Potential hazards

There are a number of potential hazards that can occur during arc welding.

It is therefore particularly important for the welder to comply with the

following rules to avoid endangering himself or others and prevent injuries

or damage to the appliance.

▯ Do not use this ﬂux-core welder on a surface that is inclined by more

than 10°.

▯ Work on the voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets, etc., may only

be carried out by qualiﬁed specialists. This applies especially to the

ﬁtting of intermediary cables.

▯ In the event of an accident, disconnect immediately from the welding

power source.

▯ If electrical contact voltages occur, switch oﬀ the appliance immediately

and have it checked by a qualiﬁed specialist.

▯ Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding current side.

▯ Always wear insulating gloves on both hands during welding work.

These protect the user from electric shock (no-load voltage of the welding

current circuit), harmful radiation (heat and UV radiation) as well as

from incandescent metal and splashes of slag.

▯ Wear sturdy insulating shoes (should also be waterproof). Loafers are

not suitable as falling incandescent metal droplets can cause burns.

▯ Wear suitable clothing, no synthetic ﬁbres.

▯ Do not look into the electric arc without eye protection; always use the

welding mask with the prescribed protective glass as per DIN. In addition

to the light and heat radiation, which can dazzle and/or cause burns,

the electric arc also emits UV radiation. If not properly protected, this

invisible ultraviolet radiation can cause a very painful conjunctivitis that

is not apparent until several hours later. In addition, this UV radiation

can cause sunburn-like eﬀects on unprotected parts of the body.

▯ Any persons in the vicinity of the electric arc or helpers must be appraised

of the dangers and be equipped with the necessary protective equip-

ment. If necessary, put up protective walls.

▯ No welding work may be carried out on containers that have been

used for storing gases, fuels, mineral oils or similar – even if they have

been empty for a long time – as possible residues may present a risk of

explosion.

▯ Special regulations apply in rooms where there is a risk of ﬁre or

explosion.

▯ Welded joints that are subject to heavy stress loads and are required

to comply with safety requirements may only be carried out by trained

and qualiﬁed welders. Examples of this are: pressure vessels, running

rails, tow bars, etc.

Risk of injury due to electric shock

When there is no electric arc, there is a nominal no-load voltage of U

be-

tween the earth clamp and the ﬂow nozzle. This voltage can be potentially

fatal if the welder touches the ﬂow nozzle, torch nozzle, welding wire or

the workpiece with his/her bare hands.

▯ It is important to bear in mind that the protective conductor in electrical

systems or appliances can be damaged by negligence by the welding

current:

e.g. the earth clamp is placed on the welder housing which is connect-

ed to the protective conductor of the electrical system. The welding

work is carried out on a machine with a protective conductor connec-

tion. It is also possible to weld the machine without attaching the earth

clamp to it. In this case, the welding current ﬂows from the earth clamp

via the protective conductor to the machine. The high welding current

can cause the protective conductor to melt.

▯ The supply to the mains socket must be secured as per regulations

(VDE 0100). In accordance with these regulations, only fuses or circuit

breakers with a corresponding wire cross section may be used (16 amp

circuit breaker). A too high fuse amperage can cause cable ﬁres or

building ﬁre damage.

Conﬁned spaces and hot rooms

▯ When working in conﬁned spaces or hot rooms, use insulated underlays,

ﬁller layers and gauntlets made of leather or a diﬀerent non-conduc-

tive material to insulate your body against the ﬂoor, walls, conductive

appliance parts and similar.

▯ When using welding transformers to weld in environments with in-

creased electrical risks, e.g. in conﬁned rooms with electrically conduc-

tive walls (boilers, pipes, etc.), in hot rooms (sweating through the work

clothes), the output voltage of the ﬂux-core welder in no-load operation

may not be higher than 48 V~ (eﬀective value). Due to its output volt-

age in no-load operation, the appliance may be used in this case.

Accident risks due to poor air supply in conﬁned

spaces

▯ Considerable quantities of smoke and gases are produced during

welding. Ensure that there is a suitable opening for the extraction of

smoke and gases. Never feed oxygen into the room. This increases the

risk of ﬁre.

Protective clothing

▯ While working, the welder must protect all body parts from radiation

and against burns by means of clothing and the welding mask.

▯ Wear gauntlets made of a suitable material (leather) on both hands.

They must be in perfect condition.

▯ To protect your clothes from ﬂying sparks and burns, wear a suitable

apron. If the type of work requires it, e.g. overhead welding, wear a

protective suit and, if necessary, also the corresponding headgear.

▯ The clothing worn and all accessories must comply with the guideline

“Personal protective equipment” (89/686/EEC).

│

7 ■

PFDS 33 A1

Protection against radiation and burns

▯ Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying “Caution,

do not look into the ﬂames!”.

▯ Work areas are to be shielded so as to protect people in the vicinity.

▯ Keep unauthorised persons away from the welding work.

▯ Do not set up ﬁxed welding locations in the immediate vicinity of

light-coloured or glossy walls.

▯ Windows should be blocked oﬀ to at least head height to prevent the

escape or reﬂection of radiation, e.g. by painting with a suitable paint.

Risk of burns due to ﬂying sparks

The spraying welding sparks can cause painful burns. Therefore, observe

the following guidelines:

▯ Always wear a leather apron.

▯ Use leather gloves.

▯ For overhead welding, wear suitable headgear.

▯ Ensure that your trouser cuﬀs fall over your shoes.

▯ Wear sturdy and insulated shoes.

Risk of accidents due to spattering slag

When it sets, the slag is hard and brittle. Afterwards, it can be chipped oﬀ

using the chipping hammer – sharp-edged particles may ﬂy up that could

seriously injure your eyes.

Therefore protect your eyes by wearing suitable protective goggles when

removing slag.

Risk of ﬁre due to ﬂying sparks

If molten or incandescent metal and slag particles fall onto ﬂammable sub-

stances, these can ignite and cause a ﬁre. Therefore, remove all ﬂammable

objects from the working area before commencing welding work. Keep a

suitable ﬁre extinguisher at hand.

Pay particularly close attention to the following materials.

▯ Paper

▯ Rags

▯ Textiles

▯ Wood and wood ﬁbres

▯ Rubber

▯ Plastic

▯ Petrol

▯ Oils

▯ Tar-like substances

▯ Paints and solvent

Risk of explosion

Both the welding function and the superheated weld joint itself can cause

explosions. Therefore, do not use the appliance in a potentially explosive

environment containing combustible liquids, gases or paint mist.

Please also note:

▯ When the ﬂux-core welder is in operation, do not lay the torch on the

ﬂux-core welder itself or any other electrical appliance.

▯ Before ﬁnishing the welding work, do not touch the ﬂow nozzle or any

other metal object with which the ﬂow nozzle is in contact.

▯ Disconnect the appliance from the power immediately after completing

your welding work.

▯ Ensure that no cable is wrapped around any body part.

▯ Make sure that you are not within the welding current circuit. The welding

torch and earth must always be on the same side.

EMC appliance classiﬁcation

As per the standard IEC 60974-10, this appliance is a welding unit with

class A electromagnetic compatibility. Thus it complies with the correspond-

ing requirements for industrial and domestic use. In residential areas, it

may be connected to the low voltage electricity supply.

Even the ﬂux-core welder complies with the emission limits of the standard,

arc welding appliances can nevertheless cause interference to sensitive

systems and appliances.

The user is responsible for any interference caused by the electric arc during

welding and must take appropriate preventive measures. The user must

pay close attention to the following:

▯ Power, control, signal and telecommunication lines

▯ Computers and microprocessor-controlled appliances

▯ TVs, radios and other playback appliances

▯ Electronic and electrical safety appliances

▯ People with pacemakers or hearing aids

▯ Measurement and calibration systems

▯ The electromagnetic immunity of other systems in the vicinity

▯ The time of the day at which the welding work is to be carried out.

To prevent possible interference radiation, we recommend:

▯ Fitting a mains ﬁlter to the mains connection or shielding it with a metal

pipe

▯ Maintaining the ﬂux-core welder regularly and keeping it in good

condition

▯ Weld cables should be as short as possible, completely unwound and

running as close to parallel with the ﬂoor as possible

▯ An equipotential bonding should be provided

▯ The workpieces should be properly earthed

▯ Any appliances susceptible to interference radiation should moved out

of the welding area, if possible, or shielded.

Operation

Switching the appliance on and oﬀ

♦ Switch the welder on and oﬀ using the main switch .

If you do not intend to use the welder for an extended period, remove the

plug from the power socket. This is the only way to completely de-energise

the appliance.

Setting the welding current

■ Use the switches

on the front of the welder to set the required

welding current.

■ If, for example, the MIN switch

und the switch 1 are set to the

up position, the welding current is 48 A and the duty cycle is at 60%.

■ If the MAX switch und the switch 2 are set to the down position,

the welding current is 90 A and the duty cycle is at 10%.

■ The required welding current is dependent on the diameter of the welding

wire being used, the material thickness and the desired penetration

depth.

MIN MAX

1 48 A 70 A

2 60 A 90 A

Adjusting the wire feed

■ To achieve a consistent weld result, you can make ﬁne adjustments to

the wire feed using the setting wheel for the wire feed

We recommend using a setting in the middle range to start with and

then increasing or reducing the speed as required.

■ The required welding ﬂow is dependent on the diameter of the welding

wire being used, the material thickness and the desired penetration

depth as well as the bridging distance between the two pieces being

welded.

Overload protection

■ The welder is protected against overheating by an automatic protection

appliance (thermostat with automatic restart) metal clad. The protection

appliance interrupts the power supply in the event of an overload and

the yellow overload protection control lamp lights up.

■ If the protection appliance activates, allow the appliance to cool down

(approx. 15 minutes). As soon as the yellow overload protection control

lamp

goes oﬀ, the appliance is again ready for use.

Welding mask

WARNING! HEALTH HAZARD!

► If you do not use the welding mask, the harmful UV radiation and the

heat coming from the electric arc can damage your eyes.

–

Always use the welding mask when you weld.

Welding

WARNING! RISK OF BURNS!

► Welded, hot workpieces are very hot so that you could burn yourself.

–

Always use pliers to move welded, hot workpieces.

After you have connected the welder to the power, proceed as follows:

♦ Connect the earth cable to the workpiece that is to be welded using

the earth clamp

Ensure that there is a good electrical connection.

♦ The workpiece should be free of rust and paint where the weld is to

made.

♦ Select the desired welding current and the wire feed depending on

the welding wire diameter, material thickness and desired penetration

depth.

♦ Switch the appliance on.

♦ Hold the welding mask

in front of your face and guide the torch

nozzle

to the position on the workpiece where you want to weld.

♦ Press the torch button

to generate an electric arc.

Once the electric arc is burning, the appliance feeds wire into the weld

pool.

♦ Once the weld nugget is big enough, guide the torch

slowly along

the desired edge.

The distance between the torch nozzle and the workpiece should be

as small as possible (never more than 10 mm).

♦ If required, oscillate a little to increase the size of the weld pool.

For inexperienced welders, it is often diﬃcult initially to create a decent

electric arc, i.e. in terms of the correct setting of welding current and wire

feed rate.

♦ You can work out the ideal settings for the welding current and the

wire feed rate by carrying out trial welds on a test piece.

A properly set electric arc has a mild, uniform buzzing tone.

The penetration depth should be as deep as possible, the weld pool,

however, should not be able to fall through the workpiece.

If you hear a raw or hard rattle, reduce the wire feed rate and switch

up to a higher load level (increase the welding current).

If the wire feed rate is too high and/or the welding current too low, the

welding wire cannot melt properly and dips repeatedly into the weld

bed as far as the workpiece.

A quiet dull sound with a guttering electric arc indicates that the wire

feed is insuﬃcient.

♦ Increase the wire feed rate or switch to a lower welding current.

If the welding current is too high, the wire will melt before it even

reaches the weld bed. This leads to droplet formation on the welding

wire as well as splash and an irregular electric arc.

♦ The slag may not be removed until the weld has cooled down.

To resume a weld on an interrupted joint:

♦ Start by removing the slag at the starting point.

♦ Ignite the electric arc in the groove, guide it to the continuation point,

melt properly and then continue the weld joint.

CAUTION!

► Please note that the torch must always be put down on an insulated

surface after welding.

♦ Always switch oﬀ the welder after completing welding work and

during breaks and pull the plug out of the mains socket.

Weld types

Forehand welding

The torch is pushed forwards.

Result: lower penetration depth, broader weld, ﬂatter weld bead and

greater fusion error tolerance.

Backhand welding

The torch is dragged from the weld joint.

Result: higher penetration depth, narrower weld, higher weld bead and

lower fusion error tolerance.

Welded joints

There are two basic types of joint types in welding: Butt welds and angle

welding (outer edge, inner edge and overlapping).

Butt welds

With butt welds of up to 2 mm, the weld edges are moved completely

together.

For greater thicknesses, see the table below:

S= 1–3 mm 3–4 mm 4–6 mm

Area d= 0.5–1.5 mm 1.5–2.5 mm 2–3 mm

Fusion face

1–2 mm 2–3 mm 3–4 mm

Vertical

1–1.5 mm 1.5–2.5 mm 2–3 mm

Flat butt welds

Welds should be made without interruption and with a suﬃcient penetra-

tion depth. Therefore, good preparation is extremely important.

■ The factors that inﬂuence the quality of the weld result are: the amper-

age, the distance between weld edges, the inclination of the torch and

the corresponding diameter of the welding wire.

■ The steeper you hold the torch against the workpiece, the higher the

penetration depth and vice versa.

■ To forestall or reduce deformations that can happen during the material

hardening process, it is good to ﬁx the workpiece, where possible,

using a clamp that counteracts the contraction and deformation of the

material.

■ Avoid stiﬀening the welded structure to prevent cracks in the weld.

These problems can be avoided if there is a possibility of turning the

workpiece so that the weld can be carried out in two passes running in

opposite directions.

Welds on an outer edge

The preparation for this is very simple.

For thicker materials, however, it is no longer expedient. In this case, it is

better to prepare a joint as shown opposite in which the edge of a plate is

angled.

Welds on an inner edge

The preparation for this weld joint is very simple and is carried out for thick-

nesses of 5 mm. The dimension “d” needs to be reduced to a minimum

and should always be less than 2 mm.

For thicker materials, however, it is no longer expedient. In this case, it is better

to prepare a joint as shown opposite in which the edge of a plate is angled.

45°45°

Overlap welds

The most usual preparation is that with straight weld edges. The weld can

be undone using a standard angle weld seam. Both workpieces must be

brought as close to each other as possible.

Cleaning and care

WARNING!

► To avoid the danger of electric shock, injury or damage:

–

Before cleaning, always disconnect the mains plug

from the mains power socket.

– Never immerse the ﬂux-core welder or the accessories

in water.

– Allow the ﬂux-core welder and accessories to cool

down before cleaning them.

– Never use abrasive, caustic or scratching cleaning

agents. These can damage the appliance.

■ Keep the ﬂux-core welder clean. Welding equipment must be kept free

of dust to ensure adequate cooling. In especially dirty air, a monthly

cleaning using compressed air is necessary.

■ Protect the ﬂux-core welder from metal dust.

■ Store the ﬂux-core welder in a dry room, secured from access by un-

authorised persons or children.

■ Ensure that the welding lead, the torch and earth clamp are all in

perfect condition.

■ Cables and current-carrying parts of the ﬂux-core welder with dam-

aged insulation are dangerous and can impair the proper functioning

of the appliance.

■ Repairs may only be carried out by authorised repair shops or similarly

qualiﬁed persons.

■ Always disconnect the appliance from the mains power supply before

all maintenance and repair work.

Wire feed

■ Regular cleaning of the wire feed drive and replacement of worn wire

feed rolls.

■ Blow out the steel core with compressed air.

■ Do not tighten the tension spring on the pressure roller too tightly. Ex-

cessive pressure lead to higher abrasion of the steel wire. The dust thus

created deposits in the guide spring and causes an uneven discharge

of the welding wire making it impossible to create an even weld.

Cable assembly

■ Protect the cable assembly from external damage.

■ Never pull it over sharp edges or other objects.

■ Never drive a vehicle over it.

■ Clean the cable assembly regularly.

■ The steel sleeve and torch nozzle are wearing parts.

■ The torch nozzle is exposed to heat radiation and friction from the wire

and must be checked and replaced regularly.

■ Weld splatter collects on the torch nozzle. This must be removed

regularly.

■ For overhead welding, frequent cleaning is necessary.

■ Use nozzle grease or nozzle spray before and after welding. This

prevents too much splatter from accumulating.

Welder

■ The transformer of the welder must be freed of accumulated dust to

ensure that the cooling works properly. In especially dirty air, a monthly

cleaning using compressed air is necessary.

■ Protect the welder from metal dust.
