Using the device
z
Switching the device on
and off
Switch the welding device on and off
on the main
12
switch. If you do not
intend to use the welding device for an
extended period, remove the plug from
the power socket. This is the only way to
completely de-energise the device.

Select welding with
flux-cored wire
Set “MIG/MAG” mode by pressing the
welding mode selector switch

.
z
Setting the welding
current
The control dial for adjusting the
welding current
4
on the front of the
welding device can be used to set the
desired welding current.
The necessary welding current depends
on the welding wire diameter used,
the material thickness and the desired
penetration depth.
z
Setting the wire feed
In order to generate a constant arc,
the control dial for the wire feed
3
can be
used to fine-tune the wire feed.
You are recommended to use a setting
in the middle range to start with, and
then reduce or increase the speed as
required. The necessary welding current
depends on the welding wire diameter
used, the material thickness and the
desired penetration depth. Similarly, the
gaps to be bridged between the work-
pieces to be welded must be observed.
Guideline values for wire feed and
welding current and for common flux-
cored wires can be taken from the table
on the inside of the cover for the wire
feed unit

Welding
Overload protection
The welding device is protected against
overheating by means of an automatic
protection device (thermostat with
automatic restart). The protective device
interrupts the overload of the current
circuit and the yellow overload protec-
tion control lamp
11
illuminates.
Allow the device to cool down
for the activation of the protection
device. After approx. 15 minutes,
the device is ready to be used
again.
Welding mask
HEALTH HAZARD!
If you do not use the welding mask,
harmful UV radiation and heat emitted
by the electric arc could damage your
eyes. Always use the welding mask for
welding work.
RISK OF BURNS!
Welded workpieces are very hot and
can cause burns. Always use pliers to
move hot, welded workpieces.
Please proceed as follows once
you have electrically connected
the welding device:
Connect the earth cable to
6
the
workpiece that is to be welded using
the earth terminal. Please ensure
good electrical conductivity.
