1.2 Product introduction
Minarc Evo 180 is an easy-to-use welding machine for MMA (stick welding). It is suitable
for professional use in metal industry, work sites and repair welding. Before use or doing
any maintenance work on the machine, read the operating manual and keep it for further
reference.
A separate voltage reduction device (VRD) model is also available. Minarc Evo 180VRD
includes VRD for maintaining the open-circuit voltage (OCD) at 30 volts. With AU models
(Australia, New Zealand) VRD for maintaining the open-circuit voltage at 12 volts is always
included.
Minarc Evo 180 tolerates uctuations in input voltage, and it is suitable for on-site work using
power generators and long power cables. The power source utilises PFC technology to ensure
optimum usage on a single phase power supplies. IGBT inverter design delivers reliable arc
ignition and welding performance with all electrode types.
Welding and earth return cables are supplied in the delivery package, including electrode
holder, earth clamps and connections.
Minarc Evo can also be used for basic TIG welding, where the TIG arc is started by the lift arc
ignition technique. Order numbers for the additional equipment required for TIG welding and
for the remote current control devices can be found in section 5 "Ordering codes".
NOTE! Please read the separate safety instruction booklet provided before you commence welding.
Pay particular attention to the risks associated with re and explosion.
2.1 Unpacking
Always before using the equipment, make sure it was not damaged during transportation.
Also check that you have received what you ordered and that instructions are included.
The packaging material of the products is suitable for recycling.
Transportation
The machine should be transported in an upright position.
NOTE! Always move the welding machine by lifting it from the handle. Never pull it from the
welding cable or other cables.
Environment
The machine is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use, but it should be protected from rain
and sunshine. Store the machine in a dry and clean environment and protect it from sand and
dust during use and storage. The recommended operating temperature range is –20…+40 °C.
Place the machine in such a way that it does not come in contact with hot surfaces, sparks and
spatters. Make sure the air ow in the machine is unrestricted.
2.2 Positioning and location of the machine
Place the machine on a rm, dry and level surface. Where possible, do not allow dust or other
impurities to enter the machines cooling air ow. Preferably site the machine above oor level.
Notes for positioning the machine
• The surface inclination should not exceed 15 degrees.
• Ensure the free circulation of the cooling air. There must be at least 20 cm of free space
around the machine for cooling air to circulate.
• Protect the machine against heavy rain and direct sunshine.
NOTE! Do not operate the machine in rain. The protection class of the machine is IP23S, which
allows for outside preserving and storage only.
NOTE! Never use a wet welding machine.
NOTE! Never aim metallic grinding spray or sparks towards the equipment.
2.3 Distribution network
All regular electrical devices without special circuits generate harmonic currents into
distribution network. High rates of harmonic current may cause losses and disturbance to
some equipment.
Minarc Evo 180 comply with IEC 61000-3-12.
2.4 Serial number
The serial number of the unit is marked on the rating plate. The serial number makes it
possible to trace product manufacturing series. You might need the serial number when
placing spare parts orders or when planning maintenance.
