1.1 General

This service manual is intended for use by technicians with electrical/electronic

training, for help in connection with fault--tracing and/or repair.

Use the connection diagram as a form of index for the description of operation and

the component description.

The circuit boar d is divided into numbered blocks, which are described individually in

more detail in the description of operation.

All component names in the connection diagram are listed in the component

description.

Note that there are different connection diagrams valid for different serial numbers.

This manual contains details of all design changes that have been made up to and

including March 2007.

For further information see the instruction manuals for LAF.

2SAFETY

Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that anyone who

works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety precautions. Safety precautions

must meet the requirements that apply to this type of welding equipment. The following recommen-

dations should be observed in addition to the standard regulations that apply to the workplace.

All work must be carried out by trained personnel well--acquainted with the operation of the welding

equipment. Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to hazardous situations which can result

in injury to the operator and damage to the equipment.

1. Anyone who uses the welding equipment must be familiar with:

S its operation

S location of emergency stops

S its function

S relevant safety precautions

S welding

2. The operator must ensure that:

S no unauthorised person is stationed within the working area of the equipment when it is

started up.

S no--one is unprotected when the arc is struck

3. The workplace must:

S be suitable for the purpose

S be free from draughts

4. Personal safety equipment

S Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses, flame--proof

clothing, safety gloves.

S Do not wear loose--fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which could become

trapped or cause burns.

5. General precautions

S Make sure the return cable is connected securely.

S Work on high voltage equipment may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

S Appropriate fire extinquishing equipment must be clearly marked and close at hand.

S Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment during operation.

WARNING

READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.

ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU-

TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE

BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.

ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill

S Install and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.

S Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.

S Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

S Ensure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health

S Keep your head out of the fumes.

S Use ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to take fumes and gases away from your breathing zone

and the general area.

ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.

S Protect y our eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective

clothing.

S Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

S Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.

NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing

S Protect y our ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

S Warn bystanders of the risk.

MALFUNCTION -- Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.

PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!

WARNING

This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this

product may cause r adio interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take
