  • Page 2: Dear Customer

    Dear Customer Thank you for choosing our product! This instruction manual will help you get to know your new machine. Read the manual carefully and you will soon be familiar with all the many great features of your new product. Please also take special note of the safety rules in the manual and follow exactly the instructions.

  • Page 3: Safety Rules

    Safety Rules “Danger” indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury. “Warning!” indicates a possible hazardous situation which, if not voided, could result in death or serious injury. The possible hazards are explained in the text.

Disconnect input power or stop machine before installing or maintenance. • If welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions as follow: in damp locations or wearing wet clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds;...
  • Page 5 the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or material. Fumes and gases can be dangerous • Welding may produce fumes and gases, breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. • When welding, keep your head out of the fume. If inside, ventilate the area at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.
  • Page 6 contact tip when not in use. Apply correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or bypass them. Cylinder can explode if damaged. • Pressure gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully.
  • Page 7 Moving parts can injure • Stay away from moving parts such as fans. • Stay away from pinch points such as drive rolls. • Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in place. • Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels, covers, or guards for servicing and maintenance.

    1-GENERAL REMARKS 1-1 Power source features This series welding machine include 400A., which are novelty high-efficient and energy- saving DC Arc welding machines, suitable for mild steel, alloy steel welding with perfect welding performance. Features and benefits: -MCU controlled technology -Adjustable arc force and knee point voltage to make sure that arc does not broken and stick when on long cable welding.

  • Page 10: Output Characteristics

    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.
