Chapter 3 Operation
Step8: Open the gas valve of the regulator and set a flow of 5-7 L/Min, depending on the welding
position chosen.
Step9: Open the power, press the switch spasmodically, adjust the speed by turning the adjusting
wire feed speed knob, in relation to the position of the welding current selector.
Step10: Orient yourself on the area to be welded, and then place the Face Shield over your eyes.
Step11: Press (and hold) the torch button and stroke the area to be welded with the electrode wire
to ignite the arc.
Step12: Once the arc is ignited, tilt the electrode wire forward at an angle of approximately 35
o
.

Step13: When the weld is complete, lift the electrode wire clearly away form any grounded object,
set the Face Shield down and turn the Power Switch to the “OFF” position.
Step14: Unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet.
Step15: Close the gas cylinder valve.
Step16: Depress torch trigger to release gas in regulator, the gas pressure indicator will return to
0.
If welding with large current for a long time and exceed the duty cycle, the overload
lamp will light (yellow), the machine will stop working until looking to the stated
temperature. When the overload lamp lights you must stop welding and wait about 15
minutes, you can continue.
