3. DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS

3.1 CONTROLS ON THE FRONT OF THE MACHINE
(SEE PICT. 1)
A - LED
It signals that the display H shows the current or voltage
value measured during welding. To display one of the two
values, simply press one of the two selection keys N or O.
C - 4-stage MIG welding LED
It signals that the welding machine is in 4-stage automatic
mode.
When the LED is off the welding machine is in 2-stage
manual mode.
Use the selection keys N and O to select manual or
automatic mode. The display H will show the message 2t
when the machine is in 2-stage manual mode, or 4t when
it is in 4-stage automatic mode.
If the welding machine is set to 2-stage manual mode,
welding begins when the button is pressed, and stops
when it is released.
If the welding machine is set to 4-stage automatic mode,
press the torch trigger to begin welding; you may release
the trigger once the procedure has begun.
Press and release the trigger again to stop welding.
This setting is suitable for long-term welding, where the
welder may tire of holding down the torch trigger.
In 4-stage mode, the LED lights steadily, in 2-stage mode
the LED is off.
D - wire feed test LED.
It signals that the wire feed function is active. To feed wire
simply press the torch trigger and adjust the output speed
using the potentiometer P. When the LED is lit display H
shows the speed in meters per minute. While wire is
feeding, no gas is output and the power is shut off.
Three seconds after the operator releases the button, the
function is automatically deactivated and the LED shuts
off.
E - Selection key.
The pressing of this key causes the LEDs C, D to light in
sequence.
In the submenu activated by the keys N and O, select the
functions: spot-welding (E), jog (F), burn-back, soft start
speed, post gas and soft start time.
G - Central adapter.
This is where the welding torch is to be connected.
H - Display.
Before welding the display shows the wire speed
expressed in meters per minute; during welding it shows
the current or voltage.
When the LED C is selected, it displays the manual (2T) or
automatic (4T) mode. When the LED D is selected, it
displays the meters per minute.
Before welding, within the submenu the machine displays:
the spot welding time, pause time, burn-back time, soft
start speed, post gas time, soft start time, manual (2T) or
automatic (4T) welding mode, and the meters per minute
of the wire feed function.
I - LED.
It indicates that the value shown on the display is a
voltage.
