2.2 Arc Welding Hazards Welding can be dangerous to you and other persons in the work area. Read and understand this instruction manual before using your AWT welding machine. Injury or death can occur if safe welding practices are not followed.The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual to call attention to and identify possible hazards.

Fumes And Gases Can Be Hazardous Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-sup- plied respirator.

Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects which are not known. which are not known. FLYING METAL or DIRT can injure eyes. Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool, they can throw off slag.
3.PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 3.1 Features MCU digital control achieves intelligent synergy. Latest IGBT Inverter Technology. LED display screen for easy operation. High output no-load voltage, available for cellulose electrode. Smart cooling fan, excellent heat dissipation. Compact and portable with light weight. Easy arc starting, less spatter, stable current and good shaping.
The rated Duty cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. The AWT MMA-155 has a duty cycle of 60% at 140 Amps for 220 Volts. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10 Minutes.

1.Ensure that the power switch is “OFF". 2) A primary power supply cable is available for this welding machine. Connect the primary power supply cable to the corresponding voltage class based on rated input power of the welder. Incor- rect connections should be avoided. 3) The primary cable should be tightly connected to the corresponding power binding post or socket to avoid oxidization.

Connect the power supply cable to the rated input power. 3) The primary cable should be tightly connected to the correct socket to avoid oxidization. 4) Check whether the voltage value varies in acceptable range with a multi-meter.
5.2 Operation MMA/Stick Welding Connect the Electrode lead to the (+) output terminal on the front of the machine. Connect the work clamp lead to the (-) output terminal on the front of the machine. Press “choose” button on MMA/ MMA VRD Adjust the welding current Take up the electrode holder, install the electrode-point the electrode into the joint to be welded, scratch the work piece to start the arc.
6.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.
