2. Sikkerhedsforanstaltninger

Welding can be dangerous. Always follow safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage. Read and understand all instructions before operating the machine.

• Elektrisk stød: Kan dræbe. Sørg for korrekt jordforbindelse. Rør ikke ved strømførende dele. Brug tørre svejsehandsker.
• Røg og gasser: Kan være sundhedsfarligt. Hold hovedet væk fra dampene. Brug tilstrækkelig ventilation eller udsugning ved lysbuen.
• Bue stråler: Can injure eyes and burn skin. Wear a welding helmet with a proper shade of filter lens to protect your eyes and face. Wear appropriate protective clothing.
• Brand og eksplosion: Svejsning kan forårsage brand eller eksplosion. Hold brandfarlige materialer væk fra svejseområdet. Hav en brandslukker i nærheden.
• Forbrændinger: Varmt metal kan forårsage alvorlige forbrændinger. Rør ikke ved varme dele med bare hænder.
• Støj: Overdreven støj kan skade hørelsen. Brug høreværn.

4. Opsætningsvejledning

4.1. Strømtilslutning

Ensure the power supply matches the welder's requirements (AV90-240V). The welder comes with a specific plug type (EU, US, UK, or AU). Confirm your plug type before connecting.

4.2. Tilslutning af svejsekabler

1. Connect the electrode holder cable to the positive (+) terminal on the welder.
2. Tilslut jord clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the welder.
3. Fastgør jordklemmen sikkertamp til emnet eller svejsebordet, og sørg for god elektrisk kontakt.

4.3. Electrode Installation (MMA/ARC)

Insert the welding electrode into the electrode holder, ensuring it is firmly gripped. The machine supports electrode diameters from 1.0mm to 3.2mm, suitable for E7018/E6013 rods.

4.4. TIG Torch Setup (Lift TIG, if applicable)

If using for Lift TIG, connect the WP17V TIG torch (if included) to the appropriate terminal and ensure the gas line is connected to an argon cylinder with a regulator.

1. Svejseparametre: Displays recommended settings for different electrode sizes and plate thicknesses.
2. Nuværende skærm: Viser den aktuelle svejsning ampslette.
3. Andre funktioner: Indicates active features like Hot Start, Arc Force, and VRD.
4. Strømjusteringsknap: Used to precisely set the welding current.

5.2. MMA/ARC Welding

The ARC200D MINI features advanced technologies for stable and efficient stick welding.

• Hot Start: Automatically increases the current at the beginning of the weld to prevent the electrode from sticking.
• Arc Force: Provides a temporary increase in current when the arc length shortens, preventing the arc from extinguishing.
• VRD (bindtage Reduktionsenhed): Reducerer det åbne kredsløb voltage for øget sikkerhed, især i damp eller farlige miljøer.
• Synergistic Chip Technology: Automatically matches the starting arc current and adjusts for metal thickness, simplifying operation.

Procedure:

1. Tænd svejsemaskinen.
2. Select the MMA/ARC mode.
3. Adjust the welding current using the knob according to the electrode type and material thickness. Refer to the display's welding parameters for guidance.
4. Put on your welding helmet and protective gear.
5. Tænd en lysbue ved let at berøre elektroden mod emnet og hurtigt løfte den lidt for at etablere lysbuen.
6. Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed for a smooth weld bead.

5.3. Løft TIG-svejsning

The ARC200D MINI supports Lift TIG welding for precise and clean welds, especially on thinner materials.

Procedure:

1. Tænd svejsemaskinen.
2. Select the LIFT TIG mode.
3. Ensure the TIG torch is connected and the argon gas is flowing.
4. Adjust the welding current using the knob.
5. Put on your welding helmet and protective gear.
6. Touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece to initiate the arc, then lift it slightly to establish the arc.
7. Maintain a consistent arc length and feed the filler rod manually if required.

6. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din svejsemaskines levetid og optimale ydeevne.

• Rensning: Periodically clean the internal components using compressed air to remove dust and debris. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
• Kabelinspektion: Regularly inspect welding cables, electrode holder, and earth clamp for damage. Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
• Opbevaring: Store the welder in a dry, clean environment away from moisture and extreme temperatures.
• Køleventilator: Ensure the high-speed cooling fan is free from obstructions to prevent overheating.

9. Brugertips

• For optimal arc striking with 3.2mm electrodes, ensure your current is set appropriately, typically around 80-100A for general purpose rods like 6013.
• When using the Lift TIG function, a clean tungsten electrode and proper gas flow are crucial for a stable arc and quality weld.
• The compact size makes this welder highly portable. Utilize the shoulder strap for easy transport between different work locations.
• Udfør altid testsvejsninger på skrotmateriale for at finjustere dine indstillinger, før du arbejder på dit hovedprojekt.
