1. Safety • 1.1. Signal Explanation The above signals mean warning! Notice! Running parts and getting an electric shock or thermal parts will take damage for your body or others. The corresponding notices are as follows. It is quite a safe operation after taking several necessary protection measures.

Never simultaneously touch electrically “hot” parts of electrode holders connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.

DO NOT adds the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use. •...
2. SUMMARY • 2.1. Brief Introduction MMA- series(discrete)welder is a MMA arc welder which adopts the latest pulse width modulation (PWM) technology and the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module. It can change work frequency to medium frequency so as to replace the traditional hulking work frequency transformer with the cabinet medium frequency transformer.
• 2.3. Working Principle The working principle of MMA- series(discrete)welder is shown as the following figure. Single/Three-phase 220V work frequency AC is rectified into DC (about 310V), then is converted to medium frequency AC (about 40KHz) by inverter device (IGBT), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main transformer) and rectified by medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diode), and is outputted by inductance filtering.
• 3.2. Duty cycle & Over heat The letter “X” stands for duty cycle, which is defined as the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within a certain time (10 minutes). The rated duty cycle means the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within 10 minutes when it outputs the rated welding current.
• 3.4. Welding polarity connection way • 3.4.1. MMA Choosing the connection of DCEN or DCEP is based on the arc stable burning condition. The different electrodes need different connection way. Please refer to the electrode manual. • 3.4.2. TIG GM-2000 ●...
Stricking arc of TIG operation:when tungsten electrode touches the workpiece,the short-circuit current is only 28A. After generating arc, current can rise to the setting welding current.If the tungesten electrode touches the workpiece when welding, the current will drop to 5A within 2s, which can reduce the tungsten spoilage farthestly,prolong the using life of the tungsten electrode,and prevent tungsten clipping.
4. PARAMETERS • 4.1. Layout for front & rear panel Function select key: Select MMA or LIFT TIG. ARC FORCE light: This light when lit indicates that the added arc force value can be set by the adjustment knob. MMA current adjust: This light when lit indicates that the welding current value of MMA can be set by the adjustment knob.
• 4.2. Welding current adjustment Adjustment knob position multi circle potentiometer, next to no mark the specific welding current value size, clockwise rotation set value increased. Welding current range is 10~315A. MMA- series(discrete)has the function of welding current pre- setting. Before welding, adjusting welding current, the welding current display will show the ampere.
electrode electrode electrode upright workpiece workpiece touch workpiece 2~4mm Take the electrode upright The Electrode touch the workpiece Lift up for about 2-4mm Lifting arc: take the electrode to scrape the workpiece for striking arc. But it may cause the arc scratch, so must to lift arc in the groove.
• 4.6. Welding parameters • 4.6.1. Joint form in MMA In MMA welding, the common basic joint form: butt joint, lap joint, corner joint & T joint. butt joint lap joint corner joint T joint • 4.6.2. Electrode selection The electrode diameter selection is based on the workpiece thickness, welding position, joint form, welding layer, etc.
Electrode should be drying according to user manual before using. For reducing the hydrogen of the molten pool and welding seam, and avoiding the blowhole and cold crack. In the welding process, the arc must not be too long; otherwise, it will cause unstable arc burning, large spatter, light penetration, undercut, blowhole, etc.

5. OPERATION CONTROL & CONNECTORS • 5.1. Maintenance In order to guarantee that arc welding machine works high-efficiently and in safety, it must be maintained regularly. Let customers understand the maintenance methods and means of arc welding machine more, enable customers to carry on simple examination and safeguarding by oneself, try one's best to reduce the fault rate and repair times of arc welding machine, so as to lengthen service life of arc welding machine .Maintenance items in detail are in the following table.
Using the dry compressed air to clear the inside of arc welding machine. Especially for clearing up the dusts on radiator, main voltage transformer, Monthly inductance, discrete IGBT, the fast recover diode and PCB, etc. examination Check up the bolt in arc welding machine, if it is loose, please screw down it. If it is skid, please replace.
