1 SAFETY

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 recommendations should be observed in addition to the standard regulations that apply to the work

place.

All work must be carried out by trained personnel well-acquainted with the operation of the welding equipment. Incorrect oper

ation 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:

its operation

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

Install and earth the unit in accordance with applicable standards.

Do not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.

Insulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.

Ensure your working stance is safe.

FUMES AND GASES - Can be dangerous to health

Keep your head out of the fumes.

Use 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.

Protect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective

clothing.

Protect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.

FIRE HAZARD

Sparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.

NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing

Protect your ears. Use earmuffs or other hearing protection.

Warn 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

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.

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

Mains supply requirements

High power equipment may, due to the primary current drawn from the mains supply, influence the

power quality of the grid. Therefore connection restrictions or requirements regarding the

maximum permissible mains impedance or the required minimum supply capacity at the interface

point to the public grid may apply for some types of equipment (see technical data). In this case it

is the responsibility of the installer or user of the equipment to ensure, by consultation with the

distribution network operator if necessary, that the equipment may be connected.

4.1 Location

Position the power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not

obstructed.

4.2 Mains power supply

Check that the welding power source is connected to

the correct voltage and that the correct fuse size is used.

A protective earth connection must be made in accordance

with regulations

5 OPERATION

5.1 PFC - Power factor correction

The CaddyArc 151i/201i are 230 V single-phase power sources equipped with a

PFC circuit making it possible to use the full range of the machine on a 16 A fuse.

The PFC also protects the machines against fluctuating mains voltage and makes it

safer to use with a generator. CaddyArc 151i/201i can operate with extra long

mains cables, over 100 m, giving you a very larger working radius.

5.3 Connection of welding and return cable

The power source has two outputs, a positive terminal (+) and a negative terminal

(-), for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable

is connected depends on the type of electrode used. The connecting polarity is

stated on the electrode packaging. Connect the welding cable to the terminal stated

on the electrode packaging.

Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return

cable's contact clamp to the work piece and ensure that there is good contact

between the work piece and the output for the return cable on the power source.

5.4 Overheating protection

The welding power source has a thermal overload trip which operates if the

temperature becomes too high, interrupting the welding current and lighting a yellow

indicating lamp on the front of the power source. The thermal overload trip resets

automatically when the temperature has fallen.

5.5 MMA welding

Arc 151i / 201i gives direct current, and you can weld most metals to alloy and non-

alloy steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

Arc 151i / 201i allows you to weld most coated electrodes from Ø1.6 to Ø3.25.

MMA welding may also be referred to as welding with coated electrodes. Striking the arc

melts the electrode, and its coating forms protective slag.

If, when striking the arc, the tip of the electrode is pressed against the metal, it immedi

ately melts and sticks to the metal, rendering continued welding impossible.

Therefore, the arc has to be struck in the same way that you would light a match.

Quickly strike the electrode against the metal, then raise it so

as to give an appropriate arc length (approx. 2 mm). If the arc

is too long, it will crackle and spit before finally going out com

pletely.

If you are working on a welding bench, check before attempting

to strike the arc that residual waste metal, pieces of electrode

or other objects on the bench do not insulate the part to be

welded.

Once the arc has been struck, move the electrode from left to

right. The electrode must be at an angle of 60°to the metal in

relation to the direction of welding.

When you want to weld wide beads, or when you want the weld

to be so thick that you have to weld in a number of layers, how

ever, you have to use lateral movements.
