1.8. OTHER INFORMATIONS

When performing welding work, you must apply equally to the health and safety requirements
contained in the current normative acts, applicable in your country. ENG

WARNING: The maximum voltage of 15kV. Accidental pressing of the microswitch

results in unintentional arc ignition. Never bring a bare hand close to the electrode,
when the device is connected to a power source.

1.9. SYMBOLS USED IN INSTRUCTIONS

We use this symbol to pay your attention about important

information.

2. ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD (EMF)

Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized electric and magnetic
fields (EMF). All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize the
risk associated with exposure to EMF from the welding circuit:
• Route the welding cables together – secure them with tape when possible
• Place your torso and head as far away as possible from the welding circuit
• Never coil welding cables around your body
• Do not place your body between welding cables. Keep both welding cables on the same
side of your body;.
• Connect the return cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded
• Do not work next to, sit or lean on the welding power source
• Do not weld whilst carrying the welding power source or wire feeder

WARNING: The electromagnetic field (EMF) generated during welding (and

allied processes) may interfere with the operation of implanted medical devices
for example: cardiac pacemakers. Persons with implanted medical devices such
as cardiac pacemakers are obliged to consult a doctor before starting to weld/
plasma cutting and to exercise special caution during work. It is forbidden for such
persons to be present in the vicinity of the place where welding/plasma cutting
processes are realized without previous consultation of a doctor.

3. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

ENG
WARNING: This Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations
where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system.
There can be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in
those locations due to conducted as well radiated radio-frequency disturbances.

3.1. GENERAL

The user is responsible for installing and using the arc welding equipment according
to the manufacturer’s instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected, then
it shall be the responsibility of the user of the arc welding equipment to resolve the
situation with the technical assistance of the manufacturer. In some cases this remedial
action may be as simple as earthing the welding circuit. In other cases, it could involve
constructing an electromagnetic screen enclosing the welding power source and the
work complete with associated input filters. In all cases electromagnetic disturbances
shall be reduced to the point where they are no longer troublesome.

Welding and plasma cutting processes may emit additional interferences. User is
responsibility for the interferences caused by welding and plasma cutting.

3.2. ASSESMENT OF AREA

Before installing arc welding equipment, the user shall make an assessment of potential
electromagnetic interferences in the surrounding area. The following shall be taken into
account:
a) other supply cables, control cables, signaling and telephone cables, above, below
and adjacent to the arc welding equipment
b) radio and television transmitters and receivers
c) computer and other control equipment
d) safety critical equipment, for example guarding of industrial equipment
e) the health of the people around, for example the use of pacemakers and hearing aids
f) equipment used for calibration or measurement
g) the immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user shall ensure that
other equipment being used in the environment is compatible. This may require
additional protection measures.
h) the time of day that welding or other activities are to be carried out.
The size of the surrounding area to be considered will depend on the structure of the
building and other activities that are taking place. The surrounding area may extend
beyond the boundaries of the premises

3.3. METHODS OF REDUCING EMMISIONS

Methods of reducing electromagnetic interference are listed in detail in the standard E

N 60974-9 - „Arc welding equipment - Part 9: Installation and use”.

Duty cycle is the time during which You can weld or cut at a certain
load without causing overload. It is expressed in percent for time
period of complete cycle which equals 10 minutes. For example:
60% duty cycle means that for 6 minutes device can operate
at given load, after that required 4 minutes time break (no-load
operation). Duty cycle is given to ambient temperature of 40°C

The device has a degree of protection IP23S. Which means that it

is intended to be used in closed and covered areas and suitable for
use outdoors. However it is not designed to be used outdoor during
precipitation if it is not covered.

Protection against overheating

Security system from overheating will turn on when the welder is over-
heat (possibility of welding is turned off, abnormal indicator on front
panel lights up). In such a situation, You should not turning off the unit
immediately. Wait some time until fan cools the unit. Time to return to

8. MAINTENANCE

WARNING: Before performing any maintenance or repairing of device,

disconnect welder from the power source and wait at least 5 minutes. The voltage
accumulated in capacitors should be discharged at this time to a safe level. But
even after that operation you should be careful.

Maintenance and repair work may be performed only by qualified

personnel with the appropriate permissions. Regular maintenance
provides adequate service life and trouble-free operation of the device.

Routine maintenance (Daily: before use/installation):

• Perform a visual inspection of the housing, knobs, control panel.
• Inspect (visual inspection) the power cord and power plug. Check the insulation of the
cable.
• Check the condition of welding cables and their connectors. If cable insulation is da-
maged - replace it. If connection is too loose - eliminate backlash.
• Check if cooling fan is working properly
• Make sure that all vents are not obstructed.

At least once a month:

• Regularly remove dust from inside of the machine. Use for this compressed air. The
pressure should be sufficiently low so as not to damage small components inside the
machine. If in the workplace, dust levels are high. You should clean machine often.
• Perform inspection of connection of internal electrical components. If anywhere the
joints are loose, tighten them.
