AC Frequency Only be available in AC welding mode. Increasing AC frequency will focus the shape of the arc, resulting in a tighter, more controlled arc causing increased penetration and less heated affected area for the same current setting. Slower frequency will result in a wider, softer arc shape.

4 Installation & Operation 4.1 Installation & Operation for MMA Electrode Welding 4.1.1 Set-Up Installation Two sockets are available on this welding machine, One Positive (+) and one Negative (-) polarity, to connect MMA/Electrode holder cable and earth clamp cable. Various electrodes require different polarity for optimum results and careful attention should be paid to the polarity, refer to the electrode manufacturers information for the correct polarity.
Page 20
4.1.2 MMA/Stick Electrode Welding One of the most common types of arc welding is manual metal arc welding (MMA) or stick welding. An electric current is used to strike an arc between the base material and a consumable electrode rod or ‘stick’. The electrode rod is made of a material that is compatible with the base material being welded and is covered with a flux that releases a gaseous vapor that serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.
Page 21
additional functions are provided mainly by the various coverings on the electrode. 4.1.3 MMA Welding Fundamentals Electrode Selection As a general rule, the selection of an electrode is straight forward, in that it is only a matter of selecting an electrode of similar composition to the parent metal. However, for some metals there is a choice of several electrodes, each of which has particular properties to suit specific classes of work.
Page 22
Arc Length To strike the arc, the electrode should be gently scraped on the work until the arc is established. There is a simple rule for the proper arc length; it should be the shortest arc that gives a good surface to the weld.

4.2 Installation & Operation for TIG Welding 4.2.1 Set-Up for TIG Welding (1) Insert the earth cable plug into the positive socket on the front of the machine and twist to lock in place. (2) Plug the welding torch into the negative socket on the front panel and twist to lock. (3) Connect the control cable of torch switch to 12-pin socket on the front of the machine.

4.2.2 DCTIG Welding The DC power source uses what is known as DC (direct current) in which the main electrical component, known as electrons, flow in only one direction from the negative terminal (-) to the positive terminal (+). In the DC electrical circuit there is an electrical principle at work which provides that, in a DC circuit, 70% of the energy (heat) is always on the positive side.

and contamination of the weld or electrode). When the machine detects that the tungsten has left the surface and a spark is present, it immediately (within microseconds) increases power, converting the spark to a full arc. It is a simple, safe lower cost alternative arc ignition process to HF (high frequency) and a superior arc start process to scratch start.
Page 26
TIG Welding with Filler Wire Technique It is necessary in many situations with TIG welding to add a filler wire into the weld pool to build up weld reinforcement and create a strong weld. Once the arc is started the torch tungsten is held in place until a weld pool is created, a circular movement of the tungsten will assist is creating a weld pool of the desired size.

increasing the flat to the maximum level that still allows arc start and eliminates arc wonder will improve the weld penetration and increase the electrode life. The included angle determines weld bead shape and size. Generally, as the included angle increases, penetration increases and bead width decreases.

4.3 Installation & Operation for MIG Welding 4.3.1 Set up installation for MIG Welding (1) Insert the earth cable plug into the Negative (-) socket and twist to tighten. (2) Plug the MIG welding gun into MIG torch euro-connector on the front panel and tighten locking nut securely.

(8) Feed wire over drive roller into outlet guide wire tube, push wire through approximately 150mm. (9) Close down the top roller bracket and clip the pressure arm into place with a medium amount of pressure applied. (10) Carefully open the valve of the gas cylinder, set the required gas flow rate.
Page 32
4.3.2 Wire Feed Roller Selection The importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. Simply put the smoother the wire feed then the better the weld. Feed rollers or drive rollers are used to feed the wire mechanically through the length of the welding gun cable.

positive feed of flux core wire without any deformation of the wire shape. 4.3.3 Wire Installation and Set-Up Guide Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire feed unit is critical to achieving an even and consistent wire feed.

(3) Fit the wire spool onto the spool holder (4) Snip the wire carefully, be sure to hold fitting the locating pin into the location hole the wire to prevent the spool uncoiling. on the spool. Replace the spool retaining Carefully feed the wire into the inlet guide nut tightly.

4.3.4 MIG Torch Liner Types and Information MIG Torch Liners The liner is both one of the simplest and most important components of a MIG gun. Its sole purpose is to guide the welding wire from the wire feeder, through the gun cable and up to the contact tip.
Page 36
Steel Liners Blue-0.6mm-0.8m Red - 0.9mm - 1.2mm Yellow - 1.6mm Green - 2.0mm - 2.4mm Teflon and Polyamide (PA) Liners Teflon liners are well suited for feeding soft wires with poor column strength like aluminum wires. The interiors of these liners are smooth and provide stable feeding, especially on small diameter welding wire Teflon can be good for higher heat applications that utilize water-cooled torches and brass neck liners.
