MMA welding
Connect the welding cable and the earthing cable to the socket (9, 10) with the appropriate polarity
according to the electrode manufacturer's recommendation.
Pay attention to positive and negative attachment. Different types of electrodes require different
polarities, see electrode manufacturer's instructions.
Rutile electrode
(A: Electrode holder, B: Workpiece)
Basic electrode
(A: Electrode holder, B: Workpiece)
* In MMA mode, connect the cables in the same way as in the case of "Rutile electrode ".
Polarity:
The polarity depends on the information provided by the electrode manufacturer on the electrode packaging.
Electrode NEGATIVE / workpiece POSITIVE - low-alloy rutile electrode types. (These are the most commonly
used)
Electrode POSITIVE / workpiece NEGATIVE - basic and high-alloy electrode types.
Connect the power cord to the appropriate voltage and power source and ensure the cord is secure.
The device can now be switched on by operating the on/off switch on the back and thereby putting it into
operation.
Electrode Welding
Electrode welding or MMA welding is one of the oldest welding processes that uses stick electrodes that protect
the melt from chemical reactions with the ambient air. In this process, an arc burns between an electrode and the
workpiece, melting the electrode into a filler material.
Electrode Diameter
Depending on the electrode diameter, you determine the desired current range in which you will be welding. You
set the amperage on the front of the device with the welding control button, which you can also read on the digital
display. To know which area to select, refer to the information in the table below.
