1-3 Output characteristics Fig. 1-3-1: Output characteristics 1-4 Duty cycle Duty cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that a machine can weld at rated load without overheating. If overheats, thermostat(s) will open, output stops. Wait for fifteen minutes for the machine to cool down. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before welding. Note! Exceeding duty cycle can damage the machine and greatly reduce its lifespan.
1-5 Applications The power source is suitable for mild steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, copper, silver and titanium welding, and is designed for the following recommended areas: Electric power, petrochemical construction Boiler and pressure vessel Shipyards Bicycle, fitness equipment, and stainless furniture manufacturing Nuclear power station 1-6 Warning label The warning label is affixed on the top of machine.
3-BEFORE COMMISSIONING Warning! Operating the equipment incorrectly can cause serious injury and damage. Do not use the functions described here until you have read and completely understood “safety rules”. 3-1 Utilization for intended purpose only The power source may only be used for SMAW ,TIG. Utilization for other purposes, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be "not in accordance with the intended purpose".
