Please also study the Operation safety instructions and respect them when installing, operating and servicing the machine.

1.2. Product introduction

Kempomat is a welding machine with integrated welding current supply and wire feeder. The power supply converts the mains voltage suitable for welding. The wire feeding mechanism feeds wire from a roll through the welding gun nozzle into the arc. A weld is made by moving the welding gun.

1.5. Mains connection

The machine is supplied with the mains cable installed. The cable may be disconnected and the plug installed only by an authorised electrician! See under “Maintenance”. The fuse rating and the cable diameter are given in the chapter Technical data in the end of this document.

1.6. Locating the machine

Use the front panel handles to move the machine. Use ropes for lifting. Do not use a hook or a chain! Place the machine on a horizontal, stable and clean base. Protect from hard rain and intensive sunshine. Ensure unhindered circulation of cooling air.

1.7. Operation safety

Please study these Operation safety instructions and respect them when installing, operating and servicing the machine.

Welding arc and spatters

Welding arc hurts unprotected eyes. Be careful also with reﬂecting arc ﬂash. Welding arc and spatter burn unprotected skin. Use safety gloves and protective clothing.

Danger for ﬁre or explosion

Pay attention to ﬁre safety regulations. Remove ﬂammable or explosive materials from welding place. Always reserve sufﬁcient ﬁre-ﬁghting equipment on welding place. Be prepared for hazards in special welding jobs, eg. for the danger of ﬁre or explosion when welding container type work pieces. Note! Fire can break out from sparks even several hours after the welding work has been ﬁnished!

Mains voltage

Never take welding machine inside a work piece (eg. container or truck). Do not place welding machine on a wet surface. Always check cables before operating the machine. Change defect cables without delay. Defect cables may cause an injury or set out a ﬁre. Connection cable must not be compressed, it must not touch sharp edges or hot work pieces.

Welding power circuit

Isolate yourself by using proper protective clothing, do not wear wet clothing. Never work on a wet surface or use defect cables. Do not put MIG-gun or welding cables on welding machine or on other electric equipment. Do not press MIG-gun switch, if the gun is not directed towards a work piece.

Welding fumes

Take care that there is sufﬁcient ventilation during welding. Take special safety precautions when welding metals which contain lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium.
