BE SURE THAT ALL INSTALLATION, OPERATION, MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR PROCEDURES ARE PERFORMED ONLY BY QUALIFIED INDIVIDUALS.

warningFOR ENGINE POWERED EQUIPMENT.

    1. Turn the engine off before troubleshooting and maintenance work unless the maintenance work requires it to be running.
    2. Operate engines in open, well ventilated areas or vent the engine exhaust fumes outdoors.
    3. Do not add the fuel near an open flame welding arc or when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting. Do not spill fuel when filling tank.
    4. Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from Vbelts, gears, fans and all other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
    5. In some cases it may be necessary to remove safety guards to perform required maintenance. Remove guards only when necessary and replace them when the maintenance requiring their removal is complete. Always use the greatest care when working near moving parts.
    6. Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
      If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated.
    7. To prevent accidentally starting gasoline engines while turning the engine or welding generator during maintenance work, disconnect the spark plug wires, distributor cap or magneto wire as appropriate.
    8. To avoid scalding, do not remove the radiator pressure cap when the engine is hot.

shock hazardELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC FIELDS MAY BE DANGEROUS

    1. Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and Magnetic Fields (EMF). Welding current creates EMF fields around welding cables and welding machines
    2. EMF fields may interfere with some pacemakers, and welders having a pacemaker should consult their physician before welding.
    3. Exposure to EMF fields in welding may have other health effects which are now not known.
    4. All welders should use the following procedures in order to minimize exposure to EMF fields from the welding circuit:
      1. Route the electrode and work cables together - Secure them with tape when possible.
      2. Never coil the electrode lead around your body.
      3. Do not place your body between the electrode and workcables. If the electrode cable is on your right side, the work cable should also be on your right side.
      4. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
      5. Do not work next to welding power source.

shock hazardELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.

    1. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically "hot" when the welder is on. Do not touch these "hot" parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
    2. Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and ground.
      In addition to the normal safety precautions, if welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions (in damp locations or while wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting, kneeling or lying, if there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the workpiece or ground) use the following equipment:
      • Semiautomatic DC Constant Voltage (Wire) Welder.
      • DC Manual (Stick) Welder.
      • AC Welder with Reduced Voltage Control.
    3. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically "hot".
    4. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded.
    5. Ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground.
    6. Maintain the electrode stinger, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.
    7. Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
    8. Never simultaneously touch electrically "hot" parts of electrode stingers connected to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders.
    9. When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get a shock.
    10. Also see Items 6.c. and 8.

warningARC RAYS CAN BURN.

    1. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Welding shield and filter lens should conform to ANSI Z87. I standards.
    2. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
    3. Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, nonflammable screening and/or warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or metal.

warningFUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS.

    1. Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding hardfacing (see instructions on container or SDS) or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation unless exposure assessments indicate otherwise. In confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may also be required. Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel.
    2. The operation of welding fume control equipment is affected by various factors including proper use and positioning of the equipment, maintenance of the equipment and the specific welding procedure and application involved. Worker exposure level should be checked upon installation and periodically thereafter to be certain it is within applicable OSHA PEL and ACGIH TLV limits.
    3. Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
    4. Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
    5. Read and understand the manufacturer's instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be used, including the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and follow your employer's safety practices. SDS forms are available from your welding distributor or from the manufacturer.
    6. Also see item 1.b.

warningWELDING AND CUTTING SPARKS CAN CAUSE FIRE OR EXPLOSION.

    1. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas. Avoid welding near hydraulic lines. Have a fire extinguisher readily available.
    2. Where compressed gases are to be used at the job site, special precautions should be used to prevent hazardous situations. Refer to "Safety in Welding and Cutting" (ANSI Standard Z49.1) and the operating information for the equipment being used.
    3. When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
    4. Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been "cleaned". For information, purchase "Recommended Safe Practices for the Preparation for Welding and Cutting of Containers and Piping That Have Held Hazardous Substances", AWS F4.1 from the American Welding Society (see address above).
    5. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode.
    6. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
    7. Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the welding area increase the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
    8. Also see item 1.c.
    9. Read and follow NFPA 51B "Standard for Fire Prevention During Welding, Cutting and Other Hot Work", available from NFPA, 1 Batterymarch Park, PO box 9101, Quincy, MA 022690-9101.
    10. Do not use a welding power source for pipe thawing.

warningCYLINDER MAY EXPLODE IF DAMAGED.

    1. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.
    2. Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage or fixed support.
    3. Cylinders should be located:
      • Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.
      • A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.
    4. Never allow the electrode, electrode stinger or any other electrically "hot" parts to touch a cylinder.
    5. Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the cylinder valve.
    6. Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.
    7. Read and follow the instructions on compressed gas cylinders, associated equipment, and CGA publication P-l, "Precautions for Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Cylinders," available from the Compressed Gas Association, 14501 George Carter Way Chantilly, VA 20151.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
This welder has been engineered to need minimal service providing that a few very simple steps are taken to properly maintain it

  1. Replace INPUT POWER CABLE, ground cable, work clamp, or gun assembly when damaged or worn
  2. Avoid directing grinding particles towards the welder. These conductive particles can build up inside the machine and cause severe damage
  3. warningPeriodically clean dust, dirt, grease, etc. from your welder. Every six months or as necessary, remove the side panels from the welder and use compressed air to blow out any dust and dirt that may have accumulated inside the welder.
  4. Check all cables periodically. They must be in good condition and not cracked

    ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Be aware that the ON/OFF SWITCH, when OFF, does not remove power from all internal circuitry in the welder. To reduce the risk of electric shock, always unplug the welder from its AC power source and wait several minutes for electrical energy to discharge before removing side panels.

TROUBLESHOOTING


The following operation requires sufficient professional knowledge on electric aspect and comprehensive safety knowledge. Operators should be holders of valid qualification certificates which can prove their skills and knowledge. Make sure the input cable of the machine is disconnected from the electricity utility before uncovering the welding machine.

COMMON MALFUNCTION ANALYSIS AND SOLUTION

Malfunction Phenomena Causes and Solutions
Turn on the machine, the fan doesn't work, and no welding output
  1. Check if the power switch is closed
  2. No input power
Turn on the machine, the fan works, but the output current is unstable and can't be controlled by potentiometer when welding
  1. The current potentiometer fails. Replace it.
  2. Check if any loose contact exists inside the machine If any, reconnect
Turn on the machine, the fan works, but no welding output
  1. Check if any loose contact exists inside the machine.
  2. Open circuit or loose contact occurs at the joint of output terminal.
  3. The overheating LED illuminates.
    1. The machine is under overheating protection status. It can recover automatically after the welding machine is cooled
    2. Check if the thermal switch is OK Replace it if damaged
    3. Check if the thermal switch is loosely connected, and reconnect it if necessary

The electrode holder becomes very hot

The rated current of the electrode holder is smaller than its actual working current Replace it with a bigger rated current

Excessive spatter in STICK welding

The Output polarity connection is incorrect. Exchange the polarity

This product is being improved unceasingly, so differences may appear in parts except for functions and operation.

TIG WELDING ISSUES

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE COURSE of ACTION

Poor starting

Poor work clamp connection Check and secure work connection.
Start current is too low Increase Start current

Black area along weld bead

Oily or organic contamination on work Clean work piece
Tungsten electrode may be contaminated Grind to clean electrode
Leaks in gas line or torch connection. Check connection
Gas tank is near empty Replace the gas tank.

Unstable Arc

Contaminated base metal. Remove materials like paint, grease, Oil, and dirt, including mill scale from base metal
Tungsten is contaminated Remove 3/8" - 1/2" of contaminated tungsten and re-grind the tungsten
Arc length too long Lower the torch so the arc length (tungsten to work distance) is approximately 1 to 1.5 times the diameter of the tungsten being used

Arc wanders

Tungsten incorrect or in poor condition Check that correct type of tungsten is being used Remove tungsten 3/4" from the weld end and re-sharpen the tungsten
Insufficient gas shielding Check and set the gas flow between 20-30cfh flow rate.
Contaminated gas or leaks in gas line, torch, or connections Check gas line & connections
Poorly prepared tungsten Recommend tungsten grind angles range from 15 to 60 de grees based on the type of metal, joint design and penetration you desire. Standard is 30 degrees
Contaminated base metal. Remove contaminating materials like paint, grease, Oil, and dirt, including mill scale from base metal.
Contaminated/lncorrect filler Check the filler wire and remove all grease, Oil, or moisture from filler metal.

HF TIG doesn't initiate an arc

No gas, incorrect gas flow Check the gas is connected and cylinder valve open, check hoses, gas valve and torch are not restricted Set the gas flow between 20-30 cfh flow rate.
Poor work clamp connection Check & secure work clamp
Contaninated Tungsten Grind to clean Tungsten
Loose connection Check all connectors and tighten
Earth clamp not connected to work Connect the work clamp directly to the work piece wherever possible

Tungsten burning away quickly

Incorrect Gas/lnadequate gas flow Check the gas cylinder contains pure Argon gas and is connected and the torch gas valve is open. Set the gas flow between 20-30cfh flow rate
Back cap not fitted correctly Make sure the torch back cap is fitted so that the O-ring is inside the torch body.
Incorrect tungsten being used Check and change the tungsten type if necessary

Contaminated tungsten

Touching tungsten into the weld pool. Keep tungsten from contacting weld puddle. Raise the torch so that the tungsten is off of the work piece 1/8-1/4.
Touching the filler wire to the tungsten Keep the filler wire from touching the tungsten during welding, feed the filler wire into the leading edge of the weld pool in front of the tungsten
Tungsten melting into the weld pool. Check that correct type of tungsten is being used Too much current for the tungsten size so reduce the amps or change to a larger tungsten

STICK WELDING ISSUES

PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE COURSE of ACTION

Poor starting

Poor work clamp connection Check and secure work connection

Stick electrode "blasts Off" when arc is struck

Current may be set too high for electrode size Adjust current.

Electrode "stick" in weld puddle

Current may be set too low for electrode Size. Adjust current.
Porosity - small cav ities or holes result ing from gas pockets in weld metal Arc length too long Reduce arc length
Damp electrode Use dry electrode
Workpiece dirty Remove all grease, Oil, moisture, rust, paint, coatings, slag, and dirt from work surface before welding
Excessive Spatter - scattering of molten metal particles that cool to solid form near weld bead. Amperage too high for electrode Decrease amperage or select larger electrode.
Arc length too long or voltage too high. Reduce arc length or voltage.
Incomplete Fusion failure of weld metal to fuse completely with base metal or a preceeding weld bead. Insufficient heat input. Increase amperage. Select larger electrode and increase amperage
Improper welding technique Place stringer bead in proper location at joint during welding
Ensure you are maintaining the proper electrode angles throughout the entire weld
Momentarily hold arc on groove side walls when using weaving technique
Keep arc on leading edge of weld puddle
Workpiece dirty Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, coatings, slag, and dirt from work surface before welding
Lack of Penetration shallow fusion between weld metal and base metal Improper joint preparation Material too thick. Joint preparation and design must provide access to bottom of groove
Improper weld technique. Keep arc on leading edge of weld puddle
Insufficient heat input. Increase amperage/ Select larger electrode and increase amperage
Burn Through weld metal melting completely through base metal resulting in holes where no metal remains.
Excessive heat input
Reduce travel speed
Select lower amperage. Use smaller electrode.
Increase or maintain steady travel speed
