② Safety precautions
1
ELECTIC SHOCK can kill!Protect yourself and others from possible serious injury or death.
Although safety factors have been fully considered during the design and manufacture of this SAW tractor, the safety operating
regulations have to be observed during implementation:
● Do not wear wet clothes or glove during welding since welding wire, feeder roller and torch are with electricity, and in no
case those parts should be touched.
● Check carefully the connection between the welding cable and the power source, replacing those broken parts for insulation
purpose immediately.
● In case the working environment is humid or the operation has to be operated on steel plates or steel stands, RCD(residue
current protective device) should be installed.
●The power has to be cut offer before connecting the SAW tractor with the power source or performing repair jobs.
● Do not use cables without enough current carry capacity, or ones that are not intact on surface or inside conductors shown
already.
●The joint of the cables must be clamped tightly and insulated.
● All the power has to be cut off when the tractor is not in use.
Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. To avoid poisoning and suffocation, use enough ventilation
and air breathing apparatus.
● Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations.
Toxic gas and other irritating products will be generated when welding at these locations.
● Harmful fumes and gases maybe produced when welding coated steel plates, keep enough ventilation and protective gadgets
must be used.
5,5 CAUTION! The following safety precautions have to be observed to avoid injury
caused by rotating parts such as gears and feeding rollers
●Safety factor has been fully considered during the design and manufacture of this equipment, however, do
not put your hands, fingers, hairs, sleeves and garment close to gears, feeding rollers in rotation.
● Gears, wire feeder rollers are equipped with casing and protective shields, in no case they should be
removed to avoid injury.
● Do not put on gloves when guiding the wires and changing the wire spool.
● Be sure that all checking, operation, maintenance and repair procedures performed only by qualified
individuals.

The torch inclination should be no more than ±45°,in case the angle is too
attention big, the feeding angle of the wire will be
changed and there will be more obstruction to affect the feeding results and
it may burn feeding motor in worst case.

simultaneously.
Please refer to steps to replacing feeder rollers when replacing feeder rollers
▲ Maintenance of the traveling wheel: the design of the outer ring of the traveling wheel
adopts the rubber featuring anti-oil,anti-acid and anti-alkaline, given the vast different
application situations. Keeping the traveling wheel from direct contact with oily, sharp
scrap iron, glass fragment and acid and alkaline mediums.
Attention
The acid and alkaline mediums will shorten the
service life of traveling wheel.
▲ Check the electric circuit and electronics components periodically, repair and replace them
immediately when necessary.
▲ Keep cables in good condition, check the insulation of the cables frequently, stop working
and replace the cable if it is damaged.
