You have purchased one of our high-quality devices. Please familiarise yourself with the product before using it for the first time. To do so, please read through the following operating and safety instructions carefully. This tool must be set up or used only by people who have been trained to do so. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN! z Intended use The device is designed for welding with solid wire (MIG and MAG), MMA welding (welding with rod electrodes), TIG welding (tungsten inert gas welding) as well as welding with flux-cored wire.GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

Whenusing solid wires which do not contain inert gas in solid form, then you must use inert gas in addi- tion. When using self-shielding flux-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. 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. Commercial use will void the warranty. Observing the safety instructions and assembly instructions and operating information in the instructions for use is also a component of the intended use. It is imperative to adhere to the applicable accident prevention regulations. The device must not be used: in insufficiently ventilated rooms, in explosive environments, to defrost pipes, in the vicinity of people with cardiac pacemakers and in close proximity to easily flammable materials.

Familiarise yourself with the device, its proper use and the safety instructions using these operating instructions. The rating plate contains all technical data of this welder; please learn about the technical features of this device. Keep the packaging material away from small children. There is a risk of suffocation! Repairs or/and maintenance work must only be carried out by qualified electricians. This device may be used by children aged 16 years and older, and by persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capaci- ties, or a lack of experience and knowledge, if they are supervised or have 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 mainte- nance must not be performed by children without supervision. Repairs or/and maintenance work must only be carried out by qualified electricians. Only use the welding cables provided in the scope of delivery. During operation, the device should not be positioned directly against the wall, should not be covered or jammed between other devices so that sufficient air can always be absorbed through the ventilation slats. Make sure that the device is correctly connected to the mains voltage. Avoid any form of tensile stress of the power cable. Disconnect the mains 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 the electrodes 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 terminals. Wear and tear of the insulationGB/IE/NI/CY/MT

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 flammable 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. Avoid any form of direct contact with the welding current circuit. The no-load 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), or an automatic welding helmet (in accordance with EN 166, 175 and 389; protection levels DIN 9–13). 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. Do not use the welding power source to defrost pipes. Please note: The light radiation emitted by the 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 of time. Therefore, do not touch the workpiece with bare hands. Arc welding can cause vapours to be released that may be hazardous to health. Be careful not to inhale these vapours. Protect yourself from the harmful effects of the arc and keep people that are not involved in the work away from the arc, maintaining adistance of at least 2m. ATTENTION! During the operation of the welder, other consumers may experi- ence problems with the voltage supply depending on the network conditions at the connection point. In case of doubt, please contact your energy supply company.12 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT During the operation of the welder, other devices may malfunction, e.g. hearing aids, cardiac pacemakers, etc. z Potential hazards during electric arc 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 mains voltage side, e.g. on cables, plugs, sockets etc., may only be carried out by qualified electricians according to national and local regulations. Work on the mains 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 welder from the mains voltage immediately. If electrical contact voltages occur, switch off the device immedi- ately 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 incandes- cent metal droplets can cause burns. Wear suitable protective clothing, no synthetic garments. Do not look into the 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 arc also emits UV radiation. Without suitable protection the invisi- ble ultraviolet radiation can cause very painful conjunctivitis which is not apparent until several hours later. Furthermore, UV radiation can cause burns with sunburn-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 welding produces smoke and harmful gases. No welding work may be carried out on containers that have beenusedGB/IE/NI/CY/MT

– 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 welder! 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 welder in the rain. Do not use the welder in a moist environment. Only place the welder on a level surface. The output is rated at an ambient temperature of 20 °C. The welding time may be reduced at 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 fire. Keep flammable substances away from the welding location. Do not weld near flam

mable materials. Welding sparks can cause fires. Keep a fire extin- guisher 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.14 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT 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 settings. Wear complete body protection. DANGER FROM ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS: Welding current generates electromagnetic fields. Do not use if you have a medical implant. Never wrap the welding cable around your body. Guide welding cables together. z Welding mask-specific safety instructions

With the help of a bright light source (e.g. lighter) always check the proper functioning of the welding mask prior to starting with any welding work. Weld spatters can damage the protective screen. Immediately replace damaged or scratched protective screens. Immediately replace damaged or highly contaminated or splat- tered components. The device must only be operated by people aged 16 or over. Please familiarise yourself with the welding safety instructions. Also refer to the safety instructions of your welder. Always wear a welding mask while welding. If you do not do this, you could sustain severe lesions to the retina. Always wear protective clothing during welding operations. Never use a welding mask without the welding lens. There is a risk of damage to the eyes! Regularly replace the protective screen to ensure good visibility and fatigue-proof work. z 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 encountered, 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;GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

In wet, humid or hot workplaces where the air humidity or sweat significantly reduces the resistance of human skin and the insulat- ing 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 of 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 means of rapid electrical isolation of the welding power source or the welding circuit (e.g. emergency stop device) which are easily accessible. When using welders under electrically dangerous conditions, the output voltage of the welder must not be greater than 113 volt when idling (peak value). Based on the output voltage this welder may be used in these conditions. z 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. z Total of no-load voltages

When more than one welding power source is operated at the same time, their no-load 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 individ- ual 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.16 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT z 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 or use fans to guarantee air supply. – Wear safety goggles and face mask. 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 flying 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 flames!” in the work area. The work- places 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. z EMC Device Classification According to the standard IEC 60974-10, this is a welder 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, difficulties might arise in ensuring electromagnetic compatibility in other environments. Even if the device complies with the emission limit values in accord- ance with the standard, such devices can still cause electromagnetic interference in sensitive systems and devices. The user is responsible forGB/IE/NI/CY/MT

faults caused by the arc while working, and the user must take suitable protective measures. In doing so, the user must consider the following: – power cables, control, signal and telecommunication lines – computer and other microprocessor controlled devices – television, radio and other playback devices – electronic and electrical safety equipment – persons with cardiac pacemakers or hearing aids – measurement and calibration devices – noise immunity of other devices in the vicinity – the time of day at which the work is being done. The following is recommended to reduce possible interference radia- tion: – 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 installed parallel on the floor, if possible – if possible, devices and systems at risk from interference radiation should be removed from the work area or shielded. PLEASE NOTE: This device complies with IEC 61000-3-12, provided that the Ssc short circuit power is larger or equal to 5692.5 kW at the interface point between the operator’s supply and the public supply. It is the responsibility of the installer or user of the device, after consultation with the distribution system operator if necessary, to make sure that the device is only connected to a supply with an Ssc short circuit power which is larger or equal to 5692.5 kW. PLEASE NOTE: Determine (if necessary in consultation with the power supplier) the maximum permitted Zmax system impedance at the interface point of the user supply. The device must only be connected to a user supply with a Zmax system impedance of 0.242 Ω or less. z Overload protection The welder is protected against overheating by means of an automatic protection device (thermostat with automatic restart). Theprotective device breaks the electrical circuit if overheating occurs. In the case of overheating, the words: “over heating” will beshown on the display.18 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT 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. z Before using the device Take all parts from the packaging and check whether the MIG pulse welder or parts show any damage. If this is the case, do not use the MIG pulse welder. Contact the manufacturer via the indicated service address. Remove all protective films and other transport packaging. Check that the delivery is complete. z Selecting the welding method PLEASE NOTE: All the values shown in the following drawings are solely examples and do not represent any recommendations for specific welding parameters. Drawing 1 Drawing 2 When you switch the device on, the last used welding method is automatically enabled. The other parameters (current, voltage, etc.) will also be loaded as previously set. To change the welding method, first press the rotary switch for setting the welding current

(hereafter called switch

. The currently selected welding method is displayed here [MAG in drawing 1]. Then press the switch

again. The menu for selecting the welding mode will open [see drawing 2]. Rotate the switch

, to select the required welding method. Confirm your selection by pressing the switch

again. Now press the rotary switch for setting the welding voltage

, to select the appropriate welding method. z Assembly for welding with wire electrodes ATTENTION: Prevent the risk of an electric shock, injury or damage. To do this always unplug the mains plug from the socket prior to each maintenance task or preparatory work. PLEASE NOTE: Different welding wires will be needed depending on the application. Feed roll, contact tip and wire cross-section must be compatible with one another. The device is suitable for wire rolls weighing up to maximum 15 kg.GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

z Replacing the welding core The pre-installed welding core

is designed for aluminium wire. The welding core

which is not pre-installed is suitable for steel and stainless steel as well as for flux-cored wire. Undo the locking nuts

, by rotating them anti-clockwise. Then pull the welding core

out of the cable assembly with direct connection

and now guide the new welding core with the narrow end first, into the cable assembly with direct connection

. Push the complete new welding core through and then fix it with the locking nuts

When connecting the torch with the core

(not pre-installed), first push the small tube

into the (lower) opening provided for this purpose on the Euro central connector of the welder. In this way the liquid pumping of the wire will be guaranteed. z Adaptation of device to solid welding wire with inert gas The correct connections for solid wire welding when using inert gas are shown in Fig. S.

First connect the plug

with the connector marked with the “+” (see Fig. T). To fix it in place, rotate in a clockwise direction. If you are in any doubt, then please contact a professional. Connect the cable assembly with direct connection

to the appropriate connector (see Fig. T). Tofix the connection, tighten the fixing ring

in a clockwise direction. Then connect the earth cable

with the corresponding connector, marked with the “-” (see Fig. T). To fix the connection in place, rotate in a clockwise direction. Pull the protective cap off the gas connection

on the back of the device. Now connect the inert gas feed including the pressure reducer (not included with the delivery) to the gas connection

(see Fig. C). Inert gas is required if you are not using flux-cored wire with integrated solid inert gas. If necessary, observe the notes for your pressure reducer (not included with the delivery). You can use the following formula as a guideline for adjusting the gas flow: Wire diameter in mm x 10 = gas flow in l/min For example, using 0.8 mm wire, will give a value of approx. 8 l/min.20 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT z Adaptation of device to flux-cored welding wire without inert gas If you are using flux-cored welding wire with integrated inert gas, then you do not have to have an external inert gas supply.

First connect the plug

with the connector marked with the “-” (see Fig. U). To fix it in place, rotate in a clockwise direction. If you are in any doubt, then please contact a professional. Connect the cable assembly with direct connection

to the appropriate connector. To fix the connection, tighten the connection in a clockwise direction. Then connect the earth cable

with the corresponding connector, marked with the “+” (see Fig. U) and to fix the connection in place, rotate in a clockwise direction. z Inserting welding wire Unlock and open the cover of the wire feed unit

, by pushing the release knob upwards. Unlock the roller unit by turning the fixing for the welding spool

anti-clockwise (see Fig. G). Pull the fixing of the welding spool

off the bracket of the welding wire spool

(see Fig. G). PLEASE NOTE: Make sure that the end of the wire does not come loose and cause the roll to roll out on its own. The end of the wire may not be released until during assembly. Completely unpack the welding wire spool

, so that it can unrolled without difficulty. Do not release the wire end yet. If the wire roll is approx. 10 cm wide, remove the adapter

. For wire rolls with a width of approx. 5 cm, the adapter

remains in position. Place the wire roll on the bracket of the welding wire spool

. Make sure that the roll unwinds on the side of the

wire feed guide and that the end of the welding wire is below the welding spool (see Fig. M and N). Place the fixing of the welding spool

back on and lock it by pressing and turning it clockwise. Undo the adjustment screw

and swing it downwards (see Fig. I). Turn the thrust roller unit

to the side (see Fig. J). Loosen the feed roll holder

by turning it anti-clockwise and pull it forwards and off (see Fig. K). On the top of the feed roll

, check whether the appropriate wire thickness is indicated. If necessary, the feed roll

has to be turned over or replaced. The welding wire must be positioned in the upper groove! Erect the feed roll holder

again and screw clockwise direction. Remove the torch nozzle

by pulling and turning it clockwise (see Fig. L). Unscrew the relevant welding nozzle

(see Fig. L). Guide the cable assembly with direct connection

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.GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

Trim the wire end with wire scissors or a diagonal cutter in order to remove the damaged, bent ends of the wire (see Fig. M). PLEASE 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

(see Fig. N). Guide the welding wire along the feed roll

and push it into the wire feed

towards the feed roll

(see Fig. P). Mount the adjustment

screw (see Fig. P). Set the counter pressure with the adjustment screw

. The welding wire must be firmly positioned between the thrust roller and feed roll

in the upper guide without being crushed (see Fig. O). Switch on the welding device on the main switch

. Make sure that your inert gas cylinder is kept firmly closed, until the welding wire has reached the required position. Now the wire feed system pushes the welding wire through the cable assembly

As soon as 1–2 cm of the welding wire protrudes from the torch neck

, release the torch button

again (see Fig. Q). Switch off the welder at the main switch. Screw the relevant welding nozzle

back on (see Fig. R). Make sure that the contact tip

matches the diameter of the welding wire used. With the welding wire delivered with the product, the contact tip

with the labelling 1.0 or 1.0 A must be used when using solid aluminium wire. Connect the torch nozzle

back onto the torch neck

with a turn to the right (see Fig. S). 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. z Welding with wire electrodes z Switching the device on and off Switch the welder on and off on the main switch

. If you do not intend to use the welder for an extended period, remove the mains plug from the power socket. This is the only way to completely de-energise the device. PLEASE NOTE: All the values shown in the following drawings are solely examples and do not represent any recommendations for specific welding parameters.22 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT z MAG welding Drawing 3 Drawing 4 When selecting the MAG method you can choose between flux-cored wire and steel wire. First press the rotary switch for setting the welding current

(hereafter called switch

Select the upper middle field by rotating the switch

. The currently selected wire will be shown here [FLUX 0.8 in drawing 3]. Then press the switch

again, to go to the wire selection menu [drawing 4]. By rotating and pressing the switch

you can set the welding wire you are using as well as the inert gas used, if necessary. For steel wire (Fe + CO / Fe + MIX 80/20) you can use CO2 or a 80% Argon / 20% CO2 mix as the inert gas Then by rotating and pressing the switch

you can set the wire diameter. By pressing the switch for voltage setting

(hereafter called switch

) you can go back to the welding settings. In the top bar you can now choose between “2T” (2-touch) and “4T” (4-touch) accordingly. With 2-touch welding the voltage is present as long as the trigger on the torch is pressed. With the 4-touch method the voltage is present once the trigger of the torch is pressed briefly and then released. The voltage will be interrupted as soon as the trigger is pressed again. You can now set the welding current by rotating the switch

. The wire feed adjusts automatically and axrecommendation is displayed for the material thickness to be welded, in mm. Rotate the switch

to adjust the voltage which also changes the length of the arc “ARC LENGTH”. If the switch

is pressed and then rotated, then you can adjust the inductance “INDUCTANCE”. z PMIG welding Drawing 5GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

For reduced spatter and a more stable arc, you can select the Pulse MIG method. With this method you can choose between steel wire, CrNi, CuSi, AlMg, AlSi and Al wire [drawing 5]. In addition, the inert gas required will be specified. When using particular wires, use the following inert gases: Fe (steel wire): [80% Argon/20% CO2] CrNi (stainless steel) wire: [98% Argon/2% CO2] CuSi, AlMg, AlSi and aluminium wire: [100% Argon] Navigation within the PMIG menu is carried out in a similar way to navigation in the “MAG” menu using the switches

. The diameter of the welding wire used can also be set and you can select “2T” and “4T”. z DPMIG welding Using the double pulse MIG method, less heat is transferred into the material. Because of this, thismethod is particularly suitable for welding thin sheets of stainless steel and aluminium. With this method the same wire electrodes and inert gases can be used as with PMIG welding. Navigation within the DPMIG menu is carried out in a similar way to navigation in the “MAG” menu using the switches

. The diameter of the welding wire used can also be set and you can select “2T” and “4T”. In addition, after setting the welding wire used, this is where you can recall the parameter diagram by pressing the switch

twice. This is where you can set the individual parameters for the DPMIG method. We recommend that you use the pre-set values at this point. As an advanced user, you can adjust the individual values to adapt the welding procedure precisely to your planned work. To reset the parame- ters which have been set, return to the DPMIG [drawing 6] and keep the switch 12 pressed for approx. 5 seconds. Drawing 6 RISK OF BURNS! Welded workpieces are very hot and can cause burns. Always use pliers to move hot, welded workpieces. Please proceed as follows once you have electrically connected the welder: Put on appropriate protective clothing in accordance with the specifications and prepare your workplace. Connect the earthing cable to

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.24 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT Set the required welding parameters depending on the welding method selected. Guide the torch nozzle

to the position on the workpiece that is to be welded. Press the torch button

, 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

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, itis 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 arc is ignited in the weld groove, guided to the connection point, melted properly and finally the weld seam is continued. CAUTION: Please note that the torch must always be placed on an insulated surface after welding. Always switch off the welder after completing welding work and during breaks and pull the mains plug from the power socket. z Creating a weld seam Forehand welding Push the torch forwards. Result: The penetration depth is lower, broader weld width, flatter weld bead (visible surface of the seam) and greater fusion error tolerance. Backhand welding The torch is dragged from the weld seam (Fig. V). 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.GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

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. W, X).

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. Y).

Fillet weld connections A fillet 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 fillet (Fig. Z, AA). 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. Z).

AA26 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT However, it is no longer expedient for thicker materials. In this case, it is better to prepare a joint as shown in Figure Y, in which the edge of the plate is angled. Overlap welds The most common preparation is that with 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.

z MMA welding Make sure that the main switch

is set to position “O” (“OFF”) or that the mains plug

is not plugged into the socket. Connect the electrode holder

and the earth terminal

to the welding device, as shown in Fig.AC. Also refer to the information from the electrode manufacturer and make sure that the polarity can be changed depending on the type of electrodes used, if necessary. Put on appropriate protective clothing in accordance with the specifications and prepare your workplace. Connect the earth terminal

to the workpiece. Clamp the electrode into the electrode holder

Switch the device on by setting the main switch to the

“I” (“ON”) position. Select the “MMA” mode as described under “Selecting the welding method”.

PLEASE NOTE: All the values shown in the following drawings are solely examples and do not represent any recommendations for specific welding parameters.GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

Drawing 7 When selecting the MMA method you can adjust the welding current by turning the rotary switch for setting the welding current

(hereafter called switch

). In addition the ANTI STICK and VRD functions can be activated by pressing and rotating the switch

. [drawing 7] ANTI STICK prevents the electrodes from sticking to the workpiece. Using VRD reduces the voltage if you are not going to weld straightaway. This results in a particularly safe way of working. By rotating or pressing and then rotating the switch for setting the voltage

you can adjust the values for HOT START and ARC FORCE. Increasing the HOT START value will make it easier to ignite the arc. ARC FORCE works in a similar way to ANTI STICK by stopping the electrodes from sticking to the workpiece. PLEASE NOTE: Guideline values for the welding current to be used, depending on the electrode diameter can be taken from the following table. Ø Electrode Welding current

ATTENTION: Do not bring the earth terminal

and the electrode holder

/electrodes into direct contact with one another. ATTENTION: When welding with rod electrodes, the electrode holder

and the earth terminal

must be connected in accordance with the information from the electrode manufacturer. Put on appropriate protective clothing in accordance with the specifications and prepare your workplace. To stop the procedure, set the main switch ON/OFF

to “O” (“OFF”) position. ATTENTION: Do not dab on the workpiece with the electrode. It could be damaged and make it more difficult 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.28 GB/IE/NI/CY/MT 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 welder 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 inflammation of the eyes and skin burns. Casting and welding slag can cause eye injuries and burns. It is essential that you only use the welding cable which is included with the delivery. Choose between push and drag welding. The following section shows the impact of the direction of movement on the properties of the weld seam: Push welding Drag welding Burn smaller larger Weld seam width larger smaller Weld bead flatter higher Weld seam fault larger smaller PLEASE NOTE: You decide for yourself which type of welding is most suitable, once you have welded a sample piece. PLEASE NOTE: Once it has worn down completely, the electrode must be replaced. z TIG welding For TIG welding please follow the instructions for your TIG torch. TIG mode can be activated as described under “Selecting the welding method”.GB/IE/NI/CY/MT

PLEASE NOTE: All the values shown in the following drawings are solely examples and do not represent any recommendations for specific welding parameters. Drawing 8 When selecting the TIG method you can adjust the welding current by turning the rotary switch for setting the welding current

(hereafter called switch

). In addition the ANTI STICK function can be activated by pressing and rotating the switch

. [drawing 8] ANTI STICK prevents the electrodes from sticking to the workpiece. By rotating the switch for setting the voltage

you can adjust the value for UP TIME. This determines how quickly the power will ramp up when you start the welding work. Ahigher value means a slower power up. z Maintenance and cleaning PLEASE NOTE: The welding device must be regularly serviced and overhauled for proper function and for compliance with the safety requirements. Improper and wrong operation may cause failures and damage to the device. Repairs must only be carried out by qualified electricians. Switch off the main power supply and the main switch of the device off prior to performing any maintenance work on the welding device. Clean the welding device and accessories regularly using air, cotton waste or a brush. In case of a defect or a necessary replacement of equipment parts, please contact the appropriate qualified personnel. z Information about recycling and disposal DON’T THROW AWAY – RECYCLE!
