Page 4: Safety
SAFETY Welding and cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people in or near the surrounding working area, if the equipment is not correctly operated. Equipment must only be used under the strict and comprehensive observance of all relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this instruction manual carefully before the installation and operation of this equipment. - Page 5 SAFETY Fire hazard. Welding/cutting on closed containers, such as tanks,drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying sparks from the welding/cutting arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire.
- Page 6 SAFETY CAUTION 1. Working Environment. The environment in which this welding/cutting equipment is installed must be free of grinding dust, corrosive chemicals, flammable gas or materials etc, and at no more than maximum of 80% humidity. ii. When using the machine outdoors protect the machine from direct sun light, rain water and snow etc; the temperature of working environment should be maintained within -10°C to +40°C.

ARC Force Control MMA Arc Force: Turning the knob adjusts the ARC FORCE from 0-100 displayed by the digital meter. The arc force control lets you adjust the force of the arc from a soft buttery arc to a more penetrating, digging type of arc.Higher Arc Force is more suited to Cellulose and Low Hydrogen type elec- trodes where a forceful arc characteristic is preferred to maintain the arc and better control penetration.

INSTALLATION SET UP FOR MMA (STICK) WELDING (1) Connection of Output Cables: Various electrodes require a different polarity for optimum results refer to the electrode manufacturers information for the correct polarity. Most GP electrodes are Electrode connected to output socket, Earth Connected to the output socket. - Page 12 INSTALLATION SET UP FOR MMA (STICK) WELDING (6) Connect the Earth Clamp. (7) Place the electrode into the electrode holder and clamp tight. (8) Strike the electrode on the work to create the arc and hold the electrode steady to maintain the arc. (9) Hold the electrode slightly above the work piece to maintain the arc while travelling at an even speed to create and even weld deposition.

Page 13: Mma(Stick) Welding Guide
MMA(STICK) WELDING GUIDE MMA (Manual Metal Arc) Welding One of the most common types of arc welding is manual metal arc welding (MMA) or stick welding. An electric current is used to strike an arc between the base material and a consumable electrode rod or ‘stick’. The electrode rod is made of a material that is compatible with the base material being welded and is covered with a flux that gives off gaseous vapours that serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination. - Page 14 MMA(STICK) WELDING GUIDE MMA (Stick) Welding Fundamentals Electrode Selection As a general rule, the selection of an electrode is straight forward,in that it is only a matter of selecting an electrode of similar composition to the parent metal. However, for some metals there is a choice of several electrodes, each of which has particular properties to suit specific classes of work.

By pressing the torch switch the machine will activate the gas flow and the HF ignition resulting in the arc igniting across the gap between the tungsten electrode and the work piece.

Page 17: Tig Welding Guide
TIG WELDING GUIDE DC TIG Welding The DC power source uses what is known as DC (direct current) in which the main elec- trical component known as electrons flow in only one direction from the negative pole (terminal) to the positive pole (terminal). In the DC electrical circuit there is an electrical principle at work which should always be taken into account when using any DC circuit. - Page 18 TIG WELDING GUIDE DC Pulse TIG Welding Pulse TIG welding is when the current output (amperage) changes between high and low current. Electronics within the welding machine create the pulse cycle. Welding is done during the high-amperage interval (this high amperage is referred to as peak current). During the low amperage period, the arc is maintained but the current output of the arc is reduced (this low amperage is referred to as base current).
- Page 19 TIG WELDING GUIDE Set up and operation for DC PULSE TIG Welding The VIPERTIG 200P machine has digital pulse frequency control. The Peak Amp and Pulse Frequency time are adjustable, where as the Base Amp and Pulse Width are preset for ease of use. EXAMPLE OF PULSE DC TIG WELDING - SETUP PARAMETERS: Material = Stainless Steel x 2.0mm / Tungsten Electrode = 1.6mm E3 Tungsten / Gas = Argon The following steps are a guide as a starting point for you to set the machine up in Pulse mode to give an...
- Page 20 TIG WELDING GUIDE TIG Welding Fusion Technique Manual TIG welding is often considered the most difficult of all the welding process- es. Because the welder must maintain a short arc length, great care and skill are re- quired to prevent contact between the electrode and the workpiece. Similar to Oxy- gen Acetylene torch welding, Tig welding normally requires two hands and in most instances requires the welder to manually feed a filler wire into the weld pool with one hand while manipulating the welding torch in the other.
- Page 21 TIG WELDING GUIDE Tungsten Electrodes Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing TIG welding electrodes. The TIG process relies on tungsten’s hardness and high-temperature resistance to carry the welding current to the arc. Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal, 3,410 degrees Celsius.
- Page 22 TIG WELDING GUIDE Tungsten Preparation Always use wheels when grinding and cutting. While tungsten is a very hard material, the surface of a diamond wheel is DIAMOND harder, and this makes for smooth grinding. Grinding without diamond wheels, such as aluminium oxide wheels, can lead to jagged edges, imperfections, or poor surface finishes not visible to the eye that will contribute to weld inconsistency and weld defects.
- Page 23 TIG WELDING GUIDE Remote Amperage Controls - Installation and Operation Remote amperage controls allow for the welding current to adjusted remotely from the welding machine during weld- ing. Generally there several types of remote amperage control available; Hand amperage control located in the torch handle allowing the operator to adjust the welding current by rolling the potentiometer wheel to increase or decrease the amount of amperage desired.

GAS FLOW REGULATORS - SHEILDING GASES Gas Flow Regulators The job of the gas flow regulator is to reduce the bottle pressure gas down to a lower pressure and deliver it at a constant flow. This constant flow of gas is usually fed through the welding machine where it is controlled by a solenoid valve, operated when the torch trigger is pulled. -
