The Parkside PESG 120 B3 is an electric arc welder designed for manual metal arc welding with covered rod electrodes, suitable for household use. It comes with a welding shield, welding cables, a combination wire brush with chipping hammer, and an instruction manual.

Function Description:

The device is primarily used for manual metal arc welding. It features a handle for portability, an ON/OFF switch for operation, and a hand wheel for adjusting the electrode thickness. A control lamp indicates overheating, and the device is equipped with overheat protection that automatically interrupts the circuit if triggered. The welding shield, which is assembled by attaching a handle and protective glass, is crucial for eye protection during welding.

Important Technical Specifications:

Mains connection: 230V~ 50Hz
Max. welding current and conventional load voltage: 75A / 21V–100A / 22V
Rated value of the mains current (U1): 230V
Highest rated value of the mains current (I1max): 22.5A
Maximum effective input current (I1eff): 7A
Rated value of the no-load voltage (U0): 48V
Protection type: IP21S
Electrode thickness settings: 1.6/2.0 mm and 2.5 mm, adjustable via the hand wheel.
Fuse rating: The supply line fuses to the mains sockets must meet VDE 0100 requirements, with earthed wall sockets protected with max. 16 A (NDM1-63, AC 230/400V C16. IEC 60898. time lag. Manufacturer: Nader) fuses or line circuit breakers. Higher fuse ratings can result in burnt wires or fire damage.
EMC Classification: Class A per IEC 60974-10. Class A equipment is intended for industrial use; electromagnetic tolerance may not be warranted, or failures may occur in other areas.

Usage Features:

Preparation: Before welding, ensure the work area is well-ventilated and free from flammable substances. Connect the welding cables, set the ON/OFF switch to "ON," and select the appropriate electrode thickness using the hand wheel. The earth terminal should be connected directly to the workpiece or its support, ensuring good electrical contact and avoiding painted or insulated surfaces.
Welding Process: Insert the uncoated end of the electrode into the electrode holder. Hold the welding shield in front of your face and guide the electrode tip over the workpiece as if lighting a match to strike the arc. Maintain a consistent distance from the workpiece, corresponding to the electrode diameter, and an electrode angle of 20–30 degrees in the direction of work.
Safety: Always wear insulating gloves, solid insulating shoes, and appropriate protective clothing (non-synthetic). Use the welding shield with DIN Grad 9-10 safety glass to protect eyes from arc rays. Avoid direct contact with the welding circuit, as the no-load voltage can be dangerous. Do not weld on containers that have held flammable liquids or gases. Ensure adequate ventilation to avoid inhaling noxious fumes. Keep bystanders at least 2 meters away from the arc.
Overheat Protection: If the yellow control lamp lights up, it indicates overheating, and the device will automatically shut down. Allow the equipment to cool for a while before resuming operation.
Post-Welding: After use, the welding equipment should be operated in open loop for at least half an hour, or allowed to cool for one hour, before being packed and stored. Always switch the device off when not in use. Used electrodes and hot workpieces should be handled with forceps. Slag should only be removed after the seam has cooled.

Maintenance Features:

Regular Cleaning: Regularly clean dust and dirt off the equipment using a fine brush or a dry cloth.
Component Replacement: Immediately replace damaged or scratched protective glass on the welding shield. Promptly replace any damaged or heavily soiled/splashed components. If the tensioning force of the electrode holder or earth terminal subsides, replace them immediately.
Repairs: Only qualified electricians should perform repairs or maintenance.
Storage: Do not store or use the equipment in moist, wet, or rainy environments. Ensure the device is placed on a level surface and not directly against a wall, covered, or jammed between other equipment to allow for ample air circulation through the ventilation louvres.
