Frequently Asked Questions - 20074 GUDE

How to start welding with the Güde 20074 machine?
Make sure the device is plugged into a 230 V outlet. Select the appropriate current according to the electrode diameter. Place the electrode in the electrode holder, bring it close to the workpiece, and tilt it slightly to strike the arc.
What type of electrode to use for the Güde 20074?
Use coated electrodes of basic or rutile type, with a diameter between 1.6 and 4.0 mm. Adjust the current according to the diameter (e.g., 40-50 A for 2.0 mm, 100-130 A for 3.2 mm).
What to do if the arc is unstable or the electrode sticks?
The device is equipped with Anti-stick and Arc Force functions. If the arc is unstable, check the current setting and the quality of the ground connection. Also clean the workpiece.
How to interpret the thermal protection light?
A red thermal protection light comes on when the internal temperature is too high. The device shuts down automatically. Allow it to cool for about 15 minutes before resuming welding.
Can I use the Güde 20074 for TIG welding?
Yes, the machine can work in TIG mode if you use a suitable TIG torch and an inert gas cylinder (argon). The welding current is adjustable from 20 to 160 A.
What is the power consumption of the machine?
The power consumption is approximately 3.2 kVA. Plug the device into a 230 V outlet protected by a circuit breaker of at least 16 A.
How to clean and maintain the welding machine?
Unplug the device before any cleaning. Use a brush or vacuum cleaner to remove dust from the ventilation grilles. Clean the electrode holder and ground clamp with a dry cloth.
What accessories are supplied with the machine?
Generally, the machine is supplied with an electrode holder, a ground clamp, a wire brush, and a power cable. The TIG torch is sold separately.
How to adjust the welding current?
Turn the adjustment knob located on the front of the machine. The current is displayed on the digital screen (if present) or on a graduated scale. Adapt the current to the thickness of the workpiece and the electrode diameter.
Where to find the complete user manual?
The user manual and instructions for the Güde 20074 are available for free in PDF format on the website notice-facile.com or via the QR code on the packaging.

Do not use this product in any other way as stated for normal use. Not observing general regulations in force and instructions from this manual does not make the manufacturer liable for damages.

Safety instructions

WARNING! Electric shock! There is a risk of an injury caused by electric shock!

Operation is only allowed with a safety switch against stray current (RCD max. stray current of 30mA).

IP21 protection degree of the welder. The welder must not be exposed to rain and moisture when being operated or stored.

Check the voltage. Technical data given on the type label must correspond with electric network voltage.

Insert the plug of the electrical cable in a socket of suitable shape, voltage and frequency complying with current regulations.

Use extension cables with a maximum length of 5 meters and with a cable cross-section of not less than 1.5 mm ^2 . Use of extension cables of different length and cross-section and also of adapters and multiple sockets should be avoided.

Check the cable and/or socket for damages before the appliance putting into operation.

Defective cable or plug may cause electric shock.

Do not pull the service cable to pull the plug out of socket.

Do not expose yourself or other persons without protection to electric arc or hot metal. Spraying welding pearls may cause burns.

A suitable welding shield, protective clothes and protective gloves to be worn at all times.

Long-term inhalation of welding gases may be harmful to your health.

Work with an exhaust system or in well ventilated spaces. Avoid direct inhalation of gases.

Contact with the hose bundle nozzle and the material being processed may cause burns. Special welding gloves to be worn at all times.

Let the hose bundle nozzle and the material being processed cool down after being operated.

Long-term working with the appliance may damage hearing. Hearing protection to be used at all times.

Welder may only be used on a flat surface and with a properly secured gas bottle.

Make sure the welding smoke is exhausted or the place of welding ventilated well.

Hot slag and sparks may cause fire or explosion. Never use the appliance in a flammable environment.

Wood, sawdust, "varnishes", petrol, kerosine, natural gas, acetylene, propane and similar flammable materials must be removed from the place of work and the surrounding area or protected against sparks flying away.

To extinguish fire, a suitable fire extinguisher must be made ready nearby.

No welding or cutting on closed vessels and pipes.

No welding or cutting on vessels and pipes if they are open, containing materials able to explode due to heat or moisture or able to cause other dangerous reactions.

Never use the welder to defrost frozen pipes.

The gas bottle must necessarily be secured against falling. The welder must never be lifted together with the gas bottle. Special regulations apply to the transport of gas bottles.

Handling of gas bottles.

Make sure the gas bottles are used and stored in rooms with sufficient air inlet and outlet.

A leaking gas bottle may reduce the share of oxygen in the inhaled air and therefore represent a risk of suffocation.

Before use, make sure the gas bottle contains gas designed for the work being done.

Gas bottles must always be safely fixed in a vertical position on a wall support or on a specially manufactured gas bottle cart.

The bottle with shielding gas and the fixed adjustment gas current equipment must not be moved. The gas bottle valve must be closed during transport.

Close the gas bottle valve after use.
