Do not overload welding cables due to voltage losses and heating.
Fasten the earth clamp of the return current cable carefully, preferably direct onto the piece to be
welded. The contact surface of the earth clamp should always be as large as possible.
Clean the fastening surface from paint and rust.

3.1. mAIN SwITCh I/O

When you turn the switch into I-position, pilot lamp H11 on the front face is illuminated and the
machine is ready for use.
Always turn the machine on and off with the mains switch, never use the mains plugs
as a switch.

3.2. PILOT LAmPS

The pilot lamps of the machine report the electric operation:
The green pilot lamp H11 when lit indicates that the machine is on and ready for use and it is
connected to the mains supply with the main switch in the I-position.
H12 indicates when lit that the thermal protection of the machine has been activated due to over
heating. The cooling fan will continue to run and cool the machine down and when the lamp is
off the machine is ready to weld.
3.3. OPERATION OF COOLING FAN
In FastMig™ -power sources there are two simultaneously operating fans.
– The fan is started for a moment when main switch is placed into position I.
– The fan will start during welding as the machine heats up and it will run for 1 to 10 minutes
after the welding has stopped.
