Welding

The OrigoArc 150 gives direct current, and you can weld most metals to alloy and non--alloy
steel, stainless steel and cast iron. The OrigoArc 150 allows you to weld most coated
electrodes from ∅ 1.6 to ∅ 3.25 mm.

Overheating protection

The welding power source has a thermal overload trip which operates if the temperature
becomes too high, interrupting the welding current and lighting a yellow indicating lamp on
the front of the power source. The thermal overload trip resets automatically when the
temperature has fallen.

MAINTENANCE

Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Note!
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself
attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any faults.
The OrigoArc 150 requires little maintenance. In normal cases, it is sufficient to blow it clean
using dry compressed air once a year, but this should be done more often if it is set up in a
dusty, dirty area.
