PRINCIPLES OF THE MACHINE

MMA (Arc) 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 drop s 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.

MAIN DESIGN FEATURES

INVENTORY

The items supplied include the following:

• 1 x MMA Inverter Welder

• 1 x Torch Cable with Electrode Holder

• 1 x Earth Clamp & Cable

• 1 x Combination Wire Brush / Hammer

• 1 x Instruction Manual

ARC-FORCE

automatically increases the current to prevent the 
electrode sticking when operating with a short arc 
length.

HOT START

increases the welding current at the beginning of the 
welding process.

ANTI-STICK 

the electrode can be easily withdrawn without it 
becoming damaged.

VOLTAGE REDUCTION
