is used to secure the electrode. The welding screen
(8) must be used at all times for welding. It protects
your eyes from the radiation emitted by the arc and
nevertheless enables you to watch the welding process.
8. Welding (Fig. 1)
After you have made all the electrical connections for
the power supply and for the welding circuit, you can
proceed as follows:
Insert the unsheathed end of the electrode into the
electrode holder (1) and connect the earth terminal (-) (2)
to the part you wish to weld. Ensure that a good electric
contact is made. Switch on the welding set at the
ON/OFF switch (4) and set the welding current using the
adjustment wheel (3) to suit the electrode you wish to
use. Hold the welding screen (8) in front of your face and
rub the tip of the electrode on the part you wish to weld
as if you were striking a match. This is the best method
of igniting the arc. Check that you have the correct
electrode and current strength on a test part.

Important!
Do not dab the workpiece with the electrode since it
could be damaged, making it more difficult to ignite the
arc.
As soon as the arc has ignited, keep it a distance
from the workpiece equivalent to the diameter of the
electrode.
This distance should be kept as constant as possible
during the welding process. The angle of the electrode
in the direction in which you are working should be
20–30°C.
Important!
Always use tongs to remove spent electrodes and to
move parts that you have just welded. Please note that
the electrode holder (Fig. 1/Item 1) must always be put
down so that it is insulated after you have completed the
welding work.
Do not remove the slag until the weld has cooled. If you
want to continue a weld after an interruption, the slag
from your initial attempt must first be removed.
9. Overheating guard
The welding set is fitted with an overheating guard that
protects the welding transformer from overheating. If the
overheating guard trips, the control lamp (Fig. 1/Item 5)
on your set will be lit. Allow the welding set to cool for
some time.
10. Maintenance
Remove dust and dirt from the machine at regular
intervals. Cleaning is best carried out with a fine brush
or a cloth.
