OPERATION

4.02 Setup for Welding

Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source, i.e. connect work lead
directly to work piece and electrode holder and lead is connected to the electrode. Wide safety margins
provided by the design ensure that the Welding Power Source will withstand short-term overload without
adverse effects. The welding current range values should be used as a guide only. Current delivered to the
arc is dependent on the welding arc voltage, and as welding arc voltage varies between different classes
of electrodes, welding current at any one setting would vary according to the type of electrode in use. The
operator should use the welding current range values as a guide then fine tune the welding current to suit
the application.
Before connecting the work clamp to the work and inserting the electrode in the electrode holder make
sure the Primary power supply is switched off.
Remove any packaging material prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front or rear of the Welding
Power Source.
