PRINCIPLES OF THE MACHINE
Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding uses a coated consumable electrode
(stick) to lay the weld, therefore an additional welding torch kit is not required.
The arc melts the core of the electrode to produce drops of molten metal
(weld pool) that cool to create the welded joint. Because of the versatility and
simplicity of MMA welding, it requires less skill and is used primarily to weld iron
and steel (including stainless steel. but nickel and copper can also be welded
using this method.
This machine is designed to be used for both metal ARC (MMA) and TIG
welding. (TIG welding leads are not supplied with the machine. These are
however, readily available from your CLARKE dealer (Part number 6012233).
