OPERATOR’S MANUAL Inverter DC TIG /MMA Arc Welding Machine 2009.11 IMPORTANT: Read this Owner’s Manual Completely before attempting to use this equipment. Save this manual and keep it handy for quick reference. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions we have provided for your protection. Contact your distributor if you do not fully understand this manual.
§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. §1.2 Arc Welding Damage ...

operating or repairing equipment. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running. DO NOT adds the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running.
A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame. Never allow the electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts to touch a cylinder. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve. ...
§2 SUMMARY This operation manual is suitable for the models of GT-1600, 2000. § 2.1 Brief Introduction GT- series welding machine is a general TIG arc welder which adopts the latest pulse width modulation (PWM) technology and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module, which can realize TIG operation and change work frequency to medium frequency so as to replace the traditional hulking work frequency transformer with the cabinet medium frequency transformer.
rectified into DC (about 380V) with PFC, then is converted to medium frequency AC (about 50KHz) by inverter device (IGBT module), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main transformer) and rectifying by medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diodes), and is output by inductance filtering.

§5 MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING §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.
Observe that Whether the current output cable is damaged. If it is damaged, it should be wrapped up, insulated or changed. Using the dry compressed air to clear the inside of arc welding machine. Especially for clearing up the dusts on radiator, main voltage transformer, inductance, IGBT module, the Monthly fast recover diode and PCB, etc.
