General regulation of use
If the mains cable is damaged or
severed in use, do not touch the
cable but unplug the mains plug
immediately. Never use a
machine if the mains cable is
damaged.
Keep a fire extinguisher near the
welding area.
Check the welding area for fire af-
ter welding (see UVV 1)).
Never try to disassemble the pressure reducer. Replace the defective one.
setting up or transporting is 10°.
Service and repair work may only be carried
out by a trained electrician.
Ensure that the ground cable has good and
direct contact near the welding location. Do
not allow welding current to pass through
chains, ball bearings, steel cables or
grounding equipment; this may melt them.
Secure yourself and the welding machine
when working in elevated or inclined areas.
The machine may only be connected to a
properly grounded mains supply. (Threephase four-wire system with grounded
neutral conductor or single phase-three-wire
system with grounded neutral conductor)
socket and extension cable must have a
functional protective conductor.
Wear correct protective clothing, leather
gloves and leather apron.
Protect the welding area with curtains or
mobile screens.
Do not use this machine to thaw frozen
water pipes or cables.
In closed containers, under cramped conditions, and in high electrical risk areas, only
use machines with the S sign.
Switch off the machine during breaks and
close the valve of the gas cylinder.
Secure the gas cylinder with a chain to
prevent it falling over.
Disconnect the mains plug from the mains
before changing the place of installation or
making repairs to the machine.
Please heed the safety regulations which apply
to your country.

4 General regulation of use
This unit is for welding of steel, aluminium and
their alloys as well as for brazing with CuSi
wires for commercial as well as for industrial
use.
5 Unit protection
This machine is protected electronically
against overloading. Do not use fuses of higher
amperage than printed on the identification
plate.
Close the side cover before starting any
welding work.
6 Noise emission
The noise level of the unit is less than
70 dB(A), measured under standard load in accordance with EN 60974-1 in the maximum
working point.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
9 Electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC)
This product is manufactured in conformance
with the current EMC standard. Please note
the following:
The machine is intended for welding in both
commercial and industrial applications
(CISPR 11 class A). Use in other
surroundings (for example in residential
areas) may disturb other electronic devices.
Electromagnetic problems during start-up
can arise in:
• Mains cables, control cables, signal and
telecommunication lines near the welding or
cutting area
• TVs / radios
manufacturer is not liable for damages cause by misuse.
Ambient air must be free of dust, acids, corrosive gases or other damaging substances!
8 UVV inspection
Operators of commercially-operated welding
systems are obliged to have safety inspections
of the equipment carried out regularly in
accordance with VDE 0544-4. ELEKTRON
recommends inspection intervals of 12 months.
A safety inspection must also be carried out
after alterations or repair of the system.
destroy the system.
• Computers and other control equipment
• Protection equipment such as alarm
systems
• Pacemakers and hearing aids
• Equipment for measurement and calibration
• Equipment with too little protection against
disturbances
If other equipment is disturbed it may be
necessary to provide additional shielding.
The affected area can be bigger than your
premises/property. This depends on the
building, etc.
Please use the machine in compliance with the
manufacturer's instructions. The machine
operator is responsible for installation and use
of the machine. Furthermore, the owner is
responsible for eliminating the disturbances
caused by electromagnetic fields.

Place the inert gas cylinder on the unit and
secure it with the chain 1.
Remove the screw cap from the inert gas
cylinder and open the valve 32 briefly (blowout).
Connect the pressure reducer 13 to the inert
gas cylinder.
Connect the insert gas hose 5 from the unit
to the pressure reducer and open the
cylinder valve.
Insert the mains plug in the socket.
Connect welding return cable to connector
10 and the clamp to the workpiece.

Fig. 5: Correct
Attach the ground clamp immediately be-
side the welding point so that the welding
current will not try to find its own return path
through machine parts, ball bearings or
electric circuits.
Connect the ground clamp firmly to the
welding bench or the workpiece.

Repair and maintenance
17 Repair and maintenance
Please heed the current safety
and accident prevention regulations during all maintenance
and repair work.
17.1 Check regularly
Check the following points for damage
before starting up the welding machine:
• Mains plug and cable
• Welding torch and connections
• Ground cable and connection
Blow out the welding machine every two
months.
Switch the machine off.
Disconnect the mains plug.
Unscrew both side panels of the unit.
Blow out the welding machine with dry, low
pressure compressed air. Avoid blowing
directly on the electronic components from a
short distance, to prevent damage.
Screw the two side panels onto the machine
back again.
Never make repairs or technical
changes yourself.
warranty is no longer valid.
If you experience problems o
need repairs, contact a dealer authorised by ELEKTRON.
17.2 Torch care
Remove the weld spatter from inside the
gas nozzle using suitable tongs.
Spray the inside surface of the gas nozzle
with a releasing agent, or use nozzle
protection paste.
This will prevent weld spatter from being
burnt on.
