Use

The PK 40 Dryer Cabinet is intended for drying and storing welding electrodes in the temperature

range 50 - 350

o

C. Due to the risk for injuries or material damage the unit must not be used for

other than its intended purpose, and not in violation of these instructions.

Before use

Check the unit for transport damage. Do not connect a faulty unit to the mains. Check that the

voltage and frequency marked on the rating plate match the values of the mains to which the unit is

to be connected.

Location and connection to mains

To avoid overheating, the clearance to any material must be no less than 0,5 m on any side and no

less than 1 m above the unit. Make sure that there are no obstacles to the airflow around the unit and

no flammable material closer to the unit than the distances mentioned above. The unit must never

be covered. Place the unit on a flat surface. The unit may not be used in environments where there

is danger of explosion (EX).

Using the unit

Take the welding electrodes out of their package. Connect the unit to the mains. Set the desired

temperature with the thermostat. The red hand of the thermostat indicates the temperature set, and

the black hand the current temperature in the cabinet. The red indicator light is lit whenever the unit

is connected to the mains. The green indicator light is lit when the heating resistor is on. Set the

drying temperature recommended by the manufacturer of the electrodes. To ensure sufficient

ventilation of the interior of the unit, the ventilation opening in the door must be open whenever the

unit is operative. Avoid opening the door unnecessarily during operation, as this will lower the

temperature of the cabinet.

Disconnect the unit from the mains when it is not in use.
