ELECTRICAL SAFETY
WARNING!
It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read, understand and comply with the following:
You must check all electrical products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors
for wear or damage. You must ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of appropriate safety devices. A Residual Current
Circuit Breaker (RCCB) should be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a Residual Current Device (RCD) is used. It is
particularly important to use an RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a
qualified electrician. You may obtain a Residual Current Device by contacting your Sealey dealer. You must also read and understand the following
instructions concerning electrical safety.
1.1.1. The
Electricity at Work Act 1989
requires that all portable electrical appliances, if used on business premises, are tested by a qualified electrician, using
a Portable Appliance Tester (PAT), at least once a year.
1.1.2. The
Health & Safety at Work Act 1974
makes owners of electrical appliances responsible for the safe condition of those appliances and the safety of the
appliance operators.
If in any doubt about electrical safety, contact a qualified electrician.
1.1.3. Ensure that the insulation on all cables and on the appliance is safe before connecting it to the power supply. See 1.1.1. and 1.1.2. and use a Portable
Appliance Tester.
1.1.4. Ensure that cables are always protected against short circuit and overload.
1.1.5. Regularly inspect power supply cables and plugs for wear or damage and check all connections to ensure that none is loose.
1.1.6. Important: Ensure that the voltage marked on the appliance matches the power supply to be used and that the supply is correctly fused.
1.1.7.
DO NOT
pull or carry the appliance by the power cable.
1.1.8.
DO NOT
pull the plug from the socket by the cable.
1.1.9.
DO NOT
use worn or damaged cables, plugs or connectors. Immediately have any faulty item repaired or replaced by a qualified electrician.
1.1.10.
SUpERMIG180.V3
is a single phase machine and must be run from a minimum 16Amp supply.
To achieve maximum output this model will require a
30Amp fused supply. We recommend you discuss the installation of an industrial round pin plug and socket with your electrician.
Fit a plug according to the following instructions (UK only).
a) Connect the GREEN/YELLOW earth wire to the earth terminal ‘E’.
b) Connect the BROWN live wire to the live terminal ‘L’.
c) Connect the BLUE neutral wire to the neutral terminal ‘N’.
d) After wiring, check that there are no bare wires, that all wires have been correctly connected, that the cable outer insulation extends beyond
the cable restraint and that the restraint is tight.
1.1.11. When a cable extension reel is used it should be fully unwound before connection. A cable reel with an RCD fitted is recommended since any product
which is plugged into the cable reel will be protected. The cross-section of the cable on the cable reel must be suitable for the unit and never lower than the
cross-section of the mains cable supplied with the unit.
1.2.
GENERAL SAFETY
DANGER! Unplug the welder from the mains power supply before performing maintenance or service.
Keep the welder and cables in good condition. Take immediate action to repair or replace damaged parts.
Use genuine parts and accessories only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
Use an air hose to regularly blow out any dirt from the liner and keep the welder clean for best and safest performance.
Check and spray the gas cup and contact tip regularly with anti-spatter spray which is available from your Sealey dealer.
Locate the welder in a suitable work area. Ensure that the area has adequate ventilation as welding fumes are harmful.
Keep work area clean, tidy and free from unrelated materials. Also ensure that the work area has adequate lighting and that a fire extinguisher is at hand.
WARNING! Use welding head shield to protect eyes and avoid exposing skin to ultraviolet rays given off by electric arc. Wear safety welding
gauntlets.
Remove ill fitting clothing, remove ties, watches, rings and other loose jewellery and contain long hair.
Ensure that the workpiece is correctly secured before operating the welder.
Avoid unintentional contact with workpiece. Accidental or uncontrolled use of the torch may be dangerous and will wear the nozzle.
Keep unauthorised persons away from the work area. Any persons working within the area must wear protective head shield and gloves.
Operators must receive adequate training before using the welder.
Stand correctly, keeping a good footing and balance, and ensure that the floor is not slippery. Wear non-slip shoes.
Turn voltage switch to '
OFF'
when not in use.
DO NOT
operate the welder if it or its cables are damaged and
DO NOT
attempt to fit any unapproved torch or other parts to the welder unit.
DO NOT
get welder wet or use in damp or wet locations or areas where there is condensation.
DANGER! DO NOT weld near inflammable materials, solids, liquids, or gases, and DO NOT weld containers or pipes which have held flammable
materials or gases, liquids or solids. Avoid operating on materials cleaned with chlorinated solvents or near such solvents.
DO NOT
stand welder on a metal workbench, car bodywork or similar object.
DO NOT
touch any live metal parts of the torch or electrode while the machine is switched on.
DO NOT
pull the welder by the cable or the torch and
DO NOT
bend or strain cables. Protect cables from sharp or abrasive items and
DO NOT
stand on
them. Protect from heat. Long lengths of slack must be gathered and neatly coiled.
DO NOT
place cables where they could endanger other people.
DO NOT
touch the torch or workpiece immediately after welding as they will be very hot. Allow to cool.
DO NOT
operate welder while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or intoxicating medication, or if tired.
When not in use store the welder in a safe, dry, childproof area.
1.3.
GAS SAFETY
Store gas cylinders in a vertical position only and ensure that the storage area is correctly secured.
DO NOT
store gas cylinders in areas where temperature exceeds 50°C.
DO NOT
use direct heat on a cylinder. Always keep gas cylinders cool.
DO NOT
attempt to repair or modify any part of a gas cylinder or valve and
DO NOT
puncture or damage a cylinder.
DO NOT
obscure or remove any official cylinder labels. Always check the gas identity before use. Avoid getting gas cylinders oily or greasy.
