• Be aware that a fire risk is present for a considerable time after welding operations have ceased because of sparks and hot slag etc. Take suitable precautions • Do not try to directly connect a gas cylinder to Newarc when you have finished welding. equipment without using a pressure-reducing regulator designed for use with argon.
Due to the high efficiency and power factor these units provide energy and cost sav- ing solutions. The R4000CV/R5000CV is capable of MIG welding when used with a peripheral wire feed unit.

SECTION 4 — OPERATION 4.1 Description of controls 1. Output Demand Control - Adjusts the machines output Voltage. 2. Digital Display - Indicates welding current in Amps, welding voltage in Volts. The display also gives an indication when the machine is over tempera- ture (-OT -) , or the optional cooling unit is turned off (-CU-).
Digital display lit but no output. Make sure that the display is not reading ‘OT’, if it is, it means that the R4000/R5000 has over- • heated, normally by exceeding its ’Duty Cycle’, and the power stages of the machine have been shut down.
Note! All Electric shocks are potentially fatal, switch off the machine and unplug from the mains supply before carrying out any maintenance work. It is very important that the R4000/R5000 is regularly maintained. The amount of use and the working environment must be taken into account when scheduling the maintenance periods.
