INTRODUCTION
This device is a generator inverter current (DC) suitable to the MMA welding. Thanks to the inverter technology which allows achieving
high performances while keeping small size and weight, the welder is portable and easy to handle. The device is suitable for welding
with coated electrodes rutile and can be connected to power generators with power equal to or higher than that reported in Table 3. It is
equipped with "HOT START", "ARC FORCE" and "ANTI STICK
” functions (for more details please refer to the GENERAL PART
manual included in the package).

INSTALLATION
The installation must be made by trained personnel in compliance to the standard IEC 60974-9 and the current and local legislation. To
lift the machine it must be used the handle positioned on the top of the product with the machine in OFF position.
The input voltage must match the voltage indicated on the technical plate located on the product.
Use the machine on electric system having supply features and power protection that are compatible with the current required for its
use. For more details see the information on the plate placed on the machine.
HOW USE IT
Warning: Use all precautions required in the safety general manual before operating the welder, reading carefully the risks linked to the
welding process.
Connect the plugs of the earth clamp and the electrode holder to the connectors of the machine (Fig 1, C and D) rotating the
attack in order to ensure a good grip. Choose the polarity (forward or reverse) depending on the coating of the electrodes (for more
information see the information on the electrodes packaging).
Connect the earth clamp to the work piece to be welded trying to establish a good point of contact between the metal and the
clamp, as close as possible to the area to be welded, insert the electrode into the electrode holder.
Insert the plug into the power outlet and turn on the welding machine by pressing the switch (Fig 1, E) to the ON position.
Select the welding current (FIG 1, A) as a function of the type of electrode selected (Tab. 1).
Start the welding operation using all the necessary protections for the security.
When welding is completed, turn off the machine and release the electrode from the electrode holder
THERMAL PROTECTION
If the machine is used for hard work cycle, the thermal protection device will protect the machine from over heating. The yellow LED ON
indicates that the thermal protection is on. It is possible to start welding again once the LED is off.
MAINTENANCE
The all maintenance services must be done from qualified personnel in compliance to the norm (IEC 60974-4).
La presenza del simbolo indica che la macchina non è munita di pfc .
Assicurarsi con l’installatore e in conformità con IEC 60974-9 che la saldatrice possa essere collegata alla rete pubblica a bassa tensione.
