6.1 Welding with coated electrodes
The Caddy supplies DC current, which allows you to weld most types of alloyed and
unalloyed steels, stainless steels and cast iron.
With the Caddy 140 you can use the majority of coated electrodes from
∅
1.6 to
∅
3.25, while the Caddy 200 will take electrodes up to
∅
4.0.
6.2 TIG welding
TIG welding is particularly useful when high quality standards are required and when
welding thin sheet. Caddy also has very good TIG welding characteristics.
The best method to use is the touch start, where you gently stroke the tungsten elec-
trode against the workpiece to establish the arc. Before using the Caddy for TIG
welding it must be equipped with a TIG torch and gas valve, a cylinder of argon, an
argon regulator, tungsten electrodes and, if necessary, suitable filter metal.
7 MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
Note!
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself
attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any
faults.
Caddy requires a minimum of maintenance. Normally it is sufficient to blow the unit
clean with dry compressed air once a year, and clean the filter in the front regularly. If
the unit is used in a dirty or dusty environment it should be cleande more often. The
filter is released by inserting, e.g. a screwdriver, in the grille’s slots and prising it gen-
tly upwards.
