Safety in Welding - 1 This machine has been designed for arc welding with shielded metals. Cannot be used for any other purpose. Only qualified personnel should use this machine. Be sure that all installation, operation, maintenance and repair procedures are performed only by qualified person. Before operating the machine read and understand the operation manual.
Safety in Welding - 2 ELECTRICALLY POWERED EQUIPMENT: Turn off input power using the switch at the fuse box before working on the equipment. Electrical connections should be performed adequate to the obligated rules. GROUNDING: For your safety and trouble-free operation, electrical supply cables should be connected to a proper grounded receptacle.
General Features EXPRESSWELD Inverter 251-ULTRA, is an inverter welding machine which is manufactured by using the latest inverter technology and inverter arc welding power units is a technology that has been emerged as of 1980s in international market. 50Hz/60Hz frequency is converted to 20 KHz and higher, in other words to high...
Installation and Operator Instructions Read this entire section before installation or operation of the machine. Location and Environment: However, it is important that simple preventative measures are followed to assure long life and reliable operation. 1 - Do not put or operate the machine on a surface that is inclined above 15°. 2 - The machine must be operated in an environment with fresh air flow and there musn't be any factor that blocks or stops the ventilation or fresh air flow.

Preparation for Operation -1 Input Cable Connection / Controller and Usage Features: Before starting the machine, check input voltage, phases and frequency. Input voltage values to be used are determined in “Specifications” sections of the user manual and in the plate located on the machine. Make sure that the grounding of the cables connecting the machine to mains supply are suitable and sufficient amount of current for normal operation of the machine can be supplied.
Preparation for Operation REAR PANEL 1 - Power Indicator Lamp: Indicates that the machine is active. 2 - Welding Current Adjusting Knob: Adjusts machine's output current (welding ampere). 3 - Digital Ammeter: Indicates machine's output current value. 4 - Positive (+) Connector: Positive (+) output connection for welding current. 5 - Negative (-) Connector: Negative (-) output connection for welding current.

Maintenance & Troubleshooting - 1 In order to work the welding machine with high efficiency and in safe, periodical maintenance is required. The operator is supposed to understand the maintenance procedures, to be used to machine, to be able to make basic controls by self, and eliminate the operator mistakes. Maintenance details are given below.
Maintenance and Troubleshooting - 2 THREE-MONTH MAINTENANCE Check if the actual current value is same with the current value set with potentiometer. Actual current value is measured with clamp meter. Caution! For every kind of maintenance and repair operations, contact to the nearest authorized Kaynak Teknigi Sanayi ve Ticaret A.S.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting - 5 PROBLEM POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLUTION When the machine Something get jammed Remove jammed piece. turns on, power in fan blades. indicator lamp lights on, but fan does not Fan capacitor is faulty. Change the capacitor. If necessary, operate.
Electromagnetic Compatibility - 1 While welding, do not turn on/off the power switch. This situation may cause voltage fluctuations in mains as well as shorten the economic life of the machine. After the power unit is "ON", to make the machine electrically stabilized, the welding operation should be started after 5-10 seconds hold-on duration.
Electromagnetic Compatibility - 2 To reduce the effect and exposure level of electromagnetic waves produced by the machine, below warnings should certainly taken into account: 1- Mains supply connection should be performed as explained in the user manual. If electromagnetic interference occurs, it may be necessary to take some precautions like filtering the electric main.
Transportation and Storage Conditions When it is not in use, to protect the machine from the dust and the other possible contaminants in the environment, and particularly when transferring it for long distance, place the welding machine in its box. Do not drop the machine and pay attention against the strong mechanical shocks.
