obligations will become void! The manufacturer's warranty obligations are also void if
the mains phase is incorrectly connected to source earth.
The mains connector, the cross-sections of the power supply cables, as well as the mains
fuses must be selected according to the technical data of the unit.
2.4 CONNECTING THE POWER PLUG
WARNING! The mains plug must be suitable for the supply voltage and current
consumption of the welding machine (see technical data). For safety reasons, use power
sockets with a guaranteed ground connection and never use the neutral wire of the mains
for this purpose!
WARNING! For StandardMIG-160/200/250 models, the mains switch (14) is a signal button
that blocks only the power current of the welding machine, but does not completely
disconnect the internal electronics of the machine. Therefore, as a safety precaution,
remember to unplug completely when connecting.
3. MANUAL ARC WELDING WITH A STICK ELECTRODE (MMA)
ATTENTION! Due to unblocked connectors of the welding current connection (device
connection) or dirt on the workpiece connection (paint, corrosion), the connection areas
and wires can get hot and you can get burned if you touch them!
Daily check the welding current connections and, if necessary, lock them by turning them
clockwise.
Thoroughly clean the workpiece connection area and attach properly! Do not use the
workpiece structure parts as the welding current return line!
