9. BASIC WELDING OPERATIONS
9.1 ON/OFF SWITCH – FIG.8
The on/off switch
is a rocker switch. Press the top
half in to switch the welder 'on' and the bottom half
in to switch the welder 'off'.
9.2 WELDING CURRENT REGULATION
SWITCHES – FIG.9
The current regulation switches
and
regulate
the welders power in four steps. Min +1, Min +2 and
Max +1, Max + 2. Regulate the welding current in
conjunction with the wire speed
to achieve the
optimum arc for the workpiece thickness and type.
9.3 WIRE SPEED ADJUSTMENT – FIG.10
Wire speed is dependent on material thickness and
welding current. Being able to judge the correct wire
speed based on the sound and quality of the weld will
only come from practice.
• Too fast will result in holes blowing in the weld
or the wire hitting the metal will force the torch
backward.
• Too slow will result in the wire burning back to
the torch into a ball and clogging the tip.
Note:
When using the welder on a low amp
setting/low wire speed, it is necessary that the wire
drive tension is increased on the adjustment to avoid
the spool stalling.
