This is for your personal safety!

Intended use The devices and components described in these Operating Instructions are intended

exclusively for automated MIG/MAG applications in conjunction with Fronius compon-

ents.

Any use above and beyond this purpose is deemed improper. The manufacturer shall not

be held liable for any damage arising from such usage.

Proper use also includes:

- Carefully reading and following all the instructions given in the Operating Instructions

- Studying and obeying all safety instructions and danger notices carefully

- Performing all stipulated inspection and servicing work

The manufacturer likewise accepts no liability for inadequate or incorrect results.

Environmental

conditions

Operation or storage of the device outside the stipulated area will be deemed as not in

accordance with the intended purpose. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any

damage arising from such usage.

Ambient temperature range:

- during operation: -10 °C to + 40 °C (14 °F to 104 °F)

- during transport and storage: -20 °C to +55 °C (-4 °F to 131 °F)

Relative humidity:

- up to 50% at 40 °C (104 °F)

- up to 90% at 20 °C (68 °F)

The surrounding air must be free from dust, acids, corrosive gases or substances, etc.

Can be used at altitudes of up to 2000 m (6561 ft. 8.16 in.)

Obligations of the

operator

The operator must only allow persons to work with the device who:

- are familiar with the fundamental instructions regarding safety at work and accident

prevention and have been instructed in how to use the device

- have read and understood these operating instructions, especially the section

"safety rules", and have confirmed as much with their signatures

- are trained to produce the required results.

Checks must be carried out at regular intervals to ensure that operators are working in a

safety-conscious manner.

Obligations of

personnel

Before using the device, all persons instructed to do so undertake:

- to observe the basic instructions regarding safety at work and accident prevention

- to read these operating instructions, especially the "Safety rules" section and sign to

confirm that they have understood them and will follow them.

Before leaving the workplace, ensure that people or property cannot come to any harm

in your absence.

Mains connection Devices with a higher rating may affect the energy quality of the mains due to their cur-

rent consumption.

This may affect a number device types in terms of:

- Connection restrictions

-Criteria with regard to the maximum permissible mains impedance *)

-Criteria with regard to the minimum short-circuit power requirement *)

*) at the interface with the public grid

see "Technical data"

In this case, the plant operator or the person using the device should check whether the

device may be connected, where appropriate by discussing the matter with the power

supply company.

IMPORTANT! Ensure that the mains connection is earthed properly

Protecting your-

self and others

Anyone working with the device exposes themselves to numerous risks, e.g.

- flying sparks and hot pieces of metal

- Arc radiation, which can damage eyes and skin

- Hazardous electromagnetic fields, which can endanger the lives of those using car-

diac pacemakers

- Risk of electrocution from mains current and welding current

- Greater noise pollution

- Harmful welding fumes and gases

Suitable protective clothing must be worn when working with the device. The protective

clothing must have the following properties:

- Flame-resistant

- Insulating and dry

- Covers the whole body, is undamaged and in good condition

- Safety helmet

- Trousers with no turn-ups

Protective clothing refers to a variety of different items. Operators should:

- Protect eyes and face from UV rays, heat and sparks using a protective visor and

regulation filter

- Wear regulation protective goggles with side protection behind the protective visor

- Wear stout footwear that provides insulation even in wet conditions

- Protect the hands with suitable gloves (electrically insulated and providing protection

against heat)

- Wear ear protection to reduce the harmful effects of noise and to prevent injury

Keep all persons, especially children, out of the working area while any devices are in

operation or welding is in progress. If, however, there are people in the vicinity:

- Make them aware of all the dangers (risk of dazzling by the arc, injury from flying

sparks, harmful welding fumes, noise, possible risks from mains current and welding

current, etc.)

- Provide suitable protective equipment

- Alternatively, erect suitable safety screens/curtains.

Danger from

toxic gases and

vapours

The fumes produced during welding contain harmful gases and vapours.

Welding fumes contain substances that cause cancer, as stated in Monograph 118 of the

International Agency for Research on Cancer.

Use at-source extraction and a room extraction system.

If necessary, use a welding torch with an integrated extraction device.

Keep your face away from welding fumes and gases.

Fumes and hazardous gases

- must not be breathed in

- must be extracted from the working area using appropriate methods.

Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air. Ensure that there is a ventilation rate of at least

20 m³ per hour at all times.

Otherwise, a welding helmet with an air supply must be worn.

If there is any doubt about whether the extraction capacity is sufficient, the measured

toxic emission values should be compared with the permissible limit values.

The following components are responsible, amongst other things, for the degree of tox-

icity of welding fumes:

- Metals used for the workpiece

- Electrodes

- Coatings

- Cleaners, degreasers, etc.

- Welding process used

The relevant material safety data sheets and manufacturer's specifications for the listed

components should therefore be studied carefully.

Recommendations for trade fair scenarios, risk management measures and for identify-

ing working conditions can be found on the European Welding Association website under

Health & Safety (https://european-welding.org).

Flammable vapours (e.g. solvent fumes) should be kept away from the arc's radiation

area.

Close the shielding gas cylinder valve or main gas supply if no welding is taking place.

Danger from fly-

ing sparks

Flying sparks may cause fires or explosions.

Never weld close to flammable materials.

Flammable materials must be at least 11 metres (36 ft. 1.07 in.) away from the arc, or

alternatively covered with an approved cover.

A suitable, tested fire extinguisher must be available and ready for use.

Sparks and pieces of hot metal may also get into adjacent areas through small gaps or

openings. Take appropriate precautions to prevent any danger of injury or fire.

Welding must not be performed in areas that are subject to fire or explosion or near

sealed tanks, vessels or pipes unless these have been prepared in accordance with the

relevant national and international standards.

Do not carry out welding on containers that are being or have been used to store gases,

propellants, mineral oils or similar products. Residues pose an explosive hazard.

Risks from mains

current and weld-

ing current

An electric shock is potentially life threatening and can be fatal.

Do not touch live parts either inside or outside the device.

During MIG/MAG welding and TIG welding, the welding wire, the wirespool, the feed

rollers and all pieces of metal that are in contact with the welding wire are live.

Always set the wirefeeder up on a sufficiently insulated surface or use a suitable, insu-

lated wirefeeder holder.

Make sure that you and others are protected with an adequately insulated, dry base or

cover for the earth or ground potential. This base or cover must extend over the entire

area between the body and the earth or ground potential.

All cables and leads must be secured, undamaged, insulated and adequately dimen-

sioned. Replace loose connections and scorched, damaged, or inadequately dimen-

sioned cables and leads immediately.
