ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA/SMAW)
CONNECTION AND ADVICE
• Connect the cables, electrode holder and earth clamp to the connectors.
• Observe the welding polarities and intensities indicated on the electrode boxes.
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when the machine is not in use.
• The machine has 3 features exclusive to Inverters:
- The Hot Start creates an overcurrent at the beginning of the weld.
- The Arc Force creates an overcurrent which prevents the electrode from sticking to the weld pool.
- The Anti-Sticking makes it easier to unstick the electrode from the metal.
CHOICE OF COATED ELECTRODES
• Rutile electrode: very easy to use in all positions.
• Basic electrode: usable in all positions, it is suitable for structural work thanks to increased mechanical properties.
• Cellulosic electrode: very dynamic arc with a high melting rate and usable in all positions making it especially suitable for pipe work.

Description & advice
The electrode type determines specific parameters according to
the type of electrode used in order to optimize its weldability.
Anti-sticking is recommended to safely remove the electrode if it is
stuck to the metal (the power is automatically cut off).
