•  Do not modify or convert the equipment improperly! 

 

 

 

3.1

 

Applications 

3.1.1

 

TIG welding

 

TIG welding with alternating or direct current. Arc ignition optionally by means of non-contact HF ignition 
or contact ignition with Liftarc. 

3.1.2

 

MMA welding

 

Manual arc welding or, for short, MMA welding. It is characterised by the fact that the arc burns between 
a melting electrode and the molten pool. There is no external protection; any protection against the 
atmosphere comes from the electrode.
