OPERATING THE WELDER

THERMAL CUTOUT

If the machine stops at any time and

the amber light on the front panel

illuminates, the thermal cutout has

activated.

Wait until the transformer has cooled

sufficiently (the amber light goes out)

before restarting work.

ATTACHING THE EARTH CLAMP

Attach the earth clamp firmly to the workpiece as close as possible to the

point of weld.

IMPORTANT: Ensure that the earth clamp is attached to clean, solid metal. If

necessary, thoroughly clean with a wire brush or similar to guarantee a

good connection.

SWITCHING ON

1. Select the welding current by

turning the handwheel and

observing the setting on the scale,

on top of the machine.

The chart below is an indicator of the

thickness of material/ welding rod

thickness and the corresponding

welding current. This is intended as a

guide only.

NOTE: With practice you will get a feel for the best current settings for

different welding rod thicknesses.

2. Switch ON the machine.

Size of welding rod Amperage setting

16 swg 1.5 mm 40-55 Amps

14 swg 2.0 mm 50-70 Amps

STRIKING AN ARC

IMPORTANT: BEFORE you strike an arc, always bring the face shield up to

protect your eyes.

1. Line up the electrode exactly over the spot where you want to

strike.

2. Position your shield in front of your face and tap the electrode

down firmly. Once you tap down and contact is made, you must

instantly raise the electrode to the required arc gap.

•Thearcgapshouldberoughlythe same as the diameter of the

electrode.

• If you withdraw the electrode too far once the arc is struck, you will

lose the arc and have to try again.

NOTE: One thing that usually happens when you are striking an arc is that

the electrode sticks to the work. It should come unstuck with a

sharp tug. If it will not free easily, turn off the welder immediately

as it will quickly overheat, then give the join a tap from the chipping

hammer. As you get more experienced, this will happen less.

3. Once the arc is struck, move the electrode along its intended path,

keeping the tip in the molten pool at all times.

• You must also get used to feeding down the electrode steadily

as it burns away.

• An even crackling noise should be heard, which is an indication of a

good weld.

4. Inspect the job carefully, the area of weld should be complete fusion of

the electrode and parent metal(s).

• Any slag which forms on the surface should be chipped away with

the hammer/brush supplied.

• If the resultant weld looks messy and irregular, this is an indication of

porosity or slag contamination, and you have almost certainly failed

to achieve the correct combination of speed and current. This is a

common problem, so do not worry as practice will quickly cure this.

• When using the welder outside, you may need to take measures to

erect a wind break to make sure the shielding gas is not blown

away, thereby leaving a poor quality weld.
