INSTALLMENT
The welding machine is equipped with power voltage compensation device. When power
voltage fluctuates within ±10% of rated voltage, it can still work normally. In order to reduce the
voltage drop when using long cables, cable of bigger section is suggested. If cable is too long,
it may affect the performance of the power system as well as other properties, so we suggest
you to use the recommended length.
1. Be sure the vents are not blocked, lest cooling system will not work.
2. Use inducting cable with the section not less than 6 mm² to connect the housing to the
ground. The way is from the ground-connecting screw at the rear to the earth device.
3. Connect the power cable to power supply box which equipped with earth leakage protection
device. Make sure the input power is of the proper voltage and meanwhile please ensure the
voltage fluctuation is within applicable range.
4. In actual use, maybe the power cable and welding cable length is not enough, please refer to
below form to choose suitable cable.

ATTENTION
1. Environment
1.1 The machine can perform in environment with dry air of a dampness proportion of max
90%.
1.2 Ambient temperature should be between -10C to 40C.
1.3 Avoid welding in sunshine or drippings.
1.4 Please do not use the machine in the air which is polluted with conductive dust or
corrosiveness gas.
2. Safety points
The welding machine has adopted protection circuit to avoid broken under over voltage,
over current and overheat. When voltage, output current and temperature of machine
exceed the standard level, the unit will stop working automatically. In order to avoid the
damage to the unit, operator must pay attention to the following:
2.1 Please make sure the working area is adequately ventilated!
The machine adopts air cooling, so be sure the intake is not in block or covered. It should
be more than 0.3 meter from welding machine to the surroundings. And good ventilation
is important for better performance and the longevity of the unit.
2.2 No over load!
Please avoid working overload as it will shorten the machine life.
Normally it's overloaded if the current display show abnormal code during welding,
namely it’s over rated duty cycle. So please stop welding immediately and resume
working after display is on normally. (Rated duty cycle 60% means: take 10 mins as a
circle, the machine works for 6mins and stop for 4mins under the rated output current).
2.3 No over voltage
Automatic compensation circuit of voltage will assure that welding current is kept in
allowable arrangement. If power voltage exceeds the limitation, it will damage the
welder. In that case, please take relevant preventive measures.
2.4 Assure the ground screw is well connected
There is a ground screw with the symbol at the rear panel of the unit. Choose section of
inducting cable over 6mm2 and reliably grounding to prevent from static electricity and
leaking.

TROUBLE SHOOTING
Below failures are related to fittings, welding materials, environment factor, supply power,
please try to improve the welding environment.

1. Welding spot become black

It means the welding spot is oxygenated without good protection, and please check the
followings:
1.1 Make sure the argon cylinder is open and has enough pressure which should be above
0.5 MPa.
1.2 Make sure the pressure valve is open and has enough flow. In order to save gas, you
can choose different flow according to the different welding current, but it may result in
that the protective gas can’t cover the welding spot entirely. Argon flow should be not less
than 3L/min.
1.3 The simple method to check whether the argon flows out or not is to feel the gas
through nozzle with your finger.
1.4 Gas flow is not well sealed or argon is not pure.
1.5 If air flow is too strong, it may low down the welding quality.
2. Arc-striking difficult and easily pauses
2.1 Make sure the rod or tungsten is of good quality otherwise it is difficult to meet the
request of the high quality welding.
2.2 It will be hard to strike arc if the rod is not dry enough or the tungsten is not
sharpened. It will also cause unstable arc and the welding quality will be influenced by
increased defect.
3. Output current not up to rated value
Current will not match the setting value when power voltage departs from the rated value.
While voltage is lower than the rated value, the max output may be lower than the rated
value.
4. Current is unstable during welding process and it may be caused by the
followings:
4.1 Electric network voltage changes.
4.2 Harmful interferences from electric network or other equipments.
4.3 Undersize of external input cable.
5. Too much spatter under MMA welding
5.1 High current with rod of small diameter.
5.2 The output terminal polarity is reversed. For normal use you can adopt positive
connection which means the holder connects to “-” polarity and work-piece to the “+”
polarity, so please exchange.
