ATTENTION: Make sure that you do not rub the electrodes onto the workpiece. Doing this can
damage the workpiece and make it more difficult to ignite the arc. After the arc is ignited, maintain the
correct gap from the workpiece. The distance should be appropriate to the diameter of the electrode
used. When welding maintain this gap as accurately and consistently as possibly. The angle between
the electrode and the direction of operation should be between 20° and 30°.
ATTENTION: The welding clamp and welding electrodes must be placed on the insulated bracket
after welding. Wait until the electrode is cooled before removing the welding slag. To weld an intermittent
weld seam again you must first remove the welding slag at the welding position.
ATTENTION: A voltage which is 10% below the rated input voltage of the welder can have the
following consequences:
The power to the device will reduce.
The arc stops or becomes unstable.
ATTENTION:
The arc radiation can lead to inflammation of the eyes and skin burns.
Casting and welding slag can cause eye injuries and burns.
Wear tinted safety goggles or a protective mask.
The safety mask must meet the EN175 safety standards.
It is essential that you only use the welding cable which is included with the delivery.
z Welding
Choose between push and drag welding. The following section shows the impact of the direction of
movement on the properties of the weld seam:
Burn
Weld seam width
Weld bead
Weld seam fault
NOTE: You decide for yourself which type of welding is most suitable, once you have welded a
sample piece.
NOTE: Once it has worn down completely, the electrode must be replaced.
