INTRODUCTION
This device is a generator inverter current (DC) suitable to
the MMA welding. Thanks to the inverter technology which
allows achieving high performances while keeping small
size and weight, the welder is portable and easy to
handle. The device is suitable for welding with coated
electrodes rutile and can be connected to power
generators with power equal to or higher than that
reported in Table B-2.(for more details please refer to the
C PART manual included in the package).

INSTALLATION
The installation must be made by trained personnel in
compliance to the standard IEC 60974-9 and the current
and local legislation. To lift the machine it must be used
the handle positioned on top of the product with the
machine in OFF position. The input voltage must match
the voltage indicated on the technical plate located on the
product.
Use the machine on electric system having supply features
and power protection (fuse and / or differential switch)
that are compatible with the current required for its use. For
more details see the information on the plate placed on the
machine.
HOW USE IT
Warning: Use all precautions required in the safety
general manual before operating the welder, reading
carefully the risks linked to the welding process.
ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA)
•
Connect the plugs of the earth clamp and the
electrode holder to the connectors of the machine (Fig
B-1, C and D) rotating the attack in order to ensure a
good grip. Choose the polarity Fig.B-2 (1. forward or 2.
reverse) depending on the coating of the electrodes (for
more information see the information on the electrodes
packaging).
•
Connect the earth clamp to the work piece to be
ANOMALIES
The device is not delivering current
and the yellow indicator LED of
thermal protection lights up.
The device is on but it is not
delivering current.
Your unit does not weld correctly.
Instable arc
The electrode melts
welded trying to establish a good point of contact between
the metal and the clamp, as close as possible to the area
to be welded, insert the electrode into the electrode
holder.
•
welding machine by pressing the switch (Fig B-1, E) to
the ON position. For welding machines without a plug
(115/230V models), connect a normalised plug (2P + T) -
having sufficient capacity- to the power cable and prepare a
mains outlet fitted with fuses or an automatic circuit-breaker;
the special earth terminal should be connected to the earth
conductor (yellow-green) of the power supply line.

THERMAL PROTECTION
If the machine is used for hard work cycle, the thermal
protection device will protect the machine from over
heating. The yellow LED ON indicates that the thermal
protection is on. It is possible to start welding again once
the LED is off. (Fig. B-1, B)
MAINTENANCE
The all maintenance services must be done from qualified
personnel in compliance to the norm (IEC 60974-4).
