3 2 .‐Location of installation
1)Keep wall side clearance of more than 30cm in dry room.
2)The area with no direct ray of sun, or no wind and rain.

4
3)The area where the surrounding temperature is in 10~40°C range.‐
4)The altitude of the location shall not higher than 1000m above the sea level.
3 3 .‐Cautions in grounding
1)The welder must be grounded, or electrical current of the case causes the unstability of
operation and accidents.
2)Connect grounding conductive cable which is 10SQ or more to the grounding terminal which is
marked "Grounding". During the grounding work, make sure to off the on/off switch in the
switch board, and afterward connect the ground cable.
3)When the base metal is placed on insulator such as wood, the base metal must be grounded.
4)When there swimming pool or pond between the earth of power source switch board and the
earth of welder, leakage current may flow to the pond or swimming pool. So in such place,
please connect grounding to both grounding points in parallel so that the leakage current flow
through the cable.
3 4. Capacity of power facility‐
Please use this welding machine at a rated input voltage. Since the welder is installed with a
building out network for input voltage, it will operate normally within a range of ±10% of the‐
input voltage. Any excessive input of voltage beyond the allowance can result in failure.
3 5 .‐Ventilation
CO2 arc welding resolves shield gas, CO2 in high temperature and produces few carbon‐
monoxide, Therefore, please ventilate properly when welding is carried out in a small space.
3-6 . Carbon dioxide
Please use KS No.3 or the one specified for welding.
3-7. Connection of electrical sys (Off the on/off switch in the switchboard)
Even one point of defective connection may cause unsatisfactory welding quality. Please tighten
the connection cables firmly with tool.
1)Connection of input power : Please connect referring to the Fig. 1. Install NFB for your safety.
When you install the electric leafage breakers, please install the one which can detect more
than 30mA.
2)Connection of output : Referring the Fig 1, please connect the torch to (+), base metal to ( ).‐
3)Connection of control cable: Connect the control cable to remote terminal in order to control
welding wire feeder and remote control box.

5
4)Ground: Ground terminal is behind of the inverter welder. The connection cable shall be 10SQ
or above.
5)When it is used with engine generator, please use bigger engine generator than the one
specified in 2 2.standard specification. Unstable output power voltage may cause the stop by‐
activating the abnormal voltage detection circuit of welder. And please start the engine
generator when the power switch of welder is off mode. An instant applying of excessive
voltage may cause malfunction of welder.
3-8 . Gas Connection
1)Connect CO2 gas to pressure regulator.
2)Connect outlet hose of gas pressure regulator to the gas inlet behind of in the welder.
3)Connect the heat plug of gas pressure regulator to the dedicated receptacle behind of the
welder. (The receptacle is dedicated to pressure regulator)
4)Install the gas container in the place where is no direct ray of sun. And it is recommended to
fix it to a supporter for safety.
5)For the good welding quality, please use high purity gas.
4. Handling and operation
4-1 . Front panel and name

4-2 . Function and explanation
1)Voltmeter (Voltage): It will work at the time of no load or when the welding machine is put in‐
operation.
2)Amperemeter (Current): It will operate only at the time of welding (not work at the time of no‐
load)
3)Warning lamp (Error)
Abnormal power: In case input voltage drops below 20% of the standard voltage, lamp will be①
turned on (stop)
Overload: It will be turned on (stop) when welding current rises sharply②
Abnormal temperature: The temperature inside the machine reaches above 85 , it will be③ ℃
turned on; in case the warning lamp is turned off after a certain period of time, the machine
will be operative for use.
4)Power lamp (power): It shows that power is supplied to the welding machine.
5)Power switch (power): The switch turns on and off the welder and it will shut off in case of
overload.
6)Crater voltage, current: When Weld Select Switch is set to Crater, it will be adjustable. Please
refer to Welding Chart (chapter 8) for welding conditions.
7)Arc quality: Depth of weld penetration in base metal, height and width of weld bead can be
adjusted depending on length of arc, current, and voltage.
Scale Amount of Weld penetration
of welding rod Height of weld bead Width of weld bead
0~ 6 Getting larger Getting lower Getting wider
0~ -6 Getting smaller Getting higher Getting narrower
8)Wire diameter select switch
9)Weld select switch
A)When there is no crater It is operative only when torch switch is set to ON.‐
B)When there is a crater Welding current start to flow when torch switch is turned on, and the‐
welding current keeps running even if the current is off; once the switch is turned on again, the
crater current begins to run, and when the switch is off, the welding is terminated.
10)Gas check : Gas check/welding
11)Fuse: It protects PCB (3A) and Motor (10A). Please use a fuse that meets standard
requirements.

12) Remote connector: It is to be connected with remote control box.
13) Torch terminal (+): It is to be linked to the torch terminal of wire feeder.
14)Earth terminal ( ): It should be connected to base metal‐
Remote control box
A) Inching: Switch that feeds wire up to the tip of torch at the time of
replacing welding rod
B) Welding voltage: Welding voltage can be adjusted.
C) Welding current: Welding current can be adjusted.
4-3.Cautions in handling
1) Torch angle by welding direction Incline the torch 10 15° toward the‐
welding direction, and afterward you can weld by ’forward method", or
’Backward method" In general, "Forward method' is used considering with
the friction of arc and protection of welded surface by gas.
2) Welding torch
If the welding torch is bent excessively, smooth wire feeding is not available, and welding
condition is damaged due to reduced current. Please do not bend cable forcefully.
3)Standard use rate
5. Safety instruction
1)Power source device : Install one on/off switch for one welder.
2)Terminal connection : Fasten the connection part for smooth current carrying in welding.
Loose fastening may cause cable damage or wasting power.
3)Ground : Apply class 3 grounding
4)Surrounding environment : Please avoid the location where moisture and dust is too much,
and surrounding temperature is too high. Select place where air is
ventilated well. Especially, ventilation relates to the use rate.

6. Maintenance and inspection
Input power switch must be OFF when internal and external terminal are checked. The condenser
of welder internal circuit is charged, so please wait 5 minutes after completing welding work, and
afterward open the case and check.
6 1 .‐Check items by time
Before
welding
1)Does the switch work well ?
2)Does the cooling fan works well according to the On and Off mode, and is the air
well ventilated to forward?
3)Is there any abnormal vibration, noise or smell?
4)Any thing wrong in weld cable and connecting area?
5)Is there any defective insulation on cable?
3 6 month‐
1)Remove dust : Remove dusts by blowing out dry compressed air. Especially,
transformer, reactor and semiconductors shall be cleaned carefully.
2)Check of electrical contact area : Fasten bolts tightly and remove foreign material
such as rust with file or sand paper so that sufficient contact is available
between metals.
3)Check if ground is done well.
Annual
total
maintenance
1)Based on maintenance schedule, replace expendable supplies, repair case and
reinforce worn cables.
2)Insulation resistance shall be 1 mega ohm or above, or maintenance and repair are
required.
