Welding current adjustment

For MMA welding

Connect the electrode holder to the positive 
(+) output terminal 

6

 and the work return 

lead should be connected to the negative (-) 
output terminal 

5

The welding current can be adjusted with the 
welding current adjustment knob

.

The machine will stop working if the temperature 
reaches a certain level. (Exceeds the unit's duty 
cycle).  The overtemperature control indicator 
light 

1

 will illuminate.

NOTE: 
When changing the MMA electrode holder the machine should be 
switched off using the power switch on the machine. In addition, 
the main supply must be turned off and the plug removed from 
the outlet socket.

5.1  Operating Machine

 

Select the current as per the 
recommendations of the consumable 
manufacturer.

 

Select the polarity of the electrode cable as 
per the recommendations (+/-)

5.2 Earthing

For the welding process to be most effective 
it is important to ensure that there is a solid 
connection between the work return clamp and 
the workpiece. 
Always ensure that the return clamp is as close as 
practically possible to the area to be welded.
Ensure that the workpiece is clean and free from 
rust, scale paint or oil and grease before affi xing 
the work return clamp.
