Class B machines fulfil the EMC requirements in industrial as well as residential areas,
including residential areas connected to the low-voltage public mains network.
Setting up and operating
When operating arc welding systems, in some cases, electro-magnetic interferen ce can occur
although all of the welding machines comply with the emission limits specified in the standard.
The user is responsible for any interference caused by welding.
In order to evaluate any possible problems with electromagnetic compatibility in the
surrounding area, the user must consider the following: (see also EN 60974-10 Appendix A)
• Mains, control, signal and telecommunication lines
• Radios and televisions
• Computers and other control systems
• Safety equipment
• The health of neighbouring persons, especially if they have a pacemaker or wear a hearing
• Calibration and measuring equipment
• The immunity to interference of other equipment in the surrounding area
• The time of day at which the welding work must be carried out
Recommendations for reducing interference emission
• Mains connection, e.g. additional mains filter or shielding with a metal tube
• Maintenance of the arc welding equipment
• Welding leads should be as short as possible and run clo sely toge ther along the ground
• Potential equalization
• Earthing of the workpiece. In cases where it is not possible to earth the workpiece directly,
• Shielding from other equipment in the surrounding area or the entire welding system

General
5 Design and function
5.1 General
Risk of injury from electric shock!
Contact with live parts, e.g. welding current sockets, is potentially fatal!
• Follow safety instructions on the opening pages of the operating instructions.
• Commissioning may only be carried out by persons who have the relevant expertise of
working with arc welding machines!
• Connection and welding leads (e.g. electrode holder, welding torch, workpiece lead,
interfaces) may only be connected when the machine is switched off!
Insulate the arc welder from welding voltage!
Not all active parts of the welding current circuit can be shielded from direct contact. To
avoid any associated risks it is vital for the welder to adhere to the relevant safety
regulations. Even low voltages can cause a shock and lead to accidents.
• Wear dry and undamaged protective clothing (shoes with rubber soles/welder's gloves
made from leather without any studs or braces)!
• Avoid direct contact with non-insulated connection sockets or connectors!
• Always place torches and electrode holders on an insulated surface!
Risk of burns on the welding current connection!
If the welding current connections are not locked, connections and leads heat up and
can cause burns, if touched!
• Check the welding current connections every day and lock by turning in clockwise direction,
if necessary.
Risk of injury due to moving parts!
The wire feeders are equipped with moving parts, which can trap hands, hair, clothing
or tools and thus injure persons!
• Do not reach into rotating or moving parts or drive components!
• Keep casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!
Risk of injury due to welding wire escaping in an unpredictable manner!
Welding wire can be conveyed at very high speeds and, if conveyed incorrectly, may
escape in an uncontrolled manner and injure persons!
• Before mains connection, set up the complete wire guide system from the wire spool to the
welding torch!
• Remove the pressure rollers from the wire feeder if no welding torch is fitted!
• Check wire guide at regular intervals!
• Keep all casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!
Risk from electrical current!
If welding is carried out alternately using different methods and if a welding torch and
an electrode holder remain connected to the machine, the open-circuit/welding voltage
is applied simultaneously on all cables.
• The torch and the electrode holder should therefore always be placed on an insu lated
surface before starting work and during breaks.

• Secure shielding gas cylinders using the standard fastening elements on
the unit (chain/belt)!
• The fastening elements must tightly enclose the shielding gas cylinder!
• Attach the fastening elements within the upper half of the shielding gas
cylinder!
• Do not attach any element to the shielding gas cylinder valve!
• Observe the instructions from the gas manufacturer and any relevant
regulations concerning the use of compressed air!
• Avoid heating the shielding gas cylinder!
Faults in the shielding gas supply.
An unhindered shielding gas supply from the shielding gas cylinder to the welding
torch is a fundamental requirement for optimum welding results. In addition, a blocked
shielding gas supply may result in the welding torch being destroyed.

Aligning the cable resistance
5.10 Aligning the cable resistance
The resistance value of cables can either be set directly or it can be aligned using the power source. The
factory setting of the power sources is 8 m. This value correponds to a 5 m earth cable, a 1.5 m
intermediate hose package and a 3 m water-cooled welding torch. With other hose package lengths, it is
necessary to carry out a +/- voltage correction to optimise welding properties. The voltage correction
value can be set close to zero by means of realigning the cable resistance. It is recommended to align the
electric cable resistance after replacing accessories such as torches or intermediate hose packages.
In case a second wire feeder is used the (rL2) parameter has to be aligned. For all other configurations it
is sufficient to align the (rL1) parameter.

1 Preparation
• Switch off the welding machine.
• Unscrew the gas nozzle from the welding torch.
• Trim the welding wire, so that it is flush with the contact tip.
• Retract the welding wire a little (approx. 50 mm) on the wire feeder. There should now be no more
welding wire in the contact tip.
2 Configuration
• Press the "welding parameter or choke effect" push-button while simultaneo usly switching on the
welding machine. Release push-button.
• "Welding parameter" push-button on the M3.7x-A and M3.7x-C control.
• "Choke effect" push-button on the M3.7x-B and M3.7x-D control.
• The required parameter can now be selected using the 'Welding parameter setting' rotary knob.
Parameter rL1 must be aligned for all machine combinations. In case of welding systems with a
second power circuit – if two wire feeders are to be operated from a single power source, for example
– a second alignment with parameter rL2 must be performed.
3 Alignment/measurement
• Applying slight pressure, put the welding torch in place with the contact tip on a clean, purged location
on the workpiece and then press the torch trigger for approx. 2 seconds. A sh ort-circuit current will
flow briefly, which is used to determine and display the cable resistance. The value can be between
0 m and 40 m. The new value is immediately saved without requiring further confirmation. If no
value is shown on the right-hand display, then measurement failed. The measurement must be
repeated.
4 Restoring welding standby mode
• Switch off the welding machine.
• Screw the gas nozzle onto the welding torch.
• Switch on the welding machine
• Insert the welding wire.
