The duty cycle is valid for 40° C. Enclosure class The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration by solid objects or water. Apparatus marked IP21 are intended for indoor use. Application class The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased electrical hazard. -5bh39de GB 4 INSTALLATION The installation must be executed by a professional. 4.1 Location Position the power source such that its cooling air inlets and outlets are not obstructed. 4.2 Mains power supply Make sure that the welding power source is connected to the correct supply voltage and that it is protected by the correct fuse rating. The outlet shall have a protective earth connection.

Use the power source in accordance with the relevant national regulations. -6bh39de GB 5 OPERATION General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on page 3. Read through before you start using the equipment! 5.1 Connections and control devices 1 Indicating lamp, white, power supply ON, 5 Mains power supply switch 1/O 2 Indicating lamp, yellow, overheating 6 Connection (+) for return cable or welding cable 3 Knob for setting the welding current 7 Connection (-) for return cable or welding cable 4 Connection for mains cable 5.2 Symbols Power supply ON 5.3 Overheating Connection of welding and return cable The power source has two outputs, a positive terminal (+) and a negative terminal (-), for connecting welding and return cables. The output to which the welding cable is connected depends on the type of electrode used. The connecting polarity is stated on the electrode packaging. Connect the welding cable to the termnial stated on the electrode packaging. Connect the return cable to the other output on the power source. Secure the return current clamp to the work piece and ensure that there is good contact between the work piece and the output for the return cable on the power source. -7bh39de GB 5.4 Overheating protection The welding power source has a thermal overload trip which operates if the temperature becomes too high, interrupting the welding current and lighting a yellow indicating lamp on the front of the power source. The thermal overload trip resets automatically when the temperature has fallen. 5.5 MMA welding 5.5.1 Striking the arc MMA welding may also be referred to as welding with coated electrodes. Striking the arc melts the electrode, and its coating forms protective slag. If, when striking the arc, the tip of the electrode is pressed against the metal, it immediately melts and sticks to the metal, rendering continued welding impossible. Therefore, the arc has to be struck in the same way that you would light a match. Quickly strike the electrode against the metal and then raise it to give an appropriate arc length (approx. 2 mm). If the arc is too long, it will crackle and split before finally going out completely. Once the arc has been struck, move the electrode from left to right. The electrode should be at an angle of 60° to the metal. 5.5.2 Manipulation of electrode electrode In MMA welding, there are three motions to being matched in the end of electrode: the electrode moving to the molten pool along axes [1]; weld a small oscillation maybe neccessary to achieve workpiece the desired width of the melt pool [2]; the electrode moving along welding way [3]. The operator can choose the manipulation of electrode based on welding joint sharp, welding position, electrode spec, welding current and operation skill, etc. 5.5.3 1 2 3 2 1 electrode moving 2 the electrode oscilliation (right & left) 3 the electrode move along weld Anti-electrode pick-up If, during the welding, the electrode would get in direct contact (touching) with the workpiece to form short circuit the welding current will drop to a miminum to prolong the life of the electrode. -8bh39de GB 5.5.4 Joint form in MMA Butt joint Corner joint Lap joint T joint The common basic joint form: butt joint, corner joint, lap joint, & T joint. 5.5.5 Electrode selection The electrode diameter selection is based on the workpiece thickness, welding position, joint form, welding layer, etc. Please refer to the recommendations on the electrode package for further details. S To ensure good quality weld, the electrode should always be dried or dry stored. This to avoid hydrogen inclusion. blowhols and cold cracks. S In the welding process, the arc must not be too long; otherwise, it will cause unstable arc burning, large spatter, light penetration, undercut, blowhole, etc. If the arc is too short, it will cause electrode stick. S In MMA welding the arc length is usually equal to 0.5-1.0 time of the electrode diameter. The basic electrode’s arc length is not beyond the electrode diameter, it’s better to choose the short arc welding; the acid electrode’s arc length is equal to the electrode diameter. -9bh39de GB 6 MAINTENANCE Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation. Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized personnel) may remove the safety plates. CAUTION All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any faults. 6.1 Power source Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt. How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on: S S S S welding process arc time placement surrounding environment It is normally sufficient to blow the power source with dry compressed air (reduced pressure) once a year. Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating. 7 FAULT-TRACING Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorized service technician. Type of fault Corrective action No arc. S Check that the mains power supply switch is turned on. S Check that the welding current supply and return cables are correctly connected. S Check that the correct current value is set. S Check to see whether the MCB has tripped. S Check whether the thermal cut-outs have tripped (indicated by the orange lamp on the front panel). S Check the mains power supply fuses. The thermal cut-out trips frequently. S Check to see whether the dust filter is clogged. S Make sure that you are not exceeding the rated data for the power source (i.e. that the unit is not being overloaded). Poor welding performance. S Check that the welding current supply and return cables are correctly connected. S Check that the correct current value is set. S Check that the correct electrodes are being used. S Check the gas flow. The welding current is interrupted during welding. - 10 bh39de GB 8 ORDERING Repair and electrical work should be performed by an authorized ESAB serviceman.
