installation or operating procedures, be sure to read and follow the safety precautions listed below as
well as all other manuals, material safety data sheets, labels, etc. Failure to observe Safety
Precautions can result in injury or death.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS
Some welding, cutting and gouging precesses are noisy and require ear
protection. The arc, like the sun, emits ultraviolet (UV) and other radiation
and can injure skin and eyes. Hot metal can cause burns. Training in the
proper use of the processes and equipment is essential to prevent accidents.
Therefore:
1. Always wear safety glasses with side shields in any work area, even if welding helmets face
shields and goggles are also required.
2. Use a face shield fitted with the correct filter and cover plates to protect your eyes, face, neck
and ears from sparks and rays of the arc when operating or observing operations. Warn
bystanders not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the rays of the electric-arc or
hot metal.
3. Wear flameproof gauntlet type gloves, heavy long-sleeve shirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped
shoes and a welding helmet or cap for protection, to protect against arc rays and hot sparks or
hot metal. A flameproof apron may also be desirable as protection against radiated heat and
sparks.

4. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars
should be kept buttoned and open pockets eliminated from the front of clothing.
5. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable nonflammable partition or
curtains.
6. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and
can fly far. Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
FIRES AND EXPLOSIONS
Heat from flames and arcs can start fires. Hot slag or sparks can also cause
fires and explosions. Therefore:
1. Remove all combustible materials well away from the work area or cover the materials with a
protective nonflammable covering. Combusible materials include wood, clot, sawdust, liquid and
gas fuels, solvents, pants and coatings papper, etc.
2. Hot sparks or hot metal can fall through cracks or crevices in floors or wall openings and cause a
hidden smoldering fire or fires on the floor below. Make certain that such openings are protected
from hot sparks and metal.
3. Do not weld, cut or perform other hot work until the workpiece has been completely cleaned so
that there are no substances on the workpiece which might produce flammable or toxic vapors.
Do not do hot work on closed containers. They may explode.
4. Have fire extinguishing equipment handy for instant use, such as a garden hose, water pail, sand
bucket, or portable fire extinguisher. Be sure you are trained in its use.
5. Do not use equipment beyond its ratings. For example, overloaded welding cable can overheat
and create a fire hazard.
6. After completing operations, inspect the work area to make certain there are no hot sparks or hot
metal which could cause a later fire. Use fire watchers when necessary.
7. For additional information refer to NFPA Standard 51B, “Fire Prevention in Use of Cutting and
Welding Processes”, available from the National Fire Protection Association, Batterymarch Park,
Quincy, MA 02269.
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Contact with live electrical parts and ground can cause severe injury or
death. DO NOT use AC welding current in damp areas, if movement is
confined, or if there is danger of falling. Therefore:
1. Be sure the power source frame (chassis) is connected to the ground system of the input power.
2. Connect the workpiece to a good electrical ground.
3. Connect the work cable to the workpiece. A poor or missing connection can expose you or others
to a fatal shock.

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS
May be dangerous. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes
localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and cutting current
creates EMF around welding cables and welding machines.
Therefore:
1. Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding. EMF may interfere
with some pacemakers.
2. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
3. Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to EMF:
a. Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure them with tape when possible.
b. Never coil the torch or work cable around your body.
c. Do not place your body between the torch and work cables. Route cables on the same side
of your body.
d. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
e. Keep welding power source and cables as far away from your body as possible.
FUMES AND GASES
Fumes and gases, can cause discomfort or harm, particularly in confined
spaces. Do not breathe fumes and gases. Shielding gases can cause
asphyxiation.
Therfore:
1. Always provide adequate ventilation in the work area by natural or mechanical means. Do not
weld, cut or gouge on materials such as galvanized steel, stainless steel, cooper, zinc, lead
beryllium or cadmium unless positive mechanical ventilation is provided. Do not breathe fumes
from these materials.
2. Do not operate near degreasing and spraying operations. The heat or arc can react with
chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas and other irritant gases.
3. If you develop momentary eye, nose or throat irritation while operating, this is an indication that
ventilation is not adequate. Stop work and take necessary steps to improve ventilation in the work
area. Do not continue to operate if physical discomfort persists.
4. Refer to ANSI/ASC Standard Z49.1 (see listing below) for specific ventilation recommendations.
5. WARNING: This product when used for welding or cutting, produces fumes or gases which
contain chemicals known to the State of Californa to cause birth defects and in some cases
cancer (California Health & Safety Code §25249.5 et seq.)
CYLINDER HANDLING
Cylinders, if mishandled, can rupture and violently release gas. Sudden
rupture of cylinder valve or relief device can injure or kill.
Therefore:
1. Use the proper gas for the process and use the proper pressure reducing regulator designed to
operate from the compressed gas cylinder. Do not use adaptors. Maintain hoses and fittings in
good condition. Follow manufacturer's operating instructions for mounting regulator to a
compressed gas cylinder.
2. Always secure cylinders in an upright position by chain or strap to suitable hand trucks,
undercarriages, benches, wall, post or racks. Never secure cylinders to work tables or fixtures
where they may become part of an electrical circuit.
3. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have valve protection cap in place if regulator is
not connected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand trucks.
4. Locate cylinders away from heat, sparks and flames. Never strike an arc on a cylinder.
5. For additional information, refer to CGA Standard P-1, “Precations for Safe Handling of

4 MESURES DE SECURITE - French
ATTENTION : ces règles de sécurité ont pour objet d'assurer votre protection. Elles constituent
une synthèse des mesures de sécurité contenues dans les ouvrages de référence repris au chapitre
Informations complémentaires relatives à la Sécurité. Avant toute installation ou utilisation du matériel,
veillez à lire et à respecter les règles de sécurité énoncées ci-dessous ainsi que dans les divers
manuels, fiches de sécurité du matériel, étiquettes, etc. Le non-respect de ces précautions risque
d'entraîner des blessures graves ou mortelles.
PROTECTION INDIVIDUELLE ET DE L'ENTOURAGE
Certains procédés de soudage, découpage et gougeage sont bruyants et
requièrent le port de protections auditives. L'arc, tout comme le soleil, émet
des ultraviolets (UV) et d'autres rayonnements susceptibles de provoquer des
lésions oculaires et dermatologiques. Le métal chaud peut être à l'origine de
brûlures. Une formation à l'utilisation correcte des procédés et équipements
est essentielle pour prévenir les accidents. En conséquence :
1. Porter impérativement des lunettes avec écrans latéraux dans les zones de travail, même
lorsque le port du casque de soudage, de l'écran facial et des lunettes de protection est
obligatoire
2. Tant pour exécuter les travaux que pour y assister, porter un écran facial muni de plaques
protectrices et de verres filtrants appropriés pour protéger les yeux, le visage, le cou et les
oreilles des étincelles et du rayonnement de l'arc. Avertir les personnes se trouvant à proximité
qu'elles ne doivent pas regarder l'arc, ni s'exposer à son rayonnement ou à celui du métal
incandescent.
3. Porter des gants ignifuges à crispins, une tunique épaisse à longues manches, des pantalons
sans rebord, des chaussures à embout d'acier et un casque de soudage ou une casquette pour
se protéger du rayonnement de l'arc, des étincelles et du métal incandescent. Le port d'un tablier
ininflammable est également recommandé afin de se protéger des étincelles et du rayonnement
thermique.
4. Les étincelles ou projections de métal en fusion risquent de se loger dans les manches
retroussées, les bords relevés de pantalons ou dans les poches. Il convient donc de boutonner
complètement les manches et le col, et de porter des vêtements sans poches à l'avant.
5. Protéger du rayonnement de l'arc et des étincelles les personnes se trouvant à proximité à l'aide
d'un écran ou d'un rideau ininflammable approprié.
6. Porter des oculaires et des lunettes de protection pendant le meulage du laitier. Les particules
meulées, souvent brûlantes, peuvent être projetées à des distances importantes, de sorte que
les personnes se trouvant à proximité doivent également porter des lunettes de protection.
INCENDIES ET EXPLOSIONS
La chaleur dégagée par les flammes et les arcs peuvent être à l'origine
d'incendies. Le laitier incandescent et les étincelles peuvent également
provoquer incendies et explosions. En conséquence :
1. Éloigner suffisamment tous les matériaux combustibles de la zone de travail ou les recouvrir
complètement d'une bâche ignifuge. Ce type de matériaux comprend le bois, les vêtements, la
sciure, les carburants sous forme liquide et gazeuse, les peintures, les enduits, le papier, etc.
2. Les étincelles ou projections de métal en fusion peuvent tomber dans les fissures du sol ou des
murs et déclencher une combustion lente dans les planchers ou à l'étage inférieur. Veiller à
protéger ces ouvertures pour que les étincelles et projections n'y pénètrent pas.
3. Ne pas procéder à des travaux de soudage, de découpage et autres travaux à chaud tant que la
surface n'est pas complètement nettoyée et débarrassée des substances susceptibles de
produire des vapeurs inflammables ou toxiques. Ne pas effectuer de travaux à chaud sur des
conteneurs fermés pour éviter tout risque d'explosion.
4. Conserver à portée de main un équipement d'extinction – tuyau d'arrosage, seau d'eau ou de
sable, extincteur portatif, etc. et s'assurer d'en connaître l'utilisation.
5. Ne pas utiliser l'équipement au-delà de ses spécifications. Par exemple, un câble de soudage
surchargé est susceptible de surchauffer et d'être à l'origine d'un incendie.
US

US warnings
6. Une fois le travail terminé, inspecter la zone de travail pour s'assurer qu'aucune étincelle ou
projection de métal ne risque de déclencher un incendie. Le cas échéant, utiliser des systèmes
de détection d'incendie.
7. Pour toute information supplémentaire, voir la norme NFPA 51B relative à la prévention des
incendies lors de travaux de découpage et de soudage, disponible auprès de la National Fire
Protection Association, Batterymarch Park, Quincy, MA 02269 – USA.
CHOC ELECTRIQUE
Tout contact avec des éléments sous tension et la masse peut provoquer des
blessures graves ou mortelles. NE PAS utiliser de courant de soudage CA
dans des zones humides, des lieux exigus ou lorsqu'il existe un risque de
chute. En conséquence :
1. Vérifier que le châssis du générateur est bien relié au dispositif de mise à la masse de
l'alimentation.
2. Assurer une mise à la masse correcte de la pièce à souder.
3. Connecter le câble de soudage à la pièce à souder. Un raccordement médiocre ou inexistant
constitue un risque mortel pour l'utilisateur et son entourage.
4. Utiliser du matériel correctement entretenu. Remplacer les câbles usés ou endommagés.
5. Empêcher l'apparition de toute humidité, notamment sur les vêtements, dans la zone de travail,
sur les câbles, la torche de soudage, le porte-électrode et le générateur.
6. S'assurer que le corps est totalement isolé de la pièce à souder et de la masse.
7. Éviter tout contact direct avec du métal ou la masse lors de travaux dans des endroits exigus et
en zone humide ; se tenir sur des panneaux ou sur une plate-forme isolante et porter des
chaussures à semelles en caoutchouc.
8. Enfiler des gants secs et sans trous avant de mettre l'équipement sous tension.
9. Mettre l'équipement hors tension avant de retirer les gants.
10. Voir la norme ANSI/ASC Z49.1 (voir page suivante) pour les recommandations de mise à la
masse. Ne pas confondre le câble de soudage et le câble de masse.
CHAMPS ELECTRIQUES ET MAGNETIQUES
Danger. Le courant électrique parcourant les conducteurs génère localement
des champs électriques et magnétiques (EMF). Le courant de soudage et de
découpe crée des EMF autour des câbles de soudage et des postes à souder.
En conséquence :
1. Les porteurs de stimulateurs cardiaques consulteront leur médecin avant d'effectuer des travaux
de soudage. Les EMF peuvent en effet provoquer des interférences.
2. L'exposition aux EMF peut également avoir des effets méconnus sur la santé.
3. Les soudeurs respecteront les procédures suivantes pour réduire l'exposition aux EMF :
a. Rassembler en faisceau les câbles de soudage et d'électrode. Si possible, les attacher avec
du ruban adhésif.
b. Ne jamais enrouler le câble de la torche ou le câble de soudage autour du corps.
c. L'utilisateur ne doit jamais se trouver entre le câble de la torche et le câble de soudage.
Faire passer tous les câbles du même côté du corps.
d. Connecter le câble de soudage à la pièce à souder, au plus près de l'endroit du soudage.
e. S'éloigner au maximum du générateur et des câbles.

FUMEES ET GAZ
L'inhalation des fumées et gaz peut provoquer des malaises et des
dommages corporels, surtout lors de travaux dans les espaces confinés. Ne
pas les respirer. Les gaz inertes peuvent causer l'asphyxie.
En conséquence :
1. Assurer une aération adéquate de la zone de travail par une ventilation naturelle ou mécanique.
Ne pas effectuer de travaux de soudage, découpage ou gougeage sur des matériaux tels que
l'acier galvanisé, le cuivre, le zinc, le plomb, le béryllium et le cadmium en l'absence d'une
ventilation mécanique adéquate. Ne pas inhaler les fumées dégagées par ces matériaux.
2. Ne pas travailler à proximité d'opérations de dégraissage et de pulvérisation étant donné que la
chaleur dégagée et l'arc peut réagir avec les hydrocarbures chlorés pour former du phosgène –
un gaz particulièrement toxique – et d'autres gaz irritants.
3. Une irritation momentanée des yeux, du nez ou de la gorge provoquée par les travaux est le
signe d'une ventilation inappropriée. Dans ce cas, il convient d'arrêter le travail et de prendre les
mesures nécessaires pour améliorer l'aération. Ne pas poursuivre le travail si le malaise persiste.
4. Voir la norme ANSI/ASC Z49.1 (voir ci-dessous) pour les recommandations de ventilation.
5. ATTENTION : utilisé dans des opérations de soudage et de découpage, ce produit dégage des
fumées et gaz qui contiennent des substances chimiques reconnues par l'État de Californie
comme pouvant être à l'origine de malformations congénitales et de cancers (California Health &
Safety Code §25249.5 et seq.).
MANIPULATION DES BOUTEILLES DE GAZ
Une erreur de manutention des bouteilles de gaz peut les endommager et
entraîner une libération violente du gaz. La rupture soudaine de la soupape
ou du détendeur peut provoquer des blessures graves ou mortelles.
En conséquence :
1. Utiliser le gaz approprié à la pression adéquate, celle-ci étant réglée par un détendeur adapté au
type de bouteille utilisée. Ne pas utiliser d'adaptateurs. Garder les tuyaux et accessoires en bon
état. Pour le montage du détendeur sur une bouteille de gaz comprimé, suivre les instructions du
fabricant.
2. Fixer les bouteilles verticalement – au moyen d'une chaîne ou d'une sangle – à un chariot à bras,
un châssis de roulement, un banc, un mur, un piquet ou un rack. Ne jamais attacher les
bouteilles aux établis et éléments susceptibles de les intégrer à un circuit électrique.
3. Conserver les bouteilles fermées lorsqu'elles ne sont pas utilisées. Les fermer par un bouchon
lorsqu'elles ne sont pas raccordées. Attacher et déplacer les bouteilles à l'aide de chariots
adéquats.
4. Éloigner les bouteilles des sources de chaleur, d'étincelles et de flammes nues. Ne jamais
déclencher d'arc sur une bouteille de gaz.
5. Pour plus d'informations sur les précautions d'utilisation des bouteilles de gaz comprimé, voir la
norme CGA P-1, disponible auprès de la Compressed Gas Association, 1235 Jefferson Davis
Highway, Arlington, VA 22202 – USA.
ENTRETIEN DE L'EQUIPEMENT
Un équipement mal entretenu peut provoquer des blessures graves ou mortelles. En
conséquence :
1. Confier l'installation, les dépannages et l'entretien à du personnel qualifié. Ne pas effectuer de
travaux électriques si vous ne possédez pas les compétences requises.

US
- 21 -
bm36d1aa
BEFORE MAKING ANY CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THE WIRE FEEDER AND THE
WELDING POWER SOURCE, TURN OFF POWER TO THE WELDING POWER
SOURCE AND THE WIRE FEEDER.
BE SURE TO PROPERLY INSULATE THIS CONNECTION BEFORE APPLYING
POWER TO THE POWER SOURC. UNINSULATED CABLE AND PARTS CAN ARC
WHEN CONTACTING A GROUNDED SURGACE. THE ARC MAY DAMAGE EYES OR
START A FIRE. BODY CONTACT WITH AN UNINSULATED WELD CABLE
CONNECTOR, OR UNCOVERED CONDUCTOR CAN SHOCK, POSSIBLY FATALLY.
UNLESS STARTING TO WELD, DO NOT ALLOW THE WELDING WIRE TO TOUCH A
GROUNDED METAL SURFACE. THE WELDING WIRE BECOMES ELECTRICALLY
HOT WHEN THE SEDONDARY CONTACT IS CLOSED. KEEP FINGERS CLEAR OF
THE DRIVE ROLLS; THEY WILL START TURNING WHEN THE TORCH TRIGGER IS
PRESSED.
WHEN THE POWER SWITCH IS ON, AND TORCH TRIGGER IS DEPRESSED, THE
ELECTRODE WIRE BECOMES ELECTRICALLY HOT AND THE WIRE FEED ROLLS
ARE ACTIVATED. DO NOT TOUCH THE WIRE AS IT MAY CAUSE A POSSIBILY
FATAL SHOCK. UNLESS WELDING, DO NOT ALLOW WIRE TO TOUCH A
GROUNDED METAL SURFACE AS IT WILL CAUSE AN ARC FLASH. KEEP CLEAR
OF FEED ROLLS AND DRIVE GEARS.
PRIOR TO WELDING, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT PROPER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
(WELDING COAT AND GLOVES) AND EYE PROTECTION (GLASSES AND/OR
WELDING HELMET) BE PUT ON. FAILURE TO COMPLY MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS

US
- 23 -
bm36d1aa
9.2 Water connection
When connecting a water-cooled welding gun, the power source's main power
supply switch must be in the Off position and the cooling unit switch must be in
position “ELP/0”.
The wire feed unit with water connection is equipped with a detection system ELP
(ESAB Logic Pump) which checks that the water hoses are connected. When
connecting a water-cooled welding gun, the water pump starts.
Detection only works with power sources that are equipped with ELP.
9.3 Function explanations
Burnback time
Burnback time is a delay between the time when the wire starts to brake until the
time when the power source switches off the welding voltage. Too short burnback
time results in a long wire stickout after completion of welding, with a risk of the wire
being caught in the solidifying weld pool. Too long a burnback time results in a
shorter stickout, with increased risk of the arc striking back to the contact tip.
Slow run in
Slow run in start means that the wire is fed at low speed until it comes into electrical
contact with the workpiece and then the speed increases to the set speed.
2 stroke
With 2 stroke, the gas flow and wire feed start when the trigger switch is pressed in
and end when it is released.
4 stroke
With 4 stroke, the gas flow starts when the trigger switch is pressed in and the wire
feed starts when it is released. The welding process continues until the switch is
pressed in again, the wire feed stops and when the switch is released the gas stops
flowing.
Wire feed speed
This sets the required feed speed of the filler wire in m/minute.
US
- 24 -
bm36d1aa
9.4 Wire feed pressure
Start by making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then
set the pressure of the wire feeder's pressure rollers. It is important that the
pressure is not too great.
Fig 1 Fig 2
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against
an insolated object, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the gun approx. 0.2” (5 mm) from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the
feed rollers should slip.
If you hold the gun approx. 2” (50 mm) from the piece of wood, the wire should be
fed out and bend (fig. 2).
WHEN THE WIRE FEEDER IS CONNECTED TO THE POWER SOURCE, THE WORK
LEAD FROM THE POWER SOURCE IS CONNECTED TO THE WORK PIECE AND
THE POWER SOURCE IS ENERGICED, CLOSING THE TORCH TRIGGER WILL
CAUSE THE WELDING WIRE TO BECOME ELECTRICALLY HOT AND WILL CAUSE
THE DRIVE ROLLS TO TURN. KEEP FINGERS CLEAR!
Before threading welding wire, make sure the chisel point and burrs have been
removed from the end of the wire to prevent the wire from jamming in the torch
liner.
