Frequently Asked Questions - 51095 Fixpoint

Which welding processes does the Fixpoint 51095 support?

The device is designed for manual metal arc (MMA) welding. It can work with stick electrodes from 1.6 to 4.0 mm.

What mains voltage is required?

The welding machine requires 230 V AC at 50 Hz. Connection is via a standard Schuko socket.

What is the welding current range?

The welding current can be infinitely adjusted from 20 to 200 Amperes, depending on electrode size and material thickness.

What does the duty cycle of 60% at 200 A mean?

The duty cycle indicates how long the device can operate at full welding current. At 200 A, it is 60% based on a 10-minute cycle, i.e., 6 minutes of welding and 4 minutes of cooling pause.

What safety equipment is recommended?

Mandatory are a welding shield with appropriate protective glass, welding gloves and flame-resistant clothing. Work in well-ventilated areas.

How do I care for and clean the welding machine?

Clean the housing with a dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents. Regularly check connections and cables for damage.

What electrode sizes can be used?

The Fixpoint 51095 processes stick electrodes with diameters from 1.6 mm to 4.0 mm. Suitable electrodes for mild steel, stainless steel and cast iron.

What to do in case of overheating?

The device has an overheating protection. It switches off automatically if the temperature gets too high. Let it cool down before continuing. If necessary, reduce the duty cycle.

Can I operate the device on a generator?

Yes, as long as the generator supplies a stable 230 V AC with sufficient power (at least 5 kVA). Ensure a clean sine wave.

Where can I find spare parts?

Spare parts such as welding cables, electrode holder, ground clamp or contacts are available from specialist dealers or online. Only use original Fixpoint parts.

5 Notes on Safety:

ATTENTION! Demounting of the housing is only permitted to skilled electricians! Do not carry in air planes when filled with gas!

ATTENTION! Risk of injury by burning!

Never touch heated parts!

Let the product cool down completely after working!

ATTENTION! Risk of fire by short-circuit and overheating!

Mind adequate ventilation and use fire-resistant and solid surfaces!

Keep away from fire sources!

• Your product is no toy and children must not use it anyway, because it contains fragile, small and swallowable parts, which can injure people with incorrect use!
• Remove and dispose packaging materials, because playing children could cut on it. Furthermore there is a danger of swallowing and inhaling of incidentals and insulating of materials.
• Do not interrupt the product to extreme heat, coldness or direct sun insulation. Mind warmed up parts of the device during operating!
• Only place the product on fire resistant, not heat conducting and solid surfaces.
• Switch off the product, when not in use.
• Do not modify or alter the device or its accessories! Therefor mind chapter “warranty and liability”.
  • Furthermore avoid vibrations, mechanical, magnetic and electro-magnetic influences,

as well as liquid or dust effects.

• If defects, mechanical damages, disturbances or other problems occur, which are not solvable with this manual, take the device out of work immediately and consult your dealer for questions, repairing or change.
• Mind the specifications for transporting and use applicable methods for it, e.g. by transporting in the original packaging.
• Do not use any damaged parts.
• Never open the housing because the device contains easily flameable gas after charging!
• Do not touch heated parts. There is a risk of burning!
• In case of burning, cool down the injured skin by flowing and cool water. Immediately call a doctor for emergencies.
• Mind the heating-up time and only use original Fixpoint accessories for efficient operating.
• Let the device cool down completely before storing to avoid smoldering fires.
• Soldering steams can be injurious and cause cancer. Mind adequate air ventilation during work.
• Ignite away from face and clothing!

2 Description and Function:

Your Fixpoint ^® gas powered soldering iron is made for soldering, independent from mains. It is small, light weight and is used with butane lighter gas. You can adjust the soldering temperature and change the soldering tip. It comes with electronic piezo ignition. Use the protection cap as safety stand for the soldering iron.

3 Intended Use:

We do not permit using the device in other ways like described in chapter Description and Function. Use the product only in dry interior rooms. Not attending to these regulations and safety instructions might cause fatal accidents, injuries, and damages to persons and property.

4 Scope of Delivery:

1 x soldering iron

1 x user's manual

1 x case

4 x additional soldering tips

1 x solder 60/40, 17g

5 Operating Elements:

Use the protection cap as safety stand for the soldering iron during work breaks like shown in Fig. 1.

1

The control lever is off in left position. - no gas supply 2 By sliding it rightwards it will click softly.

Up to the click:

3 left position - low gas supply = low soldering temperature

mid position - ignition position = medium high soldering temperature right position - high gas supply = high soldering temperature

6 Installing and Operating:

Do not touch the heated soldering tip or barrel!

Use the protection cap as safety stand for the soldering iron during work breaks.

1. Refilling:

Turn the soldering iron upside down and push a butane can into the filling valve. The tank is filled within 15 seconds. Let the gas stabilize after filling for approx. 3 minutes.

2. Ignition:

1. Turn on the fuel by moving the control lever to the right at the mid position (A).
2. Ignite by pushing the ignition button (B).
3. Wait 3 seconds for catalyst to glow.

3. Changing tips:

1. Make sure the soldering tip has cooled down before the removal.
2. Turn it anti-clockwise for loosening with a combination wrench and fasten it clockwise.

Put on the protection cap only when the soldering iron has cooled down completely.

7 Care, Maintenance, Storage and Transport:

ATTENTION! Risk of injury by burning!
