2. Sikkerhedsinstruktioner
Welding can be dangerous. It is crucial to follow all safety precautions to prevent electric shock, fire, explosions, burns, and other serious injuries. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
2.1 Generel sikkerhed
- Read and understand the entire manual before installation or operation.
- Sørg for, at svejseområdet er godt ventileret for at undgå indånding af dampe.
- Hold børn og uautoriseret personale væk fra svejseområdet.
- Brug ikke svejsemaskinen i damp eller våde forhold.
- Afbryd altid strømmen, før du udfører vedligeholdelse eller service.
2.2 Personligt beskyttelsesudstyr (PPE)
- Welding Helmet: Always use a helmet with appropriate shade filter to protect eyes and face from arc rays and sparks.
- Handsker: Wear heavy, flame-resistant welding gloves.
- Beskyttende beklædning: Wear flame-resistant clothing, long sleeves, and pants to protect skin from burns.
- Fodtøj: Wear high-top, leather work boots.
3. Opsætning
Proper setup is essential for safe and effective welding. Follow these steps carefully.
3.1 Udpakning og inspektion
- Tag forsigtigt svejsemaskinen og alt tilbehør ud af emballagen.
- Undersøg for eventuelle forsendelsesskader. Rapporter eventuelle skader til din leverandør med det samme.
- Kontroller, at alle komponenter, der er anført på pakkelisten, er til stede.
3.2 Strømtilslutning
This welder operates on specific voltage requirements. Refer to the specifications section for details. Ensure your power supply matches the welder's requirements and is properly grounded.
- Connect the power cord to a suitable grounded outlet.
- Do not use extension cords unless absolutely necessary, and ensure they are rated for the welder's current draw.
3.3 Gas Connection (for TIG Welding)
For TIG welding, an inert shielding gas (e.g., Argon) is required.
- Securely connect the gas hose from the welder to your gas regulator on the gas cylinder.
- Sørg for, at alle forbindelser er tætte for at forhindre gaslækager.
- Åbn gasflaskens ventil langsomt.
3.4 Svejsekablets tilslutninger
- Forbind værket clamp (jordenamp) to the appropriate terminal on the welder and securely attach it to the workpiece.
- Connect the TIG torch or electrode holder to its respective terminal.
- Ensure all connections are clean and tight for optimal performance and safety.
4. Betjeningsvejledning
Familiarize yourself with the controls and settings before beginning to weld.
4.1 Kontrolpanel overview
The front panel features various controls for adjusting welding parameters:
- Strømjusteringsknap: Controls the welding ampslette.
- Modevælgerkontakt: Toggles between TIG (AC/DC) and Stick welding modes.
- Digital skærm: Shows current welding amperage eller voltage.
- Foot Pedal Connector: For connecting the optional foot pedal for remote current control in TIG mode.
4.2 TIG-svejsning (AC/DC)
For precise welding of thin materials and aluminum (AC TIG).
- Select "TIG" mode and choose AC for aluminum or DC for steel/stainless steel.
- Connect the TIG torch and gas.
- Set appropriate ampErage baseret på materialetykkelse og -type.
- Use the foot pedal for fine current control during welding.
4.3 Stick Welding (SMAW)
For general purpose welding with coated electrodes.
- Select "Stick" mode.
- Tilslut elektrodeholderen og arbejd klamp.
- Sæt den passende elektrode i holderen.
- Tilpasse amperage according to electrode type and diameter.
5. Vedligeholdelse
Regelmæssig vedligeholdelse sikrer din svejsemaskines levetid og optimale ydeevne.
5.1 Daglig vedligeholdelse
- Rengør maskinens yderside med en tør klud.
- Check all cables and connections for damage or looseness.
- Inspect the TIG torch and electrode holder for wear.
5.2 Månedlig vedligeholdelse
- Use compressed air to blow out dust and debris from inside the machine (ensure power is disconnected).
- Check the cooling fan for proper operation.
- Undersøg netledningen for tegn på skade.
Note: For any internal repairs or complex maintenance, contact qualified service personnel.
