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

necessary. Reinstall panels or covers and close doors when service is
finished and before starting engine.
• Stop engine before installing or connecting unit.
• Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and tools away from moving parts.
FIRE HAZARD
• Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure that there are no inflammable
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!
Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.
CAUTION!
Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential
locations where the electrical power is provided by the
public low-voltage supply system. There may be potential
difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility of class
A equipment in those locations, due to conducted as well
as radiated disturbances.

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 18VDC from a lithium-ion battery. The
Miggytrac™B5001 can also be powered with 42VAC 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.
