Frequently Asked Questions - GYSMI 160A GYS
What types of electrodes can I use with the GYSMI 160A?
The GYSMI 160A is compatible with coated electrodes (MMA) of type rutile, basic and stainless steel (diameters 1.6 to 4.0 mm).
How to adjust the welding current?
Turn the adjustment knob on the front panel to adjust the current between 10 and 160 A. For TIG, use the same setting depending on the metal thickness.
Can I weld stainless steel parts with this device?
Yes, with electrodes suitable for stainless steel (e.g., rutile stainless steel electrodes) in MMA mode. In TIG, use a stainless steel rod under argon gas protection (option).
What to do if the thermal protection indicator lights up?
This indicates overheating. Stop the machine, let it cool down for 15 to 30 minutes and check that the ventilation is not obstructed.
How to connect the ground cable and the electrode holder?
Connect the ground cable to the negative terminal (-) and the electrode holder to the positive terminal (+) for MMA welding. For TIG, reverse the polarities (ground to +, torch to -).
What is the difference between MMA and TIG modes on this machine?
MMA mode allows welding with coated electrodes. TIG Lift mode uses a TIG torch with contact ignition; it also requires an argon gas cylinder (not supplied).
Can you weld aluminum with the GYSMI 160A?
No, this machine is not suitable for welding aluminum. It is designed for steel, stainless steel and cast iron (with specific electrodes).
How to clean the device after use?
Unplug the device, wipe the casing with a dry cloth. Clean the connectors and check that the ventilation grilles are free of dust.
What cable section for the power supply?
Use a cable with a minimum cross-section of 2.5 mm² with a 16 A plug (230 V). A 30 mA residual current circuit breaker is recommended.
Where to find spare parts such as cables or the clamp?
Spare parts are available at GYS authorized dealers or online. Refer to the manual for part numbers.
