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 :
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 .
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.
For the United States and Canada, refer to the standard CAN/CSA-W117.2
concerning the protection against personal dangers for operators or persons
working in close proximity of the welding machine (electric shock, fumes, gas
, arc radiation, hot metal, sparks and noise).
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 (T1 GYS AUTO & T3 GYS AUTO) complies with IEC 61000-3-12,
provided that the power of the short-circuit Ssc is equal to or greater than
1.4 MVA at the interface between the machine and the mains power network. It
is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure if
necessary by consulting the operator of the mains electricity, that the
equipment is only connected to a power supply where the power of short-circuit
ssc is equal to or greater than 1.4 MVA.
This equipment (M1 GYS AUTO & M3 GYS AUTO) does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12
and is intended to be connected to private low-voltage systems interfacing
with the public supply only at the medium- or high-voltage level. On a public
low voltage power grid, it is the responsibility of the installer or user of
the device to ensure, by checking with the operator of the distribution
network, which device can be connected.
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 enrol 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.
RECOMMANDATIONS TO ASSES 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:
a) 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.
b) television transmitters and receivers ;
c) computers and other hardware;
d) critical safety equipment such as industrial machine protections;
e) the health and safety of the people in the area such as people with
pacemakers or hearing aids;
f) calibration and measuring equipment
g)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; h) 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 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 intallation 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. In situ measurements can also be used
to confirm the effectiveness of mitigation measures.
RECOMMENDATION ON METHODS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS REDUCTION
- a. 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 supply 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..
- b. 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.
- c. Welding cables : Cables must be as short as possible, close to each other and close to the ground, if not on the ground.
- d. Electrical bonding : consideration should be given to bonding all metal objects in the surrounding area. However, metal objects connected to the workpiece increase the risk of electric shock if the operator touches both these metal elements and the electrode. It is necessary to insulate the operator from such metal objects.
- e. 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.
- f. 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
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

SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR STEEL/STAINLESS STEEL (MAG MODE)(FIG III)
These welding can weld 0.6/0.8 and 1.0 mm steel and stainless steel wires (fig III-A). The device is capable of working with Ø 0.8 mm steel wire (contact tube Ø 0.8, roller Ø 0.6/0.8 and Ø 0.8/1.0 mm). If you need to use Ø 0.6mm wire, you will have to change the contact tube, and ensure that the reversible rollers in the wire feeder are positioned correctly (so that the writing that states “0.6mm” is visible when in place). For Steel or Stainless Steel, you will need to use specific gas – Argon + CO2 (Ar + CO2). The proportion of CO2 will vary depending on usage. The gas flow in steel is between 8 and 12L / min depending on the environment and experience of the welder. For the specific requirements, seek advice from your gas distributor.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR ALUMINIUM (FIG III)
These welding can weld 0.8 and 1mm aluminium wires (fig III-B). To weld aluminium, neutral gas “pure argon” (AR) is required. When choosing gas, ask a gas distributor for advice. The gas flow in aluminium should be between 15 and 25 L / min depending on the environment and experience of the welder. Things to note when welding with Aluminium: – Pressing rollers: use special motorcycle press rollers for aluminium to avoid deforming the wire cross- section. – Set the pressure rollers of the wire feeder on the wire at the minimum pressure so as not to pinch the wire – When welding aluminium use a special aluminium torch with Teflon sheath to reduce friction.It is used to guide the wire from the rollers. (diagram III-B ) – If using a specific aluminium torch is not an option, replace the metal the liner in the steel torch by a Teflon sheath. – Wire guide tube in the wire feeder connector : remove the tube before connecting the aluminium torch with Teflon liner. – DO NOT cut the sheath near the edge of the connector !! This sheath guides the wire from the rollers (fig III-B). – Contact Tip of the torch : Use the specific Aluminium contact tip corresponding to the diameter of the wire.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC BRAZING WELDING FOR HIGH-TENSILE STRENGTH STEELS
These welding are recommended by car manufacturers to braze-weld high-tensile strength plates with a cuprosilicium CusI3 wire or cuproaluminium CuAl8 wire (Ø 0.8 mm and Ø 1 mm). The welder must use a neutral gas: pure argon (Ar). For specific gas requirements, seek advice from your gas distributor. The gas flow required s between 15 and 25 L / min.
GAS CONNECTION (FIG II)
Connect the manometer (flowmeter) to the gas bottle (manometer not supplied with the product).For use with one or two bottles of gas. To connect two bottles of gas to three torches, split the pipe into 3 pieces and attach a 3-way “Y” connector. (fig II-C ) To link a single bottle of gas with 3 torches, cut the pipe into 4 pieces and attach two 3-way “Y” connectors. Connect each bottle to the solenoid valves in the following order: -T1 GYS AUTO solenoid valve to the top left (fig II-B:12) -Spool gun solenoid to the top right (fig II-B:16) -T3 GYS AUTO solenoid valve to the bottom (fig II-B:14) To avoid any gas leaks, always use the collars supplied with the product.
PROCESS OF REELS AND TORCHES ASSEMBLY (FIG 4)
Open the device trapdoor.
– Place the reel on the driving pin (fig IV-2) of the reel support.
– Adjust the reel brake (fig IV-3) to avoid the reel inertia tangling the wire
when welding stops. In general, do not tighten too much!
– The electrical roller (fig IV-4) is a double groove roller (0,6/ 0,8 and
0,8/1). 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 the first use:
– Release the fixing screw of the wire guide.
To set the adjusting knob of the pressing rollers (fig IV-5), proceed as follow: loosen the knob fully, start the motor by pressing the torch trigger, tighten the adjustment knob whilst pressing the trigger. Bend the wire where it comes out of the nozzle and hold it in place to stop its progress. The setting is correct when the guide roller slides over the wire even when it is blocked at the end of the torch. A common adjustment is the rollers command (fig IV-5) on the scale 3 for steel and 2 for aluminium. Nb: for the aluminium wire put a minimum pressure in order not to crush the wire.
CHOICE OF REELS
Possible settings :
«MANUAL» MODE (FIG V)
- welding mode choice : – Normal (2T) : standard two-stage welding – Delay: intermittent welding modes for an optimised operating procedure. – Spot: spot-welding with adjustable spot diameter
- Wire speed settings : wire speed fitting potentiometer. The speed varies from 1 to 15L/minute.
- Spot/delay potentiometer fitting
- Manual mode : In manual mode, the wire speed is determinate by the user by adjusting the potentiometer (2).
- Synergic mode: position the potentiometer (2) in the middle of the «optimal synergic» zone. In this mode, the device determines the optimal wire speed according to 3 parameters : – Voltage – Wire diameter (5a) – The power mode (5b). It’s possible to adjust the wire speed +/-. In position Normal(2T), 2 modes are proposed to ease the settings of the device: Manual or Synergic.
- thermal protection light : informs when a short break is necessary following intensive use.
«MANUAL» MODE (FIG V)
To set your device, proceed as follow:
– Choose the welding voltage using the 7 positions switch Example: position 1 for 0,6 mm metal sheets and position 7 for 4 mm metal sheets.
– Adjust the wire speed with the potentiometer(2).
Advice: The wire speed adjustment is often determinate « with the noise »: the arc must be stable and have a low crackling. If the speed is too low, the arc is not continuous. If the speed is too high, the arc crackles and the wire pushes back the torch.
«SYNERGIC» MODE (FIG V)
This function will set the wire speed automatically.
For this: Position the wire speed potentiometer (2) in the middle of the«
Optimal synergic » zone. -Select: -The wire type (5b) -The wire diameter (5a)
The power mode (7 position switch), to select the right position in accordance
with the thickness of the part to weld, please refer to the table (fig VI)
From this combination, they determines the optimal wire speed and the device
is ready to weld. It is also possible to adjust the wire speed if necessary by
adjusting potentiometer (2) + or manually. A memory of the last welding
configuration is done (wire diameter, wire type, mode).
GAS choice (only for steel welding) : In synergic mode, it’s determines the
welding settings in accordance with the gas used. By default, in steel welding
the machine is set in « Argon + CO2 ». To change the gas and set the machine
in C02 mode or come back in Argon + CO2 mode, process as explained:
1-Press « Type » for 5 seconds until the keyboard switches off the release.
2-Within 5 seconds, choose the required setting with the key « choose mode ».
-Normal (2T) => Argon + CO2 (default setting) -Delay => CO2 100%
3-The confirmation is done either by the « Type » key, or by waiting for 5
seconds. 4-Once confirmed, the machine reverts to the normal functioning mode
but the modification is registered even when the machines is switched off.
SPOT MODE (FIG V) This function allows spot welding. To adjust the length of each spot, use the potentiometer (3).
DELAY MODE (FIG V) Allows intermittent welding, the delay can be adjusted through the potentiometer (3). This function allows welding very thin steel or aluminium metal sheet, limiting the risk of piercing and distortion (especially for aluminium welding).
SPOOL GUN (OPTION) Spool gun description and functioning – The spool on
gun torch must be installed on the torch T1 GYS AUTO connector. – The spool on
gun works either in « Manual » mode or either in « Synergic » mode. – In «
