Proper Handling
The HELIX M45 weld head is only meant to be picked
up and supported by the handles. Only attempt to
attach the weld head to the track ring while the clamp
mechanism and clutch are disengaged.
Do not hang persons or objects from the handles of
the weld head while operating.
Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do not
place on wet ground or in puddles.
Always place the weld head on a steady, flat level sur-
face when not in use or not clamped onto a track ring.
Always be sure to engage the clutch when the weld
head is left on the track.
Do not force the torch motion assembly in or out man-
ually. Manually adjusting the torch in this manner can
cause undue wear and tear on the gear and motors.
After welding allow adequate time for the weld head
to cool before moving, making adjustments or putting
into storage.

Operation
Read entire manual before operation.
Only operate the HELIX M45 weld head while it is
firmly attached to the track ring with the clutch
engaged. Always verify that the track is properly
attached to the work surface before operating.
Keep hands away from weld head while in operation.
Verify that the system cable assembly is free from
obstruction before operating. While welding, the weld
head will rotate around the pipe. Be certain that there
is plenty of play in weld cable. If the cable binds up
during welding, parts of the weld cable or the weld
head assembly may become damaged.
Never unplug or plug in control cables to the weld
head while the system is powered on.
Verify that the system is properly grounded before
beginning to weld.
