The FURIUS FIX 201 V03 is an inverter welding machine designed for manual metal arc welding (MMA/SMAW) and TIG scratch welding processes. It operates on a single-phase power supply of 110V/220V at 50/60Hz.

Function Description:

The FURIUS FIX 201 V03 is a versatile welding power source capable of delivering continuous welding current for various applications. It features a DC current output, making it suitable for 6013 and 7018 1/8” electrodes. The machine incorporates ARC FORCE, HOT START, and MMA functionalities to enhance welding performance and ease of use. For TIG welding, it supports the scratch TIG ignition method. A digital display provides clear readings of the adjusted current value.

Usage Features:

MMA/SMAW Welding:
- Connect the work clamp (ground) to the workpiece and the electrode cable to the positive (+) socket.
- Ensure good electrical connection by removing rust, paint, or contamination from the workpiece.
- Insert the electrode into the electrode holder.
- To start the arc, scratch the electrode over the welding spot. The 65V no-load voltage ensures quick ignition, and DC current allows for even melting.
- ANTI STICK (Bonded Electrode) Feature: If the electrode sticks, the machine automatically reduces the welding current, allowing the user to free the electrode by moving it back and forth.
TIG Process:
- Connect the torch to the negative (-) socket and the work clamp (ground) to the positive (+) socket.
- Requires Argon gas from a cylinder with a flow regulator. The torch should be connected directly to the regulator, as the equipment does not have a solenoid valve for gas flow control. A torch with a knob is recommended for gas flow regulation and interruption.
- Recommended gas flow: 10 to 20 l/m or 21 to 40 CFH.
- Scratch TIG Ignition: To start the arc, scratch the tungsten against the workpiece. Then, separate the tungsten from 2 to 4 mm to maintain the arc.
Digital Display: Shows the adjusted current value.
Current Adjustment Knob: Used to set the desired welding current.
Duty Cycle: The machine can deliver its maximum output continuously for 4 minutes within a 10-minute period at 40°C. After this, a thermal control device activates, requiring a 6-minute rest period (machine should remain on to cool). The duty cycle increases as the output current or ambient temperature decreases.
Power Switch: Turns the equipment on and off with an audible click.
Transport Strap: For easy and safe transportation.
Environmental Conditions:
- Operating ambient temperature: -10 °C to +40 °C.
- Transport and storage temperature: -20 °C to +55 °C.
- Relative humidity: Up to 50% at 40 °C and up to 90% at 20 °C.
- Designed for operating environments with normal levels of dust, acid, and corrosive gases, provided there is adequate ventilation.
- Equipment must be positioned less than 10° from the horizontal to prevent damage from overturning.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the welder with a soft cloth after each use. Keep vents free of dust and dirt. Use a damp cloth with water and a little soap for stubborn dirt. Avoid petroleum-derived solvents or alcohol.
Compressed Air Cleaning: Clean dust at regular intervals with clean, dry compressed air. For heavy smoke/contamination, clean monthly. Reduce air pressure to avoid damaging small parts.
Insulation Check: Keep the machine dry and check insulation with a multimeter (including between AC connections, housing, and AC connections) to prevent problems from water or rain.
Thermal Protection: The machine has a thermal control device that activates when the maximum duty cycle is reached or due to internal overheating. Do not turn off the welder immediately; allow the fans to cool the power components until the protection deactivates.
Troubleshooting: Before servicing, check:
- Welding current setting (correct for electrode diameter/type).
- Power indicator LED (on when main switch is on).
- Yellow LED (off, indicating no thermal protection or voltage issues).
- Adherence to duty cycle.
- Mains voltage (must be between 95V ~ AC and 265V ~ AC for automatic restart).
- No short circuit at machine output.
- Correct welding circuit connections, especially the work clamp.
Professional Repair: Only qualified personnel from UJUETA MÉXICO, S.A. DE C.V. should repair the welder using original spare parts. Unauthorized opening or internal manipulation voids the warranty and poses serious risks.
Grounding: Connecting the ground wire to a phase automatically voids the warranty.

Safety Precautions (Summarized):

Always wear adequate protection (face shield, insulated gloves, appropriate clothing, boots).
Avoid electric shock by not touching electrically active parts with bare hands, not using the machine in rain/snow, and ensuring proper grounding.
Be aware of fire/explosion risks from sparks and molten metal; remove flammable substances from the work area.
Avoid breathing welding fumes; ensure adequate ventilation and use the machine in open areas.
Protect eyes and skin from welding arc radiation.
Workers with medical implants (e.g., pacemakers) should not use the product due to electromagnetic fields.
Keep the workplace clean and tidy.
Do not operate when tired or under the influence of substances.
Ensure proper ventilation for the machine (minimum 10 cm from walls).
Do not weld bicycle frames, vehicle steering parts, or trailer tow bars.
Turn off power before maintenance.
Do not move the gas cylinder with the regulator valve in place; secure it upright.
Close gas cylinder and regulator valves after use.
Avoid working in hazardous conditions (wet locations, metal structures, difficult positions, flammable materials, welding at height) without additional safety measures.
Do not use the machine for purposes other than welding.
Do not insert objects into moving parts like fans.
Do not exceed 280V ~ AC mains voltage to prevent machine damage.
