operations.
1.3 Protections
IN CASE OF MALFUNCTIONS, REQUEST
ASSISTANCE FROM QUALIFIED PERSONNEL.
1.3.1 Block protection
In the event of a malfunction, a number with the
following meaning may appear on the display
G : 1 GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
52 = Start button pressed during start-up.
53 = start button pressed during thermostat reset.
1.1 Specifications
56 = Extended short-circuit between the welding
electrode and the material to be welded.
This equipment is a power source developed using
INVERTER technology, suitable for MIG/MAG and
OPEN-ARC welding.
Shut the machine off and turn it back on.
If different numbers appear on the display, contact
technical service.
1.2 Explanation of technical specifications
1.3.2 Mechanical protection (safety button)
When the movable side is opened, this activates
the safety button that prevents operation of the
welding machine. This protection, indicated when
the LED
A is lit, avoids hazardous situations when
the operator replaces the roller of the wire feeder
unit or the welding electrode.

2 INSTALLATION
Make sure that the supply voltage matches the
voltage indicated on the specification plate of the
welding machine.
Suitable for continuous electrode
(MIG/MAG) welding.
AMP Unconventional welding current.
Mounting a plug with an adequate capacity for the
supply cable, making sure that the yellow/green
conductor is connected to the earth pin.
The values represent the minimum and
maximum levels attainable in welding.
Uo Secondary open-circuit voltage (peak V)
The capacity of the overload cutout switch or fuses
installed in series with the power supply must be
equivalent to the absorbed current I
