Thank you for your choic ! B for installing and using th product or b for maint nanc , pl as r ad car fully th following saf ty
r comm ndations in ord r to avoid accid nts to th us rs and damag of th w lding proc ss.
GYS cannot b h ld r sponsibl for th damag s occurring to p rsons or b longings, following th us of th machin in th following
circumstanc s:
- Modification or disabling of saf ty l m nts,
- Non-r sp ct of th r comm ndations writt n in th us r manual,
- Modification of th charact ristics of th product,
- Us of acc ssori s oth r than th GYS acc ssori s , or acc ssori s not adapt d to th machin
- Non-r sp ct of th r gulations and particular dispositions in th country wh r th machin is install d.
1- PRESENTATION, SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
This product has b n d sign d to carry out th following op rations in car body workshops :
- Spot w lding on m tal sh ts with a pn umatic clamp,
- W lding of m tal sh ts with a singl sid d gun,
- W lding of nails, riv ts, wash rs and studs,
- R pair of bumps and impacts (impacts of hail with th option « quick r pair”).
GENERALITIES
1. Th op rators must hav follow d up an appropriat training.
2. Th r pair and maint nanc op rations can only b p rform d by qualifi d p rsonn l.
3. Th op rator is r sponsibl for th r sp ct of th car manufactur r’s r comm ndations, r garding th prot ction of th car l ctrical and
l ctronic quipm nts (car comput r, car radio, alarm, air bag, tc…).
4. B for any r pair or maint nanc op ration, th compr ss d air supply must b disconn ct d and d pr ssuriz d.
5. Th l ctrod s, arms, as w ll as th oth r s condary conductors can r ach a v ry high t mp ratur and r main hot v ry long aft r having
stopp d th machin . Pay particular att ntion to th risks of s rious burns.
6. It is n c ssary to mak a r gular pr v ntiv maint nanc on th machin .
MAINS SUPPLY
1. Ch ck wh th r th unit is corr ctly conn ct d to th arth and that th conn ction to th arth is in good condition.
2. Ch ck wh th r th workb nch is conn ct d to th arth coupl r.
3. Mak sur that th op rator has no contact with th m tal parts to b w ld d without any prot ction or with w t cloth s.
4. Avoid b ing in contact with th w lding part.
5. Do not mak any spot w lding op rations in v ry w t ar as or on a w t floor.
6. Do not w ld with worn out cabl s. Mak sur that th r is no isolation d f ct, nor stripp d cabl s nor loos conn ctions, and that th r is no
cooling liquid l aks.
7. B for p rforming any control or maint nanc op ration, switch off and disconn ct th unit dir ctly from th plug.
EYE AND BODY PROTECTION
1. During th w lding proc ss, th op rator must prot ct hims lf from possibl proj ctions of st l in fusion with cloth s lik : l ath r glov s,
w lding aprons, saf ty sho s, w lding h lm ts or glass s for filt ring radiations and proj ctions. Similarly, during grinding or hamm ring op rations,
th op rator must w ar y prot ction.
2. Th tight ning forc of th clamp can r ach 550 daN. K p away all body parts from th mobil l m nts of th clamp to avoid any risk of
squ zing, of fing rs in particular.
3. Do not w ar rings, watch s, or j w ll ry, which ar curr nt conductors and can caus s rious burns.
4. All th prot ction boards must b in good condition and maintain d in plac .
N v r look at a w lding arc without any y prot ction.
Prot ct th nvironm nt n ar th product against proj ctions and r fl ctions.
FIRE
1. Mak sur that th sparks will not caus fir , sp cially n ar flammabl mat rial.
2. Ch ck that fir xtinguish rs ar n ar th op rator.
3. Us th product in a room with xtractor fans
4. Do not w ld on combustibl or lubricant contain rs, v n mpty, nor on contain rs containing flammabl mat rial.
5. Do not w ld in an atmosph r charg d with flammabl gas or fu l fum s.
ELECTRO-MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
N ar th spot-w lding machin , ch ck wh th r :
- th r ar no oth r pow r supply cabl , no control lin s, no t l phon cabl s, no radio or TV r c ption applianc s, no watch s, no mobil phon s,
no magn tic cards, no comput rs nor any oth r l ctronic applianc .
- th r ar , in th surroundings, no p rsons using activ m dical applianc s (pac mak rs, acoustic prosth tics).
Plan xtra prot ctions if oth r products ar to b us d in th vicinity of th machin .
This product is d sign d to b us d in an industrial or prof ssional nvironm nt, as d fin d in th CISPR11 publication. In a diff r nt nvironm nt,
it might b difficult to nsur l ctromagn tic compatibility.

3- INSTALLATION OF THE MACHINE
Before use
S v ral v rifications ar n c ssary b for using th unit to nsur good p rformanc of th machin .
H r ar th v rifications to do :
-Ch ck th l ctrical lin voltag : it should b 400V, 3 phas s, with a 32 A delayed circuit breaker, curve D
(or fuse of aM type).
- Ch ck th cross s ction of th cabl going from th main l ctrical board to th sock t wh r th machin will
b plugg d : it should b 4x6 mm2. If this cabl is long r than 10m, us a conductor siz of 10mm². If you us
an l ctrical xt nsion cord, us a 6mm² conductor siz (10mm² if l ctrical lin + xt nsion cord total l ngth is
sup rior to 10m).
- Conn ct a 3 phase + earth plug (minimum 32A) on th supply cabl .
-B car ful: in ord r to avoid voltag drops which can g n rat bad w lding spots, you must n v r hav
ov rload d l ctrical lin s, nor supply cabl diam t rs which cross s ction ar not larg nough. Also, th mains
plugs must not b too far from th circuit br ak r.
-If th machin is not suffici ntly suppli d, it is not possibl to nsur a good w lding quality.
-Ch ck that th air compressed n twork can d liv r a mi imum of 7 bars (dry air), th n conn ct th
compr ss d air n twork on th back of th machin . Th machin must not b us d on an air compr ss d
n twork with a pr ssur inf rior to 3 bars.
