WELDING TIPS
•
Try to maintain the tip of the nozzle at an angle of approx. 45
O
and at a constant distance
of approx 5-7mm from the workpiece.
•
Try to maintain a constant speed of movement with the torch.
•
Do not weld in windy conditions or in an area where ventilation is a problem, or where air
flow fluctuates.
•
ALWAYS keep the wire and nozzle clean...NEVER use rusted wire.
•
Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the welding hose.
•
Whenever possible, clean out the wire liner with compressed air when replacing the wire
spool.
•
Periodically remove the dust, using LOW PRESSURE compressed air, within the casing.
Adequate heat dissipation is essential during the welders operation.
DUTY CYCLE
These models are covered by regulations EN 60974-1 and EN 50199, where the Duty Cycle
(X) is expressed as a percentage of time the machine may be used in a given period for a
specified welding current.
i.e. using the example below, which is an illustration of the 270TE data plate.....
When welding at 170 Amps the machine may be used for 6 minutes (60%) in any 10 minute
period..........
............or, the machine may be used continuously, (100%) when welding at 135 Amps
