ADDITIONALPRECAUTIONS
- WELDINGOPERATIONS:
- Inenvironmentswithincreasedriskofelectricshock;
- Inconnedspaces;
- Inthepresenceofinammableorexplosivematerial;
MUST ALWAYS be evaluated in advance by an “Expert
supervisor”andmustalwaysbecarriedoutinthepresence
ofotherpeopletrainedinemergencyprocedures.
The technical protection means described in sections 7.10;
A.8;A.10.of“Part9:Installationanduse”ofthe“EN60974-9:
Apparatusforarcwelding”DirectiveMUSTALWAYSbeused.
-Welding should NEVER be allowed if the operator is above
oorlevel,unlessasafetyplatformisused.
- VOLTAGE BETWEEN THE ELECTRODE HOLDERS OR
TORCHES: when working with more than one welding
machine on a single piece, or on several pieces that are
connectedelectrically,dangerousno-loadvoltagesmaybuild
up between two different electrode holders or torches and
mayreachdoubletheallowedlimit.
It is essential for an expert coordinator to use measuring
instruments to determine whether there is a risk, and to
be able to adopt adequate safety measures as indicated
insection7.9ofthe EN 60974-9:Apparatus forarcwelding
Directive.Part9:Installationanduse”.

2.INTRODUCTIONANDGENERALDESCRIPTION
200AACVERSION
Petrol engine-driven welding machine for MMA electrode welding in
(AC) alternate current. Electrodes: rutile. It can be used as a single-
phase AC current generator for powering all types of electric tool
(e.g. sanders, drills, dowel hole drills, demolishers, etc.) and electric
devices (e.g. lights, saws, compressors, etc.).
300ADCVERSION
Petrol or diesel engine-driven welding machine for MMA electrode
welding in (DC) direct current. It can be used with many different
electrodes: rutile, basic, cellulose, stainless, aluminium, cast iron,
etc. It can be used as a single-phase and three-phase AC current
generator for powering all types of electric tool (e.g. sanders,
drills, dowel hole drills, demolishers, etc.) , compressors, neon and
incandescent lighting systems, etc.
ACCESSORIESSUPPLIEDONREQUEST:
- MMA welding kit
- Wheel kit.
3.TECHNICALDATA
DATAPLATE
The main data regarding engine-driven welding machine performance
and use are given briey in the characteristics plate with the following
meaning: Fig.A
1- Serial number for engine-driven welding machine identication
(essential for servicing, requesting spare parts, searching for
product origin).
2- Symbol representing the internal structure of the engine-driven
welding machine.
3- Welding circuit performance:
- I2 : Currents that can be supplied by the welding machine
during welding.
- X : Intermittence ratio: indicates the time during which the
engine-driven welding machine can supply the corresponding
current (same column). Expressed in %, on the basis of a
10-minute cycle (e.g. 60% = 6 minutes work, 4 minutes rest;
and so on).
If the use factors (referred to a room temperature of 40°C)
are exceeded, the thermostatic safeguard cuts in (the
engine-driven welding machine remains in stand-by until its
temperature returns within the permitted limits).
4- EUROPEAN Standard of reference for safety and for the
construction of arc welding machines.
5- Symbols that refer to safety regulations, the meanings of which
are given in chapter 1 “General safety regulations”.
6- Nominal frequency.
7- Internal combustion engine characteristic data:
- n : Rated load speed.
8- Casing protection grade.
9- Sound power (or pressure) level guaranteed by the engine-
driven welding machine.
10- Auxiliary power output:
- Nominal output voltage (V).
- Nominal output power 1ph (single-phase) and/or 3ph (three-
phase).
Note: The meaning of the symbols and gures given in the example
plate shown are indicative; the exact values of the technical data
of the engine-driven welding machine in your possession must be
looked for directly on the plate of the machine itself.
