Machine description – quick overview Machine control – Operating elements Item Symbol Description Excess temperature signal light In case of excess temperature, temperature monitors de-activate the power unit, and the excess temperature control lamp comes on. Once the machine has cooled down, welding can continue without any further measures.
Design and function Transport and installation Design and function WARNING Risk of injury from electric shock! Contact with live parts, e.g. welding current sockets, is potentially fatal! • Follow safety instructions on the opening pages of the operating instructions. • Commissioning may only be carried out by persons who have the relevant expertise of working with arc welding machines! •...
Design and function Transport and installation 5.1.3 Ambient conditions T he machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and operated on a suitable, stable and level base! • The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient lighting for the place of work.
Design and function Transport and installation Fully unroll welding current leads, torch hose packages and intermediate hose packages. Avoid loops! Always keep leads as short as possible! Lay any excess cable lengths in meanders. Figure 5-3 5.1.5.1 Stray welding currents WARNING Risk of injury due to stray welding currents!

Design and function MMA welding Type Electrode type Rutile Rutile-basic Basic Rutile cellulose Cellulose 5.3.3 Arcforce During the welding process, arcforce prevents the electrode sticking in the weld pool with increases in current. This makes it easier to weld large-drop melting electrode types at low current strengths with a short arc in particular.
Design and function MMA welding 5.3.6 Average value pulse welding Average value pulse welding means that two currents are switched periodically, a current average value (AMP), a pulse current (Ipuls), a balance ( ) and a frequency ( ) having been defined first. The predefined ampere current average value is decisive, the pulse current (Ipuls) is defined by the parameter as a percentage of the current average value (AMP).
Design and function MMA welding 5.3.7 Expert menu (MMA) The Expert menu has adjustable parameters stored that don’t require regular setting. The number of parameters shown may be limited, e.g. if a function is deactivated. The setting ranges for the parameter values are summarised in the Parameter overview section >...
