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 These heavy duty MMA D.C inverter power sources have been designed using the latest developments in power electronics. Electronic parts are enclosed in a separate sealed compartment for protection from the environment. This portable, versatile inverter power source responds to changes in the welding arc much faster than conventional machines resulting in a more stable and controllable weld pool.

SECTION 4 — OPERATION 1.4 Overview of Machine 4.1 - Operating Controls and Connections 1. Mode Indication - LEDs to display welding mode. 2. Digital Display - Indicates welding current in Amps, welding voltage in Volts. The display also gives an indication when the machine is over temperature (- Front View OT -) , or the optional cooling unit is turned off (-CU-).

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 SECTION 3 — INSTALLATION 3.1 Siting the R4000/R5000 Unpacking Primary cable length Check the packaging for any signs of damage. Carefully remove the machine and retain the packaging Site the R4000/R5000 on a clean dry sur- • Long cable lengths may reduce the perform- until the installation is complete.
• Adjust the current control on the remote to the recommended setting for the type and size of welding electrode being used. (The standard Newarc RC300 remote does not have current settings but is marked 1 to 10, for the R4000 allow 40A per division and for the R5000 allow 50A per division).
6.3A ‘slow blow’ Any welding problems not covered above must be brought to the attention of a qualified Welding Engineer, if the problem still persists have the R4000/R5000 checked by a trained Newarc service engineer.

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 R4000/R5000 is regularly maintained. The amount of use and the working environment must be taken into account when scheduling the maintenance periods.
