SETTING UP & WELDING
SETTING UP & WELDING
Set up the control unit at the place of work, en-
suring that the mains switch is in the OFF posi-
tion. Ensure that this is done in line with the
notes and safety recommendations on pages 7
through 9 of this manual.
Plug the controller into the correct mains AC
supply. The controller is rated for either 230V or
115V, check the rating plate and ensure that the
controller is plugged into the correct supply be-
fore turning the power on.
Connect the welding earth cables to the
controller socket marked
+
-
Note that the cable end plug has a peg
which mates with a key slot in the panel
mounted socket.
IMPORTANT !
Secure the connectors with a
clockwise turn until they lock. Failure to do this
will result in damage to the connectors during
welding.
Attach the welding earth clamps to the work
piece at approximately 180° to each other. This
will help to prevent "Arc blow" when weld-
ing takes place. Prior to fitting the clamps,
ensure that the contact area of the work
piece is free from rust, paint, grease etc.
As this will result in a poor welding con-
nection and poor results
.
