Technical data
The general technical data of the system are summarized in ta-
ble 1.
Usage limits (IEC 60974-1)
The use of a welder is typically discontinuous, in that it is made up
of effective work periods (welding) and rest periods (for the posi-
tioning of parts, the replacement of wire and underflushing opera-
tions etc. This welder is dimensioned to supply a I2max nominal
current in complete safety for a period of work of 30% of the to-
tal usage time. The regulations in force establish the total usage
time to be 10 minutes. The work cycle is considered to be 30% of
this period of time. If the permitted work cycle time is exceeded,
an overheat cut-off occurs to protect the components around the
welder from dangerous overheating. Intervention of the overheat
cut-off is indicated by the lighting up of yellow thermostat LED.After
several minutes the overheat cut-off rearms automatically (and the
yellow LED turns itself off) and the welder is ready for use again.
How to lift up the machine
This welding machine has a handle for picking it up and carrying
it by hand.
NOTE: These hoisting and transportation devices conform to Eu-
ropean standards. Do not use other hoisting and transportation
systems.
Open the packaging
•
Upon receiving the system:
•
Remove the welding generator and all the relative accesso-ries-
components from the pack and the case (if present).
•
Check that the weld machine is in good condition, if not report
any problems immediately to the seller-distributor.
•
Make sure all ventilation grilles are open and that no foreign bod-
ies are blocking the air circulation.
Installation
The installation site for the system must be carefully chosen in or-
der to ensure its satisfactory and safe use.
The user is responsible for the installation and use of the system
in accordance with the producer’s instructions contained in this
manual.
Before installing the system the user must take into consideration
the potential electromagnetic problems in the work area. In particu-
lar, we suggest that you should avoid installing the system close to:
• Signalling, control and telephone cables.
• Radio and television transmitters and receivers.
• Computers and control and measurement instruments.
• Security and protection instruments.
Persons fitted with pace-makers, hearing aids and similar equip-
ment must consult their doctor before going near a machine in op-
eration. The equipment’s installation environment must comply to
the protection level of the frame i.e. IP 21 S (IEC 60529 publica-
tion). This system is cooled by means of the forced circulation of
air, and must therefore be placed in such a way that the air may
be easily sucked in and expelled through the apertures made in
the frame.
Connection to the electrical supply
Before connecting the welder to the electrical supply, check
that the machine’s plate rating corresponds to the supply volt-
age and frequency and that the line switch of the welder is in
the “O” position.
Use the welder’s own plug to connect it up to the main power sup-
ply. Proceed as follows if you have to replace the plug:
•
2 conducting wires are needed for connecting the machine to
the supply.
• The third, which is YELLOW GREEN in colour is used for mak-
ing the “EARTH” connection.
DIX GO 1206.M works with circuit breaker or fusible power switch-
es.
Table 2 shows the capacity values that are recommended for fus-
es in the line with delays.
NOTE 1: Any extensions to the power cable must be of a suitable
diameter, and absolutely not of a smaller diameter than the spe-
cial cable supplied with the machine.
NOTE 2: It is not advisable to plug up the welder to motor-driv-
en generators, as they are known to supply an unstable voltage.

MMA electrode welding (Fig. B)
Electrode welding is used to weld most metals (different types of
steel, etc.) using coated rutilic and basic electrodes with diameters
ranging from Ø 1.6 mm to Ø 4 mm.
1) Connecting the welding cables:
Disconnect the machine from the mains power supply and
connect the welding cables to the output terminals (Positive
and Negative) of the welding machine, attaching them to the
clamp and earth with the polarity specified for the type of elec-
trode being used (Fig. B). Always follow the electrode manu-
facturer’s instructions. The welding cables must be as short
as possible, they must be near to one another, positioned at
or near floor level.
2) Adjust the welding current using the potentiometer (Pos. 2,
Fig.A).
3) Turn the process selector (Pos. 3, Fig.A) to the ELECTRODE
position (for welding using basic electrodes with an “Arc Force”
and “Hot Start” device) or Cr-Ni ELECTRODE (for welding
stainless steel with special characteristics to achieve a softer
arc).
4) Start the welding machine by selecting position 1 on the line
switch (Pos. 1, Fig.A).
5) DIX GO 1206.M - The green LED (Pos. 6, Fig.A) shows that
the power supply to the welding machine is on, and it is ready
to work.
WELDING PARAMETERS
Table 3 shows some general indications for the choice of elec-
trode, based on the thickness of the parts to be welded. The val-
ues of current to use are shown in the table with the respective
electrodes for the welding of common steels and low-grade alloys.
These data have no absolute value and are indicative data only.
For a precise choice follow the instructions provided by the elec-
trode manufacturer.
The current to be used depends on the welding positions and the
type of joint, and it increases according to the thickness and di-
mensions of the part.
The current intensity to be used for the different types of welding,
within the field of regulation shown in table 4 is:
• High for plane, frontal plane and vertical upwards welding.
• Medium for overhead welding.
•
Low for vertical downwards welding and for joining small pre-
heated pieces.
A fairly approximate indication of the average current to use in
the welding of electrodes for ordinary steel is given by the follow-
ing formula: I = 50 × (Øe – 1)
Where:
I = intensity of the welding current
Øe = electrode diameter
Example:
For electrode diameter 4 mm
I = 50 × (4 – 1) = 50 × 3 = 150A

TIG welding (Fig. C)
TIG welding melts the metal of the workpiece, using an arc struck
by a tungsten electrode.
The fusion bath and the electrode are protected by gas (Argon).
This type of welding is used to weld thin sheet metal or when el-
evated quality is required.
1) Connecting the welding cables:
• Connect one end of the gas hose to the gas connecter on
the TIG torch and the other end to the Argon cylinder and
open it.
• With the machine switched off:
- Connect the earth cable to the snap-on connector marked
+ (positive).
- Connect the relative earth clamp to the workpiece or to the
workpiece support in an area free of rust, paint, grease,
etc..
- Connect the TIG torch power cable to the snap-on con-
nector marked - (negative).
2) Adjust the welding current using the potentiometer (Pos. 2,
Fig.A).
3) Turn the process selector (Pos. 3, Fig. A) to the TIG position.
4) Start the welding machine by selecting Pos. 1 on the line
switch (Pos. 1, Fig.A).
5) DIX GO 1206.M - The green LED (Pos. 6, Fig.A) shows that
the power supply to the welding machine is on, and it is ready
to work.
6) Adjust the gas flow by manually turning the valve on the TIG
torch.
PART TO BE WELDED
The part to be welded must always be connected to earth in order
to reduce electromagnetic emission. Much attention must be af-
forded so that the earth connection of the part to be welded does
not increase the risk of accident to the user or the risk of damage
to other electric equipment. When it is necessary to connect the
part to be welded to earth, you should make a direct connection
between the part and the earth shaft. In those countries in which
such a connection is not allowed, connect the part to be welded
to earth using suitable capacitors, in compliance with the nation-
al regulations.

SPARE PARTS
Original spare parts have been specially designed for our equip-
ment. The use of non-original spare parts may cause variations in
performance or reduce the foreseen level of safety. We decline all
responsibility for the use of non-original spare parts.
GENERATOR
As these systems are completely static, proceed as follow:
•
Periodic removal of accumulated dirt and dust from the inside
of the generator, using compressed air. Do not aim the air jet
directly onto the electrical components, in order to avoid dam-
aging them.
• Make periodical inspections in order to individuate worn cables
or loose connections that are the cause of overheating.
The pointing out of any difficulties
and their elimination
The supply line is attributed with the cause of the most common
difficulties. In the case of breakdown, proceed as follows:
1) Check the value of the supply voltage.
2) Check that the power cable is perfectly connected to the plug
and the supply switch.
3) Check that the power fuses are not burned out or loose.
