INSTALLATION
1. MMA: The electrode holder and earth clamp are easily connected to the machine by inserting the quick connector
and twisting it clockwise. Always ensure a tight fit. Please pay attention to the connection polarity.
Generally, Reverse Polarity is used in which the welders electrode holder will be connected in the “+” Positive
Terminal while the earth clamp in the “-”Negative Terminal. The welder does have the ability to be used for
Straight Polarity or Reverse Polarity. We recommend you connect the polarity in accordance with the electrode
recommendations. If the polarity is connected incorrectly it will cause an unstable arc, spatter, and/or the electrode
to stick. If these symptoms occur change the polarity.
2. TIG torch: Fit the gas and power cable nut to the center connector on the front panel, and fasten clockwise and
the trigger plug to the front panel; connect the earth cable quick connector to the right side dinse connector.
3. Connect the Gas hose to the back of the machine and to the Argon regulator and fit the regulator to an Argon gas
bottle. (NB: Secure the gas bottle to a gas trolley or wall to prevent falling over)
4. Turn the machine on via the ON OFF switch located at the rear of the machine, digital current meter is on, fan
begins to rotate.
NB: When TIG welding disconnect the electrode holder or when MMA welding disconnect the TIG torch.
OPERATION
MMA:
1. On the front panel select MMA process.
2. Adjust welding current and make sure the welding current is adequate for the thickness of the material.
3. Strike an arc by touching the electrode to the work piece.
TIG:
1. On the front panel select TIG process.
2. Open the valve of the argon gas cylinder and adjust the flow rate to 10 –15 LPM Liters per minute.
3. Select the gas post flow of 2 or 5 seconds. (2s - for short or low amperage welds, 5s for long or high amp welding)
4. Press the switch on torch, the gas valve clicks and HF can be heard in the machine, at the same time Argon gas
will flow from the TIG torch. NOTES: Trigger the torch to disperse air out the pipes and to let the Argon gas flow
through. After welding Argon gas will still flow out for several seconds (Post flow) in order to protect the welding
spot and to cool the tungsten.
5. Adjust welding current and make sure the welding current is adequate for the thickness of the material.
6. The welding tungsten is held 2 to 4mm away from the material, press the torch trigger an arc will jump from the
tungsten to the work piece striking an arc the HF sound will stop. DC TIG welding is very quiet weld.
