disconnected from the power supply; for pneumatic cylinder-operated spot
welders turn the main switch to "O" and lock it with the supplied padlock,
take out the key and leave it with the person in charge.
- Only use electrodes that are recommended for the machine (see spare parts
list) without altering their shape.
- RISK OF BURNS
Some parts of the spot welder (electrodes arms and nearby areas) may reach
temperatures of over 65°C: suitable protective clothing must be worn.
Allow newly-welded pieces to cool before touching them.
- RISK OF TIPPING AND FALLING
- Place the spot welder on a level horizontal surface that is able to support
its weight; confine the spot welder to the support surface (when required
in the "INSTALLATION" section of this manual). Otherwise with inclined
or uneven floors or moveable supporting surfaces there is the danger of
tipping.
- Never lift the spot welder unless explicitly required by the "INSTALLATION"
section of this handbook.
- When using machines on wheels: disconnect the spot welder from the
electric and pneumatic (if present) power supplies before moving the unit
to another work area. Pay attention to obstacles and unevenness on the
ground (for example cables and piping).
- UNINTENDED USE
It is dangerous to use the spot welder for any purpose other than that for
which it is intended (see INTENDED USE).
PROTECTIONS
The safeguards and moveable parts of the spot welder casing should all be in
position before connection to the power supply.
WARNING: All manual operations on moveable accessible parts of the spot
welder, for example:
- Electrode replacement or maintenance
- Adjusting the position of the arms or electrodes
MUST BE CARRIED OUT WITH THE SPOT WELDER SWITCHED OFF AND
DISCONNECTED FROM THE ELECTRIC AND PNEUMATIC (if present) POWER
SUPPLY.
MAIN SWITCH LOCKED AT "O" WITH LOCK CLOSED AND KEY REMOVED in the
models with PNEUMATIC CYLINDER movement).
STORAGE
- Place the machine and its accessories (with or without packaging) in closed
areas.
- The relative humidity of the air must not exceed 80%.
- The environmental temperature must be between -15°C and 45°C.
If the machine has a water cooling unit and the environmental temperature is
lower than 0°C: add the indicated antifreeze liquid or completely empty the
hydraulic circuit and the water tank.
Always use suitable measures for protecting the machine from humidity, dirt
and corrosion.
2. INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
Mobile resistance welding system (spot welding machine) with digital control by
microprocessor. Equipped with quick coupling for welding cables, makes changing the
tools immediate and easy, which means that lots of hot machining and spot welding
can be carried out on the sheets, specifically in body shops and sectors with similar
activities.
Their main characteristics are:
- automatic choice of the welding parameters;
- automatic recognition of the inserted tool;
- limitation of line overcurrent at insertion (insertion cos φ check);
- backlit LCD display that shows the controls and the set parameters;
The spot welding machine can operate on iron sheets with a low carbon content and
on galvanized iron sheets.
2.2 STANDARD ACCESSORIES
- Studder gun.
- Cable with earth clamp.
- Extractor with mass.
- Various electrodes.
- Consumables box.
2.3 OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
- Manual clamp with cable pair.
- Pairs of electrode arms of different lengths and/or shapes for manual clamp (see
spare parts list).
- Manual "C" clamp with cables.
- Studder Kit without trigger, complete with earth cable (for contact welding without
using the push-button).

3. TECHNICAL DATA

3.1 RATING PLATE (FIG. A)
The main data relating to use and performance of the spot-welder are summarised on
the rating plate and have the following meanings:
1- Number of phases and frequency of power supply.
2- Power supply voltage.
3- Rated mains power with 50% duty cycle.
4- Mains power with permanent running (100%).
5- Maximum loadless voltage over electrodes.
6- Maximum current when electrodes are shorted.
7- Safety symbols, the meaning of which is given in chapter 1 "General safety rules
for resistance welding".
8- Current to secondary when running permanently (100%).
Note: The rating plate shown is an example to show the meaning of the symbols and
numbers; the exact values of the technical properties of your spot-welder can be found
on the rating plate of the spot-welder itself.
