1 SAFETY 1 SAFETY 1.1 Meaning of symbols As used throughout this manual: Means Attention! Be Alert! DANGER! Means immediate hazards which, if not avoided, will result in immediate, serious personal injury or loss of life. WARNING! Means potential hazards which could result in personal injury or loss of life. CAUTION! Means hazards which could result in minor personal injury.
1 SAFETY 5. 6. 7. Hot sparks or metal can lodge in rolled up sleeves, trouser cuffs, or pockets. Sleeves and collars should be kept buttoned and open pockets eliminated from the front of the clothing. Protect other personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable non-flammable partition or curtains. Use goggles over safety glasses when chipping slag or grinding. Chipped slag may be hot and can fly for long distances. Bystanders should also wear goggles over safety glasses.
1 SAFETY ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS May be dangerous. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding and cutting current creates EMF around welding cables and welding machines. Therefore: 1. 2. 3. Welders with pacemakers fitted should consult their doctor before welding. EMF may interfere with some pacemakers. Exposure to EMF may have other health effects which are unknown.
1 SAFETY 3. 4. Always secure cylinders in an upright position, by chain or strap, to suitable hand trucks, undercarriages, benches, wall, post or racks. Never secure cylinders to work tables or fixtures where they may become part of an electrical circuit. When not in use, keep cylinder valves closed. Have valve protection cap in place if regulator is not connected. Secure and move cylinders by using suitable hand trucks. MOVING PARTS Moving parts, such as fans, rotors and belts can cause injury.
1 SAFETY CAUTION! ADDITIONAL SAFETY INFORMATION For more information on safe practices for electric arc welding and cutting equipment, ask your supplier for a copy of “Precautions and Safe Practices for Arc Welding, Cutting and Gouging.” Form 52-529. The following publications are recommended: • • • • • • • • • • 1.3 ANSI/ASC Z49.1 - “Safety in Welding and Cutting” AWS C5.5 - “Recommended Practices for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding” AWS C5.
1 SAFETY 4. 5. Personal safety equipment: ○ Always wear recommended personal safety equipment, such as safety glasses, flame-proof clothing, safety gloves ○ Do not wear loose-fitting items, such as scarves, bracelets, rings, etc.
1 SAFETY 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. NOISE - Excessive noise can damage hearing Protect your ears. Use ear defenders or other hearing protection.

4 INSTALLATION 4 INSTALLATION The installation must be carried out by a professional. 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. 4.1 Location Position the power source so that cooling air inlets and outlets are not obstructed. A. Minimum 8 in. (200 mm) B. Minimum 8 in. (200 mm) WARNING! Secure the equipment - particularly if the ground is uneven or sloping.
4 INSTALLATION 4.3 Main supply The power source will automatically adjust to the supplied input voltage. Make sure that it is protected by the correct fuse rating. A protective ground connection must be made, in accordance with regulations. 1. Rating plate with supply connection data. Recommended fuse sizes and minimum cable area for Rogue ES 130i PRO Power cable for heavy-duty applications (SOOW type) must be used Supply voltage 230 VAC 120 VAC Electrical cable area 14 AWG (2.0 mm2) 14 AWG (2.

5 OPERATION 5 OPERATION 5.1 Overview General safety regulations for handling the equipment can be found in the "SAFETY" chapter of this manual. Read it through before you start using the equipment! NOTE! When moving the equipment, use the handle. Never pull the cables. WARNING! Electric shock! Do not touch the workpiece or the welding head during operation! 5.2 Connections and control devices 1. Setting panel 2. Positive welding terminal 3. Negative welding terminal 5.3 4. Power cable 5.
5 OPERATION • • For TIG (GTAW) welding, the negative welding terminal (-) is used for the welding torch and the positive welding terminal (+) is used for the return cable. For Stick (SMAW) welding, the welding cable can be connected to the positive welding terminal (+) or negative welding terminal (-), depending on the type of electrode used. The connection polarity is stated on the electrode packaging. 5.4 Turning the power on/off Turn on the power by turning the switch to the "ON" (I) position.
5 OPERATION Cel 6010 Optimized arc characteristics for cellulose electrodes, such as 6010. TIG (GTAW) welding TIG welding, also called gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), melts the metal of the workpiece using an arc struck from a tungsten electrode that does not melt. The weld pool and electrode are protected by shielding gas.
