Carefully read and understand this manual and any label attached to the tool before use. Keep these instructions with the product for future reference. Ensure all persons who use this product are fully acquainted with this manual.

Even when used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk factors. Use with caution. If you are at all unsure of the correct and safe manner in which to use this tool, do not attempt to use it.

General Power Tool Safety Warnings

WARNING Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, ﬁre and/or serious injury.

Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.

The term "power tool" in the warnings refers to your mains-operated (corded) power tool or battery-operated (cordless) power tool.

Work Area Safety

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents b) Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ﬂammable liquids, gases or dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes

c) Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool.

Distractions can cause you to lose control

Electrical Safety

a) Power tool plugs must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any

way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) power tools. Unmodiﬁed plugs and matching outlets will reduce risk of electric

shock

b) Avoid body contact with earthed or grounded surfaces, such as pipes,

radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric

shock if your body is earthed or grounded

c) Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a

power tool will increase the risk of electric shock

d) Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or

unplugging the power tool. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric

shock

e) When operating a power tool outdoors, use an extension cord suitable

for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of

electric shock

f) If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, use a

residual current device (RCD) protected supply. Use of an RCD reduces

the risk of electric shock

NOTE: The term “residual current device (RCD)” may be replaced by the term “ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI)” or “earth leakage circuit breaker (ELCB)”.

Personal Safety

a) Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when

operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while you are tired or under the inﬂuence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of

inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury

b) Use personal protective equipment. Always wear eye protection.

Protective equipment such as dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal injuries

c) Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the switch is in the off-position

before connecting to power source and/or battery pack, picking up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your ﬁnger on the switch or

energising power tools that have the switch on invites accidents

d) Remove any adjusting key or wrench before turning the power tool on.

A wrench or a key left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result in personal injury

e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This

enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations

f) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair,

clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts

g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use

of dust collection can reduce dust-related hazards

Power Tool Use & Care

a) Do not force the power tool. Use the correct power tool for your

application. The correct power tool will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which it was designed

Arc Welder677293

b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any

power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired

c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack

from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures

reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally

d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow

persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users

e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools

f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with

sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control

g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with

these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from

those intended could result in a hazardous situation

Service

a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualiﬁed repair person using only

identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power

tool is maintained

Welding Safety

• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the work area. Always work in a well ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding fumes and use a suitable respirator where appropriate.

• Some metal parts may have galvanised, lead, cadmium, or other coatings. Attempting to weld through these coatings can produce highly toxic fumes. Always remove all coatings before welding.

• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat, or eyes whilst welding, STOP IMMEDIATELY and seek fresh air.

• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye damage, ALWAYS wear an approved welding face mask. Under no circumstances look directly at the arc

• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect suitable screening to protect them from the light / glare.

• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable ﬁre-proof long sleeve jacket, heat proof gloves, and cap. Keep covered up.

• Always remove any ﬂammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches) from your clothing before welding.

• Always keep a ﬁre extinguisher nearby when welding. Sparks and accidental contacts can cause ﬁres.

• Only weld when all workpieces and work area are dry.

• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums).

• The heat generated from welding can cause sealed containers to burst without warning.

• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from the work area, and cause ignition of ﬂammable materials.

• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining.

• Allow to cool fully before handling or leaving unattended.

• Never weld in the presence of ﬂammable gasses, liquids, or dust

• Always ensure that you have a responsible person nearby to alert you to any ﬁre, or to call help in an emergency.

• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic ﬁelds. This may disturb the operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker wearers should consult a doctor before using a welding machine.

• Do not overload power supply. Check your mains wiring is capable of delivering the required currents (see speciﬁcation) safely.

• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool

Assembly

Assembling the mask

1. Carefully slot the handle into the ﬁxing slots on the mask. Ensure both

nibs engage for a secure ﬁt

2. Remove protective wrapping from the visor and slot the visor into

place. Take care not to scratch the visor, and ensure the visor engages fully with the clips so that it fully covers the viewing panel and cannot be dislodged

Connecting to a Power Supply

• ONLY connect this welder to a power supply capable of providing the speciﬁed voltage

• If connecting to a generator, check the speciﬁcation of the generator ﬁrst

Before Use

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job that you are to do. Use of this machine requires a welding mask, gloves, heat resistant clothing and, if appropriate, a respirator

• Always ensure that you have an appropriate ﬁre extinguisher near to the work area

• Always inspect your machine for damage or wear. Pay particular attention to leads and cables. If any damage is found DO NOT USE

• Check that all casings or covers are properly closed and secured

• Position the welder to ensure that it will not move, or tip, in use. Ensure that there is at least 500mm of clear space around the welder, to allow proper ventilation

Operating Instructions

Warning: Always unplug the welding machine from the mains supply and allow to cool fully before attempting to ﬁt or replace any part

Setting the machine

• To achieve a good quality weld the Current Control Knob (1) must be set correctly

• Turning the control knob clockwise will increase the welding current, turning the knob anti-clockwise will reduce the welding current

Welding rod selection

• In order to produce a good quality weld, the correct type of welding rod must be used. Welding rods are available in a variety of thicknesses and materials, and with a range of coatings

• Refer to rod manufacturers guidelines to select the correct rod for your requirements

Duty Cycle

• This machine is not designed to weld constantly. Excessive continuous welding will cause overheating and damage to internal components

www.silverlinetools.com

• The duty cycle (see speciﬁcations) deﬁnes the number of minutes, in every ten minutes, that the machine can weld

• For a duty cycle of 30%, the machine may be used for 3 minutes, then must be allowed 7 minutes to cool

• If the duty cycle is exceeded, the machine will automatically cut out

• Using the machine at reduced current settings and maintaining good ventilation will maximise the duty cycle

Thermal cut-out

• This machine is equipped with a thermal cut-out. If the machine is overloaded, or used beyond its duty cycle, it will automatically shut down

• Allow the machine to cool. The cut-out will automatically reset once the machine is ready for use

Preparing to weld

• Ensure that parts to be joined are clean, and free from rust, paint, or other ﬁnishes

• All parts should be well supported, with a gap of approximately 1mm where you intend to form the welded joint

• Check that there are no ﬂammable materials in the vicinity of the work area

• Attach the Earth Clamp (5) to a cleaned area of one of the parts, as near as practical to where the joint will be

• Squeeze the Electrode Clamp (4), to open the jaws. Place an electrode into the jaws, and release. The electrode should be ﬁrmly gripped, with the clamp contacting the clean metal part (not the coated part)

• Ensure that there is a responsible person, and an operable ﬁre extinguisher at hand

• Connect the machine to the mains power supply

Welding

WARNING: Using a welder correctly is a technical skill. A welder used incorrectly can be highly dangerous. The information presented below is general guidance only. If you are not entirely

• Move the Power Switch (3) to the 'ON' position

• Hold the Electrode Clamp (4) in one hand, and the face mask in the other

• Position the rod at an angle of approx 80˚ to the surface, with the tip is approx 30mm away from the metal

• Hold the mask over your face, and tap the rod against the metal

• An arc should strike between the metal, and the tip. Try to hold the tip of the rod a distance away from the metal equal to the rod thickness. Maintain the arc for 1-2 seconds, then move the rod away

• Allow the weld to cool slightly, and move the mask away from your face. If the settings were correct, a round 'spot' weld should have formed

• If the weld has not fully penetrated the metal, increase the current setting. If a hole has been made in the metal, reduce the current setting

• Practice making 'spot' welds until you are conﬁdent using the machine, and selecting settings

• To form a 'seam' weld, maintain the arc for longer, and slowly move the rod forward at the same time. The speed at which the rod is moved is crucial to achieving a good weld

• If the machine settings are correct, the arc should be steady, and produce a crackling sound. Be aware that you will have to gradually move the electrode clamp closer to the metal as the rod is used up

• Once the weld bead is complete, remove excess and splatters using a chipping hammer or wire brush. Do not attempt to weld over beads unless properly cleaned

• Creating neat, high quality welds is a skill that takes time to master. Practice and good preparation will help to make satisfactory welds

Troubleshooting

Should you experience any problem with the welder please make the following checks:-

• That the welding current is correct for the diameter and type of electrode in use

• That if the power supply is on, the power indicator light in the ON/OFF switch is on. If the power indicator light is not on there is a power supply problem (for example a circuit breaker may have blown)

• That the correct voltage is being used as indicated on the rating plate

• That you have not exceeded the duty cycle and the thermal cut-out is in operation

• That the cables are undamaged and that there is nothing causing a short circuit

• That all circuit connections are correct. You should pay particular attention to the work clamp, making sure that it is correctly attached to the workpiece and that there is no grease, paint or other contaminate that could cause a bad connection

Maintenance

WARNING: Always remove the plug from the mains power supply before carrying out any maintenance/cleaning.

Cleaning

• Keep your machine clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts to wear quickly, shortening the machine’s service life. Clean the body of your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth. If available, use clean, dry, compressed air to blow through the ventilation holes

Disposal

• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic equipment, with household waste

• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the proper way to dispose of tools

Consignes générales de sécurité relatives aux appareils électriques

AVERTISSEMENT Veuillez lire l’intégralité des consignes de sécurité et des instructions. Le non-respect de ces consignes et instructions peut entraîner un

risque de choc électrique, d’incendie et/ou se traduire par des blessures graves

Veuillez conserver ces instructions et consignes de sécurité pour référence ultérieure.

L’expression « appareil électrique » employée dans les présentes consignes recouvre aussi bien les appareils ﬁlaires à brancher sur le secteur que les appareils sans ﬁls fonctionnant sous batterie.

Sécurité sur la zone de travail

a) Maintenir une zone de travail propre et bien éclairée. Des zones

encombrées et mal éclairées sont sources d’accidents.

b) Ne pas utiliser d’outils électriques dans des environnements explosifs,

tels qu’à proximité de liquides, de gaz ou de poussières inﬂammables.

Les appareils électriques produisent des étincelles susceptibles d’enﬂammer la poussière ou les vapeurs présentes.

c) Eloigner les enfants et les passants pendant l’utilisation d’un appareil

électrique. Ceux-ci peuvent provoquer une perte d’attention et faire perdre

la maîtrise de l’appareil.

Sécurité électrique

a) Voir ‘Branchement sur le secteur’ pour s’informer des conditions de

sécurité lorsque que vous branchez votre appareil sur le secteur. Ne pas

suivre les consignes peut engendrer un accident fatal.

b) Eviter le contact corporel avec les surfaces mises à la terre telles que

tuyaux, radiateurs, cuisinières et réfrigérateurs. Le risque de décharge électrique est plus important si le corps est mis à la terre.

c) Ne pas exposer l’appareil électrique à la pluie ou à l’humidité.

L’inﬁltration d’eau dans un appareil électrique accroît le risque de décharge électrique.

d) Ne pas maltraiter le cordon électrique. Ne jamais utiliser le cordon

électrique pour porter, tirer ou débrancher l’appareil. Protéger le cordon électrique de la chaleur, du contact avec l’essence, des bords tranchants et pièces rotatives. Un cordon électrique endommagé ou

entortillé accroît le risque de décharge électrique.

Sécurité des personnes

a) Rester vigilent et faire preuve de bon sens lors de la manipulation de

l’appareil. Ne pas utiliser un appareil électrique lorsque l’on se trouve dans un état de fatigue, ou sous l’inﬂuence de drogues, d’alcool ou de médicaments. Un moment d’inattention pendant l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique peut se traduire par des blessures graves.

b) Porter un équipement de protection approprié. Toujours porter une

protection oculaire. Le port de masque à poussières, chaussures de

sécurité antidérapantes, casque de sécurité et protections antibruit adaptés aux différentes conditions de travail réduit le risque de blessures corporelles.

c) Eviter tout démarrage accidentel. S’assurer que l’interrupteur

marche-arrêt soit en position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’appareil sur l’alimentation secteur ou d’installer la batterie, de prendre l’appareil ou de le transporter. Porter un appareil électrique tout en maintenant le doigt

posé sur l’interrupteur ou brancher un appareil électrique dont l’interrupteur est sur la position de marche est source d’accidents.

d) Enlever toute clé et tout instrument de réglage avant de mettre

l’appareil électrique en marche. Une clé ou un instrument de réglage

laissé ﬁxé à un élément en rotation de l’appareil électrique peut entraîner des blessures physiques.

e) Ne pas essayer d’atteindre une zone hors de portée. Se tenir toujours

en position stable permettant de conserver l’équilibre. Cela permet de

mieux contrôler l’appareil électrique dans des situations inattendues.

f) Porter des vêtements appropriés. Ne pas porter de vêtements amples

ou des bijoux pendants. Eloigner cheveux, vêtements et gants des pièces en mouvement. Les vêtements amples, les bijoux pendants et

cheveux longs peuvent être happés par les pièces en rotation.
