Installation And Operator Instructions - Lincoln Electric POWER MIG 180C CE Bedienungsanleitung

EQUIPMENT WEIGHT OVER 30kg: Move this equipment with care and with the help of another
person. Lifting may be dangerous for your physical health.
CYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED: Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the
correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and
pressure used. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to a fixed support. Do
not move or transport gas cylinders with the protection cap removed. Do not allow the electrode,
electrode holder, work clamp or any other electrically live part to touch a gas cylinder. Gas cylinders
must be located away from areas where they may be subjected to physical damage or the welding
process including sparks and heat sources.

Installation and Operator Instructions

Read this entire section before installation or operation
of the machine.
Location and Environment
The welder POWER MIG 180C (CE) will operate in
harsh environments. Even so, it is important that simple
preventative measures are followed in order to assure
long life and reliable operation.
•
Place the machine directly on a secure, level
surface or on a recommended undercarriage. The
machine may topple over if this procedure is not
followed.
•
Do not use this machine for pipe thawing.
• The machine must be located where there is free
circulation of clean air such that air movement in the
back, out the sides and bottom will not be restricted.
•
Dirt and dust that can be drawn into the machine
should be kept to a minimum. Failure to observe
these precautions can result in excessive operating
temperatures and nuisance shutdown.
•
Keep machine dry. Shelter from rain and snow. Do
not place on wet ground or in puddles
•
This machine has a protection rating of IP21S.
•
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.
DO NOT MOUNT OVER COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES.
Where there is a combustible surface directly under
stationary or fixed electrical
be covered with a steel plate at least 1.6mm thick, which
shall extend not less than 150mm beyond the equipment
on all sides.
Stacking
POWER MIG 180C (CE) cannot be stacked.
Input and Grounding Connections
Only a qualified electrician should connect the Invertec
POWER MIG 180C (CE). Installation should be made in
accordance with the appropriate IEC standards, all local
codes and the information detailed below.
Check the Input Voltage, Phase, and Frequency
supplied to this machine before turning it on. The

WARNING
equipment, that surface shall
allowable Input Voltage is indicated in the technical
specification section of this manual and on the rating
plate of the machine. Be sure that the machine is
grounded.
Make sure the power available at the input connection is
adequate for normal operation of the machine. The fuse
rating and cable sizes are both indicated in the technical
specification section of this manual.
OPERATION
Product Description & Duty Cycle
These small portable wire feed welders are capable of
MIG welding on steel, stainless steel, and aluminum.
They are also capable of flux-cored welding on mild
steel.
MIG welding stands for Metal Inert Gas welding and
requires a separate bottle of shielding gas to protect the
weld until it cools. Appropriate shielding gas based on
the type of material you are welding can be purchased
separately from your local welding gas distributor. MIG
welding is ideal for welding on thinner and clean
materials when a very clean excellent cosmetic looking
weld is required. An example would be automotive body
panels.
Flux-cored Welding does not require separate shielding
gas to protect the weld since the welding wire has
special additives known as flux to protect the weld until it
cools. Flux-cored welding is ideal for medium to thicker
material and if welding on painted or rusty steel. Flux-
cored welding is also ideal in outdoor applications where
windy conditions might blow the MIG shielding gas away
from the weld. Flux-cored welding produces a good
looking weld but does not produce an excellent weld
appearance as MIG welding does.
Your machine includes the necessary items to weld with
either the MIG or the flux-cored welding process on
steel. To weld on stainless steel optional stainless steel
welding wire can be purchased separately. This
machine can weld aluminum using 0.9mm diameter
4043 aluminum welding wire. Since aluminum welding
wire is soft an optional aluminum spool gun is
recommended for best results. A welding Procedure
Decal is located inside machine door to help provide
suggested settings for welding.
