Description
Your new single phase inverter multi-process welder offers three welding processes in the same power source. These
processes can be selected with the process SELECTOR SWITCH (1) on the front panel of the unit.
Flux-Cored Wire Welding, “FCAW” and MIG Welding, “GMAW”
The operator is required to set both the wire speed (RIGHT KNOB) (5) and the welding voltage (LEFT KNOB) (4).
Stick Welding, “SMAW”
Both rutile and basic electrodes can be welded. Welding current is adjusted using the LEFT KNOB.
TIG Welding, “GTAW”
In the TIG position, a TIG torch with a gas valve in the handle is required. The gas valve must be opened manually
before welding and closed manually when welding is completed. The arc is activated using a lift arc technique.
Using the LEFT KNOB, welding current can be adjusted.
Welder Layout and Controls
1. SELECTOR SWITCH for the welding process selection:
a. MIG (“GMAW”)
b. STICK (“SMAW”)
MIG
(“GMAW”)
STICK
(“SMAW”)
TIG
(“GTAW”)
c. TIG (“GTAW”)
2. INPUT VOLTAGE INDICATOR LED will be illuminated when input voltage to the machine is present
and the ON/OFF SWITCH (11) is in the ON position.
3. FAULT/THERMAL OVERLOAD INDICATOR LED will be illuminated under the following conditions:
a. The duty cycle of the machine has been exceeded or air flow is blocked. The fan will continue to run until
the machine has cooled, but output power will be disabled. Ensure that the cooling fan is running and that
there are 12 inches of clearance around all vents. When the LED turns off, welding power will be enabled
again.
b. The input voltage is outside of the acceptable range. If this indicator remains illuminated for more than 10
minutes, it is likely that there is an input voltage problem.
4. LEFT KNOB is used to adjust the following welding parameters:
a. In MIG (“GMAW”) Mode it adjusts arc voltage from 1 to 10. NOTE: this is a scale, not actual voltage.
b. In STICK (“SMAW”) Mode it adjusts welding current (amperage) from 1 to 10. NOTE: This is a scale, not
actual amperage.
c. In TIG, (“GTAW”) Mode it adjusts welding current (amperage) from 1 to 10. NOTE: This is a scale, not
actual amperage.
5. RIGHT KNOB is used to adjust the following welding parameters:
a. In MIG (“GMAW”) Mode it adjusts wire feed speed from 1 to 10. NOTE: This is a scale, not actual wire
feed speed.
b. In STICK (“SMAW”) Mode it is not active.
c. In TIG, (“GTAW”) Mode it is not active.
6. EURO CONNECT SOCKET
7. NEGATIVE (-) DINSE SOCKET
