IMPORTANT! Ensure secure grounding of the grid connection!
Residual current circuit breaker
Personal Protec­tion and Protec­tion of Others
Local regulations and national guidelines may mean that a residual current circuit break­er is required when connecting a device to the public grid. The residual current circuit breaker recommended for the device by the manufacturer can be found in the technical data.
You are exposed to numerous hazards while handling the device, for example:
- Flying sparks and pieces of hot metal
- Arc radiation that poses a risk of injury to the eyes and skin
- Hazardous electromagnetic fields that pose a risk of death for individuals with pace­makers
- Electrical risks from grid current and welding current
- Increased noise exposure
- Harmful welding fumes and gases
Wear suitable protective clothing when dealing with the device. The protective clothing must have the following properties:
- Flame resistant
- Insulating and dry
- Covering the entire body and in good condition with no damage

Data on noise emission values
The device produces a maximum noise level of <80 dB(A) (ref. 1pW) when idling and in the cooling phase following operation in relation to the maximum permitted operating point at standard loading in accordance with EN 60974-1.
A workplace-specific emission value for welding (and cutting) cannot be specified be­cause this value depends on the welding process and the environmental conditions. It is influenced by a wide range of parameters, such as the welding process itself (MIG/MAG, TIG welding), the selected current type (direct current, alternating current), the power range, the type of weld metal, the resonance properties of the workpiece, the workplace environment, and many other factors.
EN-US
Danger from tox­ic gases and va­pors
The fumes produced during welding contain toxic gases and vapors.
Welding fumes contain substances that cause cancer, as stated in monograph 118 from the International Agency for Research on Cancer.
Use at-source extraction source and a room extraction system. If possible, use a welding torch with an integrated extraction device.
Keep your head out of the welding fumes and gases.
Take the following precautionary measures for fumes and harmful gases:
- Do not breathe them in.
- Extract them from the work area using appropriate equipment.
Ensure that there is a sufficient supply of fresh air. Ensure that there is a ventilation flow rate of at least 20 m³ per hour.
Use a welding helmet with air supply if there is insufficient ventilation.
If there is uncertainty as to whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, compare the measured toxic emission values against the permissible limit values.
The following components are factors that determine how toxic the welding fumes are:
- The metals used for the workpiece
- Electrodes
- Coatings
- Cleaning agents, degreasers, and the like
- The welding process used
Danger from Fly­ing Sparks
Consult the corresponding material safety data sheets and manufacturer's instructions for the components listed above.
Recommendations for exposure scenarios, risk management measures and identifying working conditions can be found on the European Welding Association website under Health & Safety (https://european-welding.org).
Keep flammable vapors (such as solvent vapors) out of the arc radiation range.
When no welding is taking place, close the valve of the shielding gas cylinder or the main gas supply.
Flying sparks can cause fires and explosions.
Never undertake welding near flammable materials.
Flammable materials must be kept at least 11 meters (36 ft. 1.07 in.) from the arc or pro­tected with a certified cover.
9
Keep suitable, tested fire extinguishers on hand.
Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into surrounding areas through small cracks and openings. Take appropriate measures to ensure that there is no risk of injury or fire.
Do not undertake welding in areas at risk of fire and explosion, or on sealed tanks, drums, or pipes if these have not been prepared in accordance with corresponding na­tional and international standards.
Do not undertake welding on containers in which gases, fuels, mineral oils, and the like are/were stored. Residues pose a risk of explosion.
Risks from grid current and weld­ing current
An electric shock can be fatal.
Do not touch voltage-carrying parts inside or outside the device.
During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool, the feed rollers, as well as all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire, are live.
Always place the wirefeeder on a sufficiently insulated base or use a suitable insulating wirefeeder holder.
Ensure suitable personal protection with dry temporary backing or cover with sufficient insulation against the ground potential. The temporary backing or cover must completely cover the entire area between the body and the ground potential.
All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated, and adequately dimen­sioned. Replace loose connections and scorched, damaged, or inadequately dimen­sioned cables and leads immediately. Before every use, check power connections for secure fit by hand. In the case of power cables with bayonet connectors, turn the power cable by at least 180° around the longitudinal axis and pretension.
Do not wrap cables or leads around your body or parts of the body.
Concerning the electrode (rod electrode, tungsten electrode, welding wire, etc.)
- Never immerse it in liquids to cool it
- Never touch it when the power source is switched on.
The open circuit voltage of a welding system may double, for example, between the elec­trodes of two welding systems. Touching the potentials of both electrodes at the same time may be life-threatening in some cases.
Have the grid and device supply lead regularly inspected by an electrician to ensure that the ground conductor is functioning properly.
Protection class I devices require a grid with a ground conductor and a connector system with ground conductor contact for proper operation.
Operation of the device on a grid without a ground conductor and on a socket without a ground conductor contact is only permitted if all national regulations for protective separ­ation are observed. Otherwise, this is considered gross negligence. The manufacturer accepts no liability for any damage resulting from improper use.
Use suitable equipment to ensure that the workpiece is sufficiently grounded if neces­sary.
Switch off unused devices.
When working at elevated heights, wear a safety harness to prevent falls.
Before working on the device, switch off the device and remove the grid plug.
10
Secure the device to prevent the grid plug from being connected and switched on again by applying a clearly legible and understandable warning sign.
Stray welding currents
After opening the device:
- Discharge all electrically charged components
- Ensure that all components are disconnected from the power supply.
If work is needed on voltage-carrying parts, bring in a second person who will switch off the main switch at the correct time.
If the following instructions are not observed, stray welding currents may occur, which pose a risk of the following:
- Fire
- Overheating of parts connected to the workpiece
- Irreparable damage to ground conductors
- Damage to the device and other electrical equipment
Ensure that the workpiece clamp is securely connected to the workpiece.
Secure the workpiece clamp as close to the spot to be welded as possible.
Position the device with sufficient insulation against electrically conductive environments, e.g., insulation against electrically conductive floors or electrically conductive mounts.
Observe the following when using power distribution boards, twin-head mounts, etc.: Even the electrode of the welding torch/electrode holder not in use carries electric poten­tial. Ensure that there is sufficient insulation when the unused welding torch/electrode holder is stored.
EN-US
In automated MIG/MAG applications, only guide the wire electrode from the welding wire drum, large spool, or wirespool to the wirefeeder with insulation.
EMC Device Clas­sifications
EMC measures In certain cases, even though a device complies with the standard limit values for emis-
Devices in emission class A:
- Are only designed for use in industrial settings
- Can cause line-bound and radiated interference in other areas
Devices in emission class B:
- Satisfy the emissions criteria for residential and industrial areas. This is also true for residential areas in which the energy is supplied from the public low-voltage grid.
EMC device classification as per the rating plate or technical data.
sions, it may affect the application area for which it was designed (e.g., when there is sensitive equipment at the same location, or if the site where the device is installed is close to either radio or television receivers). If this is the case, then the operating company is obliged to take appropriate action to rectify the situation.
Test and assess the immunity of equipment in the vicinity of the device in accordance with national and international provisions. Examples of interference-prone equipment that could be affected by the device:
- Safety devices
- Grid power lines, signal lines, and data transfer lines
- IT and telecommunications equipment
- Devices for measuring and calibrating
11
Supporting measures to avoid EMC problems:
1. Grid power supply
- If electromagnetic interference occurs despite a grid connection that complies
with regulations, take additional measures (e.g., use a suitable grid filter).
2. Welding power-leads
- Keep them as short as possible
- Route them close together (also to avoid EMF problems)
- Route them far from other lines
3. Equipotential bonding
4. Workpiece grounding
- If necessary, establish grounding using suitable capacitors.
5. Shield, if necessary
- Shield other devices in the vicinity
- Shield the entire welding installation
EMF measures Electromagnetic fields may cause health problems that are not yet known:
- Effects on the health of persons close by, e.g., those with pacemakers and hearing aids
- Persons with pacemakers must seek advice from their doctor before staying in the immediate vicinity of the device and the welding process
- Keep distances between welding power-leads and the head/torso of the welder as great as possible for safety reasons
- Do not carry welding power-leads and hosepacks over your shoulder or wrap them around your body or body parts
Particular hazard areas
Keep hands, hair, loose clothing, and tools away from moving parts, such as:
- Fans
- Gears
- Rollers
- Shafts
- Wirespools and welding wires
Do not reach into rotating gears of the wire drive or into rotating drive parts.
Covers and side parts must only be opened/removed during maintenance and repair work.
During operation
- Ensure that all covers are closed, and all side parts have been mounted properly.
- Keep all covers and side parts closed.
The protrusion of welding wire from the welding torch represents a high risk of injury (cuts to the hand, facial and eye injuries, etc.)
Therefore always hold the welding torch away from the body (devices with wirefeeder) and use suitable protective goggles.
Do not touch the workpiece during or after welding—burning hazard.
Slag may fly off cooling workpieces. Therefore, also wear regulation-compliant protective equipment when reworking workpieces and ensure that other persons are sufficiently protected.
12
Leave the welding torch and other parts with a high operating temperature to cool before working on them.
Special regulations apply in areas at risk of fire or explosion –follow the appropriate national and international regulations.
Power sources for work in areas with increased electrical hazard (e.g. boilers) must be labeled with the symbol (Safety). However, the power source may not be located in such areas.
Risk of scalding due to leaking coolant. Switch off the cooling unit before disconnecting connections for the coolant supply or return.
When handling coolant, observe the information on the coolant safety data sheet. The coolant safety data sheet can be obtained from your service center or via the manufac­turer's website.
In the event of crane attachment of the wirefeeder during welding, always use a suitable, insulating wirefeeder hoisting attachment (MIG/MAG and TIG devices).
If the device is equipped with a carrier belt or handle, then this is used exclusively for transport by hand. The carrier belt is not suitable for transport by crane, counterbalanced lift truck or other mechanical lifting tools.
All lifting equipment (belts, buckles, chains, etc.), which is used in association with the device or its components, must be checked regularly (e.g. for mechanical damage, cor­rosion, or changes due to other environmental influences). The test interval and scope must at least comply with the respective valid national stand­ards and guidelines.
There is a risk of colorless, odorless shielding gas escaping without notice if an adapter is used for the shielding gas connection. Use suitable Teflon tape to seal the thread of the shielding gas connection adapter on the device side before installation.
EN-US
Requirement for the shielding gas
Danger from Shielding Gas Cylinders
Especially with ring lines, contaminated shielding gas can cause damage to equipment and reduce welding quality. Meet the following requirements regarding shielding gas quality:
- Solid particle size < 40 µm
- Pressure condensation point < -20 °C
- Max. oil content < 25 mg/m³
Use filters if necessary.
Shielding gas cylinders contain compressed gas and may explode if damaged. Shielding gas cylinders are an integral part of the welding equipment, so they must be handled very carefully.
Protect shielding gas cylinders with compressed gas from excessive heat, mechanical impact, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.
Mount the shielding gas cylinders vertically and secure them in accordance with instruc­tions so they cannot fall over.
Keep shielding gas cylinders away from welding or other electrical circuits.
Never hang a welding torch on a shielding gas cylinder.
Never touch a shielding gas cylinder with an electrode.
Risk of explosion: Never weld on a compressed shielding gas cylinder.
Always use suitable shielding gas cylinders for the application in question and the correct matching accessories (controller, hoses, and fittings, etc.) Only use shielding gas cylin­ders and accessories that are in good condition.
If a valve on a shielding gas cylinder is open, turn your face away from the outlet.
13
When no welding is taking place, close the valve of the shielding gas cylinder.
Leave the cap on the valve of the shielding gas cylinder when the cylinder is not connec­ted.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions and applicable national and international provi­sions for shielding gas cylinders and accessories.
Danger Posed by Shielding Gas Leak
Safety Measures at the Setup Loc­ation and During Transport
Risk of asphyxiation due to uncontrolled shielding gas leak

General
Device Concept The TransTig 170 and TransTig 210 TIG
power sources are microprocessor-con­trolled inverter power sources.
A modular design and easy ability to ex­tend the system guarantee a high degree of flexibility. The power sources are generator-compat­ible and are equipped with protected oper­ating elements and a robust plastic hous­ing.
As a result of the simple operating concept, key functions can be quickly viewed and adjusted.
The power source can also be operated via the standard TIG Multi Connector with vari­ous remote controls or an Up/Down torch.
EN-US
Operating Prin­ciple
The TIG pulsed arc function means that the power source offers a wide frequency range.
Additionally, the power source offers "Power Factor Correction", meaning the current consumption of the power source adapts to the sinusoidal grid voltage. This results in advantages such as:
- Low primary current
- Low conductivity losses
- Late tripping of the power circuit breaker
- Improved stability during voltage fluctuations
- Compatibility with long grid leads
- Consistent input voltage range with multivoltage devices
The central control unit of the power source controls the entire welding process. During the welding process, actual values are continually measured and any changes are immediately responded to. Control algorithms ensure that the desired status is main­tained.
This results in:
- A precise welding process,
- A high degree of reproducibility on all results
- Excellent weld properties.
Applications The power source can be used in repair and maintenance for production and manufac-
turing tasks.
19
Remote control operating mode
The TransTig 170 and TransTig 210 power sources can be operated using the following remote controls:
- RC Bar 1P
- RC Panel MMA
- RC Pedal TIG
- RC Panel Basic TIG
Warning notices on the device
Warning notices and safety symbols can be found on power sources with the CSA test mark for use in the North American region (USA and Canada). These warning notices and safety symbols must not be removed or painted over. They warn against incorrect operation, as this may result in serious injury and property damage.
