1 - Power Indicator Lamp:
Indicates that the machine is active.
2 - Welding Current Adjusting Knob:
Adjusts machine's output current (welding ampere).
3 - Digital Ammeter:
Indicates machine's output current value.
4 - Positive (+) Connector:
Positive (+) output connection for welding current.
5 - Negative (-) Connector:
Negative (-) output connection for welding current.
6 - Hot-Start:
Temporarily increases the welding current before starting to welding operation. This feature
enables welding arc to ignite easily and smoothly. Hot-Start value can be adjusted from front panel
manually.
7 - Arc-Force:
Increases welding current temporarily during welding operation. This temporarily increase in
the welding current facilitates the transfer between welding electrode and melted welding puddle. Short
arc length prevents sticking by causing high arc force. Arc-Force value can be adjusted from front panel
manually.
8 - Overload / Overheating Warning Lamp:
This lamp lights on in case machine cannot provide output
current due to overheating of the machine. This occurs when ambient temperature is above and when
machine's run time ratio (operation efficiency) is exceeded. Let the machine cool down at on condition.
When the lamp turns off, machine is ready for usage.
9 - On/Off Switch:
Controls the input of supply current to the machine.
10 - Energy Input Cable:
Supply cable that will be used for machine's mains connection.
Stick Electrode Welding:
Before starting to welding operation, following procedures should be performed:
1 - First of all determine which pole is proper for the electrode being used. You can find this information in
the electrode information sheet. Then connect welding cables to the outlets as suitable for the chosen
pole. For example if DC (+) will be used, connect electrode cable to the (+) outlet (4) of the machine and
grounding clamp to the (-) outlet (5). After inserting connector to its socket as its guide pin will be at the
top, turn clockwise in 1/4 tour.
