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.

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 your 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 your 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

2 INTRODUCTION

2.1 General

The welding power sources LAE (adapted to fit control equipment PEG--1) can be

converted to r esemble LAF by way of a conversion kit, and by that be adapted to fit

ESAB’s control box A2--A6 Process Controller (PEH) or Welding Control unit (PEI).

For rational conversion all components necessary for the work are contained in the

conversion kit.

of the control transformer.

2. Dismount all electronics boards and their fittings.

3. Dismount the control panel.

4. Remove the support with the attached fuse--bases.

5. Remove the lower fuse (K21.2 = fuse for 42 V AC from the control transformer

K9).

The other two fuses are to be re--used together with the rubber spacers, but

fitted e lsewhere in the power source.

6. Remove the multi--pole contact devices on the bottom plate and cover the holes

by way of two plastic plugs from the kit.

plate.

8. Dismount the terminal block on the control transformer.

9. Cover the contactor and the control transformer before drilling new mounting

holes.

10. Drill the holes according to the drilling diagra m for the attachment of

S the fuse--bases (FU1)

S the electronics board (AP1)
