If the device is stored or transported in low temperatures, the device should be brought to the right
temperature before starting work !!!
The ends of the welding cables should be connected to the sockets (21) and (23) on the front panel, so
that the polarity of the electrode is on the electrode holder. The polarity of the welding cable
connection depends on the type of electrode used and is given on the electrode packaging. The clamp
of the return pipe should be securely attached to the welded material. Connect the device plug to the
115V/230V 60Hz mains socket. Switch on the device using the switch (25) on the back of the
welding machine.
6.2 Setting of welding parameters
The welding method switch (4) must be set to the MMA position. Turn the knob (11) to set the
desired welding current.
6.3 Arc initiation
Arc initiation during welding with the coated electrode consists in touching the electrode to the
welded material, short rubbing and detachment. In the case of arc initiation with electrodes, the
lagging of which forms a nonconductive slag after setting, it is necessary to pre-clean the top of the
electrode by repeated impact against a hard surface until metallic contact with the welded material.
