2. Sikkerhedsoplysninger

Welding can be dangerous. Always follow safety precautions to prevent injury or damage.

• Brug altid passende personlige værnemidler (PPE), herunder en svejsehjelm med passende solskærm, svejsehandsker, beskyttelsestøj og sikkerhedssko.
• Sørg for tilstrækkelig ventilation i arbejdsområdet for at undgå indånding af svejserøg.
• Beskyt tilskuere mod lysbuer og varmt metal.
• Svejs ikke i nærheden af ​​brændbare materialer.
• Sørg for, at svejsemaskinen er korrekt jordforbundet.
• Rør aldrig ved strømførende elektriske dele.
• Afbryd strømmen, før du udfører vedligeholdelse eller udskifter tilbehør.
• Hold børn og uautoriseret personale væk fra svejseområdet.
• Brug kun originale reservedele og tilbehør.

6. Opsætning

6.1 Generel opsætning

1. Ensure the welding machine is placed on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation.
2. Connect the input power cable (6) to a suitable 220V power outlet.
3. Turn on the Power Switch (5) located at the rear of the machine. The LED Digital Display (1) will illuminate.

6.2 MMA/ARC (Stick) Welding Setup

1. Tilslut jorden clamp cable to the Negative Output Terminal (4) of the welder.
2. Connect the electrode holder cable to the Positive Output Terminal (3) of the welder.
3. Fastgør jordforbindelsen sikkertamp til emnet eller svejsebordet, og sørg for god elektrisk kontakt.
4. Insert the appropriate welding rod (1.6-2.5mm, e.g., E6013, E6014, E7013, E7018) into the electrode holder.

6.3 Lift TIG Welding Setup (TIG Torch sold separately)

1. Tilslut jorden clamp cable to the Positive Output Terminal (3) of the welder.
2. Connect the TIG torch cable to the Negative Output Terminal (4) of the welder.
3. Fastgør jordforbindelsen sikkertamp til emnet eller svejsebordet, og sørg for god elektrisk kontakt.
4. Ensure your TIG torch is equipped with the correct tungsten electrode (1.6-2.4mm).
5. If using a gas-shielded TIG torch, connect the gas hose from the torch to your inert gas cylinder (e.g., Argon) and ensure the gas flow is set correctly.

7. Betjeningsvejledning

7.1 Selecting Welding Mode and Adjusting Parameters

1. After powering on the machine, rotate the Parameter Button/Mode Adjustment (2) to adjust the welding current (Amperage) displayed on the LED Digital Display (1).
2. Press down on the Parameter Button/Mode Adjustment (2) to cycle through and select the desired welding mode (MMA/ARC or Lift TIG) and other functions like Hot Start, Arc Force, VRD (Voltage Reduction Device), and Anti-stick.
3. Adjust the current according to the material thickness and electrode size. Refer to the specifications section for general guidelines.

7.2 MMA/ARC Welding Operation

• Ensure the machine is set to MMA/ARC mode.
• Strike the electrode against the workpiece to initiate the arc. The Hot Start feature assists in easier arc ignition.
• Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed for a smooth weld bead. The Arc Force feature helps prevent the electrode from sticking.
• After welding, chip off the slag with the wire brush provided.

7.3 Lift TIG Welding Operation

• Ensure the machine is set to Lift TIG mode.
• Berør forsigtigt wolframelektroden mod emnet, og løft den derefter let for at starte lysbuen.
• Maintain a small gap between the tungsten and the workpiece, and feed the filler rod into the weld puddle as needed.
• Ensure proper gas shielding throughout the welding process.

8. Vedligeholdelse

Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din svejsemaskines levetid og optimale ydeevne.

• **Cleaning:** Periodically clean the machine's exterior with a dry cloth. Use compressed air to blow out dust from the cooling vents. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
• **Cable Inspection:** Regularly inspect all cables (power, electrode holder, ground clamp, TIG torch if applicable) for cuts, fraying, or damaged insulation. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• **Terminal Connections:** Check that all terminal connections are tight and free from corrosion.
• **Cooling Fan:** Ensure the cooling fan is free from obstructions and operating correctly.
• **Storage:** Store the welder in a dry, clean environment away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.

9. Fejlfinding

10. Brugertips

• **Initial Setup:** The welder is generally ready for MMA welding straight out of the box, requiring only the connection of the provided electrode holder and ground clamp. For Lift TIG, a separate TIG torch and gas supply are needed.
• **Electrode Selection:** For general purpose welding, E6013 electrodes are often recommended for beginners due to their ease of use and smooth arc.
• **Practice:** If you are new to welding, practice on scrap metal to get a feel for the machine and develop your technique before working on important projects.
• **Portability:** Take advantage of the machine's lightweight design and shoulder strap for easy transport to different work locations.
