WARNING
Read and understand the instruction manual before installing or operating.
Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precautions when welding and
cutting. Ask for your employer's safety practices which should be based on manufacturers' hazard
data.
ELECTRIC SHOCK - Can kill
SInstall and earth the unit in accordance with applicable standards.
SDo not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
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.
SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective
clothing.
SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
FIRE HAZARD
SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing
SProtect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.
SWarn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION - Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
CAUTION
Read and understand the instruction manual before
installing or operating.
CAUTION
This product is solely intended for arc welding.
CAUTION
Class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where
the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system.
There may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility of class A equipment in those locations, due to conducted
as well as radiated disturbances.

Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten-minute period that you can weld or cut at
a certain load without overloading. The duty cycle is valid for 40°C.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid
objects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.

4 INSTALLATION
The installation must be carried out by a professional.
WARNING
When welding in an environment with increased electrical danger, only power
sources intended for this environment may be used. These power sources are
marked with the symbol
4.1 Lifting instructions
5 OPERATION
General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found on
page 4. Read through before you start using the equipment!
WARNING
Assure that the side panels are closed during operation.
WARNING

** Voltage regulation from the wire feed unit does not function with step regulated power sources.
5.2 Function explanations
Water connection
The wire feed unit with water connection is equipped with a detection system ELP
(ESAB Logic Pump) which checks that the water hoses are connected. When
connecting a water-cooled welding gun, the water pump starts.
Detection only works with power sources that are equipped with ELP.
Strain relief
Hook the strain relief onto the hook on the rear side of the feeder unit and the
connection cable.

Safety contact switch
0Welding OFF
1Welding ON
Heat ON (accessory) and welding OFF
The bobbin area is heated so that the welding
wire is not damp when welding .
Gasflow control and burnback time
A= Controlling gas flow.
B= Gas flow meter
C= Setting burnback time.
Burnback time is a delay between the time
when the wire starts to brake until the time
when the power source switches off the
welding voltage. Too short burnback time
results in a long wire stickout after completion
of welding, with a risk of the wire being caught
in the solidifying weld pool. Too long burnback
time results in a shorter stickout, with
increased risk of the arc striking back to the contact tip.
Gas flushing
Gas flushing is used when measuring the gas flow or to flush any air or moisture
from the gas hoses before welding starts. Gas flushing occurs for as long as the
toggle switch is held depressed and occurs without voltage or wire feed starting.
Wire inching
Wire inching is used when one needs to feed wire without welding voltage being
applied. The wire is fed as long as the toggle switch is depressed.
2 stroke
With 2-stroke gasflow starts when the welding gun trigger switch is pressed. The
welding process then starts. Releasing the trigger switch stops welding entirely and
starts burn back time (if selected).
4 stroke
With 4 stroke, the gas flow starts when the welding gun trigger switch is pressed in
and the wire feed starts when it is released. The welding process continues until the
switch is pressed in again, the wire feed and burn back time (if selected) stops when
the switch is released.
