Page 4: General Safety Rules
GENERAL SAFETY RULES WARNING: Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious injury. CAUTION: Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this BlueARC series until they have read this manual and have developed a BlueArc thorough understanding of how the series works. - Page 5 Do not operate the welder if the output cable, electrode, torch, wire or wire feed system is wet. Do not immerse them in water. These components and the welder must be completely dry before attempting to use them. -Follow the instructions in this manual. -Keep welder in the off position when not in use.
- Page 6 -Fumes emitted from the welding process displace clean air and can result in injury or death. -Do not breathe in fumes emitted by the welding process. Make sure your breathing air is clean and safe. -Work only in a well-ventilated area or use a ventilation device to remove welding fumes from the environment where you will be working.
- Page 7 -Keep work lead connected as close to the weld area as possible to prevent any unknown, unintended paths of electrical current from causing electrical shock and fire hazards. -To prevent any unintended arcs, cut wire back to ¼" stick out after welding. Hot Materials Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly.
- Page 8 - Do not touch or handle PC board without being properly grounded with a wrist strap. Put PC board in static proof bag to move or ship. -Do not put hands or fingers near moving parts such as drive rolls of fan Description The BlueArc series is a DC inverter STICK welder .

Power requirement AC single phase /230V, 50/60HZ fused with a 16amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required. • The equipment class of BlueArc series DC Inverter Arc Welder is class A.The class A equipment is not intended for use in residential locations where the electrical power is provided by the public low-voltage supply system.
- Page 12 3. Setting up the work piece 3.1 Welding positions There are two basic positions, for welding: Flat and Horizontal. Flat welding is generally easier, faster, and allows for better penetration. If possible, the work piece should be positioned so that the bead will run on a flat surface.
- Page 13 4. Ground clamp connection Clear any dirt, rust, scale, oil or paint on the ground clamp. Make certain you have a good solid ground connection. A poor connection at the ground clamp will waste power and heat. Make sure the ground clamp touches the metal.
- Page 14 required for every situation. The type and thickness of metal and the position of the work piece determine the electrode type and the amount of heat needed in the welding process. Heavier and thicker metals required more amperage. It is best to practice your welds on scrap metal which matches the metal you intend to work with to determine correct heat setting and electrode choice.
- Page 15 Heavier and thicker metals require more voltage (amperage), whereas lighter and thinner metals require less voltage (amperage). 2.Welding techniques The best way to teach yourself how to weld is with short periods of practice at regular intervals. All practice welds should be done on scrap metal that can be discarded.
- Page 16 a weld bead, only 2 movements are required; downward and in the direction the weld is to be laid, as in following figure: 2.3 Types of weld bead The following paragraphs discuss the most commonly used arc welding beads. The stringer bead Formed by traveling with the electrode in a straight line while keeping it centered over the weld joint.
- Page 17 2.4 Welding position Flat position is the easiest of the welding positions and is most commonly used. It is best if you can weld in the flat position if at all possible as good results are easier to achieve. The horizontal positionis is performed very much the same as the flat weld except that the angle is different such that the electrode, and therefore the arc force, is directed more toward the metal above the weld joint.
- Page 18 A. Weld speed is too fast. B. Weld speed is too slow. C. Arc is too long. D. Ideal weld. A solid weld bead requires that the electrode be moved slowly and steadily along the weld seam. Moving the electrode rapidly or erratically will prevent proper fusion or create a lumpy, uneven bead.

- Page 23 Service， Maintenance, Transportation and Storage The welder needs regular maintenance as following: Periodically clean dust, dirt, grease, etc. from your welder. Every six months, or as necessary, remove the cover panel from the welder and air-blow any dust and dirt that may have accumulated inside the welder. Replace power cord, ground cable, ground clamp, or electrode assembly when damaged or worn.
