Preparing for MMA (polarity to basic electrode) DANGER! Electric shock hazard! When the machine is switched on and set to work in MMA mode, its welding sockets are live and ready to strike the welding arc. Do not touch the conductive part of the electrode holder and metal parts at the same time with your hands.
PREPARING FOR TIG WELDING Preparing for TIG (polarity for tungsten electrode) 1. Set the welding power source ON/OFF switch to “O” (unit switched off). 2. Plug the power cable plug into a mains socket outlet. 3. Choose the electrode based on the type of material and thickness of the workpiece to be welded.
PREPARING FOR MIG/MAG WELDING 2.6.1 WIRE SPOOL POSITIONING 1. Open the unit side door to gain access to the spool compartment. 2. Unscrew the cap of the spool holder. 2.6.2 POSITIONING THE WIRE IN THE WIRE FEEDER 1. Lower the wire feeder pressure devices. 3.
7. Close the wire feeder pressure arms. 13. Open the gas solenoid valve by raising the lever (SEL1) located in the spool compartment: 8. Adjust the pressure system so that the arms press the wire with a force that does not deform it while also ensuring constant feed rate 14.
COMMISSIONING USER INTERFACE CODE SYMBOL DESCRIPTION This LED illuminates to show an anomaly in the operating conditions. See § 3.5 ALARM MANAGEMENT page 12. Illumination of this LED indicates the display of the average voltage and current value measured during the final moments of welding.

Parameters/functions setting Manual MIG/MAG mode: the display shows the programmed voltage. MIG/MAG mode: the display shows “MMA”. TIG mode: the display shows “TIG”. Welding The display shows the effective voltage used when welding. Menu function The display shows the value of the parameter or function to be adjusted. The button selects the welding mode (MIG/MAG, MMA, TIG).
UNIT POWER-UP Set the welding power source ON/OFF switch to “I” to switch on the unit. The message appears for a few seconds on the following displays: D1-D2 AL.HEA. First power-up or power-ups following a RESET procedure The welding power source sets up for welding with the factory preset values. Subsequent power-ups The welding power source sets up for welding in the latest stable welding configuration that was active at the time of power-off.
ALARM MANAGEMENT This LED illuminates if an incorrect operating condition occurs. An alarm message appears on the following display: D1-D2 Tab. 1 - Alarm messages MESSAGE MEANING EVENT CHECKS - Make sure that the power required by All functions are disabled. the welding process is lower than the Exceptions: maximum rated power output.
WELDING SETTINGS TORCH TRIGGER MODES 2 STROKE LIFT-ARC TIG WELDING (2T) 1. Touch the workpiece with the torch electrode. 2. Slowly lift the torch to strike the arc. The welding current reaches the pre-set value, by way of an up slope time, if programmed. The current reaches the end current value in the time set in the down slope time parameter.

WELDING PARAMETERS INDUCTANCE Consequences of a higher value: WELDING CURRENT - "Softer welding". Output current value during welding. - Less spatter. - Less positive starting. HOT-START Consequences of a lower value: This parameter aids electrode melting at the time of arc striking. - "Harder welding".

TORCH 1. Check wire feed liner for damage or wear at regular intervals. This is especially important for the non-iron liner which may wear quickly if used for extensive shelf-shield welding. 2. Replace worn contact tips as required. A variable arc is a typical symptom of a worn contact tip. 3.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Arc Welding Hazards The safety information given below is only a summary of the more complete safety information found in the Safety Standards listed in Section 1-5. Read and follow all Safety Standards. Only qualified persons should install, operate, maintain, and repair this unit. During operation, keep everybody, especially children, away.

FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous. Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to remove welding fumes and gases.
Page 35
CYLINDERS can explode if damaged. Shielding gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully. Protect compressed gas cylinders from excessive heat, mechanical shocks, slag, open flames, sparks, and arcs.

EMF Information Considerations about welding and the effects of low frequency electric and magnetic fields. Welding current, as it flows through welding cables, will cause electromagnetic fields. There has been and still is some concern about such fields. However, after examining more than 500 studies spanning 17 years of research, a special blue ribbon committee of the National Research Council concluded that: “The body of evidence, in the committee’s judgment, has not demonstrated that exposure to power-frequency electric and magnetic fields is a human-health hazard.”...
