Internal
Thermal
Protection
If you exceed the welding machine duty cycle, the thermal protection
system will engage, shutting
off all welding current output
After cooling, the thermal protector will automatically
reset, and the welding functions can resume
The user needs to know it is the
expected behavior of this machine. However, it would be best if you waited at least ten minutes after the thermal protector engages
before resuming welding
You must do this even if the thermal protector
resets itself before the ten minutes is up, or you may
experience less than specified duty cycle performance
CAUTION:
DO NOT
REGULARLY
EXCEED
THE
DUTY
CYCLE
OR DAMAGE
TO THE WELDER
CAN RESULT.
Welding
Preparation
The key to making a good weld is preparation.
It includes studying the process and equipment
and practicing
welding before
attempting to weld the finished product. An organized,
safe, ergonomic, comfortable,
and well-lit work area should be prepared for
the operator
The work area should be free of all flammables,
with a fire extinguisher
and a bucket of sand available to smother
potential possible fires.
To properly prepare for welding with your new welder, it is necessary to:
• Read the safety precautions
at the front Of this manual
• Prepare an organized, well-lit work area
• Protect the eyes and skin of the operator and bystanders
• Attach the work clamp to the bare metal to be welded, ensuring good contact.
• When MIG/MAG/Gasless
Welding,
ensure that the wire-roller
groove in the roller corresponds
to the diameter and type Of wire
used
• Plug the machine into a suitable power outlet, and recommend
NEMA6-50
• Completely open the gas cylinder valve. Adjust the gas pressure regulator to the correct flow rate. (Not applicable to Stick welding
/ SMAW)
