Product Familiarisation
• Never weld where flammable gases, liquids or dust are present
• Ensure that there is always a responsible person nearby to alert you to
any fire, or to call help in an emergency
• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic fields. This may
disturb the operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker
wearers should consult a doctor before using a welding machine
• Do not overload power supply. Check that your mains wiring is capable of
delivering the required current safely (see Specification)
Intended Use
Single-phase manual metal arc welder using electrode rods (sticks)
to create welds in ferrous metals. Requires a high-current 32A mains
connection.
Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your new tool. Familiarise yourself with all
its features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If
any parts are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before
attempting to use this tool
Before Use
WARNING:
Ensure the tool is disconnected from the power supply
and cool before attaching or changing any accessories, or making any
adjustments.
WARNING:
Always ensure that there is an appropriate fire extinguisher near
to the work area.
Assembling the mask
Assemble the mask as shown.
1. Use the mask clips (arrowed) to assemble the flat-packed Welding Mask
(13) into its normal shape
2. Fit the Mask Handle (21) using the Handle Nuts and Bolts (18 & 19).
The Mask Handle must be inside the Welding Mask body to protect the
operator’s hand from splatter
3. Assemble the Filter Frame (14) with Welding Glass (15) and Splatter
Shield (16) as shown. Ensure the Splatter Shield protects the Welding
Glass from weld splatter. If the Welding Glass is fitted as the external
layer it may get damaged by splatter and allow dangerous ultra violet
light to reach the operator’s eyes
4. Fit the glass assembly into the Welding Mask using the Frame Pins (20)
and Frame Clips (17)
Connecting to mains
Note:
This tool is earthed and must only be connected to mains with an
earth connection. Do not attempt to use it without an earth connection.
• This welder is not supplied with a mains electrical plug because at full
capacity it will draw far too much power for a normal domestic 230V
mains plug and socket. This welder must not be fitted with a standard
13A UK plug or 16A European plug.
• A high current 230V mains socket or terminal must be installed by a
qualified and accredited professional electrician. A 32A socket and plug
conforming to IEC 60309 is recommended
• A non-socketed mains connection also requires welder connection by
a qualified and accredited professional electrician. However, a socketed
connection is safer and more strongly recommended so the welder can
be safely isolated when necessary. If directly wired to mains, a double
pole, double throw isolator switch must be fitted
• The welder must be connected to a consumer unit with a built-in RCD,
using a circuit protected by an RCD
• Please refer to the Specification for details of the maximum current
required by this welder
• If in any doubt, do not attempt to connect or use this welder until a
professional electrician has been consulted
Welding rod selection
• In order to produce a good quality weld, the correct type of welding rod
must be used. Welding rods are available in a variety of thicknesses and
materials, and with a range of coatings
• Refer to the rod manufacturer’s guidelines to select the correct rod for
your requirements
