Workpiece
Connection of Output Cables
Two sockets are available on this welding machine. For MMA welding the electrode holder is shown be connected to the
positive socket, while the earth lead (work piece) is connected to the negative socket, this is known as DCEP. However
various electrodes require a different polarity for optimum results and careful attention should be paid to the polarity, refer
to the electrode manufacturers information for the correct polarity.
DCEP: Electrode connected to "+" output socket.
DCEN: Electrode connected to "-" output socket.
(1) Connect the earth lead to "-", tighten clockwise;
(2) Connect the electrode lead to "+", tighten clockwise;
(3) Each machine is equipped with a power cable should be based on the input voltage welding power cable connected to
the appropriate position, not to pick the wrong voltage;
(4) With the corresponding input power supply terminal or socket good contact and prevent oxidation;
(5) With a multi meter measure the input voltage is within the fluctuation range;
(6) The power ground is well grounded.
Operation for MMA Welding
(1) According to the above method to install is correct, turn the power switch, so that the power switch is "ON" position, then
the power indicator light, the fan comes on, the device work properly.
(2) Set the welding current relevant to the electrode type and size being used as recommended by the electrode
manufacturer.
(3) Place the electrode into the electrode holder and clamp tight.
(4) Strike the electrode against the work piece to create and arc and hold the electrode steady to maintain the arc.
(5) Commence welding. If necessary, readjust the Weld Current control to obtain the welding condition re-quired.
(6) After completion of welding the Power Source should be left turned ON for 2 to 3 minutes. This allows the fan to run
and cool the internal components.
(7) Switch the ON/OFF Switch (located on the rear panel) to the OFF position.
NOTE:
• Note the polarity of wiring, the general DC welding wire in two ways. Selected according to the technical requirements of
welding the appropriate connection, if you choose incorrectly will result in arc instability and spatter large adhesion and other
phenomena, such cases can be quickly reversed to joints.
• If the work piece distance from the welding machine, the second line (electrode holder and ground) is longer, so choose
the appropriate conductor cross-sectional area should be larger to reduce cable voltage drop.
