Gas connection
Connect the gas hose, which branches off from the back panel of
the welding machine (6), to a gas supply with pressure regulator (0-
8 bar). (Note: Some types of pressure regulators require an output
pressure of more than 2 bar to function optimally). Fit and secure
the gas hose to the gas connection (7) on the front of the machine.
Usage of the machine
When welding, a heating of various components of the machine
takes place and during breaks these components will cool down
again. It must be ensured that the flow is not reduced or stopped.
When the machine is set for higher welding currents, there will be a
need for periods during which the machine can cool down.
The length of these periods depends on the current setting, and the
machine should not be switched off in the meantime.
If the periods for cooling down during use of the machine are not
sufficiently long, the overheating protection will automatically stop
the welding process and the yellow LED in the front panel will come
on. The yellow LED switches off when the machine has cooled
down sufficiently and is ready for welding.
Connection of electrode holder for MMA
The electrode holder and return current cable are connected to plus
tap (4) and minus tap (3). Observe the instructions from the
electrode supplier when selecting polarity.
