1SAFETY
Users of ESAB welding equipment have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring that anyone who
works on or near the equipment observes all the relevant safety precautions. Safety precautions
must meet the requirements that apply to this type of welding equipment. The following recommen-
dations should be observed in addition to the standard regulations that apply to the workplace.
All work must be carried out by trained personnel well--acquainted with the operation of the welding
equipment. Incorrect operation of the equipment may lead to hazardous situations which can result
in injury to the operator and damage to the equipment.
1. Anyone who uses the welding equipment must be familiar with:
Sits operation
Slocation of emergency stops
Sits function
Srelevant safety precautions
Swelding
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 draughts
4. Personal safety equipment
SAlways wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses, flame--proof
clothing, safety gloves.
SDo not wear loose--fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which could become
trapped or cause burns.
5. General precautions
SMake sure the return cable is connected securely.
SWork on high voltage equipment may only be carried out by a qualified electrician.
SAppropriate fire extinquishing equipment must be clearly marked and close at hand.
SLubrication and maintenance must not be carried out on the equipment during operation.
Mind the following:
SThat the freewheel clutch of the gear shall be in locked position.
SThat, if the operator leaves the machine, it shall be parked with blocks in front of the wheels,
in order to prevent the machine from moving unintentionally.
SMake sure that the automatic welding machine is not unstable before start.
SThat the placement of the welding head and the wire reel influence the centre of gravity of
the machine.
Too high a centre of gravity means an unstable welding machine.
SThat the consumption of wire and flux results in displacement of the weight distribution during
the welding.

WARNING
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAU-
TIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.
ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill
SInstall and earth the welding 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!

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 General
The A6 TF automatic welding machines are designed for Submerged--arc welding
(SAW) of butt and fillet joints.
All other applications are prohibited.
They are intended for use in combination with A2--A6 Process Controller (PEH) and
ESAB’s welding power sources LAF or TAF.
2.2 Welding Method
2.2.1 Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
SSubmerged--arc Heavy duty
Submerged--arc heavy duty, with a ∅35 mm connector, which permits a load of
up to 1500 A.
This version can be equipped with feed rollers for single or twin wire welding
(twin--arc). A special knurled feed roller is available for flux--cored wire, which
guarantees even wire feed without the risk of deformation due to high feed pressure.
2.3 Definitions
SAW welding The weld bead is protected by a cover of flux during the
welding.
SAW Heavy duty This version permits a load up to 1500 A (100%) and weld-
ing with a thick wire.
Twin--arc welding Welding with two wires in one welding head.
2.4 Horizontal Welding
The automatic welding machines are designed for horizontal welding.
They are not to be used for welding on inclined planes.
The following exception can be made, if special precautionary measures and
settings on the automatic welding machines are applied:
Sat inclinations up to 20 degrees sideways.
Read section 5, on page 4.

2.7 Description of Main Components
2.7.1 Carriage
The carriage is provided with 4--wheel drive.
The carriage can be secured by way of the
locking lever (1).
2.7.2 Carrier
The control box, wire feed unit and flux
hopper, among other things, are to be fitted
on the carrier.
2.7.3 Wire Feed Unit
The unit is used for guiding and feeding the welding wire down into the connector.
2.7.4 Manual Slides
The horizontal and vertical position of the welding head is adjusted by way of linear
slides. The angular motion can be freely adjusted using the rotary slide.
2.7.5 Connector
Transfers welding current to the wire during welding.
2.7.6 Motor with gear (A6 VEC)
The motor is used for feeding the welding wire.
For more information regarding the A6 VEC see instruction manual 0443 393 xxx.
2.7.7 Flux Hopper / Flux Tube / Flux nozzle
The flux is filled into the flux hopper and is then transferred to the workpiece through
the flux tube and the flux nozzle.
The amount of flux to be dropped down is controlled by way of the flux valve fitted to
the flux hopper.
See “Refilling with flux on page 16.

3 INSTALLATION
3.1 General
The installation must be executed by a professional.
WARNING
Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.
3.2 Mounting
3.2.1 Wire drum (Accessories)
Wire drum (1) is mounted on the brake hub (2).
SCheck that the carrier (3) is pointing upwards.
NOTE! The maximum angle for the wire bobbin is 25°.
At extreme angles, wear will occur on the brake hub
locking mechanism and the wire bobbin will slide off
the brake hub.
WARNING
To prevent the reel sliding off the hub:
S
Lock the reel in place by turning the red knob as shown
on the warning label attached next to the hub.
3.3 Adjusting the brake hub
The brake hub is adjusted when delivered, if readjustment
is required, follow the instructions below. Adjust the brake
hub so that wire is slightly slack when wire feed stops.
SAdjusting the braking torque:
STurn the red handle to the locked
position.
SInsert a screwdriver into the springs in the hub.
Turn the springs clockwise to reduce the braking torque
Turn the springs anticlockwise to increase the braking torque.
NB: Turn both springs through the same amount.
