Description
Your new single phase inverter welder offers Stick and TIG 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.
Stick Welding, “SMAW”
Both rutile and basic electrodes can be welded. Welding current is adjusted using the AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT
KNOB (4).
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 AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT KNOB, welding current can be adjusted.
Welder Layout and Controls
1. SELECTOR SWITCH for the welding process selection:
a. STICK (“SMAW”)
STICK
(“SMAW”)
TIG
(“GTAW”)
b. 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. AMPERAGE ADJUSTMENT KNOB is used to adjust the following welding parameters:
a. In STICK (“SMAW”) Mode it adjusts welding current (amperage) from 15A to 80A.
b. In TIG, (“GTAW”) Mode it adjusts welding current (amperage) from 10A to 85A.
5. NEGATIVE (-) DINSE SOCKET
6. POSITIVE (+) DINSE SOCKET
7. ON/OFF SWITCH
8. INPUT POWER CABLE
