SAFETY §1 SAFETY §1.1 Signal Explanation The above signals mean warning! Notice! Running parts and getting an electric shock or thermal parts will take damage for your body or others. The corresponding notices are as follows. It is quite a safe operation after taking several necessary protection measures. §1.2 Arc Welding Damage The following signals and word explanations are to some damages for your body or others happening on the welding operation.

SAFETY insulate hands. In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”. Always be sure the work cable makes a good electrical connection with the metal being welded The connection should be as close as possible to the area being welded. Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition.

SAFETY ARC RAYS CAN BURN. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding. Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
SAFETY inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been “cleaned”. Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may explode. Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff less trousers, high shoes and a cap over your hair.

SAFETY EMF is still ongoing. Before any conclusion, we should minimize exposure to EMF as few as possible. In order to minimize EMF, we should use the following procedures: Route the electrode and work cables together – Secure them with tape when possible. All cables should be put away and far from the operator.
This operation manual is suitable for the models of §2.1 Brief Introduction SKYARC ULTRA 3140 | ULTRA POWER | welders are general MMA arc welder which adopts the latest pulse width modulation (PWM) technology and the insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module.
PWM——Pulse-Width Modulation; IGBT——Insulation Gate Bipolar Transistor; TIG——Tungsten Inert Gas welding. §2.2 Working Principle The working principle of SKYARC ULTRA 3140 | ULTRA POWER |welder is shown as the following figure. Single phase work frequency (50/60 Hz) AC is rectified into 208V 4 60V±10%...

Choose “ON”, power through; Choose “OFF”, power cut off. §4.2 Welding current adjustment SKYARC ULTRA 3140 welder has the function of welding current pre-setting. Before welding, adjusting welding current, the welding current display will show the ampere. It is convenient to set parameters and adjust accurately.
OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS §4.3.2 Manipulation of electrode In MMA welding, there are three motions to being matched in the end of electrode: the electrode moving to the electrode molten pool along axes; the electrode weld swing right and left; the electrode moving workpiece along welding way.
OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS Factor/K ~ ~ ~ Notice: the above parameters originate from《Welding Dictionary》P66~P67, Volume 1 of Edition 2. Electrode should be drying according to user manual before using. For reducing the hydrogen of the molten pool and welding seam, and avoiding the blowhole and cold crack.
OPERATION CONTROL AND CONNECTORS drying Strictly to dry the electrode according to Under current or over speed in the welding manual The arc is too long or lean burning, the Correctly to choose parameters and to operate molten pool protection is not good Using the short arc operation Over current, the coating of electrode falls Welding operation in the field should have...
