Frequently Asked Questions - PMSG 200 A1 PARKSIDE

How to choose the welding mode (MIG, MMA, TIG)?

Use the welding mode button 35 to switch between modes. The corresponding indicator lights up. MIG is used for gas-shielded wire welding, MMA for electrode rods, and TIG for tungsten inert gas welding.

What protective equipment should I wear?

Always wear a welding helmet with suitable protective glass (DIN shade 9–10), dry insulating gloves, non-synthetic protective clothing, and insulating shoes. Protect your skin from UV radiation and burns.

How to adjust the welding current?

Use the rotary switch 6 to adjust the current according to wire diameter, material thickness, and desired weld depth. Perform a test on a sample to find the optimal setting.

What to do in case of overcurrent ('O.C.' indication)?

The 'O.C.' indicator flashes when the maximum current is exceeded. Turn off the device with the main switch 5, let it cool for about 15 minutes, then turn it on again. Avoid exceeding the current limits.

Can I weld outdoors?

Yes, but never in rain or snow. Use a self-shielded flux-cored wire (gasless) to be wind-resistant. Ensure the device is protected from moisture and follow safety instructions.

What gas to use for welding aluminum?

For solid aluminum wire, use argon as shielding gas. The welding nozzle must be suitable (designation 1.0 A). The recommended gas flow rate is about 10 l/min for a 1.0 mm wire.

How to change the welding wire?

Turn off and unplug the device. Open the cover, unlock the spool holder, place the new spool, guide the wire through the wire guide and drive roller, then screw the nozzle back on. Turn on the device and press the trigger to advance the wire.

The device displays 'O.H.'?

'O.H.' indicates thermal overload. The device is in thermal protection: the fan cools the machine. Wait until the indication disappears (about 15 minutes) before welding again. Avoid excessively long welding cycles.

What are the safety instructions for MMA welding?

Connect the electrode and the ground according to the manufacturer's instructions. Wear a welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing. Do not touch the electrode with bare hands. Use pliers to move hot parts. Observe safety distances.

What is the warranty period?

The device has a warranty of 3 years from the date of purchase. Keep the receipt and the IAN number (337263_2007). The warranty covers material and manufacturing defects, but not normal wear and tear or damage from improper use.

- Intendeduse

The device is designed for MIG welding (welding with welding wire and inert gas), MMA welding (welding with rod electrodes) and TIG welding (tungsten inert gas welding). When using solid wires which do not contain inert gas in solid form, then you must use inert gas in addition. When using aluminium solid wire, then you must use argon as the inert gas. When using self-shielding fl ux-cored wire, you do not need to use any

additional gas. In this case, the inert gas is contained in the welding wire in powdered form and is therefore channelled straight into the arc. This means that the device is not susceptible to wind when working outdoors. Only suitable wire electrodes may be used for the device. This welding device is designed for manual arc welding (MMA welding) of steel, stainless steel, steel sheet and cast materials, using the appropriate coated electrodes. Refer to the information from the electrode manufacturer. Only suitable electrodes may be used for the device. For tungsten inert gas welding (TIG welding) it is essential that you observe the operating and safety instructions for the TIG torch you are using, in addition to the instructions and safety instructions in these operating instructions. If it is not handled properly the product can be dangerous for individuals, animals and property. The welding mask must only be used with protective welding glasses as well as prescription glasses which are marked appropriately, used properly and as a general rule, are only used for welding. The welding mask is not designed for laser welding! Use the product only as described and only for the specific applications as stated. Keep these instructions in a safe place.

Ensure you hand over all documentation when passing the product on to anyone else. Any use that differs to the intended use as stated above is prohibited and potentially dangerous. Damage or injury caused by misuse or disregarding the above warning is not covered by the warranty or any liability on the part of the manufacturer. The device should only be used by specialists or those who been trained. Commercial use will void the guarantee.

been instructed in how to use the device safely and understand the dangers that may arise when using it. Do not allow children to play with the device. Cleaning and day-to-day maintenance must not be performed by children without supervision.

■ Repairs and/or maintenance work must only be carried out by qualified electricians.
Only use the welding cables (PMSG 200 A1 H01N2-D1x16 mm²) included in the scope of delivery.
During operation, the device should not be positioned directly on the wall, covered or jammed between other devices so that sufficient air can be absorbed through the ventilation slats. Make sure that the device is correctly connected to the supply voltage. Avoid any form of tensile stress of the power cable. Disconnect the plug from the socket prior to setting up the device in another location.
If the device is not in operation, always switch it off by pressing the ON/OFF switch. Place the electrode holder on an insulated surface and only

remove it from the holder after allowing it to cool down for 15 minutes.

- Pay attention to the condition of the welding cable, electrode holder and the earth terminal. Wear and tear of the insulation and the live parts can lead to hazards and reduce the quality of the welding work.

- Arc welding creates sparks, molten metal parts and smoke. Therefore ensure that: All fl ammable substances and/ or materials are removed from the work station and its immediate surrounding.

■ Ensure the work station is ventilated.

- Do not weld on containers, vessels or tubes that contain or contained flammable liquids or gases.

WARNING! Avoid any form of direct contact with the welding current circuit. The open circuit voltage between the electrode holder and earth terminal can be dangerous, there is a risk of electric shock.

- Do not store the device in a damp or wet environment or in the rain. Protection rating IP21S is applicable in this case.

- Protect your eyes using the appropriate protective glasses (DIN level 9–10), which are fastened to the supplied welding mask. Wear gloves and dry protective clothing that are free of oil and grease to protect the skin from exposure to ultraviolet radiation of the arc.

WARNING! Do not use the welding power source to defrost pipes.

Please note:

■ The light radiation emitted by the electric arc can damage eyes and cause burns to the skin.

- Arc welding creates sparks and drops of melted metal. The welded workpiece starts to glow and remains hot for a relatively long period. Therefore, do not touch the workpiece with bare hands.

- Arc welding can cause vapours to be release that may be hazardous to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours.

■ Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the electric arc and keep people that are not involved in the work away from the arc maintaining a distance of at least 2 m.

ATTENTION!

During the operation of the welding device, other consumers may experience problems with the voltage supply depending on the network conditions at the connection point. In case of doubt, please contact your energy supply company.

During the operation of the welding device, other devices may malfunction, e.g. hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc.

• Potential hazards duringelectricarc welding

There are a series of potential hazards that can occur during electric arc welding. It is therefore particularly important for the welder to observe the following rules to avoid endangering him/herself and others and to prevent damage to people and the device.

■ Work on the voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets etc., may only be carried out by qualified electricians according to national and local regulations.

In the event of accidents, disconnect the welding device from the mains voltage immediately.

If electrical contact voltages occur, switch off the device immediately and have it checked by a qualified electrician.

■ Always ensure good electrical contacts on the welding current side.

■ Always wear insulating gloves on both hands during welding work. These provide protection from electrical shocks (no-load voltage of the welding current circuit), harmful radiations (heat and UV radiation) and incandescent metal and splashes of slag.

■ Wear sturdy, insulating shoes. The shoes should also insulate when exposed to moisture. Loafers are not suitable as falling incandescent metal droplets can cause burns.

■ Wear suitable protective clothing, no synthetic garments.

Do not look into the electric arc without eye protection; only use a welding mask with the prescribed protective glass as per DIN. In addition to light

and heat radiation, which can dazzle or cause burns, the electric arc also emits UV radiation. Without suitable protection the invisible ultraviolet radiation can cause very painful conjunctivitis which is not apparent until several hours later. Furthermore, UV radiation can cause burns sun-burn-like effects on unprotected parts of the body.

■ Any persons in the vicinity of the electric arc or helpers must also be informed of the dangers and be equipped with the necessary protective equipment. If necessary, set up protective walls.
■ Ensure an adequate supply of fresh air whilst welding, particularly in small spaces, as it produces smoke and harmful gases.
No welding work may be carried out on containers that have been used for storing gases, fuels, mineral oils or similar – even if they have been empty for a long time – as possible residues may present a risk of explosion.
■ Special regulations apply in rooms where there is a risk of fire or explosion.

■ Welded joints that are subject to heavy stress loads and are required to comply with certain safety requirements may only be carried out by specially trained and certified welders. Examples of this are pressure vessels, running rails, tow bars, etc.

⚠️ ATTENTION! Always connect the earth terminal as close as possible to the point of weld to provide the shortest possible path for the welding current from the electrode to the earth terminal. Never connect the earth terminal to the housing of the welding device! Never connect the earth terminal to earthed parts far away from the workpiece, e.g. a water pipe in another corner of the room. This could otherwise damage the protective bonding system of the room you are welding.

• Do not use the welding device in the rain.
  ■ Only place the welding device on a level surface.
  The output is rated at an ambient temperature of 20 °C. The welding time may be reduced in higher temperatures.

Risk of electric shock:

Electric shock from a welding electrode can be fatal. Do not weld in rain or snow. Wear dry insulating gloves. Do not touch the electrodes with bare hands. Do not wear wet or damaged gloves. Protect yourself from electric shock with insulation against the workpiece. Do not open the device housing.

Danger from welding fumes:

Inhalation of welding fumes can endanger health. Do not keep your head in the fumes. Use the equipment in open areas. Use extractors to remove the fumes.

Danger from welding sparks:

Welding sparks can cause an explosion or fi re. Keep fl ammable substances away from the welding location. Do not weld next to fl ammable substances. Welding sparks can cause fi res. Keep a fi re extinguisher close by and an observer should be present to be able to use it immediately. Do not weld on drums or any other closed containers.

Danger from arc beams:

Arc beams can damage your eyes and injure your skin. Wear a hat and safety goggles. Wear hearing protection and high, closed shirt collars. Wear welding safety helmets and make sure you use the appropriate filter setting. Wear complete body protection.

Danger from electro- magnetic fi elds:

Welding current generates electromagnetic fi elds. Do not use if you have a medical implant. Never wrap the welding cable around your body. Guide welding cables together.

• Welding mask-specific safety instructions
  ■ With the help of a bright light source (e.g. lighter) examine the proper functioning of the welding shield prior to starting with any welding work.
  ■ Weld spatters can damage the welding lens. Immediately replace damaged or scratched welding lenses.
• Immediately replace damaged or highly contaminated or splattered components.

■ The device must only be operated by people over the age of 16.
- Please familiarise yourself with the welding safety instructions. Also refer to the safety instructions of your welding device.
■ Always wear a welding mask while welding. If it is not used, you could sustain severe lesions to the retina.
■ Always wear protective clothing during welding operations.
■ Never use the welding mask without the welding lens. There is a risk of damage to the eyes!
■ Regularly replace the welding lens to ensure good visibility and fatigue-proof work.

• Environment with increased electrical hazard

When welding in environments with increased electrical hazard, the following safety instructions must be observed.

Environments with increased electrical hazard may be encou- tered, for example:

In workplaces where the space for movement is restricted, such that the welder is working in a forced posture (e.g.: kneeling, sitting, lying) and is touching electrically conductive parts;
In workplaces which are restricted completely or in part in terms of electrical conductivity and where there is a high risk through avoidable or accidental touching by the welder;
In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or weld signifi cantly reduces the resistance of human skin and the insulating properties or effect of protective equipment.

Even a metal conductor or scaffolding can create an environment with increased electrical hazard.

In this type of environment, insulated mats and pads must be used. Furthermore gauntlet gloves and head protection made of leather or other insulating materials must be worn to insulate the body against Earth. The welding power source must be located outside the working area or

electrically conductive surfaces and out of the welder's reach.

Additional protection against a shock from the mains power in the event a fault can be provided by using a fault-circuit interrupter, which is operated with a leakage current of no more than 30 mA and covers all mains-powered devices in close proximity. The fault-circuit interrupter must be suitable for all types of current.

There must be a way of rapidly disconnecting the welding power source or the welding current circuit (e.g. emergency stop device) which is easy to reach. When using welding devices under electrically-hazardous conditions, the output voltage of the welding device during idle operation must not be higher than 113 V (peak value). Based on the output voltage this welding device may be used in these conditions.

- Welding in tight spaces

When welding in tight spaces this may pose a hazard through toxic gases (risk of suffocation). In tight spaces you may only

weld if there are trained individuals in the immediate vicinity who can intervene if necessary. In this case, before starting the welding procedure, an expert must carry out an assessment in order to determine what steps are necessary, in order to guarantee safety at work and which precautionary measures should be taken during the actual welding procedure.

- Total of open circuit voltages

When more than one welding power source is operated at the same time, their open circuit voltages may add up and lead to an increased electrical hazard. Welding power sources must be connected in such a way that the danger is minimised. The individual welding power sources, with their individual control units and connections, must be clearly marked, in order to be able to identify which device belongs to which welding power circuit.

- Protective clothing

■ At work, the welder must protect his/her whole body by

using appropriate clothing and face protection against radiations and burns. The following steps must be observed:

• Wear protective clothing prior to welding work.
• Wear gloves.
• Open windows to guarantee air supply.
• Wear protective goggles.

■ Gauntlet gloves made of a suitable material (leather) must be worn on both hands. They must be in perfect condition.

A suitable apron must be worn to protect clothing from fl ying sparks and burns. When specific work, e.g. overhead welding, is required, a protective suit must be worn and, if necessary, even head protection.

● Protection against rays and burns
- Warn of the danger to the eyes by hanging up a sign saying "Caution! Do not look into fl ames!". The workplaces must be shielded so that the persons in the vicinity are protected. Unauthorised persons must be kept away from welding work.

The walls in the immediate vicinity of fixed workplaces should neither be bright coloured or shiny. Windows up to head height must be protected to prevent rays from penetrating or reflecting through them, e.g. by using suitable paint.

• EMC Device Classification

According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this is a welding device in electromagnetic compatibility Class A. Class A devices are devices that are suitable for use in all other areas except living areas and areas that are directly connected to a low-voltage supply mains that (also) supplies residential buildings. Class A devices must adhere to the Class A limit values.

WARNING NOTICE: Class A devices are intended for use in an industrial environment. Due to the power-related as well as the radiated interference variables, diffi culties might arise in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments.

Even if the device complies with the emission limit values in accordance with the standard, such devices can still cause electromagnetic interference in sensitive systems and devices. The user is responsible for faults caused by the arc while working, and the user must take suitable protective measures. In doing so, the operator must consider the following:

• Mains, control, signal and telecommunication cables
• Computers and other microprocessor-controlled devices
  – TVs, radios and other playback devices
• Electronic and electrical safety equipment
• Persons with heart pacemakers or hearing aids
• Measuring and calibration equipment
• Interference immunity of other nearby equipment
• The time of day at which the work is being done

The following is recommended to reduce possible interference radiation:

• Fit a mains filter to the mains connection

• Service the device regularly and keep it in good condition

• Welding cables should be completely unwound and run as parallel as possible on the floor

• If possible, devices and systems at risk from interference radiation should be removed from the work area or shielded.

The product is intended solely for professional use.

  ■ Loosen the feed roll holder 28 by turning it anti-clockwise and pull it forwards and off (see Fig. J).
  On the top of the feed roll 18, check whether the appropriate wire thickness is indicated. If necessary, the feed roll 18 has to be turned over or replaced (see Fig. E). The supplied welding wire (∅ 1.0 mm) must be used in the feed roll 18 with the specified wire thickness of ∅ 1.0 mm. The welding wire must be positioned in the upper groove!
  ■ Erect the feed roll holder 28 again and screw clockwise direction.
  ■ Remove the torch nozzle 7 by pulling and turning it clockwise (see Fig. K).
  ■ Unscrew the welding nozzle 14 (see Fig. K).
  ■ Guide the cable assembly with direct connection 10 away from the welding device as straight as possible (place it on the floor).
  Take the wire end out of the edge of the spool (see Fig. L).
• Trim the wire end with wire scissors or a diagonal cutter in order to remove the damaged, bent ends of the wire (see Fig. L).
  Note: The welding wire must be kept under tension the entire time in order

to avoid a releasing and a roll out! Therefore it is recommended to carry out the work with an additional person.

■ Push the welding wire through the wire feed guide 29 (see Fig. M).
■ Guide the welding wire along the feed roll 18 and push it into the cable assembly holder 30 (see Fig. N).
■ Swivel the thrust roller unit 26 towards the feed roll 18 (see Fig. O).
■ Mount the adjustment 25 screw (see Fig. O).
- Set the counter pressure with the adjustment screw 25. The welding wire must be firmly positioned between the thrust roller and feed roll 18 in the upper guide without being crushed (see Fig. O).
■ Switch on the welding device on the main 5 switch (see Fig. T).
■ Press the torch button 9.
Now the wire feed system pushes the welding wire through the cable assembly 10 and the torch 8.
As soon as 1–2 cm of the welding wire protrudes from the torch neck 31, release the torch 9 button again (see Fig. P).
■ Switch off the welding device on the main switch.
Screw the welding nozzle 14 back on. Make sure that the welding nozzle 14 matches the diameter of the welding wire used (see Fig. Q). With the welding wire delivered with the product, the welding nozzle 14 with the labelling 1.0 or 1.0 A must be used when using solid aluminium wire.
■ Push the torch nozzle 7 back on to the torch neck with a turn to the right 31 (see Fig. R).

⚠ WARNING! Always unplug the mains plug from the socket prior to each maintenance task or preparatory work in order to prevent the risk of an electric shock, injury or damage.

- Using the device

- Switching the device on and off

Switch the welding device on and off on the main 5 switch. If you do not intend to use the welding device for an extended period, remove the plug from the power socket. This is the only way to completely de-energise the device.

- Select welding wire

First set to "MIG" mode by pressing the welding mode selector key 35. Then select the welding wire which has been inserted by pressing the upper welding wire selector key 36.

- Welding

Overload protection

The welding device is protected against overheating by means of an automatic protection device (thermostat with automatic restart). The protective device breaks the electrical circuit if overheating occurs.

Allow the device to cool down for the activation of the protection device. After approx. 15 minutes, the device is ready to be used again.

Overcurrent indicator

In the event of misuse, the output current may exceed the intended maximum value. In this case, the protective device breaks the welding current circuit and

the "O.C" overcurrent indicator is shown on the display.

If the overcurrent indicator is shown, switch the device off using the main switch 5. After approx. 15 minutes, the device is ready to be used again and can be switched on using the main switch 5.

Welding mask

WARNING!

HEALTH HAZARD!

If you do not use the welding mask, harmful UV radiation and heat emitted by the electric arc could damage your eyes. Always use the welding mask for welding work.

WARNING!

RISK OF BURNS!

Welded workpieces are very hot and can cause burns. Always use pliers to move hot, welded workpieces.

ATTENTION!

With MIG welding, we recommend a material thickness of 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm when welding aluminium and a thickness of 0.8 mm – 3.0 mm when welding iron/steel.

Please proceed as follows once you have electrically connected the welding device:

■ Connect the earth cable to 4 the workpiece that is to be welded using the earth terminal. Please ensure good electrical conductivity.
The area to be welded on the workpiece must be free of rust and paint.
- Choose the desired welding current depending on the welding wire diameter, material thickness and desired penetration depth.
- Guide the torch nozzle 7 and hold the welding mask 22 in front of the face.

Press the torch button 9, in order to feed the welding wire. Once the electric arc is burning, the device feeds welding wire into the weld pool.
- You can work out the ideal settings for the welding current by carrying out trial welds on a test piece. A properly set electric arc has a mild, uniform buzzing sound.
In case of a rough or hard rattle, switch to a higher power level (increase welding current).
If the welding lens is big enough, the torch 8 is slowly guided along the desired edge. The distance between the torch nozzle and workpiece should be as small as possible (it must not be greater than 10 mm).
If necessary, oscillate a little to increase the size of the weld pool. For inexperienced welders, it is often difficult initially to create a decent electric arc. To do so, the welding current must be set correctly.
The penetration depth (corresponds to the depth of the welding seam in the material) should be as deep as possible without allowing the welding pool to fall through the workpiece.
If the welding current is too low, the welding wire will not melt properly. Consequently, the welding wire repeatedly dips in the welding pool as far as the workpiece.
The slag can only be removed from the seam once it has cooled down. To continue welding an interrupted seam:
■ First remove the slag at the starting point.
The electric arc is ignited in the weld groove, guided to the connection point, melted properly and finally the weld seam is continued.

Setting appropriate parameters for current and voltage for welding aluminium with aluminium wire.

For welding aluminium we recommend using lower voltages than you would use for welding iron/steel. To set the appropriate voltage range, you can proceed as follows: prepare the device as described under "Adaptation of device to solid welding wire with inert gas". To weld aluminium wire select the setting "1.0/Al(5356)" by pressing the welding wire selector key 36. Now press the voltage reducer selector key 37, until the LED next to "U" fl ashes. Now set a current of approx. 0.5 A. Press the voltage reducer selector key 37, until the LEDs next to the "U" and "A/VRD" are no longer illuminated. The voltage when MIG welding can now be adjusted in a lower voltage range which is more suited for aluminium welding. If the rotary switch for adjusting the welding current 6 is simultaneously pressed and rotated, then the welding current can be altered in 10 A steps. As guideline values, to weld 2 mm aluminium sheet you can set 14.5 Volt and a current of 91 Amps. The optimum welding settings should be determined by welding on a sample workpiece.

⚠️ CAUTION! Please note that the torch must always be placed on an insulated surface after welding.

■ Always switch off the welding device after completing welding work and during breaks and pull the plug from the mains socket.

- Create a weld seam

Forehand welding

Push the torch forwards. Result: The penetration depth is lower, broader weld width, fl atter weld bead (visible surface of the seam) and greater fusion error tolerance.

Backhand welding

The torch is dragged from the weld seam (Fig. U). Result: Greater penetration depth, narrower weld width, higher weld bead and lower fusion error tolerance.

Welded joints

There are two-basic types of joints in welding: Butt welds (outer edge) and angle welding (inner edge and overlapping).

Butt welds

With butt welds of up to 2 mm material thickness, the weld edges are completely brought together. For greater thicknesses, a gap of 0.5–4 mm must be selected. The ideal gap depends on the welded material (aluminium or steel), the material composition as well as the type of welding selected. This gap should be determined by welding on a sample workpiece.

Flat butt welds

Welds should be made without interruption and with a sufficient penetration depth. Therefore, it is extremely important to be well prepared. The quality of the weld result is affected by: the amperage, the gap between weld edges, the inclination of the torch and the diameter of the welding wire. The steeper you hold the torch against the workpiece, the higher the penetration depth and vice versa.

To forestall or reduce deformations that can happen during the material hardening process, it is good to fix the workpiece with a device. Avoid stiffening the welded structure to prevent cracks in the weld. These problems can be avoided if there is a possibility of turning the workpiece so that the weld can be carried out in two passes running in opposite directions.

Welds on the outer edge

The preparation for this is very simple (Fig. V, W).

However, it is no longer expedient for thicker materials. In this case, it is better to prepare a joint as shown below, in which the edge of the plate is angled (Fig. X).

X 45°

Fillet weld connections

A fi llet weld is created if the workpieces are perpendicular to each other. The weld should be shaped like a triangle with sides of equal length and a slight fi llet (Fig. Y, Z).

Welds on an inner edge

The preparation for this weld joint is very simple and is carried out for thicknesses of 5 mm. The dimension "d" needs to be reduced to a minimum and should always be less than 2 mm (Fig. Y).

Y ↓ d

However, it is no longer expedient for thicker materials. In this case, it is better to prepare a joint as shown in Figure X, in which the edge of the plate is angled.

Z 90° 90°

Overlap welds

The most common preparation is that with the straight weld edges. The weld can be released using a standard angle weld seam. Both workpieces must be brought as close to each other as possible, as shown in Fig. AB.

- MMA welding

■ Make sure that the main switch 5 is set to position "O" ("OFF") or that the power plug 3 is not plugged into the socket.

■ Connect the electrode holder 34 and the earth terminal 4 to the welding device, as shown in Fig. AC). Also refer to the information from the electrode manufacturer.

- Put on appropriate protective clothing in accordance with the specifications and prepare your workspace.

■ Connect the earth terminal 4 to the workpiece.

- Clamp the electrode into the electrode holder 34.

• Switch the device on by setting the main switch to the 5 "I" ("ON") position.
• Select "MMA" mode by pressing the selector switch for welding mode 35, until the small indicator lamp next to MMA lights up.
• Adjust the welding current using the rotary switch for welding current adjustment 6 depending on the electrode you are using.

AC PARKSIDE PMSG 2003 35 36 6 34 4

Note: Guideline values for the welding current to be used, depending on the electrode diameter can be taken from the following table.

∅ Electrode	Welding current
1.6 mm 40–55 A
2.0 mm 55–65 A
2.5 mm 65–80 A
3.2 mm 80–120 A

Note: By pressing the voltage reducer selector key 37 you can activate the voltage reducer function (VRD). The LED next to "A/VRD" lights up. By doing this the output voltage is reduced and the safety for the user during breaks from welding will be increased.

⚠ Attention: Do not bring the earth terminal 4 and the electrode holder 34/electrodes into direct contact with one another.
⚠ Attention: When welding with rod electrodes, the electrodeholder 34 and the earth terminal 4 must be connected in accordance with the information from the electrode manufacturer.

• Hold the welding mask 22 in front of your face and start the welding procedure.
  To stop the procedure, set the main switch ON/OFF 5 to "O" ("OFF") position.
  ⚠ Attention: When the thermal sensor is triggered, "O.H." will be shown on the digital display. In this case, it will not be possible to continue welding. The device will remain in operation so that the fan can cool the device. As soon as the device is ready for operation again, the "O.H." display will disappear. The welding function can now be used again.
  ⚠ Attention: Do not dab on the workpiece with the electrode. It could be damaged and make it more diffi cult to ignite the arc. As the soon as the arc is ignited, try to maintain a distance to the workpiece which corresponds to the diameter of the electrode being used. The gap should remain as constant as possible while you are welding. The inclination of the electrode in the direction of operation should be 20–30 degrees.
  ⚠ Attention: Always use pliers to remove used electrodes or hot workpieces. Make sure that the electrode holder is always placed onto an insulated surface after welding. The slag can only be removed from the seam

once it has cooled down. To continue welding an interrupted seam:

■ First remove the slag at the connection point.
The electric arc is ignited in the weld groove, guided to the connection point, melted properly there and then continues from that point.

⚠ Attention: Welding generates heat. Therefore the welding device must run idle for at least half an hour after use. Alternatively, you can leave the device to cool for an hour. The device can only be packed away and stored once the temperature of the device is normal again.
⚠ Attention: A voltage which is 10% below the rated input voltage of the welding device can have the following consequences:

■ The power to the device will reduce.

■ The arc stops or becomes unstable.

Attention:

■ The arc radiation can lead to infl am- mation of the eyes and skin burns.
■ Casting and welding slag can cause eye injuries and burns.
Fit the welding mask as described below in the section "Fit welding mask".

Welding mask
