Installation and Operator Instructions
Read this entire section before installation or operation of the machine.
Location and Environment:
However, it is important that simple preventative measures are followed to assure long life and
reliable operation.
1 - Do not put or operate the machine on a surface that is inclined above 15°.
2 - The machine must be operated in an environment with fresh air flow and there musn't be any
factor that blocks or stops the ventilation or fresh air flow. The machine shouldn't be covered
with paper or similar things while operating.
3 - Dust and dirt may get into the machine. This condition should be minimized. Do not work in
environments that contain dense dust, grinding dust, corrosive gases and in atmospheres with
water, paint or oil particles.
4 - This machine is IP21S protection class. Keep it dry when possible and do not place it on wet
ground or in puddles.
5 - This machine is designed for indoor use. Never operate the welding machine under sunlight
and when there is a possibility of water splattering.
6 - Put the machine away from radio controlled devices. Normal operation may adversely affect
the operation of this type of devices, which may result in injury or equipment damage. Read the
electromagnetic accordance section in this manual.
7 - Do not operate this machine in ambient temperatures of less than -10°C and over +40°C and
80% humidity.
8 - If people who are unqualified about electrical equipments, opens the work cover and interfere
with the machine, they may face life threatining conditions. People who behave otherwise is
considered to accept the negative results.
9 - This welding machine is designed for light welding processes performed by using 2.50
and 3.20 mm diameter rutile and basic type stick electrodes.
Duty Cycle and Overheating:
The efficiency of the machine is the percentage of the rating of the welder performing welding
process without overheating and stopping for 10 minutes with the welding current given.
Machine is protected from overheating by its thermal protection. When this protection is enabled
the warning light on the front panel illuminates. When you return to the safe operating temperature
the light turns off and you may continue welding.
