5. General precautions:

○ Make sure the return cable is connected securely

○ Work on high voltage equipment may only be carried out by a qualified

electrician

○ Appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be clearly marked and close at

hand

○ Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment during

operation

WARNING!

Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions

when welding and cutting.

ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill

• Install and ground the unit in accordance with instruction manual.

• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or

wet clothing.

• Insulate yourself from work and ground.

• Ensure your working position is safe

ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - Can be dangerous to health

• Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before welding.

EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.

• Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.

• Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to

EMF:

○ Route the electrode and work cables together on the same side of

your body. Secure them with tape when possible. Do not place your

body between the torch and work cables. Never coil the torch or work

cable around your body. Keep welding power source and cables as

far away from your body as possible.

○ Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the

area being welded.

FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health

• Keep your head out of the fumes.

• Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases

away from your breathing zone and the general area.

ARC RAYS - Can injure eyes and burn skin

• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens

and wear protective clothing.

• Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing

Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

1 SAFETY

0463 404 101 -7- © ESAB AB 2018

materials nearby.

• Do not use on closed containers.

MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

CAUTION!

This product is solely intended for arc welding.

WARNING!

If the maximum operating temperature of the battery (+60 °C) is exceeded, there

is a high risk of explosion!

WARNING!

2 INTRODUCTION

The Miggytrac™B501 and Miggytrac™B5001 are designed for MIG/MAG welding of plates

and beams.

The Miggytrac™B501 and Miggytrac™B5001 are compact tractors on which a welding

torch can be fitted. Both tractors can be powered with 18VDC from a lithium-ion battery. The

Miggytrac™B5001 can also be powered with 42VAC from a welding power source. The

tractors are equipped with four wheel drive for good traction and a high torque stepper motor

for stable welding speed. The Miggytrac™ is intended for welding with 4-stroke control mode.

As an option there is an easy fit magnet kit. The magnet kit can be attached at the bottom of

the tractor to further stabilize the movement when welding slopes up to 45°.

A battery and a battery charger are not included in the delivery, refer to the "ACCESSORIES"

chapter in this manual.

ESAB accessories for the product can be found in the "ACCESSORIES" chapter of

this manual.
