5 OPERATION
5.4
Overheating Protection
The welding power source has overheating protection that operates if the temperature
becomes too high. When this occurs the welding current is interrupted and a fault code is
displayed on the control panel.
The overheating protection resets automatically when the temperature has fallen.
5.5
TIG welding
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc struck from a tungsten electrode,
which does not itself melt. The weld pool and the electrode are protected by shielding gas.
For TIG welding, the welding power source is supplemented with:
•
TIG torch, see chapter "ACCESSORIES"
•
an argon gas cylinder
•
an argon gas regulator
•
tungsten electrode
5.6
MMA welding
For MMA welding, the power source is supplemented with:
•
welding cable with electrode clamp, see chapter "ACCESSORIES"
