Foreword Electric and Magnetic Fields During the operations of the welding machine an electromagnetic field (EMF) can be created and may caused health problems. The operator is responsible for the proper installation and use of the device according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Regulations for the prevention of accidents 3 Regulations for the prevention of accidents The use of welding equipment and welding itself are always associated with a certain safety risk. Therefore each set up and operation of the device assumes that the instruction manual is understood and complied. The properly used welding machine grants a high degree of operational security but can, in case of improper handling, lead to property and personal damage.
Regulations for the prevention of accidents Operator protection All people must be protected during the welding process, with appropriate measures against UV radiation, noise, heat and gas pollutants emitted during welding. Never expose yourself to the influences of arc and the hot metal slag without a protective mask and appropriate protection. Welding work without consideration of these standards could cause serious health problems.
Regulations for the prevention of accidents Risk of poisoning Gases and fumes that are harmful when inhaled for a longer time can be released while welding. Because of this, the following safety guidelines have to be observed: Ensure that you have adequate ventilation for the work area. During the processing of materials such as, beryllium, potassium, zinc, or galvanized and painted ...
Regulations for the prevention of accidents Transport of the power source The unit is generally suitable for transport. The following requirements must be made to ensure an ease transport: The device may only be lifted and transported with the provided handle. ...
Page 10
Regulations for the prevention of accidents Dust and cooling system: The device has to be positioned in a way that sufficient air can flow through the cooling fins and the cooling channels. The unit adjusts the cooling system automatically! Please pay attention, that no metal dust can be sucked.
TIG welding for all metals, aluminium, and its alloys, as well as MMA welding with any type of electrode. The DTX-2200 AC/DC units are the ideal solution for all professional welding applications and for maintenance work that calls for power and portability.

Operation Image 3 Image 4 TIG WELDING WITH “Lift” TYPE STRIKING 4a) Open the gas cylinder and flow regulator (8-14 l/min). 5a) Put the electrode at the point at which welding is to begin, put the TIG torch at an angle so that the edge of the gas nozzle is not on top of the piece to be welded, keeping contact between the point of the electrode and the piece to be welded (Image.
Operation 14.1.1 Part to be welded The part to be welded must always be connected to ground in order to reduce electromagnetic emission. Much attention must be afforded so that the ground connection of the part to be welded does not increase the risk of accident to the user or the risk of damage to other electric equipment.
Operation 14.2 Electrode welding (MMA) The welding electrode is used to weld most metals (various types steel, etc.),for which rutilic and basic electrodes are used. 1) Connecting the welding cables (Image 6): Disconnect the machine from the main power supply and connect the welding cables to the output terminals (Positive and Negative) of the welding machine, attaching them to the clamp and ground with the polarity specified for the type of electrode being used (Image 6).
Operation 14.2.2 Welding Parameters Table 4 shows some general indications for the choice of electrode, based on the thickness of the parts to be welded. The values of current to use are shown in table 5 with the respective electrodes for the welding of common steels and low-grade alloys.
