• This class A device is not intended for use in residential areas where electrical power is supplied fromalow- voltage power supply. There may be potential difficulties in providing electromagnetic compatibility due to radio frequency interference transmitted and emitted in such places.
  This device is not compliant with IEC 61000 -3-12. In case if it is  desired to be connected to the low voltage network used in the home, the installer to make the electrical connection or the person who will use the machine must be aware that the machine has been connected in such a manner; in this case the responsibility belongs to the user.

• Make sure that the work area complies with electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).
  Electromagnetic interferences during welding / cutting operations may cause undesired effects  on your electronic devices and network; and the effects of these interferences that may occur  during these operations are under the responsibility of the user.

• If there is any interference, to ensure compliance; extra measures may be taken, such as the  use of short cables, use of shielded (armored) cables, transportation of the welding machine to another location, removal of cables from the affected device and/or area, use of filters or taking the work area under protection in terms of EMC.

• To avoid possible EMC damage, make sure to perform your welding / cutting operations as far away from your sensitive electronic devices as possible (100 m).

• Ensure that your welding and/or cutting machine has been installed and situated in its place according to the user manual.

Evaluation Of Electromagnetic Suitability Of The Work Area
According to article 5.2 of IEC 60974-9;
Before installing the welding / cutting equipment, the person in charge of the operation and / or the user must conduct an inspection of possible electromagnetic interference in the environment.
Aspects indicated below has to be taken into consideration;
a) Other supply cables, control cables, signal and telephone cables, above and below the welding / cutting machine and its equipment,
b) Radio and television transmitters and receivers,
c) Computer and other control hardware,
d) Critical safety equipment, e.g. protection of industrial equipment,
e) Medical apparatus for people in the vicinity, e.g. pacemakers and hearing aids,
f) Equipment used for measuring or calibration,
g) Immunity of other equipment in the environment. The user must ensure that the other equipment in use in the environment is compatible. This may require additional protection
measures.
h) Considering the time during which the welding / cutting operations or other activities take place during the day, the boundaries of the investigation area can be expanded according to the size of the building, the structure of the building and other activities that are being performed in the building.
In addition to the evaluation of the field, evaluation of device installations may also be necessary for solving the interfering effect. In case if deemed necessary, on-site measurements can also be used to confirm the efficiency of mitigation measures. (Source: IEC 60974-9).

Electromagnetic Interference Reduction Methods

• The appliance must be connected to the electricity supply in the recommended manner by a competent person. If interference occurs, additional measures may be applied, such as filtering the network. The supply of the fixed-mounted arc welding equipment must be made in a metal tube or with an equivalent shielded cable. The housing of the power supply must be connected and a good electrical contact between these two structures has to be provided.
• The recommended routine maintenance of the appliance must be carried out. All covers on the body of the machine must be closed and / or locked when the device is in use. Any changes, other than the standard settings without the written approval of the manufacturer, cannot be modified on the appliance. Otherwise, the user is responsible for any consequences that may possibly occur.
• Welding / cutting cables should be kept as short as possible. They must move along the floor of the work area, in a side by side manner. Welding / cutting cables should not be wound in any way.
• A magnetic field is generated on the machine during welding / cutting. This may cause the machine to pull metal parts on to itself. To avoid this attraction, make sure that the  metal materials are at a safe distance or fixed. The operator must be insulated from all these interconnected metal materials.
• In cases where the workpiece cannot be connected to the ground due to electrical safety, or because of its size and position (for example, in building marine vessel bodies or in steel construction manufacturing), a connection between the workpiece and the grounding may reduce emissions in some cases, it should be kept in mind that grounding of the  workpiece may cause users to sustain injuries or other electrical equipment in the environment to break down. In cases where necessary, the workpiece and the grounding connection can be made as a direct connection, but in some countries where direct connection is not permissible, the connection can be established using appropriate capacity elements in accordance with local regulations and ordinances.
• Screening and shielding of other devices and cables in the work area can prevent aliasing effects. Screening of the entire welding / cutting area can be evaluated for some specific applications.

Electromagnetic Field (EMF)

The electrical current passing through any conductor generates zonal electric and magnetic fields (EMF).
All operators must follow the following procedures to minimize the risk of exposure to EMF;

• In the name of reducing the magnetic field, the welding / cutting cables must be assembled and secured as far as possible with the joining materials (tape, cable ties etc.).

• The operator’s body and head should be kept as far away from the welding / cutting machine and cables as possible, The electrical current passing through any conductor generates zonal electric and magnetic fields (EMF).
  All operators must follow the following procedures to minimize the risk of exposure to EMF;

• In the name of reducing the magnetic field, the welding / cutting cables must be assembled and secured as far as possible with the joining materials (tape, cable ties etc.).

• The operator’s body and head should be kept as far away from the welding / cutting machine and cables as possible,

• Welding / cutting and electric cables should not be wrapped around the body of the machine in any way,

• The body of the machine should not get caught between the welding / cutting cables. The source cables must be kept away from the body of the machine, both being placed side  by side,

3.4 Connection to Mains

Depending on the selected Mode, welding set current adjustment will be done with the help of the pot. The setting will be performed by turning the pot left or right.
Connect the poles according to the type of the welding process.

• Start the machine with the on / off switch.
• Turn the machine off by turning the on / off switch back to off after hearing the fan noise and seeing the mains lamp is illuminated.

3.5 Selection and Replacement of Wire Feed Rollers

• Open the cover of the wire feed part. You will see the four-roller wire feed system.

  3- Pressure Roller Handle| 4- Pressure Rollers
  5- Wire Feed Rollers
  6- WF Roller Screws
  ---|---
• Use wire feed rollers suitable for the material and diameter of the welding wire you will use. Use V-grooved wire feed rollers for steel and stainless steel, corrugated V-grooves for cored wires and U corrugated ones for aluminum.
• If you need to replace the wire feed rollers, pull the pressure roller lever toward your side and after lifting the pressure rollers, remove the wire feed roller screws and remove the existing rollers.

Both sides of the rollers are marked according to the wire diameter used. Place the rollers on the flange so that the wire diameter value you will use will be on the side facing your side.

• After inserting the rollers, you will use, re-insert the screws and lower the pressure rollers and lock the pressure roller lever onto the rollers.

3.6 Placing the Wire Spool and Wire Feeding Process

• Unscrew the screw of the wire transport system by turning it. Insert the welding wire roller parallel to the wire ground and always from the bottom to the wire transport system shaft and re-tighten the screw.

Over-tightening the nut will prevent the wire from feeding and may cause failures. Under-tightening of the nut may cause the roller to be released at the time wire feed is stopped and mixed after a while. For this reason, do not connect the nut too tightly or too loosely.

• Pull and lower the pressure lever on the wire feed rollers, which means bring the pressure rollers to idle position.
• Remove the welding wire from the point where the roller is connected and cut off the end with a side chisel.

If the end of the wire is missed, the wire can jump like a spring and damage you and others.

• Pass the wire through the wire entry slot without releasing the wire into the rollers and into the torch through the rollers.

• Press the pressure rollers and lift the pressure lever 1.
• Turn the on/off switch to position “1” to start the machine 2.
• Press the trigger until the wire comes out from the tip of the torch, while observing that the welding wire roller rotates freely then push and release the trigger a few times to check for any loosening of the winding 3. If loosening and/or backwinding is observed, tighten the screw of the wire bearing system.
• Re-attach the nozzle and contact nozzle to the torch when the wire comes out from the tip of the torch 4.
• Drive the wire on a 5 board and make the appropriate wire pressure adjustment 6 and cut the tip of the wire 7.

A: Suitable wire pressure and conduit dimensions
B: The wire is distorted since the pressure lever is too tight.
C: The roller surface is deteriorated due to excessive pressure on the pressure lever.
D: The conduit length of the roller is small for the wire used. The shape of the wire is distorted.
E: The conduit length of the roller is big for the wire used. The wire cannot be transmitted to the welding area.

Make the gas adjustment and gas test by lifting the wire feed roller pressure lever!

• Adjust the gas flow with the flow control valve.
• Practical gas flow rate (CO, Ar, mixture) is 10 times of wire diameter. For example, if the wire diameter is 0.9 mm, the gas flow rate can be adjusted as 10 x 0.9 = 9 l/min.
• You can use the table on the side for more precise flow adjustment.
• After adjusting the gas flow, lift the thrust bearing arm and close the wire feed unit door.

Diameter (mm)| Mild Steel and
Metal Cored| Flux Cored| Stainless Steel| Aluminium
---|---|---|---|---
0.8| 8 lt/min| 7 lt/min| 8 lt/min| 8 lt/min
0.9| 9 lt/min| 8 lt/min| 9 lt/min| 9 lt/min
1.0| 10 lt/min| 9 lt/min| 10 lt/min| 10 lt/min
1.2| 12 lt/min| 11 lt/min| 12 lt/min| 12 lt/min

Note: Recommended values in standard conditions.
