Welcome to a better way of welding! For your own and other people’s safety, please read the manual carefully before operating. And the user manual must always be available near the welding machine. Disclaimer and Warning Thank you for purchasing our products. The content mentioned in this article concerns your safety and legitimate rights and responsibilities.
1 Safety Guidelines and Precautions Security Definitions It indicates that ignoring safety warnings could result in a major accident, or even death or serious injury. It indicates that ignoring safety warnings could result in minor injuries or property damage. It indicates that ignoring safety warnings could result in equipment failure or damage.
Operational Safety Guidelines Electrical Shock Grounded all working materials. Never touch ‘live’ electrical parts. Always repair or replace worn or damaged parts. Wearing dry insulated boots, and dry leather gloves. Disconnect power source before performing any maintenance or service. ...

Noise produced during welding can easily cause hearing loss In order to avoid the harm of noise to you and others, please wear the prescribed protective equipment. Matters needing attention in hoisting The power source with strap or hand is prohibited from using strap or hand for lifting.
2 Overview Product Introduction This series of machines use inverter technology to convert the current of 50 / 60Hz frequency into stable welding output current, and use pulse width modulation (PWM) technology to obtain constant current characteristics and excellent welding process effect.
3 Installation Installation for MIG welding When using long cable, in order to reduce voltage drop, big section cable is suggested. If the cable is too long, it will affect the performance of arcing and other system function, it is suggested to use the recommend length. 1.

Installation for TIG welding 1. Plug the work return lead into positive output terminal, and tighten firmly. 2. Connect work return clamp to the work piece. 3. Connect gas regulator of the TIG torch to gas cylinder. 4. Connect the electric connector of the TIG torch to negative terminal of the front panel, and fasten it clockwise.
Installation for MMA welding There are two welding methods for MMA welding, please choose according to the actual needs. Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN): The positive output terminal is connected to the workpiece, and the negative output terminal is connected to the electrode holder. The DCEN is suitable for acid electrodes.
4 Operating Functions Control Panel and label The components are described in the following table. Icons Name Description In MMA mode, Long press (5s) to switch VRD function. In MIG/Flux/Spool gun mode, Long press (5s) to switch between 2T and 4T. Left Knob In MIG/Flux/Spool gun mode, short press to switch arc length and inductance.

5 Operation Operation Steps for MIG welding The operations of MIG welding are shown in the table below. Steps Description Turn on argon switch, and adjust gas pressure to rated value. 1 Set gas pressure Note: Skip this step when using gasless self shielded welding. 2 Starting up Turn on the power switch.
Operation Steps for MMA welding The operations of MMA welding are shown in the table below. Steps Description It is suggested to choose the diameter of electrode according to the 1 Select electrode thickness of the workpiece refer to the following table (Diameter of Electrode).
6 Environment and Problems Environment Note: The power source should not be used in rain or snow environment. The recommended external environment for welding is as follows: Please place the power source in a horizontal position. The inclination of the power source shall not exceed 10°.
Problems During Welding Fittings, welding materials, environment factor, supply powers maybe have something to do with welding. User must try to improve welding environment. Problems Solutions 1. Examine whether grounding wire clamp contacts with the work pieces well. Arc starting is difficult and easy to break.
7 Daily Maintenance and Checking Daily Maintenance In maintenance of the unit, take into consideration the rate of use and the environment it is used in. When the unit is used properly and serviced regularly you will avoid unnecessary disturbances in use and production. ...

8 Trouble Shooting IMPORTANT: Only authorised repair agents with valid certifications should carry out repairs and internal servicing. Fault symptom Remedy 1. Make sure the power cord is connected. 2. Check if electric wire net is in work. 3. Some of heat-variable resistors(four) of power panel is damaged, when it happen, general DC14V relay is open or connectors are poor contact.
