EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION
• Put the machine on the floor (maximum incline of 10°.)
• Ensure the work area has sufficient ventillation for welding, and that there is easy access to the control panel.
• The machine must not be used in an area with conductive metal dusts.
• The machine must be placed in a sheltered area away from rain or direct sunlight.
• The machine protection level is IP21, which means :
- Protection against acess to dangerous parts from solid bodies of a ≥12.5mm diameter and,
- Protection against vertically falling drops.
The power cables, extensions and welding cables must be fully uncoiled to prevent overheating.
The manufacturer does not incur any responsability regarding damages to both objects and persons that result from an incorrect
and/or dangerous use of the machine .
MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance work. DANGER
High Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified
person, with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales
service or an equally qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this welding current source to defrost pipes, recharge batteries/accumulators or start motors.
INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorised by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During the installation, the
operator must ensure that the machine is disconnected from the mains. Connecting generators in serial or in parallel is forbidden. It is recommended
to use the welding cables supplied with the unit in order to obtain the optimum product settings.
EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION (FIG-1)
This welding machine is an inverter welding unit designed for use on refractory electrodes (TIG) in direct current (DC) and electrode welding (MMA). .
TIG welding requires gas shield protection of pure gas (Argon).
The MMA process can wel all types of electrodes : rutile, basic, stainless and cast iron.

POWER SWITCH
• The material is supplied with a 16A plug type CEE7/7 and must only be used on a single-phase electrical installation 230V (50-60 Hz) with 3 wires
including one connected to earth. The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is indicated on the machine, for optimal use. Vérifier que l'alimentation et les
protections (fusible et/ou disjoncteur) sont compatibles avec le courant nécessaire à la machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to change
the plug to allow the use at maximum settings.
• When the power is turned on, the product starts in standby mode. The device is switched on by pressing the
• The device turns into protection mode if the power supply tension is over 265V. To indicate this default, the screen displays
Normal operations resume once the power supply is back to its nominal range.
• Fan behaviour: in MMA mode, the fan runs continuously. In TIG mode, the fan works only when welding, then stops after cooling.
CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR
The machine can work with generators as logn as the auxiliary power matches these requirements :
- The voltage must be AC, always set as specified, and the peak voltage below 400V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as many generators generate high voltage peaks that can damage the machine.
