1.2 

MACHINE PROPERTIES

The Minarc 220 is intended for use in a three-phase electric network. It is 

designed to be a compact and efficient direct current MMA/TIG machine. 

Extremely light in weight for its high 220 A output power, the machine is easy 

to carry to the work place with either the inbuilt moulded carry handle or the 

shoulder strap provided. 

1.3 

ABOUT WELDING

Minarc 220 provides high quality welding results time after time provided 

the correct operational procedures are followed. Welding quality is not only 

influenced by the machine itself. Personal expertise, ancilliary equipment and 

consumables also play an essential role, as does the correct, fused supply power.
Welding is carried out when an electric arc is established between the 

welding electrode and work piece. Welding is not possible unless the 

equipment is correctly set-up, including the earthing cable attached to the 

work piece. This cable creates the welding circuit that allows the welding 

current to flow. Please check the earthing clamp is on the work piece to be 

welded, and that the area of the clamps contact is clean and free from paint.
