The penetration depth can differ according to welding 
technique and torch position

10.  Welding using MMA process  

 

The  welding  device  can  also  be  used  for  a  stick  electrode  welding.  To  use  that  process  turn  the 
MIG/TIG/MMA switch to MMA position. Connect the electrode holder plug into the positive socket  
(  +  )  and  the  ground  cable  plug  into  the  negative  socket  (  -  )  leaving  the  polarization  selector 
unconnected. Using the welding current regulation knob (A) set the desirable welding current.  
Please  note  that  different  electrode  manufacturers  may  advise  other  polarization  connections.  In 
such case please refer to electrode manufacturers information.  

 

11.  Cleaning and maintaining the device

 

 

The protection class of this device is IP21S. Do not use the device in the rain, nor expose it to 
extensive moisture. 
 

WARNING! 
 
Device based on electronic components. Metal grinding and cutting close to the welder may 
cause contamination of the inside of the device, thus causing its damage. 
 
The damage mentioned above is not covered by the warranty. If you need to work in such 
an environment, please clean device before use by blowing the inside of the welding 
machine with compressed air. 

 
To prolong the life and reliable operation of the device, several rules must be observed: 
1. The device should be placed in a well-ventilated room where there is free air circulation. 
2. Do not place the device on a wet surface. 
3. Use a wire diameter and spool weight according to the table. 
4. Check the technical condition of the device and welding cables. 
5. Remove any flammable materials from the welding area. 
6. Use suitable protective clothing for welding: gloves, apron, safety boots and welding helmet 

 

12.  Troubleshooting 

 

Symptoms 

Possible cause 

Remedy 

Wire feed does not feed the wire or 
feeding is irregular (feeder motor is 
working) 

Feeding roll grooves are dirty 

Contact tip is damaged 

Locking mechanism is not 
tighten 

Torch liner is stuck with debris  

Feeder roll type is wrong 

Contact tip diameter is wrong 

Clean or change roll 

Change contact tip 

Tighten the locking mechanism 

 

Clean or change the liner 

Mount appropriate roll 

Check the contact tip and 
change for a right one if needed 

Wire feed does not feed the wire 
(feeder motor is not working) 

Faulty feeding motor 

Control module failure 

Turn directly to the service 
centre 

Arc is not igniting  

Ground clamp not connected or 
connected improperly  

Polarization selector cable not 
connected 

Check the connection of the 
ground clamp 

Plug the selector to the 
appropriate socket 

Arc is too long and irregular 

Welding current is to high 

Wire feed is too slow 

Adjust the current value 

Change wire feed speed 

Arc is too short 

Welding current to low 

Wire feed to fast 

Adjust the current value 

Change wire feed speed 

ON/OFF button does not light up 

No electric supply 

Fuse failure 

Switch malfunction 

Check the power connections 

Replace the fuse 

Replace the switch
