ENGLISH
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The models are single phase portables AC arc welders 230V 50 Hz. Their compact and robust formats make them versatile and efficient for a
variety of uses. Its compliance to current regulations and the optimum quality of materials used, will ensure a long working life in complete
safety.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PANEL
A) ON “I” – OFF “0” – ON “II”
Switch.
B) LED thermal protection
C) Supply cable
D) Earth clamp
E) Electrode Holder
INSTALLATION
Unpack the welding machine, assemble the separate parts contained in the package.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HANDLES AND WHEELS ASSEMBLING
HANDLE
The screws are already screwed on the body, therefore:
1) Unscrew the parker screws and place the handle in order to make the holes correspond.
2) Screws the screws again tightening strongly.
EXTENDED HANDLE
1) Insert the handle in the proper space of the handle pushing to the bottom.
2) Screw with the proper screw the tube to the plastic handle.
FRONT SUPPORT
The screws are already screwed on the bottom of the body, therefore:
1) Unscrew the parker screws and place the front plate support in order to make the holes correspond (in some cases unscrew preset screws
and fit the two casters on prepared seats).
2) Screws the screws again tightening strongly.
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The welder is fitted with a thermal overload cut-out which operates automatically to stop the transformer overheating. The machine will
become operational again automatically once the temperature has reduced itself to an acceptable working level.
To switch on the welding machine operate the main switch.
JUST FOR THE MODELS EQUIPED WITH
The intensity of the supplied welding current can be adjusted by means of a manually operated switches or using the hand wheel. The welding
current must be regulated according to the diameter of the electrode in use and the type of joint to be carried out: see below the currents
corresponding to various electrode diameters.
WELDING HINTS
The welding surface should be free of rust or paint. Choose the electrode in accordance with the material being welded. It is adviseable to
initially test electrode and amperage on some scrap material. Place the electrode at a distance of 2 cm. from the workpiece and place the face
shield in position to protect the eyes. Strike the arc by bringing the electrode into contact with the workpiece with a light tapping and scrapping
action. Through the face shield you will see the arc which should be in length one to one and half the diameter of the electrode. It is important
to maintain a constant length of the arc. As the electrode melts and its length decreases, a gradual downward movement is needed to
maintain the correct distance and the arc itself. To stop welding simply withdraw the electrode away from the workpiece. It is adviseable to lift
into the weld seam to avoid a porous crater. Be careful - the metal and electrode tip will be hot. Remove the surface slag when cooled by
lightly tapping with a pointed tool. Welding may be resumed from the same spot having first ensured the removal of the slag.
This welding machine is for professional use only and is reserved for the industry.
