PROTECTING YOURSELF AND OTHERS

Arc welding can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death. Welding exposes people to a dangerous source of heat, light and radiation from the arc as well as electromagnetic elds (caution to those with pacemakers), risk of electrocution, noise and gaseous fumes. To protect yourself and others, follow these safety instructions: To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear insulating, dry, reproof clothing in good condition without lapels; the clothing must cover the whole body. Wear gloves that provide electrical and thermal insulation. Use welding protection and/or a welding hood with a su󰀩cient level of protection (variable depending on the application). Protect your eyes during cleaning operations. Wearing contact lenses is strictly forbidden. It is sometimes necessary to enclose the welding area with reproof curtains to protect it from arc radiation, spatter and incandescent waste. Inform people in the welding area not to look at the arc rays or the molten parts and to wear the appropriate clothing to protect themselves. Wear noise-cancelling headphones if the welding process reaches a noise level above the permissible limit (these must be worn by anyone in the welding area). Keep hands, hair and clothing away from moving parts (the fan). Never remove the cooling unit’s protective casing when the welding power source is on; the manufacturer cannot be held responsible in the event of an accident. Newly welded parts are hot and can cause burns when handled. When carrying out maintenance on the torch or electrode holder, make sure that it has su󰀩ciently cooled by waiting at least 10 minutes before starting any work. The cooling unit must be switched on when using a water-cooled torch to make sure that the liquid does not cause burns. It is important to secure the work area before leaving it, this is to protect people and property.

WELDING FUMES AND GASES

The fumes, gases and dusts emitted by welding are health hazards. Su󰀩cient ventilation must be provided and an air supply may be required. An air-fed mask could be a possible solution if there is inadequate ventilation. Check that the extraction system is operating e󰀨ectively by checking it against relevant safety standards. Caution: Welding in conned environments requires remote monitoring for safety reasons. Furthermore, welding certain materials that contain lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or even beryllium, can be particularly harmful; it is important to thoroughly degrease the parts before welding them. Gas cylinders must be stored in an open or well-ventilated area. They must be in an upright position and held on a support or on a trolley. Do not weld near grease or paint.10 User manual KOOLWELD 3 Translation of the original instructions

FIRE AND EXPLOSION RISK

Fully shield the welding area; ammable materials should be kept at least 11 metres away. Fire ghting equipment must be nearby during welding operations. Beware of hot material or sparks being projected, even through cracks; they can cause a re or explosion. Keep people, ammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance. Welding in closed containers or tubes should be avoided and if they are open they should be emptied of any ammable or explosive material (oils, fuels and gas residues, etc.). Grinding operations must not be directed towards the welding power source or towards any ammable materials. ELECTRICAL SAFETY The electrical power supply must be earthed. Use the fuse size recommended on the information panel. Electric shocks can cause serious direct or indirect accidents and even death. Never touch live parts inside or outside the live power source (torches, clamps, cables and electrodes) as these parts are directly connected to the welding circuit. Before opening the welding current source, it must be disconnected from the mains and wait 2 minutes. so that all the capacitors are discharged. Do not touch the torch or electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time. Ensure that cables and torches are changed by qualied and authorised personnel if they become damaged. Select the cable’s cross-section size according to the intended application. Always wear dry, undamaged clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Wear insulated footwear in all work environments.

IGNITION OF THE PUMP SHAFT

Long periods without use and impurities in the coolant can cause the cooling pump to jam. Pump shaft priming procedure: 1/ Switch o󰀨 the power source. 2/ Insert a at head screwdriver (Ø 9 mm max.) in the center of the pump shaft, passing through the service hole. Then turn the screwdri- ver clockwise until the pump shaft rotates smoothly again. 3/ Remove the screwdriver. 4/ Switch on the power source. LIQUID COOLING

MAX MIN The cooling unit tank must be lled to the gauge’s recommended MAX level on the front of the cooling unit. However, it must never fall below the MIN level, otherwise a warning message will appear. Use only a specic coolant designed specically for welding machines; it must have with low electrical conductivity as well as being protected against corrosion and freezing (P.N. 062511). To obtain the best cooling performance from this appliance, distilled or demineralised water should be used. Note that water can only be used at ambient temperatures above 5°C. Using other coolants, in particular a standard automotive coolant, may lead to an electrolytic build-up of solid deposits in the cooling system which, in turn, may lead to poor cooling performance and even blockages in the cooling circuit. The recommended MAX level is essential for optimising the liquid-cooled torch’s operational performance. Any damage to the machine caused by using a coolant other than those stipulated in these instructions will not be covered by the machine’s warranty. Ensure that the cooling unit is disconnected from the power supply before connecting or disconnecting the torch liquid cooling hoses (inlet and outlet).

1.) NEVER USE the cooling unit WITHOUT COOLANT when the pump is running. Respect the minimum coolant level. Failure to do so may result in permanent damage to the cooling system’s pump. 2.) Ensure that the cooling unit is switched o󰀨 before disconnecting the liquid-cooled torch’s inlet and/or outlet pipes. Coolant is hazardous and irritates eyes, mucous membranes and skin. The hot liquid can cause burns. 3.) Hot liquid burn hazard. Never drain the cooling unit after use. The liquid inside will be boiling, wait for it to cool down before draining. 4.) In «AUTO» mode, the cooling unit’s pump will start running when the welding process is started. When the welding has stopped, the pump will continue to operate for 10 minutes. During this time, the liquid will cool the welding torch and brings it back to room temperature. Leave the power source connected for a few minutes after welding to allow it to cool down. The cooling unit must be switched o󰀨 (OFF) to use an air-cooled TIG torch. For further instructions on how to do this, please refer to the power source’s HMI user manual.
