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 precau-
tions. Safety precautions must meet the requirements that apply to this type of weld-
ing equipment. The following recommendations 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 hazar-
dous situations which can result in injury to the operator and damage to the equip-
ment.
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
Sthe working area/working range is free from objects.
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. Note! Do not use safety gloves
when replacing wire.
SDo not wear loose-fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc., which
could become trapped or cause burns.
5. Protection against other risks
SDust particles of a certain size can be harmful to man.
A ventilation system and extractor should therefore be provided to eliminate
this risk.
SWhen replacing the wire drum, exercise the greatest caution as the end of
the wire could cause personal injury.

6. 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, RISK OF CRUSHING!
Do not use safety gloves when replacing wire, feed rollers and wire bobbins.
GB
WARNING
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND
OTHERS. TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR
EMPLOYER'S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE BASED ON MANU-
FACTURER'S 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 keep fumes and gases 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 inflam-
mable materials nearby.
NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing
SProtect your ears. Use ear defenders or other hearing protection.
SWarn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION
SCall for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS!
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MAN-
UAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.

2 INTRODUCTION
2.1 General
The A6TF F1/ A6TF F1 Twin 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 the control box, PEK and ESAB's
welding power sources LAF or TAF.
2.2 Welding Method
2.2.1 Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
SSubmerged arc Light Duty.
Submerged arc light duty with a Ø 20 mm connector permits a load up to
800 A (100%).
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 Light duty This version permits a load up to 800 A (100%) and
welding with a thin wire.
SAW Heavy duty This version permits a load up to 1500 A (100%) and
welding 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.
