Safety Guidelines These general safety guides cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting machines unless otherwise noted. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for. Using it in any other way could result in damage or injury and in breach of the safety rules. Only suitably trained and competent persons should use the equipment.

Wear suitable protective flame resistant clothing. The sparks and spatter from welding, hot work pieces, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause arcs, explosion, overheating, or fire.

LF Declaration Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements. Due to the elevated absorbency of the primary current from the power supply network, high power systems affect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connection restrictions or maximum impedance requirements permitted by the network at the public network connection point must be applied to these systems.

This operating manual contains important information on the use, maintenance and safety of your Newarc product. Please read the manual carefully before using the equipment for the first time. For your own safety and that of your working environment, pay particular attention to the safety instructions in the manual.
1.2 Introduction The R4000 and R5000 are advanced inverter power sources with outputs of 400 amps and 500 amps respectively. The CC/CV versions are suitable for MMA, TIG and MIG/MAG welding. These inverter power sources are versatile, lightweight and portable. The advanced inverter design provides a more stable and precise arc characteristic than conventional machines ensuring high quality welding performance.

5. Slope control Operates in MIG mode only. This control alters the output voltage(V) to output current(I) relationship. This control is sometimes know as ‘ A rc Control’ or ‘ A rc Pinch Control’ as it regulates the pinch effect of the welding arc. 6.
2. Installation Unpacking Check the packaging for any signs of damage. Carefully remove the machine and retain the packaging until the installation is complete. Positioning of the machine Place the machine on a firm, dry and level surface. Where possible, do not allow dust or other impurities to enter the machines cooling air flow.
3. Operation Front panel operation This design is based on microprocessor technology and allows to implement set of functions previously not available in Newarc inverters: • Encoder based function control - digital settings • Hot start control • Operation time control •...
