Design and function Transport and installation Design and function Transport and installation WARNING Risk of accident due to improper transport of machines that must not be lifted! Do not lift or suspend the machine! The machine can drop and cause injuries! The handles, straps or brackets are suitable for transport by hand only! •...
Design and function Transport and installation 5.1.3 Ambient conditions The machine must not be operated in the open air and must only be set up and operated on a suitable, stable and level base! • The operator must ensure that the ground is non-slip and level, and provide sufficient lighting for the place of work.
Design and function Transport and installation 5.1.5 Notes on the installation of welding current leads • Incorrectly installed welding current leads can cause faults in the arc (flickering). • Lay the workpiece lead and hose package of power sources without HF igniter (MIG/MAG) for as long and as close as possible in parallel.
Design and function Transport and installation 5.1.6 Stray welding currents WARNING Risk of injury due to stray welding currents! Stray welding currents can destroy protective earth conductors, damage machines and electronic devices and cause overheating of components, leading to fire. •...

Design and function MMA welding 5.2.2 Welding task selection Figure 5-8 5.2.2.1 Arcforce (welding characteristics) During the welding process, arcforce prevents the electrode sticking in the weld pool with increases in current. This makes it easier to weld large-drop melting electrode types at low current strengths with a short arc in particular.
Design and function MMA welding 5.2.3 Hotstart The f unction hot start ensures a secure igniting of the arc and a sufficient heating to the still cold parent metal at the beginning of the welding process. The ignition takes place here with increased current (hot start current) over a certain time (hot start time).
