4.0 Description of Controls

1) ON OFF Switch for switching on or off the mains 

supply to the machine. Note the output of the 

machine is permanently on unless the on/off switch is 

in the off position.

2) Fault light This indicates a fault or over temperature 

condition with the machine refer to the fault finding 

section for further information 

3) Power light This indicates mains power is applied 

to the machine and that the machine is currently 

switched on when the light is illuminated 

4) MMA/LIFT-ARC selector switch Used to select 

between MMA welding mode and Lift-arc TIG welding. 

5) Output power control for adjustment of the power 

out put of the machine in LIFT-TIG or MMA mode

6) Output power connection - (Negative) this is the 

50mm Dinse connection socket for the connection of 

the negative welding lead.

7) Output power connection  + (Positive) this is the 

50mm Dinse connection socket for the positive 

welding lead.

5.0 Installation

Read entire installation section before starting 

installation.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only qualified personnel should perform this 

installation.

• Only personnel that have read and understood the 

Operating Manual should install and operate this 

equipment.

• Machine must be grounded per any national, local 

or other applicable electrical regulations.

• The power switch is to be in the OFF position when 

installing work cable and electrode cable and when 

2.0 Product Description

 

This welding machine is manufactured 

using advanced inverter technology.   The input 

voltage is rectified to DC and then inverted to high 

frequency AC voltage. before being converted back 

to DC for the output .This allows the use of a much 

smaller transformer and so allowing weight saving and 

improved power efficiency.
