GENERAL DESCRIPTION 

This unit is a limited duty power source for manual arc welding. The power for the arc comes from an 

electronic circuit know as an inverter. The welding current output can be adjusted by means of a control 

knob on the front panel.  

 
It is suitable for welding up to 9mm in mild steel using 4 mm welding rods. It is not suitable for larger 

welding rods nor use with generators.  

 

Caution! 

Using this product with welding rods greater than 4 mm or with a generator will void 

your warranty. 

 

Each unit is fitted with a thermal protector which switches off the welder if the transformer 

overheats 

and self-resets when its temperature has cooled to a normal level.  

 

A yellow pilot lamp in the front panel will light to indicate thermal protection intervention.
