Proper grounding is essential for the safe operation of the ESAB EMP 205ic AC-DC Multi-Process Arc Welding Machine. Here is how you can properly ground the machine:
1. Locate the grounding lug on the machine. It is usually located near the power input terminals.
2. Ensure that the machine is turned off and disconnected from the power source before proceeding.
3. Attach a suitable grounding cable to the grounding lug on the machine. The cable should have a lug or clamp on one end to connect to the machine and a lug or clamp on the other end to connect to a proper grounding point.
4. Identify a suitable grounding point. This should be a clean, unpainted metal surface that is securely connected to the earth. Examples of suitable grounding points include metal water pipes, metal building structures, or dedicated grounding rods.
5. Clean the grounding point to ensure a good electrical connection. Remove any paint, rust, or other contaminants from the surface.
6. Attach the other end of the grounding cable to the grounding point. Ensure that the connection is secure and tight.
7. Inspect the grounding cable for any damage or wear. If the cable is damaged, it should be replaced before use.
8. Once the grounding cable is properly connected, you can connect the machine to the power source and turn it on.
It is important to follow these grounding instructions to prevent electric shock and ensure the safe operation of the welding machine. For more detailed information and illustrations, please refer to the ESAB EMP 205ic AC-DC Multi-Process Arc Welding Machine Instruction Manual.
