• The ceramic nozzle diameter must be between 4 and 6
times the electrode diameter.
Normally, the gas most frequently used is ARGON be-
cause it costs less than the other inert gases. However,
ARGON mixtures can also be used, with max. 2% HY-
DROGEN for welding stainless steel and HELIUM or AR-
GON-HELIUM mixtures for welding copper.
These mixtures increase the heat of the arc while weld-
ing, but they are also much more costly. If HELIUM gas
is used, increase the liters per minute up to 10 times the
diameter of the electrode (e.g. diameter 1.6 x10= 16 lt/min
of Helium). Use D.I.N. 10 protective glass until 75A and
D.I.N. 11 from 75A on.
14.1 PREPARING THE ELECTRODE
15 WELDING WITH COVERED ELECTRODES (MMA)
This welding machine is suitable for welding all types of
electrodes, with the exception of cellulosic (AWS 6010).
• Make sure that the switch is in position 0, then connect
the welding cables, observing the polarity required by
the manufacturer of the electrodes you will be using; also
connect the clamp of the ground cable to the workpiece,
as close to the weld as possible, making sure that there
is good electrical contact.
• Do not touch the welding torch or electrode clamp and
the ground clamp.
• Turn on the machine using the switch.
• Select MMA Process following pagraph 4.5 directions.
• Adjust the current based on the electrode diameter,
welding position and type of joint to be made.
• Always remember to shut off the machine and remove
the electrode from the clamp after welding.
To modify welding parametres, proceede as follows: se-
lect and confirm the sector relative to welding parame-
ters. Confirmation enables access to the following weld-
ing parameters:
• HOT START CURRENT adjustable from 0 to 100% of
the welding current. This function facilitates the arc ig-
nition, providing an overcurrent, at each welding restart.
• HOT START TIME adjustable from 0 to 1 sec.
• ARC FORCE adjustable from 0 to 100%.
• ANTISTICK: this function automatically switches off the
welding power source if the electrode sticks to the mate-
rial to be welded, allowing manual removal without dam-
aging the electrode holder.

16 REMOTE CONTROLS
The following remote controls may be connected to ad-
just the welding current for this welding machine :
Art.1256 TIG Welding torch only START button. (water
cooled).
Art.1258 TIG torch with START and UP/DOWN buttons
(water-cooled).
Art. 193 Pedal control (used in TIG welding).
Art 1192+Art 187 (used in MMA welding).
Art . 1180 Connector to connect torch and pedal control
at the same time. Art 193 may be used in any TIG welding
mode with this accessory.
Controls that include a potentiometer adjust the welding
current from the minimum to the maximum current set in
the power source.
Controls with UP/DOWN logic control adjust welding cur-
rent from the minimum to the maximum value.
