6. Installation & Adjustment
Note: Please follow steps in strictly accordance with installation!
Turn Off power at Mains power point!
The equipment protection level is IP21s. Do not use it in the rain!
6.1 Installation
(1) Connect machine to 15 amp 240v power outlet.
(2) Ensure Power Point is in good condition.
(3) With a multi meter measure the input voltage is within the fluctuation range.
(4) Ensure Ground Cable is fitted securely to the front panel.
(5) Ensure Electrode lead is fitted securely to front panel.
(6) Ensure Earth is well attached and grounded to the job.
Above (4) and (5) for the DC reverse method. Operator also on the base metal and
welding rod to choose DCSP method. In general, the basic electrode reverse method
is recommended (ie, connected to the positive electrode).
6.2 Operation
(1) To operate the machine, turn the power switch, so that the power switch is in the
“ON” position, then the power indicator light & fan comes on, the device is ready to
use.
(2) Please note, choose correct polarity selection based on the electrodes to be used.
(3) Ensure Welding leads are kept in good condition, damaged leads or earth clamp
can affect weld performance.
