GB 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.
GB WARNING Arc welding and cutting can be injurious to yourself and others. Take precausions 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.
GB 2.1 Equipment Arc 151i, Arc 201i is supplied with a 3 m welding cable, return cable, 3 m mains cable and an instruction manual for power source and control panel. Instruction manuals in other languages can be downloaded from the website, www.esab.com. 2.2 Control panel Control panel A31 Knob for setting the current Mains voltage LED (green) Thermal overload trip indicator (yellow) Control panel A33 Welding process parameters are controlled via the control panel.

GB 4 INSTALLATION The installation must be executed 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).
GB 5 OPERATION General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on page 4. Read through before you start using the equipment! 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.
GB 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.
GB 5.6 TIG welding TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc struck from a tungsten electrode, which does not itself melt. The weld pool and the electrode are protected by shielding gas. TIG welding is particularly useful where high quality is demanded and for welding thin plate. Arc 151i / 201i also has good characteristics for TIG welding.
GB 6.1 Inspection and cleaning Power source Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt. How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on: the welding process, arc times, placement, and the surrounding environment. It is normally sufficient to blow down the power source with dry compressed air (reduced pressure) once a year. Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
GB 8 ORDERING SPARE PARTS Repair and electrical work should be performed by an authorized ESAB serviceman. Use only ESAB original spare and wear parts. Arc 151i, Arc 201i is designed and tested in accordance with the international and Eu ropean standards EN 60974-1 and IEC 60974-10 . It is the obligation of the service unit which has carried out the service or repair work to make sure that the product still conforms to the said standard.
