SECTION 1 – FIELD OF APPLICATION OPTI-WELDER T1: (Intended Use)
Point welding on steel and steel alloys as well as titanium and various NE metals and nickel alloys such as brass, German silver, monel or EVO. Also suitable for precious metals and precious metals alloys.
Not approved for welding dentures! (Dentistry)
Any usage other than herein specified is prohibited.
Do not use outdoors! Use only in a dry environment!
We are not liable for the durability of the welding points. We recommend checking the welding points and if necessary re-do the welding.
SECTION 2 – INTRODUCTION
The opti-welder T1 is the long missed link between over elaborated welding techniques and laser techniques. This unique precision welding device was created combining intelligent coordination and precise mechanics. Smaller dimension, lightweight and low energy requirements are
advantageous and important facts. Outstanding ignition and welding qualities offer a broad range of application. A whole new world of production and repairing possibilities opens up for all fixating and welding techniques.

SECTION 3 – SAFETY RULES
3-1.GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Only a professional may open the device. Remove the power plug and make certain that the device is completely unplugged. . Discharge the components in the device, which store electricity.
If you have any doubts, please contact a professional. Of course, you may contact our customer service, which has the appropriate resources and means, as well as professionally trained personnel.
Always use appropriate length cables and make sure the work piece clamp is properly attached.
Hazards could be caused by the main current as well as by the welding current.
The law prohibits the non-professional electrician to tamper with parts, which are connected with the main voltage, with the exception of the power plug or the main power switch.
Remove the device from the power during repair or maintenance work on the power source. If you need to leave the workstation, even only for a moment, you must noticeably block the power plug.
The highest and therefore the most dangerous voltage in the welding electrical circuit is the idling voltage. The maximum permission able idling voltage is determined in national and international requirements and depends on the type of welding power, the construction of the power source and the more or less electrical hazard of the work station.
If a safe operation of the device seems doubtful, turn off the device and secure against unintentional use. Safe operation is no longer possible if
o the device shows visible damage or, o the device malfunctions
o the device no longer can operate
Please note the relevant safety precautions during handling of the gas bottles.
The Optiwelder is manufactured to be operated with 230V~ main voltage
Yellow-green conductor = protection conductor (PE). The remaining conductors L1 and N are connected to phase and neutral of the power plug. Since the introduction of the Euro Norm IEC 38 (effective since May 1987) the mains voltage in all Europe is defined by 230V.
The welding device is set by the manufacturer at 230V!
– this means, the device may, due to the tolerance of +/­15%, also be operated on a 220V power. Devices that operate on a different power than 230V will be marked with a special sticker.
AUTHORIZED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY MAY OPEN THE DEVICE!
IF THE DEVICE HAS BEEN MADE FOR A SPECIAL VOLTAGE, THEN SEE THE TECHNICAL DATA INDICATED ON THE DEVICE! THE POWER SWITCH MUST CORRESPOND WITH THE MAIN VOLTAGE AND THE POWER RECEPTACLE OF THE WELDING DEVICE. (See the technical data!) PLEASE ENSURE THAT THE MAIN POWER BOX CAN SUPPORT THE USE OF THIS DEVICE WITHOUT BLOWING A FUSE: USE ONLY THE PROVIDED POWER CONNECTORS!
3-2. PERSONAL BODY PROTECTION AND DANGERS
Wear protective gloves on both hands during welding, since sparks and splashes are unavoidable. The protection gloves may not contain a high portion of easy melting plastic fibers. Gloves will protect from harmful UV rays during welding.
Wear appropriate clothes, with no synthetics.
Do not look into the welding arc with unprotected eyes; only use welding protection shield with correct protection lenses (min. Protection level
11)
The arc emits besides light and heat rays, which could cause glares or burns, also UV rays. If insufficiently protected, these invisible ultra violet rays can cause a very painful conjunctivitis, which will become apparent several hours later.
Persons or helpers whom are in the vicinity of this light arc must be made aware of the danger and must also wear protective gear, if necessary, install protection walls.
Arrange for enough fresh air, especially in small rooms, since smoke and harmful gases may develop.
Do not perform any welding on receptacles, in which gas, fuel, mineral oils or similar were stored, even if they have been empty for some time, because the residues could cause an explosion.
Special rules apply to rooms of high risk of fire and explosion.
SECTION 4 – INSTALLATION
4-1. SET UP RULES
Set up the device so that the cooling air can easily reach all surfaces of the casing.
Do not cover the device in any way!
Set the device onto a sturdy, hard to inflame and
insulated surface!
Do not let metal dust (i.e. during sanding) get into the device
