WARNING
Never use defected gun.
Check gas flow with Gas Purge Switch [21].
Close the wire drive door.
Close the spool wire case.
Select the Right welding program.
Note:
The list of available programs depends on the
power source.
Set the welding parameters.
The welding machine is now ready to weld.
WARNING
The wire drive door and wire spool case have to be
completely closed during welding.
WARNING
Keep the gun cable as straight as possible when welding
or loading electrode through cable.
WARNING
Do not kink or pull cable around sharp corners.
By applying the principle of occupational health and
safety at welding, welding can be begun.
For non-synergic mode can set:
Wire Feed Speed, WFS

Welding GMAW and FCAW Process in
synergic mode CV
In synergic mode, the welding voltage is not set by user.
The correct welding voltage will set by the machine’s
software.
This value was recalled on the basis of data (input data)
had been loaded:
Wire Feed Speed, WFS.
If it is needed, the welding voltage can be adjusted by
the Right Control [36]. When the Right Control is rotated,
the display will show a positive or negative bar indicates
if the voltage is above or below the ideal voltage.
Additionally can manually set:
Burnback

Welding SMAW Process
POWERTEC i380C ADVANCED, POWERTEC i450C
ADVANCED
does not include the electrode holder with
lead necessary for SMAW welding, but the one can be
purchased separately.
Procedure of begin welding of SMAW process:
First turn the machine off.
Determine the electrode polarity for the electrode to
be used. Consult the electrode data for this
information.
Depending on the polarity of using electrode,
connect the work lead [13] and the electrode holder
with lead to output socket [3] or [4] and lock them.
See the Table 15.

Connect the work lead to the welding piece with the
work clamp.
Install the proper electrode in the electrode holder.
Turn the input power ON.
Set the SMAW welding program.
Set the welding parameters.
The welding machine is now ready to weld.
By applying the principle of occupational health and
safety at welding, welding can be begun.
For SMAW program can set:
Welding current
Switch on / switch off the output voltage on the
output lead

Loading the Electrode Wire
Turn the machine off.
Open the Right panel of the machine.
Unscrew the locking nut of the sleeve.
Load the spool with the wire on the sleeve such that
the spool turns anticlockwise when the wire is fed
into the wire feeder.
Make sure that the spool locating pin goes into the
fitting hole on the spool.
Screw in the fastening cap of the sleeve.
Put on the wire roll using the correct groove
corresponding to the wire diameter.
Free the end of the wire and cut off the bent end
making sure it has no burr.
WARNING
Sharp end of the wire can hurt.
