INDIVIDUAL PROTECTIONS AND OTHERS

Arc welding can be dangerous and cause serious injury or death. The machine is intended to be operated by qualied personnel who have received appropriate training in the use of the machine (eg: panel beater training). Welding exposes people to dangerous heat, light radiation from the arc, electromagnetic elds (beware if you have a pacemaker), risk of electrocution, noise, and gas emissions. To protect yourself and others, please comply with the following safety instructions: To protect yourself from burns and radiation, wear clothes without cus/lapels, that are insulating, dry, reproof and in good condition, and that cover the whole body. Wear protective gloves which provide electrical and thermal insulation. Use welding protection and/or a welding helmet with a sucient level of protection (depending on the specic use). Protect your eyes during cleaning procedures. Contact lenses are specically forbidden. It may be necessary to enclose the welding area with reproof curtains in order to protect the work area from arc radiation, welding spatter, and other high-temperature waste . Inform people in the welding area not to stare at the arc rays or molten parts and to wear appropriate clothing for protection. Wear noise protection headphones if the welding process becomes louder than the permissible limit (this is also applicable to anyone else in the welding area). Keep hands away from moving parts (fan), hair, clothing. Never remove the covers of the cooling unit 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 servicing the gun or electrode holder, Make sure that it is suciently cool by waiting at least 10 minutes before any manipulation. It is important to secure the working area before leaving it, in order to protect people and property.EN

Fumes, gases and dusts emitted by welding are harmful to health. It is mandatory to ensure adequate ventilation, and an additional air supply may be required. An air-fed mask could be a solution in situa- tions where there is inadequate ventilation. Check the extraction system's performance against the relevant safety standards. Caution : Welding in conned spaces requires safety monitoring from a safe distance. In addition, the welding of certain materials containing lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium can be very harmful. also remove any grease on the workpieces before welding. Cylinders should be stored in open or well-ventilated areas. They should be stored in an upright position and kept on a stand or trolley. Welding should not be carried out near grease or paint.

FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS

Fully protect the welding area, and ensure that ammable materials are kept at least 11 metres away. Fire ghting equipment should be kept close to wherever the welding activities are being undertaken. Be careful of spatter and sparks, even through cracks, as it can be the source of a re or an explosion. Keep people, ammable objects and pressurised containers at a safe distance. Welding in closed containers or tubes is to be avoided. If the containers or tubes are open, they must be emptied of all ammable or explosive materials (oil, fuel, residual gas…). Grinding work must not be directed towards the source of the welding current or towards any ammable materials. GAS CYLINDERS Gas escaping from cylinders can cause suocation if there is too high a concentration of it in the wel- ding area (ensure good ventilation). The machine must be transported in complete safety: gas cylinders must be closed and the welding power source turned o. They should be stored upright and supported to limit the risk of falling. Close the cylinder between uses. Beware of temperature variations and exposure to the sun. The cylinder must not come into contact with a ame, an electric arc, the gun, a ground clamp, or any other source of heat or potential ignition. Be sure to keep it away from electrical and welding circuits. Never weld a pressurised cylinder. Be careful when opening the cylinder valve, keep your head away from the tap and ensure that the gas used is suitable for the welding application. ELECTRICAL SAFETY The electrical network used must be earthed. Use the recommended fuse size from the rating plate. A direct or indirect electric shock can cause a serious injury, or even death. Do not touch any live part of the machine (inside or outside) when it is plugged in (Guns, clamps, cables, electrodest because it is connected to the welding circuit. Before opening the welding power source, disconnect it from the mains supply and wait 2 minutes. So that all the capacitors are discharged. Do not touch the gun or the electrode holder and the earth clamp at the same time. Ensure that the cables are changed, if they are damaged, by qualied and authorised persnnel. Measure the cable cross- section according to the intended application. Always use dry and in-fact clothing to insulate yourself from the welding circuit. Wear insulated shoes in all working environments. Warning ! Very hot surface. Risk of burns.

• The parts and pieces that have just been heated are hot and may cause burns when manipulated.

• Do not touch any hot parts with your hands.

• Wait for parts and equipment to cool before handling them.

• In the event of a burn, rinse with plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately.26 Operating manual

Original manual EMC CLASSIFICATION This Class A device is not intended for use in a residential environment where power is provided by the public low-voltage local supply network. There may be potential diculties in maintaining electroma- gnetic compatibility at these sites, due to both conducted, and radiated radio frequency interference. Steel: This equipment does not comply with IEC 61000-3-12 and is designed to be plugged into private, low voltage, power supply networks. It is intended to be connected to the public mains supply only at medium or high voltage level. If it is connected to a public low voltage supply network, it is the responsibility of the installer or user of the product to make sure, by consulting the distribution network operator, that the unit can be connected. Aluminium: Provided that the impedance of the low-voltage public electrical network at the common interconnec- tion point is less than Zmax = 0.45 Ohms, this equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 and can be connected to public low-voltage electrical mains. It is the responsibility of the installer or operator of the product to ensure this, in consultation with the distribution netwtork operator if necessary, that the network impedance complies with the impedance restrictions. EN 61000-3-11 Steel / Aluminium: This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11. Steel: This equipment complies with IEC 61000-3-11 if the impedance of the power supply, at the point of connection to the electrical installation, is less than the maximum permissible power supply impe- dance Zmax = 0.130 Ohms. EN 61000-3-12 Aluminium: This equipment complies with the IEC 61000-3-12 standard. ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS An electric current passing through any conductor produces localised electric and magnetic elds (EMF). The welding current produces an electromagnetic eld around the welding circuit and the welding equipment. Electromagnetic elds (EMFs) can interfere with some medical devices, pacemakers for example. Protective measures must be taken for people with medical implants. For example, restricted access for spectators, or an individual risk assessment for welders. All welders should use the following guidelines to minimise exposure to the welding circuit's electromagnetic elds:

• position the welding cables together – secure them with a clip, if possible;

• position yourself (head and body) as far away from the welding circuit as possible;

• never wrap the welding cables around your body;

• do not position yourself between the welding cables. Place both welding cables on the same side of the body;

• connect the return cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area that will be welded;

• do not work directly next to the welding power source, Do not sit on it or lean against it;

• do not transport the welding power source or wire feeder while welding. Pacemaker users should consult a doctor before using this equipment. Exposure to electromagnetic elds during welding may have other health eects that are not yet known. RECOMMENDATIONS TO ASSESS THE WELDING AREA AND WELDING INSTALLATION General Information It is the user's responsibilit to install and use the arc welding equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. If electromagnetic interference is detected, it is the user's responsiblity to resolve the situation using the manufacturer's technical support. In some cases, this corrective action may be as simple as earthing the welding circuit. In other cases, it may be necessary to electromagnetically shield the welding power source and the workpiece as a whole by installing input lters. In all cases, electromagnetic interference should be reduced until it is no longer a concern.EN

Original manual Assessing the welding area Before installing arc welding equipment, the user should assess the potential electromagnetic problems in the surroun- ding area. The following should be taken into account: a) the presence above, below and next to the arc welding equipment of other power cables, control cables, signal or telephone cables; b) radio and television receivers and transmitters; c) computers and other control equipment, d) critical safety equipment, for example, industrial equipment protection; e) the well-being of nearby persons, for example, those using of pacemakers or hearing aids, f) the equipment used for calibrating or measuring; g) the protection of other surrounding equipment. The operator has to ensure that the devices and equipment used in the same area are compatible with each other. This may require further protective measures; h) the time of day when welding or other operations are to be carried out. The size of the surrounding area to be taken into account will depend on the building's structure and the other activities taking place there. The surrounding area may extend beyond the boundaries of the premises. Assessment of the welding equipment In addition to assessing the area, the arc welding equipment's assessment can be used to identify and resolve cases of interference. The assessment of emissions must include in situ measurements as specied in Article 10 of CISPR 11. In situ measurements can also be used to conrm the eectiveness of mitigation measures. RECOMMENDATION ON METHODS OF ELECTROMAGNETIC EMISSIONS REDUCTION a. The mains power grid: Arc welding equipment should be connected to the mains power grid according to the manufacturer's recommendations. If interference occurs, it may be necessary to take additional precautionary measures such as ltering the mains power supply. Consider protecting the power cables of permanently installed arc welding equipment within a metal pipe or a similar casing. The power cable should be protected along its entire length. The shield should be connected to the welding power source to ensure that there is good electrical contact between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure. b. The maintenance of arc welding equipment: Arc welding equipment should be subject to routine maintenance as recommended by the manufacturer. All access points, covers and service openings should be closed and properly locked when the arc welding equipment is in use. The arc welding equipment should not be modied in any way, except for those changes and adjustments mentioned in the manufacturer's instructions. It is advisable, in general, the arc ignition and stabilization parts should be adjusted and maintained according to the manufacturer's recommendations. c. Welding cables: Cables should be as short as possible, placed close together either near or on the ground. d. Equipotential bonding: Consideration should be given to linking all metal objects in the surrounding area. Howe- ver, metal objects connected to the workpiece increase the risk of an electric shock to the operator if they touch both the metal objects and the gun shaft It is necessary to insulate the operator from such metal objects. e. Earthing the workpiece: In cases where the part to be welded is unearthed for electrical safety reasons or due to its size and location, which is the case, for example, the hull of a ship or steel frameworks of buildings, an earthed connection can in some cases but not always, reduce emissions. Care should be taken to avoid the earthing of parts which could increase the risk of injury to users or damage to other electrical equipment. If necessary, the connection of the workpiece to earth should be made directly, but in some countries; rules may not allow such a direct connection, he connection should be made with a suitable capacitor chosen according to national regulations. f. Protection and shielding: The selective protection and encasing of other cables and equipment in the surrounding area may limit interference problems. The safeguarding of the entire welding area may be considered for special appli- cations. THE TRANSPORTING AND MOVING OF THE MACHINE'S POWER SOURCE The machine is equipped with a handle to easy transportation. Be careful not to underestimate its weight. The handle cannot be used to hang or attach the machine on something else. Do not use the cables or gun to move the welding power source. It should be moved in an upright position. Do not carry or transport the power source overhead of people or objects. Never lift the machine while there is a gas cylinder on the support shelf. Their transportation require- ments are dierent.28 Operating manual

Original manual GAS PROTECTION Depending on the material to be welded, gas protection may be necessary. The gas ow must be set between 12L/min and 15L/min. The following table lists the gases required depending on the inserts to be welded and their material. This table is given as an indication, pre-weld tests are recommended. Insert to be welded Gas No gas Usage Alu pulling ring Argon Not recommended Recommended Stud, aluminium insulation nail ArHe 30% Not recommended Recommended Steel pulling ring ArCO² 8% Possible Possible Stud, steel insulation nail, etc. ArCO² 8% Possible Possible Note : In the case of welding aluminium, pure Argon (Ar) can be used instead of the 30% Argon- Helium mixture (ArHe30%). Also, in the case of steel (Fe or FeCu) welding, it is possible to use pure Argon (Ar) instead of 8% Argon-CO² mixture (ArCO² 8%). In both cases, the settings pre-set by the Synergy are no longer guaranteed, and it may be necessary to switch to Manual Mode. Do not set the torque over 5N.m when tightening the gas input coupling. CONNECTING THE GUN TO THE POWER SOURCE The connection and disconnection of the gun control connector to the power source socket must only be done with the power source switched o󰀨. The ring of the gun control connector must always be properly screwed to the power source socket before starting the product. PROCESS FOR WELDING AN INSERT WITH DRAWN ARC Phase Ignition Penetration and clea- ning Arc Binding T (ms) 0 to 200 ms 10 to 500 ms 0 to 50 ms I (A) ≈80-150 A 50 to 60 A 50 à 200 A* ≈80-150 A Ignition : the insert (pull ring studs, etc.) is placed in contact with the supporting material. Pressing the trigger starts the welding process: the power source sends current to the stud, the gun shaft rises slightly, A low-intensity electric arc is then created. Penetration and cleaning: This phase could also be called preheating. The power source regulates a current to ensure a low-intensity arc, the heat generated by this arc allows: - burning o󰀨 impurities from the backing sheet (grease, oil, electrolytic zinc coating). - to preheat the two pieces, and thus limiting the thermal impact of the welding arc, to improve the quality of the weld. During this phase neither the insert, or the support plate, is melted. Also, this phase does not allow the zinc layer of a galvanised plate to be removed. Thearc:the power source signicantly increases the current to create a high-energy arc that creates a molten pool on the support plate and causes the end of the insert to melt.EN

Original manual Thebinding:The gun plunges the insert into the molten weld pool. Note : In the case of steel, the thickness of the supporting sheet must not be less than ¼ of the diameter of the insert, and ½ of the diameter in the case of aluminium.

WELDING IN MANUAL MODE

In Synergic Mode the height of the arc, the time and current for the di󰀨erent phases are selected automatically by the machine. A synergy is therefore determined by the type of part to be welded, its material, its gas protection, its size, and the supporting plate. The gas type to be used is shown on the display. In case of incorrect polarity on the gun, a message appears on the display and the fault LED (red), on the gun, ashes. The di󰀨erent welding parameters are dened for the attachments that GYS sell. These synergies remain applicable for inserts up to 35mm, as long as they are of the same type and material as those sold by GYS (according to ISO 13918). The synergies of aluminium inserts (excluding pull rings), were established on support plates that had been preheated to a temperature of 50-60°C. It is advisable to carry out a few test welds on a suitable support plate beforehand, to ensure that the weld will hold. On the main Mode screen, Synergies are displayed: 1 — The material of the insert: AlMg, Fe, FeCu, etc. 2 — The type of weld pool protection: No Gas, the type of gas recommended 3 — The pictogram of the part to be welded 4 — The thickness of the sheet metal to which the part will be welded 5 — A message eld specifying the status of the product32 Operating manual

THICKNESS OF THE SUPPORT PLATE

Thickness displayed in millimetres. To increase or decrease the thickness of the sheet on which the insert will be welded, press the D+ and D- keys. The thickness ranges that can be selected are dependent on the type, size, and material of the part to be welded. If the thickness of the sheet metal is less than that shown on the display, the sheet may become deformed at the weld. When the display shows , the sheet thickness is su󰀩cient and the welding parameters of the synergy are no longer a󰀨ected. If this symbol does not appear, then the maximum sheet metal thickness has been reached. Over this thickness, the welding of the insert is no longer guaranteed. Note : When switching from Synergic to Manual mode, all welding parameters (current, time, height, etc.) associated with that synergy are transferred to manual mode. This makes it possible to ne-tune the machine settings if the selec- ted synergy does not achieve the expected result (welding with too much, or not enough, energy).

WELDING IN MANUAL MODE

Original manual ADJUSTING A STUD HOLDER - INSULATION NAILS 5 mm Lock- nut Adjustment screw

1) Unscrew the locking nut on the stud holder adjusting spindle.

2) Insert the attachment into the stud holder and adjust the screw so that the end of the attachment protrudes 5 mm

Note: If the weld of the insert shows marks of the stud holder at the weld, adjust the stud holder screw so that the insert extends a little further from the stud holder. Markings Installation of the earth rods pad and the protective gas cover:

• Insert the gas protection cap into the grounding pad and lock it with the screw. Protective gas cover Grip pad for earth Push buttons It is essential that the cap is placed on the other side of the pusher pad. The gas shielding cover must not be mounted on the grounding pad when welding without any gas shielding.

• Put the pad (tted with the cover) at the end of the ground rods and screw in the 2 clamping screws. It is recommended to place the pad with the clamping screws pointing down to the bottom of the gun to keep the positioning markings clearly visible. Note: The use of gas protection and grounding pad is not necessary when welding a pulling ring. Location markings Clamping screwEN

Steel function The right-hand side of the product is used for the following bodywork operations: - dent removal work, - welding of nails, rivets, washers, studs and mouldings, - removal of impacts, - sheet metal retensioning. It is not designed for the assembly of metal parts. Delivered with the following steel accessories: Earth clamp Gun with trigger Inertia hammer short 1,1kg Accessories and consumables box40 Operating manual

1. Connect the gun (or guns) with the connectors.

The trigger gun has, in addition to the power connector, a connector for the control trigger. Connect the latter to initiate using the trigger.

• The displays and indicator lights illuminate briey and then the unit automatically enters SYNERGIC mode (12) (FIG-II p.2). It indicates: - the tool (1): set to 1 by default (star welding/slide hammer or Manuliner). - the power level (2): set to 2 by default (suitable for 0.8 mm steel sheet).

• To use the MANUAL mode (10), press key (8). The SYNERGIC mode give to the user recommended factory settings for each tool used on a given sheet thick- ness. he MANUAL mode allows the user to choose their own settings without the tool connected being taken into account, by selecting the desired power and spot time.

4. Depending on the mode chosen, SYNERGIC or MANUAL, change the settings as follows:

- To change the tool, press the arrows (13) - (Available in SYNERGIC mode only). 1 Dent removal work using the inertia ham- mer, stars, or dent pulling clamp. 2 Welding rings for straightening work. 3 Impact shrinking with a specic copper tip. 4 Carbon electrode for retensioning. 5 Welding of rivets for sideway rods. 6 Welding wavy wires or washers for earth attachments. 7 Welding studs for vehicle weights and linkages - To change the power level, press the arrows (9). The power levels available allow the straightening of sheets of varying thickness.EN

5. Using button (6), select the type of ignition (see ignition section):

6. Carry out the weld spot(s) in accordance with the operating instructions.

7. After rst use, the steel side will be automatically be set to the settings of the last weld performed before the unit

was switched o. It also records the last weld setting made for each tool and gun.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Operation Proceed as follows:

1. Connect the ground clamp from the power source to the sheet metal workpiece to be straightened, following these

• connect it as close as possible to the place to be welded.

• do not connect it to a neighbouring panel (e.g: do not connect the ground to a door in order to straighten the vehi- cle wing)

• cleanly strip the surface of the workpiece at the point of connection

2. Strip the area where the sheet is to be worked on.

3. Attach the required tool to the end of the gun, tightening the nut rmly.

4. Select the tool and the power.

5. Create contact between the gun tool and the workpiece.

6. Perform your spot weld.

Ignition This function has 2 ignition systems: Manual mode (using the trigger)

1. Attach the power connector and the control connector,

2. Press the ignition selection button (6) until the LED (4- ) lights up (FIG-II p.2).

The automatic mode will no longer work, The automatic mode will no longer work, only pressing the trigger will enable the spot weld. Automatic mode

1. Connect the power connector,

2. Press the ignition selection button (6) until the LED (5- ) lights up (FIG-II p.2).

The machine is able to create the welding arc automatically. The machine automatically detects the electrical contact and generates the spot weld in less than 1 second. To pro- duce a 2nd spot, remove the contact at the end of the gun for at least half a second, and then reapply contact. For best performance, it is recommended to use the ground cable and the guns that are sup- plied as standard.42 Operating manual
