Risk of electric shock or electrocution.
CAUTIONS
2.
The entire instruction manual must be read. Ignoring these instructions may create a risk of electric shock,
fire and/or severe injury. It is also recommended to read the accident prevention regulations of the
metalworking industry workers association (BGV D1, BGI 855, etc.).
Electric arc welding is a dangerous activity, both for those who apply it and for third parties. You should
always wear adequate protection when welding and handling a welding machine. For more information,
see the operator's safety guidelines in accordance with the manufacturer's accident prevention
requirements.
Body contact with electrically active parts of the machine or its accessories (electrodes, electrode holders,
torches, work clamps) can cause an electrical shock that can be fatal or cause serious injury.
• Do not use the machine in the rain or snow.
• Do not touch the electrodes or welding accessories with your bare hands.
• Always wear insulated welding gloves, making sure they are dry and in good condition, without breaks or
perforations.
• Electrically isolate the work area so that people are protected. Do not remove the case of the machine or
manipulate it internally when it is connected to the power supply.
• Only connect the machine to a 220 Volt 50 / 60Hz AC power source.
• Make sure the power board has the 60 Amp thermomagnetic switch and the ground connection properly connected.

6
• Make sure the power cord is properly connected to the electrical outlet. If you do install a plug, be sure to
respect the cable color codes. This should not be modified in any way, use plugs in accordance with the
standard to reduce the risk of electric shock.
• Turn off the equipment when you finish your work and disconnect it from the electrical outlet.
• Do not leave the equipment connected to the electrical outlet or with the switch in the ON position without
attention.
• Only place the electrode holder clamp or torch on an insulated surface regardless of whether the electrode
connected or not. Avoid shorting with the work clamp (ground). Remove the electrode from the electrode
holder if the welding process is interrupted or has ended.
• Place the machine switch in the OFF position at the rear of the equipment and disconnect the power cord
from the electrical outlet each time changes are made in the work area, when removing the electrode holder,
torch, or clamp. work (ground) and when transporting or cleaning equipment.
• Pay special attention to the condition of the power cable, if the cable is damaged, repair it with a qualified
electrician, PREFERENTLY take it to an Authorized Service Center by UJUETA MÉXICO, S.A. DE C.V.
• Avoid tensioning the cables, do not move the machine by dragging it from the cables, if you need to move
it, disconnect it from the outlet. Do not use the power cord to suspend the machine, move it, or pull it to
disconnect it from the electrical outlet. Keep the power cord away from heat, oils, pointed surfaces, or
moving parts. A cable in poor condition increases the risk of electric shock.
• Pay attention to the condition of the electrode holder, torch and work clamp (ground) cables, especially if
they malfunction during the welding application or when the application result is not adequate. Check the
whole set: connectors, electrode holder, torch, work clamp, repair or replace them with a qualified
electrician, PREFERENTLY take it to an Authorized Service Center by UJUETA MÉXICO, S.A. DE C.V.
• Avoid contact with the electrical circuit, it can have negative consequences for the operator's health.
• The low DC voltage of the machine output makes it suitable for use in confined or humid spaces. However,
excessive moisture or sweating on clothing should be avoided. Make sure there is an insulated surface where
the machine can be placed.
• Pay attention to grounding systems when welding on electrically operated equipment or systems.
Improper connections to your welding equipment can allow welding process current to flow through the
grounding system. Always connect the work clamp as close as possible to the welding area, avoid placing it
in a random place.
• In the event of an accident, disconnect the machine from the electrical outlet immediately.
• Only allow qualified personnel to repair the machine with original spare parts, this guarantees that the
machine remains in optimal operating conditions.
• Keep the machine out of the reach of rain and do not use it in humid environments.

Risk generated by welding sparks:
Sparks produced by the electric arc can cause fires or explosions if they come into contact with flammable
or explosive materials.
• Do not use the device in environments that present an explosion hazard or where there are flammable
liquids, gases or dust. The welders produce sparks and molten metal that can start a conflagration.
• Remove all flammable substances from the job site. Fire cannot be detected while using eye protection
when welding.
• Do not carry out welding processes on containers, naval artifacts or pipes that have contained flammable
liquids such as gasoline, mineral oils or gas even if they were unoccupied a long time ago since a small
quantity may represent an explosion risk.
• Do not use the machine to thaw pipes, do not weld in sealed containers.
• Always keep a charged fire extinguisher and a trained person to use it close to the workplace.
Risk generated by welding fumes
Breathing the fumes, gases and particles generated by welding can cause serious problems for your health,
in the short and long term.
• Keep your head away from fumes.
• Ensure adequate ventilation, use an appropriate air extraction system.
• Make sure you have an adequate amount of fresh air at your disposal.
• Use the machine in open areas.

8
Risk generated by the welding arc
The welding arc produces radiation that can damage the eyes and burn the skin. In addition to visible light
and heat, the welding arc emits UV radiation that is invisible to the human eye. In unprotected eyes UV
radiation can cause damage to the retina and even detachment. UV radiation can cause burns to the skin
without protection. The electric arc can give off hot metal particles that can cause injury. In addition to
this, the welding process produces sparks, spatter, and heating in the various materials involved that can
cause burns.
• Always wear a face shield. Warning: The product is delivered without a face shield. Purchase a certified
face mask and quality certified protective glass. The level of protection must be at least 9-10. You should
also have a tool to remove the slag from the weld bead and a welding wire brush.
• Make sure the face shield protects the entire face.
• Warn people around the welding machine of the hazards of the arc for the eye. If possible, use warning
signs indicating not to look directly at the welding arc. Use barriers to keep non-welding work related
personnel at least 15 meters from the welding work site.
• Walls in the immediate area or places to be welded should not be light colored or with glossy finishes.
• Windows must be protected from radiation by covering them at least up to head height.
• Wear welding gloves that offer protection to the arms when the operator is welding.
• Wear boots that protect the foot from the sparks produced by the process.
• Do not wear synthetic clothing while welding.
• Always keep in mind that after welding the work surface and the excess electrode are hot.
• Wait until the applied weld cools down to remove the slag or perform other work on it, likewise remove
the welding rod stub from the electrode holder by pressing towards the lever of the electrode holder.
• As a welder, wear appropriate clothing to protect your physical integrity:
Leather accessories for hands and arms, leather apron and leather boots. If you weld over your head wear
protection.

Risk induced by electromagnetic fields
The circulation of current in the welding process generates electromagnetic fields that can affect devices such as
pacemakers or other medical implants.
• Workers with medical implants must not use the product.
• Never wrap the welding cables around the body.
• Keep the welding cables close to each other and parallel to decrease the intensity of the generated magnetic
field.
WARNING
• Keep the workplace clean and tidy, disorganized and poorly lit places can cause accidents. Be prudent,
before starting work consider all the requirements to carry out your work. Do not operate the welder
when you are tired or under the influence of medication, alcohol and / or drugs.
• Professional training is required to operate the machine.
• The welding machine is not suitable for use in rain or snow.
• Use labor protection welding supplies authorized by the Department of Homeland Security.
• The operator must be qualified personnel with a valid operation certificate of "metal welding
operations".
• Turn off the power before performing maintenance.
• Only qualified personnel by UJUETA MÉXICO, S.A. DE C.V., can repair the welder. Uncovering and
handling the machine can lead to serious risks. Seek help from the nearest Authorized Service Center if
you find fault with equipment operation.
• Be sure to consider the special requirements for working in spaces with risk of fire or explosion.
• Never weld bicycle frames or ratchets, parts of vehicle steering, trailer tow bars, etc.
• Make sure the machine is adequately ventilated, do not locate it too close to walls with a minimum
separation of 10 cm. Do not rest the machine on the vents. Do not place the machine in a lateral and
horizontal position. The welder is not designed to be mounted on racks or on trolleys. Placing the welder
at inclinations greater than 10 ° from the horizontal may result in its overturning.

10
• Electronic devices near electronic welding machines can experience interference due to the high levels
of current produced during the process. Turn off nearby computer equipment as a precaution. If
interference occurs outside of the immediate area where the process is taking place, have a qualified
electrical technician check the grounding of the electrical connection used to operate the machine.
• The welding process can affect medical devices such as pacemakers. If you are a user of these devices
stay away and consult your doctor.
• Never use the machine for other activities or operations other than welding.
• Moving parts, such as fans, can cause personal injury. Stay away from them and do not insert objects on
them or obstruct them.
• Do not move the gas cylinder when the regulator valve is in place. Attach the gas cylinder securely,
upright to a wall rack or special cart.
• Always close the gas cylinder valve and then the regulator valve.
• Additional safety considerations are required when working under any of the following hazardous
conditions: In wet locations; metal structures such as floors, grates, or scaffolding; being in difficult

Duty cycle
Duty cycle is the percentage of time that the welding machine can deliver continuous welding
current, in a period of 10 minutes. In the Furius FIX 201 this value is 40% when the output current is
set at the maximum and the ambient temperature is 40 ° C. This percentage increases as the set
output current decreases and / or the ambient temperature decreases.
This means that the machine can deliver its maximum output continuously for 4 minutes, and after
this period the thermal control device will be activated, and the user must let the machine rest (it
should be left turned on) at least for 6 minutes. After this period, you can resume work normally.
The duty cycle may decrease if the ambient temperature rises above 40 ° C.
Warning! Do not exceed the
duty cycles established on the
tech plate included in the
welder and in this instruction.

Preparation for applying manual metal arc welding (MMA/SMAW)
Connect the work clamp (ground) to the piece to be welded. Make sure there is a good electrical
connection in the equipment. Remove any rust, paint, or any contamination using a wire brush or polisher
(grinder, angle grinder) before connecting.
If you use a metal table for welding, you should regularly check the connection of the work clamp (ground)
for signs of contamination or corrosion. A good ground connection is essential for good results in the
welding application.
Electrode ignition
Insert the electrode into the jaw of the electrode holder by pressing the lever on the electrode holder.
Make sure you have proper eye protection (face shield) before you start welding.
Note: UV radiation damage is particularly high during arc start.
To start the arc, scratch the electrode over the spot to be welded in a similar way to how a match is lit.
The 65V no-load voltage ignites the electrode quickly, and direct current (DC) allows the electrode to melt
evenly. If you are a beginner do not expect good results on the first attempt, take training courses and
courses in welding.
Bonded electrode (ANTI STICK)
If the electrode does not ignite, or the arc goes out while the electrode is being welded, it may stick to the
part to be welded. This situation is detected by the electronic board of the equipment and the welding
current is automatically reduced. This allows you to free the stuck electrode from the surface to be welded
by moving it back and forth.
While the electrode is attached, a protection is activated, driving output current near to 0. A short circuit
between the electrode holder and the ground is indicated in the same way. If the electrode cannot be
detached, separate the electrode holder and remove it manually using the appropriate protection and
tweezers. Be careful as the electrode can be very hot.
Duty cycle excess protection or thermal control device.
When there is protection by reaching the maximum duty cycle, or by internal heating of the machine, the
arc is extinguished and the protection of the machine is activated, while the welder cools down to continue
its normal operation. Do not turn off the welder, allow the fans of the equipment to cool the machine's
power components until the machine protection deactivates. Only until this moment can the machine be
switched off or start welding again.
Note: to preserve the power components of the welding machine from heat accumulation, do not
disconnect it immediately after activation of the protection, as described above.

TIG PROCESS
To use TIG with the Furius FIX 201 connect the torch to the negative socket or connector of the machine and the work
clamp (ground) to the positive socket or connector of the machine, as shown in the following figure:
3. SEPARATE THE TUNGSTEN
FROM 2 TO 4 MM TO START THE
ARC
2. SCRATCH THE TUNGSTEN
AGAINST THE WORKPIECE
1. PLACE THE TORCH IN POSITION
Argon gas from a cylinder with a
flow regulator must be used for
this gas. The torch must be
connected directly to the
regulator. The equipment does
not have a solenoid valve to
control the gas flow, so the use of
a torch with a knob is
recommended for regulation and
interruption of gas flow.
It is recommended to adjust a gas
flow of 10 to 20 l / m or 21 to 40
CFH.
The arc start mode in TIG is scratch
TIG, which means that to start the
arc it is necessary to scratch the
tungsten against the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING NEVER ATTEMPT TO REVIEW OR REPAIR THE UNIT WITHOUT HAVING PREVIOUSLY
DISCONNECTED FROM THE CURRENT. CHECKING THE OPERATION OF THE UNIT WHILE IT HAS VOLTAGE
MAY CAUSE SERIOUS ELECTRIC SHOCK DUE TO POSSIBLE ACCIDENTAL CONTACT WITH POWERED PARTS.

Periodically clean the welder using a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the vents free of dust
and dirt and if they cannot be easily removed use a damp cloth with water and a little soap. Never
use solvents derived from petroleum, alcohol, etc. they can damage the plastic parts of the machine
.
Clean the dust at regular intervals of time with clean, dry compressed air; If the working conditions
have heavy smoke and contamination, the welding machine should be cleaned once a month. When
using compressed air, the pressure must be reduced to avoid damaging the small parts of the welding
machine.
To avoid problems caused by water or rain, keep the machine dry and check the insulation with a
multimeter (including the one between the AC connections and between the housing and the AC
connections). Only continue the welding process when there are no abnormal phenomena.
13.
PROBLEM RESOLUTION
IN CASE OF NON-SATISFACTORY OPERATION BEFORE SERVICING THE MACHINE, OR REQUESTING
ASSISTANCE, CARRY OUT THE FOLLOWING REVISION.
Check that the welding current, which is regulated by the potentiometer with an Ampere scale, is
correct for the diameter and type of electrode in use.
Check that when the main switch is on, the power indicator LED turns on. If this is not the case, the
problem is in the electrical network (cables, plugs, sockets, fuses, etc.)
Check that the yellow LED is not lit (that is, that the thermal protection or for very low or high voltage
is not activated)
Check that the use of the machine is respecting its duty cycle. In case there is an interruption of the
thermal protection, wait for the machine to cool down, check that the fan works correctly.
Check the mains voltages, if it is above 265 V ~ AC or below 95 V ~ AC, the machine does not work.
When the voltage is within these values, the restart is automatic.
