Usage Features:
The machine is equipped with a current knob for adjusting welding current, arc-force current, and hot start arc igniting current. It features a digital display for current values, arc-force settings, and hot start settings. The display also shows error codes like E60 for overheat protection and E13 for over-current protection.
The welding mode can be switched between MMA, MMA synergic, and Lift TIG. In MMA synergic mode, the electrode diameter can be selected, and the hot start and arc-force currents are automatically set.
Installation involves connecting the primary power supply cable to the correct voltage class, ensuring tight connections, and checking input voltage. The electrode holder and ground clamp are connected to the front panel sockets. The manual provides a strap installation guide for portability.
The machine supports DCRP (Direct Current Reverse Polarity) connection, recommended for basic electrodes, and DCSP (Direct Current Straight Polarity) connection for specific applications.
Safety tips emphasize operating the equipment by trained professionals, using proper protective gear (welding mask, protective clothing), ensuring good ventilation to avoid smoke inhalation, and taking precautions against electric shock, fire, and explosion. It is crucial to install a grounding device and avoid touching live parts with bare skin or wet clothing. The machine should not be used for pipe thawing or welding closed containers.
Maintenance Features:
Regular maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the welding machine.
- Periodic Checks: Check inner circuit connections, connectors, and plugs for looseness or oxidization. Tighten loose connections and remove oxidization with sandpaper.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean dust with dry and clean compressed air. In environments with heavy smoke or pollution, daily cleaning is recommended. The compressed air pressure should be appropriate to avoid damaging small internal parts.
- Moisture Protection: Avoid water and vapor infiltration. If moisture occurs, dry the machine and use a tramegger to check insulation before reuse.
- Cable Inspection: Periodically check the insulation cover of all cables for good condition. Rewrap or replace any dilapidated insulation.
- Storage: If the machine is not to be used for a long time, store it in its original packing in a dry location.
- Professional Service: For over-current protection (E13 error), contact a dealer for professional assistance as internal components may be damaged.
- Troubleshooting: The manual provides a troubleshooting guide for common malfunctions, such as the power indicator being off, unstable output current, or the machine being under protection status. Solutions include checking power switches, replacing potentiometers, checking connections, and allowing the machine to cool down if overheated. Incorrect output polarity connection can cause excessive spatter in MMA welding, which can be resolved by exchanging the polarity.
The manual also includes symbol explanations for warnings, important notices, and environmental protection (prohibiting disposal of electrical waste with common wastes).
