6.2 Functions explanation
The ESABMig C420 is equipped with standard control unit. Welder can manually
select and adjust all welding parameters.
S Wire speed 75 – 1000 ipm (1,9 – 25m/min) is set with knob [12].
S The stroke control (2/4 stroke) is selected with switch [13].
S Creep start i.e. start with 50% wire speed is toggled ON/OFF with switch [14].
S Burn back time is set with knob (0 – 0,5 sec) [15].
Digital instrument displays continously the actual welding current and voltage, when
welding process is stopped – the last values are memorised (HOLD – function).
6.2.1 Start
When machine is switched on by the mains switch [1], indicating lamps [4,5] are
checked for 2 seconds. Normally, if the machine is not overheated, it should start to
work in idle mode, which is indicated by blinking of the supply–ON lamp [4]. The fan
is stopped and starts from the first start of welding.
6.2.2 Overheating protection
The power source has 2–step control of fan speed and overheating protection.
If temperature crosses the threshold point, the fan starts to run with increased
speed. If the internal temperature becomes too high, the welding is interrupted and
disabled. This state is indicated by permanent lighting of the orange indicating lamp
on the front of the unit. It resets automatically when the temperature falls down.
6.2.3 Idle mode
The machine can run in the idle mode. The fan is switched off 5 min after the end of
the last welding, or after 5 min of run with decreased speed without welding, then
the power supply lamp [4] on the front panel is blinking.

7 MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Maintenance must be executed by a professional.
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorised
personnel) may remove the safety plates.
Note!
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself
attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any
faults.
7.1 Inspection and cleaning
Check regularly that the power source is free from dirt.
The power source should be regularly blown clean using dry compressed air at reduced
pressure. More frequently in dirty environments.
Otherwise the air inlet/outlet may become blocked and cause overheating. To avoid
this you can use an airfilter.
The airfilter is an accessory. Ordering number can be found on page 38.
Welding gun
S Cleaning and replacement of the welding gun’s wear parts should take place at
regular intervals in order to achieve trouble–free wire feed. Blow the wire guide
clean regularly and clean the contact tip.
GB

C420e1
The brake hub
The hub is adjusted when delivered, if
readjustment is required, follow the instructions
below. Adjust the brake hub so that wire is slightly
slack when wire feed stops.
8 FAULT TRACING
Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorised service technican.
Type of fault Actions
No arc S Check that the mains power supply switch is turned on.
S Check that the welding current supply and return cables are
correctly connected.
S Check that correct current value is set.
Welding current is interrupted
during welding
S Check whether the thermal overload trip has operated
(indicated by the orange lamp on the front).
S Check the main power supply fuses.
Thermal overload trips
operate frequently
S Check to see whether the air filters are clogged.
S Make sure that you are not exceeding the rated data for the
power source (i.e. that the unit is not being overloaded).
