  • Page 3 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.
  • Page 4 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.
  • Page 5 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.

    1.4 Overview of Machine SECTION 4 — OPERATION 4.1 Description of controls Front View Mode Indication - LEDs to display welding mode (MIG 400 power source only the MIG LED will function). Panel layout 1. Mode Indication 2. Rotary encoder - Adjusts the machines functional parameters and user settings, as well as output current in CC mode or Voltage in CV mode (when not controlled remotely).
  • Page 11 5. Inductance control Operates in MIG mode only. This control alters the response time of the power source and is generally used in short circuit dip transfer welding. Too little inductance will result in excessive spatter and too much inductance will not allow the welding current to rise fast enough causing the electrode to stub into the base metal.

    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.

    5. Maintenance 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 Wire feed unit is regularly maintained. The amount of use and the working environment must be taken into account when scheduling the maintenance periods.
