The machine should be located in a suitable position and
environment. Care should be taken to avoid moisture, dust,
steam, oil or corrosive gases
Place on a secure level surface and ensure that there is
adequate clearance around the machine to ensure natural
airflow.
Input connection
Before connecting the machine you should ensure that the
correct supply is available. Details of the machine
requirements can be found on the data plate of the machine
or in the technical parameters shown in the manual.

Output connections
Electrode polarity
In general when using manual arc welding electrodes the
electrode holder is connected the the positive terminal and
the work return to the negative terminal. Always consult the
electrode manufacturer’s data sheet if you have any doubts.
When using the machine for TIG welding the TIG torch
should be connected to the negative terminal and the work
return to the positive terminal
