otherwise the connectors themselves will overheat, resulting in
their rapid deterioration and loss of efficiency.

Do not use metal structures which are not part of the workpiece to
substitute the return cable of the welding current: this could
jeopardise safety and result in poor welding.

Control, regulation and connection devices
6. WELDING: DESCRIPTION OF THE PROCEDURE
Fig. B
These welding machines are direct current power sources, suitable for
arc welding using electrodes with a range of coatings (rutile, acid,
basic).
5. INSTALLATION
________________________________________________________________________________
To switch on the welding machine turn the main switch
(FIG. B (3)).
The output welding current intensity can be adjusted continuously,
using a manually operated magnetic shunt
(FIG. B (1)).
