WARNING

ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY

PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.

ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill

SInstall and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.

SDo not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or

wet clothing.

SInsulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

SEnsure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health

SKeep your head out of the fumes.

SUse ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from

your breathing zone and the general area.

ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.

SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens

and wear protective clothing.

SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no

inflammable materials nearby.

MALFUNCTION

SCall for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE

SAFETY

Users of ESAB automatic welding machines have ultimate responsibility for ensuring

that anyone who works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety

precautions.

The following recommendations should be observed in addition to the standard

regulations that apply to the work place.

All work must be carried out according to the specified instructions by personnel who

are thoroughly familiar with the operation of the welding machine.

Incorrect or unintentional operation of the equipment may lead to a hazardous

situation which can result in injury to the operator and damage to the equipment.

1. Anyone who uses the automatic welding machine must be familiar with:

Sits operation

Sthe location of emergency stops

Sits function

Srelevant safety precautions

To make this easier each switch, pushbutton or potentiometer is marked with a

symbol or text that indicates its function when activated.

2. The operator must ensure that:

Sno unauthorized person is stationed within the working area of the machine

when it is started up.

Sthat no--one is in a hazardous position when the carriage or slide mechan-

isms are operated.

3. The work place must:

Sbe clear of mechanical components, tools, or other obstructions that could

prevent the operator from moving freely within the working area.

Sbe organized so that there is free access to the emergency stop.

4. Personal safety equipment

SAlways wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety

glasses, flame--proof clothing, safety gloves.

SDo not wear loose--fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, etc., which could

become trapped.

5. General precautions

Live electrical components are normally shielded from accidental contact.

SMake sure the return cable is connected securely.

SWork on high voltage components may only be carried out by a qualified

electrician.

SAppropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be clearly marked and close

at hand.

SLubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment dur-

ing its operation.

4. PEG1 control box: see instruction manual 333 470--001

5. Connection instructions, see page 17.

SDC welding:

Connect control cable (08) for A6 TFD1 resp. (15) for A6 TGD1 between the weld-

ing power source and the PEG1 control box.

Connect the welding current lead carrying a cable lug (07) resp. (08) between the

welding power source and the current shunt

SAC welding:

Connect control cable (08) between the auxiliary control box (11) and the PEG1 con-

trol box. Connect the auxiliary control box (11) to the welding power source.

Connect the welding current lead (07) between the welding power source and the

current shunt.

SConnect the return cable between the welding power source and the workpiece

SConnect the measurement cable (09) resp. (16) between the workpiece and the

welding power source, or between the workpiece and the PEG1 control box

(e.g. as might be required when a power source from another manufacturer is being

used)

SConnect the A6 VEC geared motor to the PEG1 control box

SConnect the guide lamp, if used, to the PEG1 control box

Loading with wire

1. Replacement of the coil

SRemove the wire reel from the brake hub (2) and take off one end (3).

SPlace the coil (1) of wire on the reel and replace the end (3)

SFit the wire reel or disposable reel on the brake hub (2):

Note the position of the carrier

IMPORTANT!

To prevent the wire drum from slipping off the

brake hub; Secure the drum with the red retaining knob,

as shown on the warning lable (right) by the brake hub.
