Lower or equal to 90% at 20°C (68°F). Altitude: Up to 1000 meters above sea level (3280 feet).
PROTECTION OF THE INDIVIDUALS
Arc welding can be dangerous and can cause serious and even fatal injuries.
Welding exposes the user to dangerous heat, arc rays, electromagnetic fields,
noise, gas fumes, and electrical shocks. People wearing pacemakers are advised
to consult with their doctor before using this device. To protect oneself as
well as the other, ensure the following safety precautions are taken :
- In order to protect you from burns and radiations, wear clothing without cuffs. These clothes must be insulated, dry, fireproof and in good condition, and cover the whole body.
- Wear protective gloves which guarantee electrical and thermal insulation.
- Use sufficient welding protective gear for the whole body: hood, gloves, jacket, trousers… (varies depending on the application/operation). Protect the eyes during cleaning operations. Do not operate whilst wearing contact lenses.
- It may be necessary to install fireproof welding curtains to protect the area against arc rays, weld spatters and sparks.
- Inform the people around the working area to never look at the arc nor the molten metal, and to wear protective clothes.
- Ensure ear protection is worn by the operator if the work exceeds the authorised noise limit (the same applies to any person in the welding area).
- Stay away from moving parts (e.g. engine, fan…) with hands, hair, clothes etc…
- Never remove the safety covers from the cooling unit when the machine is plugged in – The manufacturer is not responsible for any accident or injury that happens as a result of not following these safety precautions.
- The pieces that have just been welded are hot and may cause burns when manipulated. During maintenance work on the torch or the electrode holder, you should make sure it’s cold enough and wait at least 10 minutes before any intervention. The cooling unit must be on when using a water cooled torch in order to ensure that the liquid does not cause any burns. ALWAYS ensure the working area is left as safe and secure as possible to prevent damage or accidents.
WELDING FUMES AND GAS
The fumes, gases and dust produced during welding are hazardous. It is
mandatory to ensure adequate ventilation and/or extraction to keep fumes and
gases away from the work area. An air fed helmet is recommended in cases of
insufficient air supply in the workplace. Check that the air intake is in
compliance with safety standards. Care must be taken when welding in small
areas, and the operator will need supervision from a safe distance. Welding
certain pieces of metal containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium
can be extremely toxic. The user will also need to degrease the workpiece
before welding. Gas cylinders must be stored in an open or ventilated area.
The cylinders must be in a vertical position secured to a support or trolley.
Do not weld in areas where grease or paint are stored.
FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISKS
Protect the entire welding area. Compressed gas containers and other
inflammable material must be moved to a minimum safe distance of 11 meters. A
fire extinguisher must be readily available. Be careful of spatter and sparks,
even through cracks. It can be the source of a fire or an explosion. Welding
of sealed containers or closed pipes should not be undertaken, and if opened,
the operator must remove any inflammable or explosive materials (oil, petrol,
gas…). Grinding operations should not be directed towards the device itself,
the power supply or any flammable materials.
GAS BOTTLE
Gas leaking from the cylinder can lead to suffocation if present in high
concentrations around the work area. Transport must be done safely: Cylinders
closed and product off. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely
chained to a fixed support or trolley. Close the bottle after any welding
operation. Be wary of temperature changes or exposure to sunlight. Cylinders
should be located away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to
physical damage. Always keep gas bottles at a safe distance from arc welding
or cutting operations, and any source of heat, sparks or flames. Be careful
when opening the valve on the gas bottle, it is necessary to remove the tip of
the valve and make sure the gas meets your welding requirements.
ELECTRIC SAFETY
The machine must be connected to an earthed electrical supply. Use the
recommended fuse size. An electrical discharge can directly or indirectly
cause serious or deadly accidents .
The machine must be connected to an earthed electrical supply. Use the
recommended fuse size. An electrical discharge can directly or indirectly
cause serious or deadly accidents .
Do not touch any live part of the machine (inside or outside) when it is
plugged in (Torches, earth cable, cables, electrodes) because they are
connected to the welding circuit.
Before opening the device, it is imperative to disconnect it from the mains
and wait 2 minutes, so that all the capacitors are discharged. Do not touch
the torch or electrode holder and earth clamp at the same time. Damaged cables
and torches must be changed by a qualified and skilled professional. Make sure
that the cable cross section is adequate with the usage (extensions and
welding cables). Always wear dry clothes in good condition, in order to be
insulated from the electrical circuit. Wear insulating shoes, regardless of
the environment in which you work in.
EMC CLASSIFICATION
These Class A devices are not intended to be used on a residential site where
the electric current is supplied by the public network, with a low voltage
power supply. There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility on these sites, because of the interferences, as well as radio
frequencies. This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 if the power supply
network’s impedance at the electrical installation’s connection point is
inferior to the network’s maximum admissible impendance Zmax = 0.186 Ohms.
This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard.
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCES
The electric currents flowing through a conductor cause electrical and
magnetic fields (EMF). The welding current generates an EMF field around the
welding circuit and the welding equipment.
The EMF fields may disrupt some medical implants, such as pacemakers. Protection measures should be taken for people wearing medical implants. For example, access restrictions for passers-by or an individual risk evaluation for the welders. All welders should take the following precautions in order to minimise exposure to the electromagnetic fields (EMF) generated by the welding circuit::
- position the welding cables together – if possible, attach them;
- keep your head and torso as far as possible from the welding circuit;
- never enroll the cables around your body;
- never position your body between the welding cables. Hold both welding cables on the same side of your body;
- connect the earth clamp as close as possible to the area being welded;
- do not work too close to, do not lean and do not sit on the welding machine
- do not weld when you’re carrying the welding machine or its wire feeder.
People wearing pacemakers are advised to consult their doctor before using this device. Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects which are not yet known.
RECOMMENDATIONS TO ASSESS THE AREA AND WELDING INSTALLATION
Overview
The user is responsible for installing and using the arc welding equipment in
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions. If electromagnetic
disturbances are detected, it is the responsibility of the user of the arc
welding equipment to resolve the situation with the manufacturer’s technical
assistance. In some cases, this remedial action may be as simple as earthing
the welding circuit. In other cases, it may be necessary to construct an
electromagnetic shield around the welding power source and around the entire
piece by fitting input filters. In all cases, electromagnetic interferences
must be reduced until they are no longer bothersome.
Welding area assessment
Before installing the machine, the user must evaluate the possible
electromagnetic problems that may arise in the area where the installation is
planned. In particular, it should consider the following:
- the presence of other power cables (power supply cables, telephone cables, command cable, etc…)above, below and on the sides of the arc welding machine.
- television transmitters and receivers ;
- computers and other hardware;
- critical safety equipment such as industrial machine protections;
- the health and safety of the people in the area such as people with pacemakers or hearing aids;
- calibration and measuring equipment
- The isolation of the equipment from other machinery. The user will have to make sure that the devices and equipments that are in the same room are compatible with each other. This may require extra precautions;
- make sure of the exact hour when the welding and/or other operations will take place.
The surface of the area to be considered around the device depends on the building’s structure and other activities that take place there. The area taken in consideration can be larger than the limits determined by the companies.
Welding area assessment
Besides the welding area, the assessment of the arc welding systems
installation itself can be used to identify and resolve cases of disturbances.
The assessment of emissions must include in situ measurements as specified in
Article 10 of CISPR 11: 2009. In situ measurements can also be used to confirm
the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
RECOMMENDATION ON METHODS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS REDUCTION
- National power grid : The arc welding machine must be connected to the national power grid in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendation. If interferences occur, it may be necessary to take additional preventive measures such as the filtering of the power suplly network. Consideration should be given to shielding the power supply cable in a metal conduit. It is necessary to ensure the shielding’s electrical continuity along the cable’s entire length. The shielding should be connected to the welding current’s source to ensure good electrical contact between the conduct and the casing of the welding current source..
- Maintenance of the arc welding equipment: The arc welding machine should be be submitted to a routine maintenance check according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. All accesses, service doors and covers should be closed and properly locked when the arc welding equipment is on.. The arc welding equipment must not be modified in any way, except for the changes and settings outlined in the manufacturer’s instructions. The spark gap of the arc start and arc stabilization devices must be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer’s recommendations.
- Welding cables : Cables must be as short as possible, close to each other and close to the ground, if not on the ground.
- Electrical bonding : consideration shoud be given to bonding all metal objects in the surrounding area. However, metal objects connected to the workpiece increase the riskof electric shock if the operator touches both these metal elements and the electrode. It is necessary to insulate the operator from such metal objects.
- Earthing of the welded part : When the part is not earthed – due to electrical safety reasons or because of its size and its location (which is the case with ship hulls or metallic building structures), the earthing of the part can, in some cases but not systematically, reduce emissions It is preferable to avoid the earthing of parts that could increase the risk of injury to the users or damage other electrical equipment. If necessary, it is appropriate that the earthing of the part is done directly, but in some countries that do not allow such a direct connection, it is appropriate that the connection is made with a capacitor selected according to national regulations.
- Protection and plating : The selective protection and plating of other cables and devices in the area can reduce perturbation issues. The protection of the entire welding area can be considered for specific situations.
TRANSPORT AND TRANSIT OF THE WELDING MACHINE
The machine is fitted with handle(s) to facilitate transportation. Be
careful not to underestimate the machine’s weight. The handle(s) cannot be
used for slinging. Do not use the cables or torch to move the machine. The
welding equipment must be moved in an upright position. Do not place/carry the
unit over people or objects. Never lift the machine while there is a gas
cylinder on the support shelf. A clear path is available when moving the item.
The removal of the wire reel from the machine is recommended before
undertaking any lifting operation. Stray welding currents/voltages may destroy
earth conductors, damage electrical equipment or cause components to warm up
which may cause a fire.
- All welding connections must be firmly secured, check regularly !
- Check that the metal piece fixation is strong and without any electrical problems !
- Attach or hang all the electrically conductive elements, such as the trolley and slinging equipment, in order to insulate them
- Do not place any electrical equipment, such as drills or grinders, on top of the welding machine without insulating them !
- Always place welding torches or electrodes holders on an insulated surface when they’re not in use !
EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
- Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
- Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.

SEMI-AUTOMATIC STEEL / STAINLESS STEEL WELDING (MAG)
The device is suitable for welding 0.6/0.8/1.0 steel wire and 0.8/1.0
stainless steel wire. The device is delivered with contact tip, liner and a
torch set up for 0.8 steel or stainless steel wire. For welding 0.6 wire use a
torch no longer than 3m. To change the contact tip (see fig II A). The roller
is reversible 0.8/1.0. The indication on the visible side of the roller is the
diameter in use. For a 0.6 wire use the 0.6 groove. Welding Steel or Stainless
Steel requires using a specific gas mix – Argon + CO2 (Ar + CO2). The
proportion of CO2 will vary depending on application. The gas flow for steel
welding is between 8 and 12 L/min depending on the environment and experience
of the welder. For specific requirements seek advice from your gas
distributor. For polarity see page 4.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC ALUMINIUM WELDING (MIG)
This welding machine is suitable for welding 0.8 and 1mm aluminium wires . To
weld aluminium, neutral gas “Pure Argon” (AR) is required. For choosing gas,
ask a gas distributor for advice. The gas flow for welding aluminium is
between 15 and 25 L/min depending on the environment and experience of the
welder. Machine set-up for aluminium welding:
- Use specific rollers for Aluminium
- Set the pressure on the rollers to the minimum to avoid pinching the wire.
- Remove the capillary tube before connecting the aluminium torch with a teflon liner.
- When welding aluminium use a special aluminium torch with Teflon liner to reduce friction. Do not cut the liner near the connector!It is used to guide the wire from the rollers. (Fig II B)
- Contact Tip: Use a SPECIAL aluminium contact tip corresponding to the diameter of the wire. For polarity see page 4.
“NO GAS” WELDING
To set up the machine for “No Gas” see the instructions on page 4. Welding
cored wire with a standard nozzle can overheating and damage the torch. Use a
nozzle special “No Gas” (ref. 041868) or remove the original nozzle (Fig III
D). For polarity see page 4.
PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING REELS AND TORCH ASSEMBLY
- Open the machine’s side door.
- Place the reel on the driving pin (fig A) of the reel support. For a 200mm wire reel tighten the reel to the maximum. The adaptor (1) is only to be used for a 200mm reel.
- Adjust the reel brake (2) to avoid the reel inertia tangling the wire when welding stops. In general, do not over-tighten! Then screw in the reel support (3).
- Fit the roller(s) suitable for your application. The rollers supplied are double grooved rollers (0.8/1.0). The indication on the visible
side of the roller is the diameter in use. For a 0.8 wire, use the 0.8 groove. For Aluminium or cored wire welding use the appropriate rollers
To adjust the roller tension (fig C), process is as follows: loosen the tensioner to the maximum (4), start the motor by pressing the torch trigger, tighten the tensioner whilst pressing the trigger. Bend the wire where it comes out of the nozzle and hold it in place to stop its progress. The pressure adjustment is ideal when the guide roller slides over the wire even when it is blocked at the end of the torch.
NB: for aluminium wire set the tension to the minimum not to pinch the wire.
Adjust the wire so 5cm protrudes from the torch then fit the contact tip (correct tip for the wire) (fig D) and the nozzle (fig E).
GAS CONNECTION
The device is designed with a quick release gas connection. Use the adaptor
supplied with the machine
MMA
ELECTRODE WELDING
- The reverse polarity cable must be disconnected in MMA (stick welding) mode in order to connect the electrode holder and earth clamp. Connect the electrode holder and earth clamp as indicated on the electrode packaging.
- Respect the basic rules of welding
- This device has 3 features specific to Inverter machines :
- Hot Start : Increases the current to assist the initial striking of the arc.
- Arc Force : A ponctual increase of current avoiding the electrode to be stuck in the welding pool.
- Anti-Sticking : Enables easy removal of the electrode from the metal.
TIPS :
Low Hot Start for thin metal sheet and high Hot Start for more difficult metal
to weld (dirty metal or oxidised).
TIG EASY (VALVE TORCH)
TIG LIFT WELDING
DC TIG welding requires the use of gas (Argon). Connecting a valve torch will
allow to manually adjust the supply of gas and connecting a EURO torch will
also offer capability to adjust downslope and post gas settings. For TIG
welding please follow the stages below :

• Connect the gas hose to the back of the machine and to the gas bottle regulator.
• Adjust the gas flow on the gas bottle regulator.
• To strike an arc touch the piece of metal to weld and press the torch trigger.
• Downslope and Post-gas start automatically once the trigger is released. They can be adjusted on the device.
| • See connection page 4.
• Connect the gas hose from the torch to the gas bottle regulator.
• Adjust the gas flow on the gas bottle regulator and then open the torch valve.
• Striking :
Touch the piece of metal to weld with the electrode
• At the end of the weld :
Lift the electrode to between 2 to 5 mm from the metal.
Only stop the gas once the Tungsten electrode has cooled down.
Adjustable Downslope (Euro torch only)
Time needed to shift from welding current to minimum current. Avoids cracks
and craters at the end of welding. By default this feature is set up at 0 sec.
Adjustable Post-Gas (Euro torch only)
This parameter determines the time in which gas is released after the arc has
stopped. It protects the weld pool and the electrode against oxidisation
whilst the metal is cooling after welding.
