ARC Runner

ARC Runner Operator’s Manual

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. Application

The ARC Runner is a welding carriage designed to make continuous or stitch butt

and fillet welds. The carriage allows MIG/MAG torches with the handle diameter of

16–22 mm (0.63–0.87’’). It is fixed by permanent magnets and can work in the following

welding positions: PA/1F/1G, PB/2F, PC/2G, PD/4F, and PE/4G.

Accessories allow, for instance, welding with oscillation, using torches with the

handle diameter larger than 22 mm, using two torches at the same time, and guiding

the carriage along outside edges, lap joints and templates, walls low or with holes, and

on ceilings, pipes, and tanks.

2. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1. Before starting, read this Operator’s Manual and complete proper occupational

safety and health training.

2. Use the carriage only in applications specified in this Operator’s Manual.

3. The carriage must be complete and all parts must be genuine and fully functional.

4. The specifications of the power source must conform to those specified on the

ratingplate.

5. Connect the carriage into a properly grounded power source.

6. Never carry the carriage by the cords or arc ignition cable. Never pull them

because this may damage them and result in electric shock.

7. Untrained bystanders must not be present near the carriage.

8. Before starting, ensure the correct condition of the carriage, power source, cords,

arc ignition cable, plugs, control panel, and wheels.

9. Keep the carriage dry, and never expose it to rain, snow, or frost.

10. Keep the work area well lit, clean, and free of obstacles.

11. Never use near flammable liquids or gases, or in explosive environments.

12. Make sure that the rubber of the wheels is clean and not damaged.

13. Never remove the cover of the wheels.

14. Remove objects attracted to the chassis by the magnet.

15. Transport and position the carriage by using the carrying handle and only when

the magnet ON/OFF lever is set to ‘O’.

16. Position the carriage on the ferromagnetic workpiece so that the wheels are in

contact with the surface and no contact is between the surface and chassis.

17. Do not stay below the carriage placed at heights.

18. Plug the cords and arc ignition cable only when the power switch is set to ‘O’.

19. Keep the sockets clean. Do not use compressed air for cleaning.

20. Install only MIG/MAG torches whose handle diameter is the same as the diameter

of the torch holder in use.

21. Do not position the torch more than 80 mm (3.15’’) outward from the left or right

side of the carriage.

22. Keep the torch cables from coming in contact with the surface. They must be

suspended to reduce the load of the carriage. Use only cables whose weight is

not more than 12 kg (27 lbs) for horizontal work and 8 kg (18 lbs) for vertical work.

ARC Runner

ARC Runner Operator’s Manual

23. Never work on curves with convex or concave radius less than 1500 mm (5 ft).

24. At heights, use a fall arrester to protect the carriage from falling.

25. Always use eye protection (helmet, shield, and screen), hearing protection, gloves,

and protective clothing during work. Do not wear loose clothing.

26. Before every use, inspect the carriage to ensure it is not damaged. Check whether

any part is cracked or improperly fitted. Make sure to maintain proper conditions

that may affect the operation of the carriage.

27. Never try to manually stop the travel. To stop, set the travel direction switch to ‘O’.

28. Maintain only when the carriage is unplugged from the power source.

29. Repair only in a service center appointed by the seller.

30. If the carriage falls from any height, is wet, or has any other damage that could

affect the technical state of the carriage, stop the work and promptly send the

carriage to the service center for inspection and repair.

31. Never leave the carriage unattended during work.

32. Remove from the worksite and store in a secure and dry place when not in use.

3. STARTUP AND OPERATION

3.1. Preparing

Use the carrying handle to transport the carriage to the worksite. Then, set to ‘O’ all

switches (power, travel direction, and arc ignition switch) and the magnet lever.

Fig. 1. View from the back side

Connect the carriage to the power source, insert the torch into the torch holder, and

then secure it with the screws with the 4 mm hex wrench. Next, insert the torch cable

into the cable anchor, secure it with the knobs, and then fix the anchor in the required

position with the lever.
