Switch the Inverter on.
All Leds on the front panel will glow, after two seconds some of them will turn
off if the system doesn't find any anomalies. The green led (1) and the red led (5)
will still glow to indicate respectively that unit is correctly powered and that it is set
for stick welding.
-
Protecting your face with a mask or a helmet, touch, with the electrode fastened,
in the electrode holder, the work piece until the arc will be struck. (the inverter is
featuring "hot start" to improve the stricking).
Avoid hammering the work piece with the electrode since it may loose the
coating and increase the arc stricking difficulties.
-
After stricking the arc keep feeding the electrode into the weld pool with an angle
of about 60° and moving left to right so that you may control visually the welding.
The length of the arc can also be controlled by lifting or lowering slightly the electrode.
Also a variation of the welding angle may increase the size of the weld pool improving
the capacity of surfacing of the slag.
-
At the end of the weld let the slag cool off before removing it, using the brush-
hammer.
Protect your eyes when hitting the slag with the chip hammer to avoid
A bad start can be due to the dirty workpiece, a bad connection
between earth cable and work piece, or the bad fastening of the
8.0 QUALITY OF THE WELD
The quality of the weld will depend mainly on the ability of the welder, on the type of
weld and on the quality of the electrode. Choose the proper electrode before attempting
