ment. Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to hazardous situations which can result in in

jury to the operator and damage to the equipment.

1. Anyone who uses the equipment must be familiar with:

Sits operation

Slocation of emergency stops

Sits function

Srelevant safety precautions

Swelding and cutting

2. The operator must ensure that:

Sno unauthorised person is stationed within the working area of the equipment when it is

started up.

Sno-one is unprotected when the arc is struck

3. The workplace must:

Sbe suitable for the purpose

Sbe free from drafts

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.

Dispose of electronic equipment at the recycling facility!

In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on Waste Electrical and Electronic

Equipment and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical and/or

electronic equipment that has reached the end of its life must be disposed of at a

recycling facility.

As the person responsible for the equipment, it is your responsibility to obtain

information on approved collection stations.

For further information contact the nearest ESAB dealer.

ESAB can provide you with all necessary welding protection and accessories.

2 INTRODUCTION

Mig C170 3ph, Mig C200 3ph and Mig C250 3ph are step controlled power

sources of a compact design, intended for welding with solid steel, stainless steel or

aluminium wire as well as tubular wire with or without shielding gas. It is possible to

weld with homogeneous wire/shielding gas and weld with gasless tubular wire by

switching the + and - connections on the switching terminal by the wire feed unit.

ESAB's accessories for the product can be found on page 20.

Application classification

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.

Application class

The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased

electrical hazard.

4 INSTALLATION

The installation must be carried out by a professional.

Note!

Connect the power source to the electricity mains with a network impedance of 0.268 (C250 3ph) ohm

or lower. If the network impedance is higher, there is a risk of flicker in the illuminators.

CAUTION

This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may

cause radio interference. It is the user's responsibility to take adequate precautions.
