MADE IN FRANCE
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
It is recommended to use the welding cables supplied with the unit in order to obtain the optimum pro-
duct settings.
DESCRIPTION
The PROTIG 160 DC LIFT is a portable Inverter welder, for electrode welding (MMA) and TIG Lift in DC. It allows wel-
ding with rutile, basic, stainless steel and cast iron electrodes. It works on a single phase 230V power supply. In TIG, it
will weld most of metals except aluminium and alloys. It is protected for a use on electric generators (230V /+- 15%).

POWER SUPPLY – STARTING UP
• This device is delivered with a 16A plug type EEC7/7. It must be connected on a 230 V (50-60Hz) socket WITH earth.
The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is 16A, for maximal using conditions. Check the power supply and its protection
(fuse and/or circuit-breaker) are compatible with the required current during use. In some countries, changing the plug
can be necessary to allow a use at maximal conditions. Use a 20A plug for intensive use. The device must be placed so
that the power supply is accessible.
•To turn on the machine press ON / STAND BY.
•The device will turn on in protection mode if the power supply voltage is over 265V.
To indicate this fault the screen displays
returned to within its normal range.
CONNECTION ON A GENERATOR
The machine can work with generators as long as the auxiliary power matches these requirements :
- The voltage must be AC, always set as specified, and the peak voltage below 400V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as several generators generate high voltage peaks that can damage these
machines.
ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA MODE)
• Connect the earth and electrode-holder cables. Respect the polarity indicated on the electrodes' packaging.
• Apply the usual welding rules.
• Your machine is equipped with 3 specific functions :
Hot Start (adjustable mode, see below) increases the current at the beginning of the welding.
Arc Force increases the current in order to avoid sticking when the electrode enters the weld pool.
Anti Sticking allows you to easily remove your electrode without damaging it in case of sticking.
Selection of MMA Mode and intensity setting :
- Select the MMA position (2) with the selector (5) until the MMA indicator illuminates.
- Adjust the desired current (display (1)) using the key (4).
