets and outlets of the machine.

• Do not allow metal parts, dust or other objects to get into the machine.

5.3 Workpiece lead, general

CAUTION

Risk of burns due to incorrect connection of the workpiece lead!

Paint, rust and dirt on the connection restrict the power flow and may lead to stray welding currents.

Stray welding currents may cause fires and injuries!

• Clean the connections!

• Fix the workpiece lead securely!

• Do not use structural parts of the workpiece as a return lead for the welding current!

• Take care to ensure faultless power connections!

5.4 Installation

WARNING

Risk of accident due to improper transport of machines that may not be lifted!

Do not lift or suspend the machine! The machine can fall down and cause injuries! The handles and brackets are suitable for transport by hand only!

• The machine may not be lifted by crane or suspended!

CAUTION

Installation site!

The machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and operated on a suitable, stable and level base!

• The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient lighting for the place of work.

• Safe operation of the machine must be guaranteed at all times.

5.9.3 Definition of MIG/MAG welding tasks

This machine range features simple operation with a very wide range of functions.

• JOBs (welding tasks consisting of welding process, type of material, wire diameter and type of shielding gas) are pre-defined for all common welding tasks.

• Simple JOB selection from a list of pre-defined JOBs (sticker on the machine).

• The required process parameters are calculated by the system depending on the operating point specified (single-dial operation via wire speed rotary dial).

• Conventional welding task definition using wire speed and welding voltage is also possible.

The welding task definition described below applies when defining MIG/MAG and cored wire welding tasks.

Pay attention to the signal light for the polarity setting!

It may be necessary to change the welding current polarity depending on the JOB selected or the welding process.

• Reconnect the polarity selction plug if necessary.

5.9.4 Welding task selection

The settings for the respective welding parameters are defined by the different JOBs. The right JOB can be determined quickly with the JOB list .

Validity of the settings.

Spot time, pause time and wire feed speed settings apply to all JOBs. Throttling effect/dynamics, gas post-flow time, gas pre-flow time and wire burn-back correction are stored for each JOB individually.

Changes are stored permanently in the JOB that is currently selected.

If required, these parameter values can be reset to the factory settings- See 7.3 Resetting welding parameters to the factory settings chapter.

5.9.4.1 JOB selection

• Select JOB (welding task) by means of the JOB list.

The "JOB list" sticker is on the inside of the cover of the wire feed unit.

Appendix A

11.1 JOB-List

We recommend using the characteristics for 1.0-mm solid wire electrodes also for the 0.9-mm solid wire electrodes.

For machine versions with pulsed arc welding procedures only.

MIG/MAG pulse arc welding can be selected with JOBs 6, 34, 42, 74, 75, 82, 83, 90, 91, 110, 111,

114 and 115. If an attempt is made to set another JOB to pulse, "noP" = "no Pulse" appears briefly on the display and the machine is reset to standard.
