Installation And Operator Instructions - Lincoln Electric HANDY MIG Bedienungsanleitung

SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in
an environment with increased hazard of electric shock.

Installation and Operator Instructions

Read this entire section before installation or operation
of the machine.
General Description
The machine is a semiautomatic constant voltage DC
arc welder. The machine uses a single phase constant
voltage transformer, solid state rectifier and a DC
permanent magnet motor for feeding and welding solid
steel electrode and flux-cored electrode (for HANDY
MIG) and only flux-cored electrode (for HANDY CORE).
This machine is ideally suited for individuals having
access to 230 volt AC input power and wanting the
ease of use, quality and dependability of both metal
inert gas (MIG) welding and the Innershield electrode
process (self-shielded flux-cored welding). The
machine will handle reels of wire up to 1 Kg.
Location and Environment
This machine will operate in harsh environments.
However, it is important that simple preventative
measures are followed to assure long life and reliable
operation.

Do not place or operate this machine on a surface
with an incline greater than 15° from horizontal.

This machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air without restrictions for air
movement to and from the air vents. Do not cover
the machine with paper, cloth or rags when
switched on.

Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum.

This machine has a protection rating of IP21. Keep
it dry when possible and do not place it on wet
ground or in puddles.

Locate the machine away from radio controlled
machinery. Normal operation may adversely affect
the operation of nearby radio controlled machinery,
which may result in injury or equipment damage.
Read the section on electromagnetic compatibility
in this manual.

Do not operate in areas with an ambient
temperature greater than 40°C.
Input Supply Connection
Check the input voltage, phase, and frequency supplied
to this machine before turning it on. The allowable input
voltage is indicated in the technical specification section
of this manual and on the rating plate of the machine.
Verify the connection of grounding wires from the
machine to the input source.
Make sure the amount of power available from the input
connection is adequate for normal operation of the
machine. The necessary fuse and cable sizes are
indicated in the technical specification section of this
manual.
Shielding Gas Connection (only for
Handy MIG)
When using the MIG process, a cylinder of shielding
gas (appropriate for the metal being welded) must be
obtained.
1. Chain the cylinder to a wall or other stationary
support to prevent the cylinder from the work circuit
and earth ground.
2. With the cylinder securely installed, remove the
cylinder cup. Stand to one side away from the
outlet and open the cylinder valve very slightly for
an instant. This blows away any dust or dirty which
may have accumulated in the valve outlet. Install
the regulator on the gas cylinder.
3. Attach one end of the inlet hose to the output of the
regulator secure with hose clamp. Connect the
other end to the Gas Inlet Fitting on the machine
and secure with hose clamp. Make certain the gas
inlet hose is not kinked or twisted.
