Safety
There are inherent safety issues whilst welding so please ensure you read this
manual carefully before commencing operaons and follow the safety guidelines
below to protect yourself and others from injury:
1. Whilst welding, ensure that you are working in a well venlated area to avoid
breathing in smoke & fumes.
2. Always wear a suitable welding mask/helmet, welding gloves & protecve
clothing whilst welding.
3. When appropriate use a suitable welding screen or curtain to protect other
people.
4. Do not weld near ammable materials or combusble liquids or gases.
5. Ensure the earth return is connected appropriately to prevent danger of electric
shock.
6. Magnec elds produced by the welder during operaon may aect cardiac
pacemakers — pacemaker users should consult a doctor before welding.
Set Up & Working Environment
1. The i-TECH135 welder should be operated from a 240v power input.
2. If you are using a generator, ensure it is powerful enough to operate the
machine. For best results use a generator ed with an AVR.
3. The i-TECH135 welder should be used & stored in dry condions.
4. Avoid working in environments where there is a lot of dust or corrosive gases.
5. Do not grind near to the air intake of the machine
Operang Instrucons
1. Connect the earth return lead to the negave socket on the front of the machine
and the electrode holder lead to the posive socket.
2. Turn the power switch at the back of the machine on — you will hear the
fan start to work & the green “power on” indicator LED will light up.
3. Set the welding current to the required level depending on the size of electrode
you will be using — general guidelines are as follows:
4. Aach the earth return clamp to the work piece or work bench & insert the
electrode into the holder.
5. Strike the electrode on the work piece to establish a welding arc.
6. Once you have nished welding, li the electrode away from the work piece &
switch the power o at the back of the machine.
