- Page 3 Safety Guidelines These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting machines unless otherwise noted. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for. Using it in any other way could result in damage or injury and in breach of the safety rules. Only suitably trained and competent persons should use the equipment.
- Page 4 Wear suitable protective flame resistant clothing. The sparks and spatter from welding, hot work pieces, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause arcs, explosion, overheating, or fire.
- Page 5 LF Declaration Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements. Due to the elevated absorbency of the primary current from the power supply network, high power systems affect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connection restrictions or maximum impedance requirements permitted by the network at the public network connection point must be applied to these systems.

- Page 14 Welding process select key (9) Synergic Function The operator simply sets the welding current like MMA or TIG welding and the machine calculates the optimal voltage and wire speed for the material type, wire type and size and shielding gas being used. Obviously other variables such as welding joint type and thickness, air temperature affect the optimal voltage and wire feed setting, so the program provides a voltage fine tuning function for the synergic program selected.
- Page 15 DUAL PULSE FREQUENCY Set pulse frequency, as shown in Figure regulating the value of time T, namely, ripple pattern of density regulation. Higher Hz produces many short ripples with slightly lower penetration. DUAL PULSE DUTY Set strong pulse time T1 (peak) for penetration and low-frequency cycle T2 ratio (cooling), namely the regulation of the proportion of the ripple pattern on weld puddle surface and resulting depth in groove.
