5.1.5.8 Wire check function: press the Right Button (4) again to enter to the wire check mode, rotate Right knob (3) to
select ON/OFF
5.1.6 Feeding the wire
1.6.1 Remove the conical nozzle (24) and the welding tip (25) from the torch. The conical nozzle is removed by turning
clockwise and pulling off simultaneously. The welding tip threads out of the tip adapter.
5.1.6.2 With the wire feed cover door still open pull the torch trigger (20) and check that the wire is feeding smoothly
through the feed roller and into the torch
5.1.6.3 Now stretch the torch lead and handle out as straight as possible from the machine and select the wire check
function. This will start the feed motor running at full speed to feed the wire through the torch liner.
5.1.6.4 Once the wire comes out past the end of the torch neck, pull the torch trigger, or press any button on the display
to stop the automatic wire feed.
5.1.6.5 Close the wire feed cover door
5.1.6.6 Replace the welding tip (25) and conical nozzle (24) back onto the torch neck and trim off any excess wire
You are now ready to weld!
5.1.7 MMA/STICK mode operation
Note
‐
MMA/Stick Welding requires an MMA lead set.
5.1.7.1 Connect Earth Lead Quick Connector (23) to the negative (
‐
) output welding terminal (7).
5.1.7.2 Connect Earth Clamp (22) to the work piece. Contact with workpiece must be strong contact with
clean, bare
metal, with no corrosion, paint, or scale at the contact point
5.1.7.3 Connect the ARC/electrode holder lead (optional) to the positive (+) welding output terminal Note – some welding
electrode types utilize different connection polarity. If in doubt, contact the electrode manufacturer
5.1.7.4 Turn the machine on at the Mains Power Switch (10).
5.1.7.5 Press the Left button (2) to mode section and select the mode by Left knob (1), and press the Left knob (1) to
confirm the MMA selection.
5.1.7.6 When welding the display will change to show actual welding volts and amperage.
5.1.7.7 VRD: VRD stands for Voltage Reduction Device. The open circuit voltage at the output terminals of an MMA
welding power source is high enough to potentially cause an electric shock to a person if they come in contact with the
live terminals. VRD is a safety system that reduces this open circuit voltage to a level where the risk of electric shock is
minimized. It does, however, make striking of the arc more difficult. Press the Right button (4) to switch VRD on/off.
The screen will show the preset
MMA welding current. This can
be adjusted by rotating the
Welding Parameter Adjustment
Knob (3).
