SInsulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.
SEnsure your working stance is safe.
FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health
SKeep your head out of the fumes.
SUse 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.

2INTRODUCTION
2.1 General
Miggytrac 1001 is designed for MIG/MAG welding of plates and beams.
It is a compact motor--driven carriage, where in one single operation you can fit a
standard welding gun.
The welding carriage is powered by an electric motor. It is provided with a 12--pin
Burndy socket for connection to a corresponding 23--pin socket on the wire feed
units for remote control of the wire feed.
The connection is done by way of two prepared control cables, which are plugged
directly into the ESAB feed unit. The advantage of this is that you get power supply
for the carriage, start and stop functions for the feed unit as well as the possibility of
remote control of current and voltage in one and the same cable. No external power
is necessary.
Miggytrac 1001 is a small compact motor--driven carriage on which an ESAB
standard welding gun can easily be fitted. The four driving wheels together with a
powerful magnet which is integrated in the chassis of the carriage guarantee smooth
and regular operation.
The magnet keeps the carriage in the right position in proportion to the foundation,
even if you weld on bent plates or use long cable bundles.
The magnet is protected behind the stainless steel plate and can be switched off by
way of a grip on top of the chassis, when the carriage is going to be moved or
cleaned. The carriage follows the weld joint by way of two guide wheels, which are
adjusted so as to make the carriage drive diagonally towards the edge of the plate.
The carriage is easy to operate with one switch for the travel direction and one knob
for the speed. There are separate potentiometers for the remote control.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 General
The installation must be executed by a professional.
Miggytrac 1001 can be connected to most of ESAB’s feed units.
For connection to older feed units, please contact your nearest ESAB retailer.
In the case of welding at a great distance from the feed unit an intermediate wire
feed unit (MEK 25) can be connected.
Miggytrac 1001 can also be powered by other welding power sources via a
separate transformer, see page 12.
For connection of the wire feed unit to Miggytrac 1001, use control cable acc. to
Accessories, on page 15.
