OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The flux-cored welding machine is designed to perform
welding work in both commercial and industrial
environments. It is a portable power tool, suitable for
operation through the electrical network or generator.
If a generator is used, this equipment must ensure an
adequate supply of voltage, frequency and power
according to the technical data of the power tool. It is
important to check these conditions, because many
generators produce peak voltages that can damage the
flux-cored welding machine.
Do not overload the power tool and use the appropriate
tools. The welding machine is electronically protected
against overloads; however, constant overloads cause
the overload relay to trip and shorten the service life of
the machine.
When the overload relay is triggered automatically, a
yellow LED lights up. With the overload relay activated,
welding cannot be performed.
It is forbidden to use the welding machine with a duty
cycle higher than the values shown in the technical data.
The duty cycle refers to the percentage of working time
(10min are considered as one complete cycle). For
example, if a welding machine is rated at a 60% duty
cycle, it means that the machine must weld 6 min and
cool down for 4 min.
If the power source voltage is lower than the technical
specifications, there may be an extremely low welding
current or unstable welding arc. If the voltage is higher
than the technical specifications, it may cause the
thermal overload relay to be triggered or the welding
machine to operate incorrectly.
When using the flux-cored welding machine you should
take into consideration some care and procedures of
use in order to avoid accidents and to ensure a long-
time service life and proper operation of the appliance:
▪ If welding in small areas, make sure that they are well
ventilated;
▪ Do not weld in areas that are being painted or
cleaned;
▪ When welding painted parts, use a protective
respiratory mask;
▪ Where it is necessary to protect the floor or the
surrounding area of the workplace, mark the area by
placing a safety fence;
30
▪ Avoid using the welding machine in places with high
dust concentration;
▪ Do not use the flux-cored welding machine when the
ambient temperature is above 40°C;
▪ Do not place freshly welded parts next to flammable
substances;
▪ Do not use the wire welding machine to cool or thaw
pipes or electrical cables;
Starting and stopping the appliance
1. Plug in the power cord;
2. Before switching on the welding machine, make sure
that the welding gun (2) or the wire is not in contact
with the welding table, work piece or other
conductive object to prevent accidental welding arc
when the appliance is switched on;
3. To switch on the flux-cored welding machine, set the
"ON/OFF" switch (6) to position (I);
4. To switch off the flux-cored welding machine, set the
"ON/OFF" switch to position (0);
Handling
1. Place the machine on a stable, horizontal and dry
surface. Make sure that the ventilation slots are not
blocked;
2. Attach the ground clamp (1) to the workpiece. Make
sure that the ground clamp is in contact with the
workpiece to be welded and located as close as
possible to the weld point;
3. Plug in the power cord and set the ON/OFF switch (6)
to position (I);
4. Once the wire comes out of the welding gun, cut it so
that it is only 10mm at the tip of the gun.
5. Wearing the personal protective equipment, touch
the nozzle of the gun to the welding point;
6. Position the welding gun so that it is perpendicular to
the metal with 15 to 20° slope;
7. Once you press the trigger and start the welding arc,
a welding bead is formed that will track the
movement of the gun.
Look at the size of the welding bead to know how
quickly you should move the gun. If you burn
through the material, you are either moving the gun
very slowly or need to adjust to a weaker power
(intensity). If you are not penetrating the metal, either
you are moving the gun too fast or you need to adjust
to a stronger power (intensity).
8. To stop welding release the gun trigger;
9. When you have finished welding, turn off the
appliance.
