3. Operation

Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and protective 
clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the area.

MMA

After connecting the welding leads as detailed you will need to switch the power switch on the back 
panel to ‘ON’. Select MMA by switching to the MMA welding mode. There is voltage output at both  
output terminals. Set the amperage on the machine suitable for the electrode being used. Ensure you 
check that you have the electrode polarity correct. Please see below a guide to amperages required.

MIG/MAG

1) After installing the machine, and the power switch on the back panel is switched on, the machine is 
ready to use. The ammeter displays the pre-set wire feed speed value, and the voltmeter displays the 
pre-set voltage value. Open the cylinder valve, and switch the gas check switch to the “GAS CHECK” 
position. Adjust the gas regulator to get the correct gas flow. After setting, switch the gas check switch 
to the “Welding” position.

2) Get the correct arc conditions by adjusting the inductance control knob. Turn the knob anticlockwise 
to get lower inductance and harder arc; turn it clockwise to get higher inductance and softer arc. Gener-
ally, select harder arc at lower current, while select softer arc at higher currents.

3) Select the correct welding current and welding voltage by adjusting the current control knob and 
voltage control knob on the wire feeder.

4) Select 2T or 4T operation mode. In 2T mode, arc is ignited by pushing the torch trigger, and arc stops 
by releasing the torch trigger. In 4T mode, welding can be continued when releasing the torch trigger 
after arc is ignited, and at this time, welding instructions should be set by adjusting the current control 
knob and voltage control knob on the wire feeder. When pushing the torch trigger again, the machine 
enters into crater welding, and at this time. Crate parameters should be set by adjusting the crater/weld-
ing current control knob and crater voltage control knob on the front panel of the machine.

The actual current and voltage values are displayed on the front panel of the machine. When the torch 
trigger is released, welding ends. 2 seconds after welding ends, the gas supply will be cut off.
