  • Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
  • Exposure to EMF may have other unknown health effects.
  • Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF:
    • Route the electrode and work cables together on the same side of your body. Secure them with tape when possible. Do not place your body between the torch and work cables. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body. Keep welding power sources and cables as far away from your body as possible.
    • Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.

FUMES AND GASES : Can be dangerous to health

  • Keep your head out of the fumes.
  • Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone and the general area.

ARC RAYS: Can injure eyes and burn skin

  • Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective clothing.
  • Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

NOISE : Excessive noise can damage hearing

Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

MOVING PARTS : Can cause injuries

  • Keep all doors, panels, and covers closed and securely in place. Have only qualified people remove covers for maintenance and troubleshooting as necessary. Reinstall panels or covers and close doors when service is finished and before starting the engine.
  • Stop the engine before installing or connecting the unit.
  • Keep hands, hair, loose clothing,and tools away from moving parts.

TIG welding
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc initiated from a non-consuming tungsten electrode. The weld pool and electrode are protected by a shielding gas that usually consists of an inert gas. For TIG welding, the welding power source shall be supplemented with:

  • a TIG torch with a gas valve
  • a gas hose connected to the gas supply input (using a hose clamp)
  • an argon gas cylinder
  • an argon gas regulator
  • a tungsten electrode
  • a return cable (with clamp)

This power source performs Live TIG start. The tungsten electrode is placed against the workpiece. When lifted away from the workpiece the arc is struck at a limited current level.

MMA welding

MMA welding may also be referred to as welding with covered electrodes. The arc melts the electrode as well as a local part of the workpiece. The coverage, when melting, forms a protective slag and creates a shielding gas to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.

For MMA welding the power source shall be supplemented with:

  • welding cable with electrode holder
  • return cable with clamp

Connecting welding and return cables
The power source has two outputs, a positive welding terminal (+) and a negative welding terminal (-), for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable is connected depends on the welding method or type of electrode used. Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return cable’s contact clamp to the workpiece, and make sure that there is good contact between the workpiece and the output for the return cable on the power source.

  • For TIG welding, the negative welding terminal (-) is used for the welding torch and the positive welding terminal (+) is used for the return cable.
  • For MMA welding, the welding cable can be connected to the positive welding terminal (+) or negative welding terminal (-), depending on the type of electrode used. The connection polarity is stated on the electrode packaging.

Turning the power on/off
Turn on the power by turning the switch to the “ON” (I) position. Turn the unit off by turning the switch to the “O” position. Whether the power supply is interrupted or the power source is switched off in the normal manner, weld programs are stored so that they are available the next time the unit is started.

CAUTION!
Do not turn off the power source during welding (with load).

Fan control
The ES 210i is fitted with a fan as an additional feature. When the cooling fan is not in use, the fan will automatically turn off.

This has two advantages:

  1. To minimize power consumption,
  2. To minimize the amount of pollutants absorbed into the power source, such as dust.

NOTE!
When cooling is required, the fan will operate otherwise it will automatically turn off.

Thermal protection
The power source includes thermal protection against overheating. When overheating occurs the welding is stopped and the overheating indicator on the panel will be lit and an error message ERR 206 shows in the display. The protection is automatically reset when the temperature has been sufficiently reduced.

Remote control
Connect the remote control on the rear side of the power source and activate the remote control by pressing the remote control button on the panel (remote control indicator being lit when activated). When the remote control is activated the control panel is locked for interaction but displays welding data.

Should a remote device be connected the maximum output current of the power source will be determined by the front panel control knob, irrespective of the remote control device setting.

Functions and symbols

MMA welding
MMA welding may also be referred to as welding with coated electrodes. Striking the arc melts the electrode, and its coating forms protective slag. For MMA welding the power source shall be supplemented with:

  • welding cable with electrode holder
  • return cable with clamp

Arc force
The arc force function determines how the current changes in response to variations in arc length during welding. Use a low value of arc force to get a calm arc with little spatter and use a high value to get a hot and digging arc. Arc force only applies to MMA welding.

Hot start
The hot start function temporarily increases the current at the beginning of the weld. Use this function to reduce the risk of insufficient fusion and electrode sticking and scratching. Hot start only applies to MMA welding.

Cel 6010
Optimized arc characteristics for cellulosic electrodes, such as 6010.

TIG welding
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, an arc initiated from a non- consuming tungsten electrode. The weld pool and electrode are protected by shielding gas.

For TIG welding, the welding power source shall be supplemented with:

  • a TIG torch with a gas valve
  • an argon gas cylinder
  • an argon gas regulator
  • tungsten electrode

This power source performs Live TIG start. The tungsten electrode is placed against the workpiece and presses the torch trigger. When lifted away from the workpiece the arc is struck at a limited current level.ESAB-Renegade-ES-
210i-MMA-Live-TIG-Welder-FIG- \(12\)

Voltage Reduction Device (VRD)
The VRD function ensures that the open-circuit voltage does not exceed 35 V when welding is not being carried out. This is indicated by a lit VRD indicator on the panel. Contact an authorized ESAB service technician to activate this function.

MMA functions explanation

Arc force
The arc force function determines how the current changes in response to variations in arc length during welding. Use a low value of arc force to get a calm arc with little spatter and use a high value to get a hot and digging arc. Arc force only applies to MMA welding.

Hot start
The hot start function temporarily increases the current at the beginning of the weld, thus reducing the risk of lack of fusion in the starting point. Hot start only applies to MMA welding.
