Unpacking

Check the packaging for any signs of damage.

Carefully remove the machine and retain the packaging until 
the installation is complete.

Location

The  machine  should  be  located  in  a  suitable  position  and 
environment. Care should be taken to avoid moisture, dust, 
steam, oil or corrosive gases

Place  on  a  secure  level  surface  and  ensure  that  there  is 
adequate  clearance  around  the  machine  to  ensure  natural 
airflow.

Input connection

Before  connecting  the  machine  you  should  ensure  that  the 
correct  supply  is  available.  Details  of  the  machine 
requirements can be found on the data plate of the machine 
or in the technical parameters shown in the manual.

The equipment should be connected by a suitably qualified 
competent  person.  Always  ensure  the  equipment  has  a 
proper grounding.

Never  connect  the  machine  to  the  mains  supply  with  the 
panels removed.

Output connections 

Electrode polarity

In  general  when  using  manual  arc  welding  electrodes  the 
electrode  holder  is  connected  the  the  positive  terminal  and 
the work return to the negative terminal. Always consult the 
electrode manufacturer’s data sheet if you have any doubts.

When  using  the  machine  for  TIG  welding  the  TIG  torch 
should be connected to the negative terminal and the work 
return to the positive terminal

MMA welding

Insert  the  cable  plug  with  electrode  holder  into  the  “+” 
socket  on  the  front  panel  of  the  welding  machine,  and 
tighten it clockwise.

Insert  the  cable  plug  of  the  work  return  lead  into  the  “-” 
socket  on  the  front  panel  of  the  welding  machine,  and 
tighten it clockwise

TIG Welding

Insert the cable plug with the work clamp into the “+” socket 
on  the  front  panel  of  the  welding  machine,  and  tighten  it 
clockwise.

Insert the cables plug of the TIG torch into the “-” socket on 
the front panel of the machine and tighten clockwise.

Connect the TIG torch control switch into the socket on the 
machine front panel.

Connect the gas hose to the regulator / flowmeter located on 
the  shield  gas  cylinder  and  connect  the  other  end  to  the 
machine.
