4.1 General Operation
Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source,
i.e. connect work lead directly to work piece and electrode lead is used to hold
the electrode. 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 electrode, 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 specific application. Refer to the electrode
manufacture's literature for further information.
4.2 Front Panel/Controls
Familiarize yourself with the location and purpose of the controls on this unit
before attempting to operate.
A) Welding Current Control
A) Welding Current Control
The welding current is increased by turning the Weld Current control
knob clockwise or decreased by turning the Weld Current control knob
counterclockwise. The welding current should be set according to the
specific application. Refer to the electrode manufacture's literature for
further information.
B) Power On Indicator
The Power ON Indicator illuminates when the ON/OFF switch is in the
ON position and the nominal mains voltage is preset
