Overload protection
The welder 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
protection control lamp
8
illuminates.
Allow the device to cool down (approx.
15 minutes) for the activation of the
protection device. As soon as the yellow
overload protection control lamp
8
goes
out, the device is ready for operation
again.
The protection of the supply lines to the
mains sockets must comply with the reg-
ulations (VDE 0100). Shockproof sockets
must be protected to max. 16 A (fuses or
circuit breaker) The use of higher levels
of protection could result in a line fire or
structural fire damage.
Welding protection shield
HEALTH HAZARD!
If you do not use the welding protection
shield, harmful UV radiation and heat
emitted by the arc could damage your eyes.
Always use the welding protection shield for
welding work.

Welding
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
welder:
Connect the earthing cable to
4
the
workpiece that is to be welded using
the earth clamp. Please ensure good
electrical conductivity.
The area to be welded on the workpiece
must be free of rust and paint.
Select the material thickness using the
control dial

.
Switching the device on.
Hold the welding protection shield

in
front of your face and guide the burner
nozzle
9
to the position on the work-
piece that is to be welded.
Press the torch button
11
, in order to
generate an arc. Once the arc is burning,
the device feeds wire into the weld pool.
If the welding lens is big enough, the
torch
10
is slowly guided along the
desired edge. The distance between the
burner nozzle and workpiece should
be as small as possible (it must not be
greater than 10 mm).
If necessary, oscillate a little to increase
the size of the weld pool.
