WARNING

Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating.

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

cutting. Ask for your employer's safety practices which should be based on manufacturers' hazard

data.

ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill

SDo not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.

SInsulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

SEnsure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health

SKeep your head out of the fumes.

SUse 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.

SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective

clothing.

SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.

NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing

SProtect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

SWarn bystanders of the risk.

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

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

WARNING

Do not use the power source for thawing frozen pipes.

CAUTION

This product is solely intended for arc welding.

CAUTION

Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where

the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system.

There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic

compatibility of class A equipment in those locations, due to conducted

as well as radiated disturbances.

CAUTION

Read and understand the instruction manual before

installing or operating.

Dispose of electronic equipment at the recycling facility!

In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical and/or

electronic equipment that has reached the end of its life must be disposed of at a

recycling facility.

As the person responsible for the equipment, it is your responsibility to obtain

information on approved collection stations.

For further information contact the nearest ESAB dealer.

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

2 INTRODUCTION

ESAB's accessories for the product can be found on page 19.

Mig C160i is a portable welding power source in a compact design, intended for

MIG/MAG welding.

It is possible to switch between welding with solid wire/shielding gas and welding

with selfshielded cored wire without gas.

The power source operates with wire diameters from ∅0.6 to ∅1.0 mm. Pure argon,

mixed gas or pure CO2may be used as shielding gases.

ESAB's accessories for the product can be found on page 19.

2.1 Equipment

The power source is supplied with:

SInstruction manual

SWelding gun MXL 180 (3m, fixed)

SReturn cable with clamp (3m, fixed)

SMains cable (3m, fixed, with plug)

SShoulder strap (see page 8)

SGas hose with quick connection (4.5m)

Enclosure class

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid

objects or water. Equipment marked IP23C is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

Application class

The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased

electrical hazard.

4 INSTALLATION

The installation must be carried out by a professional.

Note

Mains supply requirements

High power equipment may, due to the primary current drawn from the mains supply, influence the

power quality of the grid. Therefore connection restrictions or requirements regarding the

maximum permissible mains impedance or the required minimum supply capacity at the interface

point to the public grid may apply for some types of equipment (see technical data). In this case it

is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the

distribution network operator if necessary, that the equipment may be connected.

4.1 Lifting instruction

The power source is lifted by the handle or by the shoulder strap, supplied with the

power source. The strap is fastened as shown in the picture below.

4.2 Location

Position the welding power source in such a way that its cooling air inlets and outlets

are not obstructed.

4.3 Mains power supply

Check that the unit is connected to the correct mains power supply voltage, and that

it is protected by the correct fuse size. A protective earth connection must be made,

in accordance with regulations.

Fuse anti-surge 16 A

NOTE! The mains cable areas and fuse sizes as shown above are in accordance with Swedish

regulations. Use the power source in accordance with the relevant national regulations.

Extension cable

If needed, it is recommended to use an extension cable, 3x2.5 mm2,of a maximum

length of 50m.

Supply from power generators

The power source can be supplied from different types of generators. However,

some generators may not provide sufficient power for welding. The generators with

AVR, equivalent or better type of regulation with rated power 5.5...6.5 kW are

recommended to supply the power source within it's full capacity.

It is also possible to use generators with lower rated power, starting from 3.0kW, but

in that case the setting must be proportionally limited. The power source is protected

against undervoltage. If the power supplied by the generator is not sufficient, the

welding is interrupted. Especially the welding start could be disturbed. In case of

disturbed welding process, either adjust the welding parameters or change to a more

powerful generator.

5 OPERATION

General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found on

page 4. Read through before you start using the equipment!

NOTE: When moving the equipment use intended handle. Never pull on the gun.

WARNING

Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.

WARNING

Assure that the side panels are closed during operation.

WARNING

Risk of crushing when replacing the wire bobbin!

Do not use safety gloves when inserting the welding wire between the feed rollers.

WARNING!

Lock the bobbin in order to prevent it from

sliding off the hub.
