FEATURES OF THE ARC/TIG 135 WELDER
The ARC/TIG 135 welder has been designed to work with
unstable input voltages. The use of power components
and of electrolytic capacitors with higher voltage and a
special control circuit grant a high welding current stability
in spite of the mains voltage fluctuations. The machine
allows coated electrode (MMA) welding by scratch
starting the tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. The
technology used to manufacture the generator, combined
to both MMA and TIG functions, make it easy to use from
scratch.
The generator is composed of a control and printed circuit
(p.c.) board, a switching transformer, and a levelling
inductance. The pc board includes different electronic
functions in order to improve the arc striking and the
dynamics of the welding to achieve an optimum weld with any type of electrode with simplicity of
performance.
An IGBT bridge guarantees a fast speed of response and greater precision, together with a
drastic reduction in magnetic components and a consequent reduction in generator weight. The
unit is easy to carry using the carrying strap and the low electrcity consumption make it ideal for
all types of welding applications.
ASSEMBLING THE FACE SHIELD
1. Push the two halves of the
shield together as shown.
2. Place the handle into
position and secure using
the plastic screw and clip
provided
3. Working from the inside of
the shield, insert the clear
glass panel into the recess
in the shield, followed
by the dark glass panel.
4. Secure the glass panels
with the lens surround and
plastic screws/clips
provided. The clear glass MUST be on the outside of the shield.
5. Finally use the last plastic screw and clip as shown to fix the two halves of the
shield together.
WARNING:
NEVER look at an electric arc without eye protection as this can injure the
eyes permanently. ALWAYS use a protection mask or welding helmet.
