Important!
In order to avoid destruction
of plugs and cables, good
electric contact is required when
connecting earth cables and
welding hoses to the machine.
Connection of shielding gas
Connect the gas hose, which branches off from the
back panel of the welding machine (2), to a gas supply
with pressure regulator (2-6 bar). (Note: Some types
of pressure regulators require an output pressure of
more than 2 bar to function optimally).
Press the torch gas hose into the gas connecting
branch (6) at the front of the machine.
Gas consumption
Depending on the welding task, gas type and seam
design, the gas consumption will vary in ranges from
6-7 l/min at low amperages (<25A) and up to 27 l/min
at max. amperage.
Connection of electrode holder for MMA
Connect electrode holder and earth cable to plus
connection (4) and minus connection (5). Choose
polarity according to electrode supplier's directions.
