Sheets (SDSs).
1.2 Safety precautions
Users of ESAB 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 equipment. The following recommendations 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 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 equipment must be familiar with:
• its operation
• location of emergency stops
• its function
• relevant safety precautions
• welding and cutting or other applicable operation of the equipment
2. The operator must ensure that:
• no unauthorised person is stationed within the working area of the
equipment when it is started up
• no-one is unprotected when the arc is struck or work is started with the
equipment
3. The workplace must:
• be suitable for the purpose
• be free from drafts

0463 859 001 -6- © ESAB AB 2023
4. Personal safety equipment:
• Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety
glasses, flame-proof clothing, safety gloves
• Do not wear loose-fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc.,
which could become trapped or cause burns
5. General precautions:
• Make sure the return cable is connected securely
• Work on high voltage equipment may only be carried out by a
qualified electrician
• Appropriate fire extinguishing equipment must be clearly marked and
close at hand
• Lubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment

product safety. In case of such damage, all warranty undertakings from ESAB cease to apply.
For ordering information, see the "ACCESSORIES" chapter in the instruction manual.
WARNING!
Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions when
welding and cutting.
ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill
• Install and ground the unit in accordance with instruction manual.
• Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves
or wet clothing.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground.
• Ensure your working position is safe
ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS - Can be dangerous to health
• Welders having pacemakers should consult their physician before
welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers.
• Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
• Welders should use the following procedures to minimize exposure to
EMF:
○ Route the electrode and work cables together on the same
side of your body. Secure them with tape when possible. Do
not place your body between the torch and work cables.
Never coil the torch or work cable around your body. Keep
welding power source and cables as far away from your body
as possible.
○ Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible
to the area being welded.
FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health
• Keep your head out of the fumes.
• 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
• Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter
lens and wear protective clothing.
• Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

1  SAFETY
0463 859 001 -7- © ESAB AB 2023
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing
Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
MOVING PARTS - Can cause injuries
• Keep all doors, panels and covers closed and securely in place. Have
only qualified people remove covers for maintenance and
troubleshooting as necessary. Reinstall panels or covers and close doors
when service is finished and before starting engine.
• Stop engine before installing or connecting unit.
• Keep hands, hair, loose clothing and tools away from moving parts.
FIRE HAZARD
• Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure that there are no inflammable
materials nearby.
• Do not use on closed containers.
HOT SURFACE - Parts can burn
• Do not touch parts bare handed.
• Allow cooling period before working on equipment.
• To handle hot parts, use proper tools and/or insulated welding gloves to
prevent burns.
MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
CAUTION!
This product is solely intended for arc welding.
WARNING!

5.2 Connecting welding and return cables
The power source has two outputs, a positive welding terminal (+) and a negative welding terminal (-),
for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable is connected depends
on the welding method or type of electrode used.
Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return cable’s contact
clamp to the workpiece, and make sure that there is a good contact between the workpiece and the
output for the return cable on the power source.
• For TIG welding, the negative welding terminal (-) is used for the welding torch and
the positive welding terminal (+) is used for the return cable.
• For MMA welding, the welding cable can be connected to the positive welding
terminal (+) or negative welding terminal (-), depending on the type of electrode used.
The connection polarity is stated on the electrode packaging.
5.3 Connect to cooler EC 1001
NOTE!
Take care so that the interface cable does not get squeezed between the power source and
the cooling unit!
NOTE!
Power supply of the cooling unit is done from the welding power source via the connection
cable (for more information, refer to the cooling unit instruction manual).

5  OPERATION

5.4 Fan control
The ET 210iPAdvanced is fitted with a fan as an additional feature. When cooling fan is not in use, the
fan will automatically turns off.
This has two advantages:
1. To minimize power consumption,
2. To minimize the amount of pollutants absorbed into the power source, such as dust.
NOTE!
When cooling requires, the fan will operate otherwise it will automatically turn off.
5.5 Thermal protection
The power source includes thermal protection against overheating. When overheating
occurs the welding is stopped an error message Error206 shows in the display. The
protection is automatically reset when the temperature has been sufficiently reduced.
5.6 Control panel
General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found in the "Safety precautions" section
in the "SAFETY" chapter of this manual.
General information about operation can be found in the "OPERATION" chapter of this manual.
