WELDING CURRENT SETTINGS
The following settings concern the current range that may be used depending on the electrode's type and diameter. These ranges are
quite large as they depend on the application and the welding position.
Ø electrode (mm)

ELECTRODE WELDING
• The reverse polarity cable must be disconnected in MMA (stick welding) mode in order to connect the electrode holder and earth
clamp. Connect the electrode holder and earth clamp as indicated on the electrode packaging.
• Respect the basic rules of welding.
• This device has 1 feature specific to Inverter machines :
- Anti-Sticking: Enables easy removal of the electrode from the metal. The anti-sticking feature, after its start, requires approxima-
tely a 3 seconds delay before resuming normal welding operations.
ADVICE & THERMAL PROTECTION
This device is equipped with a ventilator regulated by the inside temperature. When the machine's thermal protection is activated,
it will not deliver any current. Yellow light (fig. VI-1) will turn on until the temperature of the machine has returned to normal.
• Do not block/cover the ventillation holes, ensure free flow of air.
• Whilst in thermal protection mode leave the machine plugged into the mains after welding to allow it to cool.
General observations :
• Always respect the basic rules of welding.
• Always work in an adequately ventillated area.
• Do not work on a damp surface.
• In order to avoid gas leak, use collarleak, use collars supplied in the accessories box.
- Make sure the gas bottle hold in place respecting chain fastening cf. fig. V.
- Set the gas flow by adjusting the dial located on the pressure regulator.

Clean out the contact batch or change it
and replace the anti-adherence product.
Ref. 041806.
• Control the roller pressure or replace it.
• Wire diameter non-compatible with
roller.
• Covering wire guide in the torch
non-compatible.
Release the brake and rollers.
Check that the power switch is in the
«On» position.
Clean or replace
Tighten the drive roller knob
Release the brake
Check the mains connection and look
if the plug is fed by 230 V (1PH) power
socket.
Check the earth cable (connection and
clamp condition).
Check the torch trigger / replace torch
Check the sheath and torch body.
Clean or replace.
Check the presence of capillary tube.
Reduce the wire speed
