WARNING! Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions when welding and cutting.
ELECTRIC SHOCK – Can kill
- Install and ground the unit in accordance with instruction manual.
- Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
- Insulate yourself from work and ground.
- Ensure your working position is safe
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS – Can be dangerous to health
-
Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
-
Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
-
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 source 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 engine.
-
Stop engine before installing or connecting unit.
-
Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and tools away from moving parts.
FIRE HAZARD.
- Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
- Do not use on closed containers.
MALFUNCTION – Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

NOTE!
Mains supply requirements
This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-12 provided that the short-circuit
power is greater than or equal to Sscmin at the interface point between the
user’s supply and the public system. It is the responsibility of the installer
or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the distribution
network operator if necessary, that the equipment is connected only to a
supply with a short-circuit power greater than or equal to Sscmin. Refer to
the technical data in the TECHNICAL DATA chapter.
Lifting instruction
Location
Position the welding power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not obstructed.
Mains power supply
Check that the welding power source is connected to the correct mains power supply voltage, and that it is protected by the correct fuse size. A protective earth connection must be made in accordance with regulations. Rating plate with supply connection data

The welding power source is designed for connection to a 230 / 400 volt
system with four conductors.
If the power source is to be used in countries with a higher supply voltage,
the power source must be connected via a safety transformer.
OPERATION
General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found in the “SAFETY” chapter of this manual. Read it through before you start using the equipment!
Connections and control devices
- Control panel, see separate instruction 5 Connection for return cable manual
- Mains voltage switch
- Connection for welding cable or welding torch
- Connection for shielding gas
- Connection for start signal from the welding torch
- CAN connection for cooling unit or remote 8 Connection for gas to the torch control unit
Key to symbols
Fan control
The power source has a time control that means that the fans continue to run
for 6.5 minutes after welding has stopped, and the unit switches to energy-
saving mode. The fans start again when welding restarts.
The fans run at reduced speed for welding currents up to 110 A, and at full
speed for higher currents.
Overheating protection
The welding power source has overheating protection that operates if the
temperature becomes too high. When this occurs the welding current is
interrupted and a fault code is displayed on the control panel.
The overheating protection resets automatically when the temperature has
fallen.
MAINTENANCE
NOTE! Regular maintenance is important for safe and reliable operation.
CAUTION! All warranty undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if
the customer attempts any work to rectify any faults in the product during the
warranty period.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized
personnel) may remove the safety plates to connect or carry out service,
maintenance or repair work on welding equipment.
Inspection and cleaning
Power source
Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on: the welding process, arc
times, placement, and the surrounding environment. It is normally sufficient
to blow down the power source with dry compressed air (reduced pressure) once
a year.
Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
Welding torch
- The wear parts of the welding torch should be cleaned and replaced at regular intervals in order to achieve trouble-free wire feed. Blow the wire guide clean regularly and clean the contact tip.
FAULT-TRACING
Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorized service technician.
Type of fault | Corrective action |
---|---|
No arc. |
- Check that the mains power supply switch is turned on.
- Check that the welding current supply and return cables are correctly connected.
- Check that the correct current value is set.
The welding current is interrupted during welding.|
- Check whether the overheating protection has operated (fault code E6 is displayed on the control panel).
- Check the mains power supply fuses.
The overheating protection trips frequently.| Make sure that you are not
exceeding the rated data for the welding power source (i.e. that the unit is
not being overloaded).
Poor welding performance.|
- Check that the welding current supply and return cables are correctly connected.
- Check that the correct current value is set.
- Check that the correct electrodes are being used.
- Check the mains power supply fuses.
