capacitors according to instructions in Maintenance Section
before touching any parts.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous.

Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your
health.

D Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes.
D If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to remove

welding fumes and gases.

D If ventilation is poor, use an approved air-supplied respirator.
D Read the Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs) and the

manufacturer’s instructions for metals, consumables, coatings,
cleaners, and degreasers.

D Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while

wearing an air-supplied respirator. Always have a trained watch­person nearby. Welding fumes and gases can displace air and
lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Be sure the breath­ing air is safe.

D Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying op-

erations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form
highly toxic and irritating gases.

D Do not weld on coated metals, such as galvanized, lead, or

cadmium plated steel, unless the coating is removed from the weld
area, the area is well ventilated, and if necessary, while wearing an
air-supplied respirator. The coatings and any metals containing
these elements can give off toxic fumes if welded.

OM-214 608 Page 1

ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin.

BUILDUP OF GAS can injure or kill.

Arc rays from the welding process produce intense
visible and invisible (ultraviolet and infrared) rays
that can burn eyes and skin. Sparks fly off from the
weld.

glare; warn others not to watch the arc.

D Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant mate-

rial (leather and wool) and foot protection.

WELDING can cause fire or explosion.

Welding on closed containers, such as tanks,
drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks
can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot

burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause
sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is
safe before doing any welding.

D Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal.
D Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material.
D Remove all flammables within 35 ft (10.7 m) of the welding arc. If

this is not possible, tightly cover them with approved covers.

D Be alert that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can

easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

D Watch for fire, and keep a fire extinguisher nearby.
D Be aware that welding on a ceiling, floor, bulkhead, or partition can

cause fire on the hidden side.

D Do not weld on closed containers such as tanks, drums, or pipes,

unless they are properly prepared according to AWS F4.1 (see
Safety Standards).

D Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding area as

practical to prevent welding current from traveling long, possibly
unknown paths and causing electric shock and fire hazards.

D Do not use welder to thaw frozen pipes.
D Remove stick electrode from holder or cut off welding wire at

contact tip when not in use.

D Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy

shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.

Considerations About Welding And The Effects Of Low Frequency
Electric And Magnetic Fields

Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electro­magnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such
fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17
years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National
Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the
committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power­frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”
However, studies are still going forth and evidence continues to be
examined. Until the final conclusions of the research are reached, you
may wish to minimize your exposure to electromagnetic fields when
welding or cutting.

To reduce magnetic fields in the workplace, use the following

LES DÉCHARGES ÉLECTRIQUES
peuvent être mortelles.

Un simple contact avec des pièces sous tension peut
causer une électrocution ou des blessures graves.
L’électrode et le circuit de soudage sont sous tension

d’entrée et les circuits internes de l’appareil sont également sous tension.
En soudage semi−automatique ou automatique, le fil, le dévidoir, le
logement des galets d’entraînement et les pièces métalliques en contact
avec le fil de soudage sont sous tension. Tout matériel mal installé ou mal
mis à la terre présente un danger.

D Ne jamais toucher aux pièces électriques sous tension.
D Porter des gants et des vêtements de protection secs et exempts de

trous.

D S’isoler de la pièce et de la terre au moyen de tapis ou autres disposi-

tifs isolants suffisamment grands pour empêcher tout contact
physique avec la pièce ou la terre.

D Ne pas se servir d’une source de courant alternatif dans les zones humi-

des, les endroits confinés ou là où on risque de tomber.

D Ne se servir d’une source de courant alternatif QUE si le procédé de souda-

ge l’exige.

D Si l’utilisation d’une source de courant alternatif s’avère nécessaire, se ser-

vir de la fonction de télécommande si l’appareil en est équipé.

D Couper l’alimentation ou arrêter le moteur avant de procéder à l’instal-

lation, à la réparation ou à l’entretien de l’appareil. Couper/étiqueter
l’alimentation selon la norme OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 (voir les nor­mes de sécurité).

D Installer et mettre à la terre correctement l’appareil conformément à

son manuel d’utilisation et aux codes nationaux, provinciaux et
municipaux.

D Toujours vérifier la terre du cordon d’alimentation − Vérifier et s’assu-

rer que le fil de terre du cordon d’alimentation est bien raccordé à la
borne de terre du sectionneur ou que la fiche du cordon est raccordée
à une prise correctement mise à la terre.

D Pour exécuter les branchements d’entrée, fixer d’abord le conducteur

de mise à la terre adéquat et contre−vérifier les connexions.

D Vérifier fréquemment le cordon d’alimentation et s’assurer qu’il n’est

ni endommagé ni dénudé ; le remplacer immédiatement s’il est en­dommagé − tout câble dénudé peut causer une électrocution.

D Mettre l’appareil hors tension quand on ne l’utilise pas.
D Ne pas utiliser de câbles usés, endommagés, de calibre insuffisant ou

mal épissés.

D Ne pas s’enrouler les câbles autour du corps.
D Si la pièce soudée doit être mise à la terre, le faire directement avec un

câble distinct.

D Ne pas toucher l’électrode quand on est en contact avec la pièce, la

terre ou une électrode d’une autre machine.

dès que l’appareil est en fonctionnement. Le circuit

D N’utiliser que du matériel en bon état. Réparer ou remplacer sur−le−

champ les pièces endommagées. Entretenir l’appareil conformément
au présent manuel.

D Porter un harnais de sécurité quand on travaille en hauteur.
D Maintenir solidement en place tous les panneaux et capots.
D Fixer le câble de retour de façon à obtenir un bon contact métal sur

métal avec la pièce à souder ou la table de travail, le plus près possible
de la soudure.

D Ne pas connecter plus d’une électrode ou plus d’un câble de masse à un

même terminal de sortie.

Il subsiste un COURANT CONTINU IMPORTANT
dans les convertisseurs après la suppression de
l’alimentation électrique.

D Arrêter les convertisseurs, débrancher le courant électrique et dé-

charger les condensateurs d’alimentation selon les instructions
énoncées à la section Entretien avant de toucher les pièces.

LES FUMÉES ET LES GAZ peuvent
être dangereux.

Le soudage génère des fumées et des gaz dont
l’inhalation peut être dangereuse pour la santé.

D Se tenir à distance des fumées et ne pas les inhaler.
D À l’intérieur, ventiler la zone et/ou utiliser un dispositif d’aspiration au

niveau de l’arc pour l’évacuation des fumées et des gaz de soudage.

D Si la ventilation est insuffisante, utiliser un respirateur à adduction

d’air agréé.

D Lire les fiches techniques de santé−sécurité (FTSS) et les instruc-

tions du fabricant concernant les métaux, les consommables, les
revêtements, les nettoyants et les dégraisseurs.

D Ne travailler dans un espace clos que s’il est bien ventilé ou porter un

respirateur à adduction d’air. Demander toujours à un surveillant dû­ment formé de se tenir à proximité. Des fumées et des gaz de soudage
peuvent se substituer à l’air, abaisser la teneur en oxygène et causer
des lésions ou des accidents mortels. S’assurer que l’air est respira­ble.

D Ne pas souder à proximité d’opérations de dégraissage, de nettoyage

ou de pulvérisation. La chaleur et les rayons de l’arc peuvent réagir en
présence de vapeurs et former des gaz hautement toxiques et irri­tants.

D Ne pas souder de métaux munis d’un revêtement, tels que la tôle

d’acier galvanisée, plombée ou cadmiée, à moins que le revêtement
n’ait été enlevé dans la zone de soudage, que l’endroit soit bien venti­lé, et si nécessaire, porter un respirateur à adduction d’air. Les
revêtements et tous les métaux renfermant ces éléments peuvent dé­gager des fumées toxiques lorsqu’on les soude.

OM-214 608 Page 5

LES RAYONS DE L’ARC peuvent cau­ser des brûlures oculaires et cuta­nées.

Le rayonnement de l’arc génère des rayons visibles et
invisibles intenses (ultraviolets et infrarouges) suscep­tibles de causer des brûlures oculaires et cutanées.
Des étincelles sont projetées pendant le soudage.

D Porter un masque de soudage muni d’un filtre de la nuance adéquate

pour se protéger le visage et les yeux pendant le soudage ou pour re­garder (voir les normes de sécurité ANSI Z49.1 et Z87.1).

D Porter des lunettes de sécurité à écrans latéraux sous le masque.
D Utiliser des écrans ou des barrières pour protéger les tiers de l’éclat

éblouissant ou aveuglant de l’arc ; leur demander de ne pas regarder
l’arc.

D Porter des vêtements de protection en matière durable et ignifuge

(cuir ou laine) et des chaussures de sécurité.

LE SOUDAGE peut causer un incen­die ou une explosion.

Le soudage effectué sur des récipients fermés tels que
des réservoirs, des fûts ou des conduites peut causer
leur éclatement. Des étincelles peuvent être projetées

pièces chaudes et les équipements chauds peuvent causer des
incendies et des brûlures. Le contact accidentel de l’électrode avec tout
objet métallique peut causer des étincelles, une explosion, un surchauf­fement ou un incendie. Avant de commencer le soudage, vérifier et
s’assurer que l’endroit ne présente pas de danger.

D Se protéger et protéger les tiers de la projection d’étincelles et de mé-

tal chaud.

D Ne pas souder à un endroit où des étincelles peuvent tomber sur des

substances inflammables.

D Placer toutes les substances inflammables à une distance de 10,7 m

de l’arc de soudage. En cas d’impossibilité, les recouvrir soigneuse­ment avec des protections agréées.

D Des étincelles et des matières en fusion peuvent facilement passer

même par des fissures et des ouvertures de petites dimensions.

D Surveiller tout déclenchement d’incendie et tenir un extincteur à proxi-

mité.

D Le soudage effectué sur un plafond, un plancher, une paroi ou une

cloison peut déclencher un incendie de l’autre côté.

D Ne pas souder des récipients fermés tels que des réservoirs, des fûts

ou des conduites, à moins qu’ils n’aient été préparés conformément à
l’AWS F4.1 (voir les normes de sécurité).

D Brancher le câble sur la pièce le plus près possible de la zone de sou-

dage pour éviter que le courant ne circule sur une longue distance, par
des chemins inconnus, et ne cause des risques d’électrocution et d’in­cendie.

D Ne pas utiliser le poste de soudage pour dégeler des conduites ge-

lées.

D En cas de non utilisation, enlever la baguette d’électrode du porte−

électrode ou couper le fil au raz du tube−contact.

2-5. Information sur les champs électromagnétiques

Données sur le soudage électrique et les effets des champs magnéti­ques basse fréquence sur l’organisme

En parcourant les câbles de soudage, le courant crée des champs élec­tromagnétiques. Les effets potentiels de tels champs restent
préoccupants. Cependant, après avoir examiné plus de 500 études qui
ont été faites pendant une période de recherche de 17 ans, un comité
de spécialistes du National Research Council a conclu : « L’accumula­tion de preuves n’a pas démontré que l’exposition aux champs
magnétiques et aux champs électriques à haute fréquence constitue un
risque pour la santé humaine ». Toutefois, les études et l’examen des
preuves se poursuivent. En attendant les conclusions finales de la re­cherche, il serait souhaitable de réduire l’exposition aux champs
électromagnétiques pendant le soudage ou le coupage.

Afin de réduire les champs électromagnétiques en milieu de travail, res­pecter les consignes suivantes :

1. Garder les câbles ensemble en les torsadant ou en les fixant avec du

ruban adhésif.

2. Mettre tous les câbles du côté opposé à l’opérateur.

3. Ne pas s’enrouler les câbles autour du corps.

4. Garder le poste de soudage et les câbles le plus loin possible de soi.

5. Placer la pince de masse le plus près possible de la zone de soudage.

Consignes relatives aux stimulateurs cardiaques :

Les personnes qui portent un stimulateur cardiaque doivent avant tout
consulter leur médecin. Si ce dernier les déclare aptes, il leur est recom­mandé de respecter les consignes ci-dessus.

SECTION 20 − E-MAIL FILES

20-1. Location Of E-mail Files On PDA

E-mail File (Prog, Config, and Backup) provides a location to store individual files for sending or receiving using an
e-mail website.

The 3 e-mail locations, Prog, Config, and Backup, should only be considered as temporary storage locations. This
means these files can only be “cut”, “undeleted”, copied and pasted, and viewed using Detail File. To keep or use any of
these files, they should be moved into one of the Palm Group [i.e. Palm Prog (PP file), Palm Config (PC file), or Palm
Backup (PB file)].

Turn on PDA. Use stylus to tap WaveWriter program (see Figure 20-1).
Tap All in upper right portion of display.

John Smith

Figure 20-13. Selecting The HotSync Operation

If this is the first time running HotSync, a user name must be entered. Choosing a user name will affect how the user file
will appear in the PC program. Some examples of how the user appears are as follows:

If a user name is John Smith, the PC file name will be SmithJ. The Palm file selects the first six letters of the last name
and first letter of the first name. Smith is five letters long, so the Palm file selects the entire last name and the first letter
of the the first name.

If a user name is John L Smith, the PC file name will be LJ. The letter L will be considered the last name which is only a
single letter and then the first letter of the first name.

Once the HotSync process is done, the Welder Prog file, 52ST MIG, will be transferred to the PC.
To locate the transferred file, open Windows Explorer and select the path as follows:
c:\Program Files\Palm\SmithJ\Backup\M_Email_Prog1_DB.PDB
The file named M_Email_Prog1_DB.PDB contains the Welder Prog file 52ST MIG.
If the e-mail file location had been EP2, the file containing the weld program would be M_Email_Prog2_DB.PDB and

the same applies to EP3 and EP4. Remember to select the correct file name that contains the weld program to be sent
by e-mail.

If this were for a Config File the file name would be M_Email_Config_DB.PDB that contained the Config File. Also, If
this were for a Backup File the file name would be M_Email_Backup_DB.PDB that contained the Backup File.

Open the e-mail software on the PC and select M_Email_Prog1_DB.PDB as the attachment file. Select send to e−mail
the file to the desired destination.

OM-214 608 Page 89

20-3. Receiving A PDA Program By E−mail

NOTE

Files received by e−mail will be placed in the same location at the destination as it
was sent from by the source. As an example, If a Welder Prog file was sent from
EP1 in the e−mail Prog File list from the source, it will be received at EP1 in the
e−mail Prog File list at the destination. This means if a file is currently in this
location on the PDA, it will be overwritten when another file is received during the
HotSync operation. To keep or use any of these files, they should be moved into
one of the Palm Group [Palm Prog (PP file), Palm Config (PC file), or Palm Backup
(PB file)].

To receive a file by e-mail (e.g. Welder Prog File), proceed as follows:
Open the e-mail software on the PC and find the e−mail message that contains M_Email_Prog1_DB.PDB as the

attachment file sent from the source.
If the e-mail file location had been EP2, the file containing the weld program would be M_Email_Prog2_DB.PDB and

the same applies to EP3 and EP4.
If this were for a Config File the file name would be M_Email_Config_DB.PDB that contained the Config File. Also, If

this were for a Backup File the file name would be M_Email_Backup_DB.PDB that contained the Backup File.
Either double click on the attachment file or right click and select “Open With...” and open the file with palmOne Quick

Install software. A “Confirm Add” message should appear on screen indicating the file M−Email_Prog1_DB.PDB will
be placed on your handheld during the next HotSync operation.

Select OK to remove the message.
If more than one user is assigned to the palmOne Quick Install program, be sure that the correct user name for the

receiving PDA appears in the “User” selection box in the upper right hand portion of the display.
Disconnect the serial interface cable from the welding power source and connect to the serial port on the PC.
Connect the PDA and turn it on.
The HotSync operation can be performed by using different methods. Either press the Hotsync button on the serial

interface cable connector at the PDA or tap Card in the upper right hand portion of the display, tap All and tap the
HotSync program.

exclusion may not apply to you. This warranty provides specific
legal rights, and other rights may be available, but may vary
from state to state.

additional warranties or remedies other than as stated herein,
