Note:
If the tensioning force of the electrode
holder
5
and the earth terminal
4
subsides,
replace immediately.
Connect the electric cables.
Set the ON / OFF switch
2
to the “ON“ posi-
tion. The current indicator will light up when
operation starts.
To end operation, set the ON / OFF switch
2
to the auf “OFF“ position.
Note:
The yellow indicator light
6
lighting
up indicates overheating. The electric circuit will
automatically be broken. Operation will end.
Attach the earth terminal
4
directly to the
work piece or to the pad on which the work
piece is placed.
Note:
Ensure direct contact to the work piece.
Thus avoid painted surfaces and / or insulation.
Note:
Always use the welding shield
7
whilst
welding. It protects the eyes from the light beam
emitted by the arc, yet allows for a clear view
of the work piece.
Welding
After making all the electrical connections for the
power supply and for the welding circuit, proceed
as follows:
Insert the uncoated end of the electrode into
the electrode holder
5
and connect the earth
terminal
4
to the work piece. Be sure the
electrical contact is good.
The device features a latch for setting the plate
thickness. Switch on the device by setting the
ON / OFF switch
2
to the “ON“ position. Then
use the hand wheel
3
to select the electrode
thickness: For 1.6 or 2.0 mm electrodes set the
hand wheel
3
to position 1.6 / 2.0. For 2 mm
electrodes set the hand wheel
3
to position 2.5.
Hold the welding shield
7
in front of your face
and guide the tip of the electrode over the work
piece as if trying to light a match. This is the best
method for sparking the arc.
Use a test piece to check if you selected the
correct electrode and current.
ATTENTION!
Do not dab the work piece with the electrode. It
could become damaged and make it more difficult to
spark the arc. Once the arc is sparked, try to main-
tain a distance to the work piece appropriate for the
selected electrode diameter. Keep the distance as
consistent as possible whilst welding. The electrode
grade in the work flow direction should be 20–30
degrees.
ATTENTION!
Always use forceps to dispose of used electrodes or
move hot work pieces. Please remember to always
place the electrode holder onto an insulating pad
after welding.
Only remove slag once the seam has cooled. If
continuing to weld on an interrupted weld seam,
first remove the slag at the start of weld.
ATTENTION!
Welding produces heat. The welding equipment
must therefore be operated in open loop after use
for at least half an hour. Or alternatively allow the
equipment to cool off for one hour. Only pack up
and store the equipment once the equipment tem-
perature has normalised.
Switch the equipment off by setting the ON /
OFF switch
2
to the “OFF“ position.
Overheat protection
The welding equipment features overheat protection.
If the overheat protection is triggered, the control
light
6
will light up. Allow the welding equipment
to cool down for a while.
PESG 120 B2 (with AC 230 V 50 Hz power plug):
The supply line fuses to the mains sockets must meet
the requirements (VDE 0100). Earthed wall sockets
must be protected with max. 16 A (model and tech-
nical data: NDM1-63, AC 230 / 400 V C16.
IEC 60898.time lag. Manufacturer: Nader) (fuses
or line circuit breaker). Higher fuse ratings can result
in burnt wires or fire damage to the building.
