These operating instructions have been

written to make it easier for you, the

user, to learn how to operate the

machine and to do so safely. These

instructions should be used as follows:

− Read these instructions completely

before use. Pay special attention to

the safety information.

− These instructions are intended for

skilled arc welders or other special-

ists of similar qualification.

− Keep all documents supplied with

this machine for future reference.

Retain proof of purchase in case of

a possible warranty claim.

− This machine must not be hired out

or sold without being accompanied

by these operating instructions and

all other documents supplied with

the machine.

− The manufacturer assumes no liabil-

ity for any damage caused by non-

observance of these operating

instructions.

The information in these instructions is

marked as follows:

Danger!

Warning of personal

injury or environmental

damage.

Risk of electric shock!

Risk of personal injury

by electric shock.

Caution!

Risk of material damage

Note:

Additional information.

− At times numbers are used in illus-

trations (1, 2, 3, ...). These numbers:

− indicate component parts;

− are consecutively numbered;

− correspond with the number(s) in

brackets (1), (2), (3) ... in the

neighbouring text.

− Numbered steps must be carried out

in sequence.

− Instructions which can be carried

out in any order are indicated by a

bullet point (•).

− Listing are indicated by a dash (–).

All legal regulations pertaining to the

operation of electric arc welding

machines must be observed.

The following information should be

observed as well for a safe and risk-free

handling of the welding machine!

Danger! High voltage!!

Connect machine only to a properly

earthed outlet.

If in doubt check with a qualified electri-

cian!

Danger! High voltage!!

Service and repairs to the machine must

only be made by qualified electricians.

Disconnect from mains supply before

opening the machine's housing.

Danger!

Wear sufficient protective clothing when

welding.

Always use a welding visor or helmet

and welder's gloves.

They provide protection against sparks

and arc radiation.

Danger!

Take extra precautions when welding in

special hazard areas such as confined

spaces, areas with a fire or explosion

hazard, containers with dangerous con-

tents, or areas with an increased electri-

cal hazard.

Danger!

All metal fumes are detrimental to

health!

When working indoors ensure sufficient

ventilation and extraction, in order to not

exceed the maximum permissible work-

place pollutant concentration.

Fumes of lead, cadmium, copper, zinc

and beryllium are particularly harmful!

Caution!

Never weld earthed metal.

This will prevent possible damage to the

protective earth conductors by stray

welding currents.

Caution!

Never use the welding machine for thaw-

ing pipes.

Always attach the welding return cable

directly to the workpiece, and as close

as possible to the welding spot.

Caution!

Special care is required when working

near computers, electronically controlled

equipment or in the proximity of mag-

netic data media (sound recording

tapes, floppy disks, data recording

tapes, credit cards, etc.).

The arc start can cause misfunction of

this type of equipment or data loss.

2.1 Specified Conditions of

Use

The welding machine is a direct current

power source with integrated wire feed;

it works with a constant-voltage charac-

teristic curve.

The welding machine is designed for

welding ferrous metals, alloy steels, non-

ferrous metals and aluminium.

It conforms to all relevant regulations

applicable at the time of delivery.

This welding machine is intended for

operation by professional arc welders or

specialists with similar qualifications.

Permissible welding processes:

− MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding

for aluminium and aluminium alloys

− MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding

for steel or stainless steel
