9. MMA WELDING
To select this welding mode, use switch 10,
select MMA and press confirm.
Electric arc welding with a covered MMA
(Metal Manual Arc) electrode or SMAW
(Shielded Metal Arc Welding) is a manual
welding procedure that takes advantage of
the heat generated by the electric arc, which
strikes between a covered earthed electrode
and the workpiece. This procedure allows for
the creation of joints in any position, in the
workshop, outdoors, in confined areas or
places that are difficult to access.
With the K

is possible to weld any type of electrode and
diameter. The spark of the arc occurs by
placing the electrode close to the workpiece.
The correct connection of the electrode
clamp holder and the earth cable can be

This mode can be accessed using switch 10.
Selecting this option will take you to the
welding screen:
Switch 9 in fig. 1 adjusts the welding current
(very thick workpieces require a higher
current).

ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS:
Button 10 adjusts the welding settings on the
screen:
Arc Force: Used to set the increase in current
as a percentage of
the welding current, which the welder can
provide to keep the arc fully ignited.
Hot start: Used to set the current increase as
a percentage of the welding current, which the
welder can provide at the time the arc is struck.
Hot start span: Used to set the time during
which the hot start current is provided.
Remote ctrl: Allows the power supply
remote control to be switched ON or OFF.
Min current: Allows the user to set up the
minimum output current when the remote
control is on and is set to the minimum value.
