Operation

Once the machine is turned--on, it is not powered instantly. Approximately 2 seconds
after switching the machine on by means of the mains switch 1, the green lamp 2
indicates that machine is ready.
The machine has protection against the welding start during power on. If the torch
pushbutton is pressed while the machine is being turned--on, the operation is
disabled, until the torch button is released. The orange lamp 3 also indicates this
state.
The main knob 6 is scaled in millimeters. The numbers point out the recommended
thickness of the mild steel workpiece to be welded with 0,8 mm wire. This knob
simultaneously adjusts both the wire feed speed and the average output voltage.
The knob 7 sets the arc length correction or, in other words, voltage correction.
In certain conditions (another wire diameter, different positions and different shielding
gases), the relation between the output voltage and the wire feed speed may need
adjustment. The knob 7 provides the possibility to change this relation.
The return cable must be reliably connected to the workpiece or to the welding table.
The wire spool section must be closed prior to the welding.
Machine is instantly switched off by means of the mains switch 1.
