MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out main-
tenance work. DANGER High Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the
electrical connections checked by a qualified person, with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales service or an equally qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
HARDWARE DESCRIPTION
The PROGYS 180A is a single phase Inverter "stick welder" for MMA electrode welding with direct current (DC). It is
capable of welding all type of electrodes: rutile, cast-iron, basic, stainless steel. It is over-voltage protected when used
on power generators (230 V +- 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 32A plug for intensive use. The device must be placed so
that the power supply is accessible.
• To start the device, turn the potentiometer to the desired current position. Put the potentiometer on «O» for standby
mode.
• Connect the earth clamp and electrode-holder in the quick-plugs. Respect the polarity indicated on the electrode pac-
kaging.
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.

PRODUCT FEATURES
• Apply the usual welding rules.
• Leave the machine connected to the power supply after welding in order to let it cool down.
• Thermal protection : in case of over-heating the thermal protection light turns on. The cooling time is about 2 to 5 min
according to external temperature.
Mode MMA
• Your machine is equipped with 3 specific functions to Inverters :
- The Hot Start increases the current at the beginning of the welding.
- The Arc Force increases the current in order to avoid the sticking when electrode enters in melted metal.
- The Anti Sticking allows you to easily withdraw your electrode without damaging it in case of sticking.
