OPERATION - MMA
Before starng any welding acvity ensure that you have suitable eye protecon and
protecve clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding
area.
MMA operaon steps
MMA welding current
Select the welding current seng funcon by pressing
the MMA welding parameter selecng key and welding
current in MMA can be set. The current parameter range
is 20~210 amps and is adjusted via the adjustment knob
and the pre-set amperage is indicated on the front panel
digital display.
The Welding current seng can be carried out during welding.
MMA hot start
Select the hot start seng funcon by pressing the
welding parameter selecon key unl the hot start LED
Illuminates. The hot start parameter range is 0~60amps
and is adjusted via the adjustment knob and the
and the hot start addional amperage is indicated on the
front panel digital display.
The Hot start amperage seng can be carried out during welding.
MMA arc force
Select the arc force seng funcon by pressing the
welding parameter selecon key unl the arc force LED
Illuminates. The arc force parameter range is 0~60amps
and is adjusted via the adjustment knob and the
and the arc force addional amperage is indicated on the
front panel digital display.
The arc force amperage seng can be carried out during welding.
If the secondary cables (welding cable and earth cable) are long, select cable with larger cross-secon to
reduce the voltage drop.
Please ensure to check that you have the electrode polarity correct to your chosen electrode and that you
set the pre-set output amperage correctly for the electrode being used.
MMA welding electrodes vary
depending on material, work piece
thickness, welding posion and
joint form.
Pre-set the welding current
according to the type and size of
the electrode, clip the electrode
and then welding can be carried
out by short circuit arc ignion.
For welding parameters, please
refer to the opposite table.
