Introduction; Installation And Operator Instructions - Lincoln Electric COOLARC 46 Bedienungsanleitung

WELDING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION: Remove fire hazards from the welding area
and have a fire extinguisher readily available. Welding sparks and hot materials from the welding
process can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Do not weld on any tanks,
drums, containers, or material until the proper steps have been taken to insure that no flammable or
toxic vapors will be present. Never operate this equipment when flammable gases, vapors or liquid
combustibles are present.
WELDED MATERIALS CAN BURN: Welding generates a large amount of heat. Hot surfaces and
materials in work area can cause serious burns. Use gloves and pliers when touching or moving
materials in the work area.
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.
SAFETY MARK: This equipment is suitable for supplying power for welding operations carried out in an
environment with increased hazard of electric shock.
The manufacturer reserves the right to make changes and/or improvements in design without upgrade at the same time

system.
Recommended equipment, which can be bought by
user, was mentioned in the chapter "Accessories".
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
The COOLARC 46 could be supplied by welding power
source using 9-PIN socket.
To connect the input supply to the COOLARC 46, turn
off the power to the welding power source and
disconnect it from the input supply.
The allowable input voltages are 230V/400V, 50/60Hz.
Make sure that the supply voltage of the unit matches
the cooler's rated voltage.
Do not switch on the welding power source with the
cooler applied if the reservoir was not filled and the
torch's/gun's hoses are disconnected from the cooling
unit. The no observance of this warning may be cause
internal damages at the cooler unit.
