SAFETY

Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that

anyone who works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety

precautions. Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of

welding equipment. The following recommendations should be observed in addition to

the standard regulations that apply to the workplace.

Trained personnel well acquainted with the operation of the welding equipment must

carry out all the work. Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to hazardous

situations, which can result in injury to the operator and damage to the equipment.

1. Anyone who uses the welding equipment must be familiar with:

• its operation

• location of emergency stops

• its function

• relevant safety precautions

• welding

2. The operator must ensure that:

• no unauthorized person is stationed within the working area of the equipment

when it is started up.

• no one is unprotected when the arc is struck

3. The workplace must:

• be suitable for the purpose

• be free from drafts

4. Personal safety equipment

• Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses,

flameproof clothing, and safety gloves.

• Do not wear loose—fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which

could become trapped or cause burns.

5. General precautions

• Make sure the return cable is connected securely.

• Only a qualified electrician may carry out work on high voltage equipment.

• Appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be clearly marked and close at

hand.

• Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment during

operation.

Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating.

ESAB can provide you with all necessary welding protection and accessories.

WARNING

Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take

precautions when welding.

Ask for your employer’s safety practices which should be based on manufacturers’

hazard data.

ELECTRIC SHOCK – Can kill

• Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable

standards.

• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet

gloves or wet clothing.

• Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

• Ensure your working stance is safe.

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.

FIRE HAZARD

• Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no

inflammable materials nearby.

NOISE – Excessive noise can damage hearing

• Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

• Warn bystanders of the risk.

MALFUNCTION – Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

CAUTION!

This product is solely intended for arc welding

Do not dispose of electrical equipment together with normal waste!

In accordance with national law, electrical equipment that has

reached the end of its life must be collected separately and returned

to an environmentally compatible recycling facility. As the owner of

the equipment, you should get information on approved collection

systems from the local representative. By applying this Directive you

will improve the environment and human health

− Provide a Switch Box for every Welding Power Source, and use designated

fuse

− Tolerance of Power Voltage Variation is ±10% of rated input voltage.

− 100 Amps MCB to be used as alternative to SFU.

b) Installation place

− Install in the place where less moisture and dust exist. Avoid direct sunlight and

rain, and maintain ambient temperature within –10o to 45o C as much as

possible.

− Keep the welding power source at least 20 cm. away from the wall (if any).

− In case of installation of more two units side by side, a distance of more than 20

cm. is recommended between the two power sources.

− Keep the Gas Cylinder on a separate stand.

− Use a shield to protect the welding arc in case of excessive air draft.

c) Ventilation

Adequate ventilation is recommended at the place of installation. For

example the following guideline should be followed:

a) In case of the area is more than 300 square meters (per unit), no

ventilation is required, provided the room is not completely air tight.

b) In case of the area is less than 300 square meters, the torch is used in

fixed condition and the welding is continuously performed, adequate

ventilation is recommended with the help of vent fan or exhaust duct.

E. INSTALLATION ITEMS OF AK 400 / AK 600

While performing the grounding work, it is recommended that a skilled electrician does

the work.

F. WELDING OPERATIONS

The welding operation can be adjusted from the front operation panel of the power

source and remote control unit.

Gas Supply:

To check the gas supply before welding, set the SHIELD GAS switch to CHECK

position. The shielding gas will start flowing. After confirmation, release the switch and

it will automatically return to WELD position.

Welding method:

Set the switch at CO2or Ar-CO2depending on the Shielding Gas used for GMA

welding.

Self hold:

When the Self hold / Crater switch is ON, the arc is produced while the torch switch is

ON and then the self hold is maintained even though the torch switch is turned OFF,

and the crater control condition will start functioning if the torch switch is triggered ‘ON’

for the second time.

Crater control function

An Arc Crater normally formed at the end of the welding can be filled without any

defect by adjusting the crater current and crater voltage knobs on the front panel of

the Power Source.

Remote Control unit

Adjust welding voltage and current from the Remote Control Unit as per following

guidelines:

a) Welding Current Adjustment:

Set the welding current by turning the current adjustment knob and adjust at

the proper graduated value of the current. However, for fine-tuning, set the

welding current from the ammeter in the front panel of the Power Source, by

generating an experimental Arc.
