Work Area Precautions
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids, gases, or dust. Power tools create sparks
which may ignite the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a power
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area
from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
Electrical Safety
1. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove
the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any
adapter plugs. Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt
whether the outlet is properly grounded. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
2, Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade
is wider than the other). This plug will t in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not t fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still
does not t, contact a qualied electrician to install a polarized outlet.
Do not change the plug in any way. Double insulation eliminates the need for
the three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
3. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators.There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
4. Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions.Water entering a
power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
5. Do not abuse the Power Cord. Never use the Power Cord to carry the
tool or pull the Plug from an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from
heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace damaged Power Cords
immediately. Damaged Power Cords increase the risk of electric shock.
6. When operating a power tool outside, sue an outdoor extension cord
marker “W-A” or “W”.These extension cords are rated for outdoor use, and
reduce the risk of electric shock.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert.Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a power tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention
while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.

2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental staring. Be sure the Power Switch is off before plugging
in. Carrying power tools with your nger on the Power Switch, or plugging in
power tools with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the power tool on.A
wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the power tool may result
in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the power tool in unexpected
situations.
6. Use safety equipment.Always wear eye protection. Dust mask, nonskid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection must be used for appropriate
conditions.
Tool Use and Care
1. 1. Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support
the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work piece by hand ro against
your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application.The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the power tool if the Power Switch does not turn it on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous and must
be replaced.
4. Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep cutting tools maintained and clean.
Properly maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not
use a damaged tool.Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for
your model.Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

Manual arc welding
Manual arc welding, briey called MMA (Manual Metal Arc Welding), is one of the oldest
electric welding procedures used for metallic materials, which is still used today.
In 1891 Nikolai Gavrilovich Slawjanow replaced the carbon electrodes commonly used
in his time for arc welding by a metal rod that was both the arc carrier and ller metal.
Since the rst rod electrodes were not coated, the weld itself was not protected from
oxidation. Therefore these electrodes were difcult to weld. The electric arc burning
between an electrode and the workpiece is used as the heat source for welding.The
high temperature of the arc melts the material in the welding area.The rod electrode
simultaneously melts off acting as a ller material to form the weld bead. Both AC and
DC currents can be used to power the process.
Rod electrodes are used as ller material in arc welding. For each welding type there
are appropriate electrodes, e.g. for build-up welding and joint welding. Information
concerning the nature, characteristics and application of an electrode is provided by
the brief label, which is printed on each electrode package.The gases produced by the
melting of the electrode coating are used to stabilise the arc and separate the liquid
metal transfer in the arc from the inuences of the surrounding air and to reduce the
burning of alloy components.Apart from that the melted coating also produces slag.

Rev. 04.04.2022 Rev. 04.04.2022
This liquid is lighter than liquid steel and is washed onto the weld.This enables a slow
cooling process and thus lower shrinkage stress.The anode (positive pole) is heated
by electron bombardment and positive metal ions ow from there to the workpiece.
Therefore consumable electrodes are mostly used as anodes with the workpiece
material acting as a negative pole. In TIG welding the electrode has a negative pole
in order to keep the degree of removal low. Arc welding is used in the construction
industry (bridge supports) but also in precision engineering.
The following rule applies regardless of application:The thinner the material, the more
expensive the equipment. Due to low current levels (necessary not to burn through
materials under 1 mm wall thickness), a signicantly more complex control process is
required.
Tungsten inert gas welding (deu. WIG; eng. TIG)
The tungsten inert gas welding technology (TIG welding) comes from the U.S., where it
became known in 1936 as argon welding. Only after the second World War II was it in
troduced in Germany. In English-speaking countries this method is called TIG, after the
English word for tungsten.The method offers several interesting advantages over other
fusion welding processes. For example, it is universally applicable: if a metallic material is
at all suitable for welding, then it can be processed with this procedure.Additionally it is
also a very „clean“ process, which produces very little pollution and little splashes and,
when used correctly, guarantees a high quality welded joint.A particular advantage of
TIG welding is also the fact that compared to other methods employing a consumable
electrode, the addition of a ller material and the current are not linked.
Therefore the welder has control over the power:
• it may be optimally matched to the welding task and it is only necessary to add
asmuch ller as is currently required. This makes the process particularly suitable for
welding root passes and for welding in forced positions.
• due to the relatively low and small-scale heat input there is little tendency for the
workpieces to warp during welding.
• these advantages have caused the process to be particularly suitable for
welding of air planes and space vehicles, construction elements used in nuclear
installations and installation components and equipment for chemical plants.
Current regulation
The automatic current suppression circuit protects against over-voltage up to the value
indicated in the technical datasheet.
Heat protection
The thermal protection circuit takes action when the device exceeds the duty cycle.
This means stopping the machine.
EN
Duty Cycle
The duty cycle is the percentage of the operating time (measured in minutes) of a
10-minute period in which the machine is used continuously in normal temperature
conditions. If the values of the duty cycle are exceeded, this will trigger the overheat
protection function, which stops the machine until it is cooled down to normal
operating temperature. Repeated situations of exceeding the duty cycle values may
lead to serious damage of the machine.

RoHS CERTIFICATES = this welder was produced according to
strict European regulations and rules and is therefore CE
certied and RoHS compliant. This guarantees the long life and
maximum quality of this device.
MOSFeT This inverter uses MOS-FET technology. More than any
other technology, the MOS-FET enables the achievement
of maximum effectiveness. In comparison to the amount
of electricity used the user will obtain disproportionate
effectiveness. The result is an efciency of 93%! Therefore the
current is kept constant and ensures a perfect weld. Only
by using the MOS-FET technology is it possible to keep this
device as compact and lightweight.
NORMAL CURRENT:The device uses a 1-phase connection
(230V +/- 10%).

ERROR INDICATOR = The indicator lights in the following two
situations:
a) If the machine has malfunctioned and can not be operated.
b) If the cutting device has exceeded the standard working time the
protection mode is initiated and the machine will stop functioning.
This means that the machine is now being cooled in order to be able
to restore temperature control again after the device has overheated.
Therefore the machine is stopped. During this process, the red
warning light on the front panel lights up. In this case it is not necessary
to remove the power plug from the socket.The ventilation system
may be left on in order to enhance the cooling of the machine.When
the red light goes dark, this means that the temperature is now down
to the normal level and the unit can be put back into operation.
4.
MMA-connection = Manual arc welding, briey called MMA, is one
of the oldest electric welding procedures used for metallic materials,
which is still used today.An electronic arc, formed between an
electrode melted as a ller metal and the workpiece, is used as a heat
source for welding.
5+6.
TIG-/PLASMA TOR CH CONNECTION
Unlike the metal-inert gas MIG/MAG , in TIG welding the arc burns
between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the base material. In
order to protect the tungsten electrode and the weld pool it is
necessary to use inert gases, such as argon or helium or gas mixtures
with nonoxidizing components.TIG welding may be used for all weldable
metals.

The selection of the current, polarity and protective gas depends on the
base material.This machine works with a TIG torch, which is equipped
with a tungsten electrode and uses the additional protection of argon
gas. Depending on the material, a ller material is supplied. Our welding
specialists recommend red tungsten electrodes for steel and stainless
steel, green electrodes for aluminium, black electrodes for steel and cast
iron and gold and grey electrodes for universal application.
Depending on the thickness of the sheet the following tungsten
electrodes are recommended:
- Thin sheet (0.5-1 mm) = 1.6 mm electrode
- Normal sheet (1-6 mm) = 2.4 mm electrode
- Thick sheet (over 6 mm) = 3.2 mm electrode
As for gas nozzles, we recommend a size 7 in the universal scope and a
size 5 for precision welding.
Compressed air - plasma cutting:
The high energy density of the plasma arc enables a high cutting speed
with a warp-free cut quality. No special gas is required and the possibi-
lity to use regular air pressure along with easy handling of the unit are
a guarantee of easy use in car bodies, containers, steel construction, the
HVAC industry as well as in installations and plumbing..

8. At the back of each welder there is a screw and a label to provide the
necessary grounding. Before operating the unit it is necessary to ground
the shell of the welding apparatus by means of a cable with not less
than 6 mm diameter, in order to prevent potential problems caused by
electricity leakages.

INITIATING OPERATION
A. Unpacking
Unpack all the items out of the box and make sure that you have received all items
listed on the packing list.
B. Work environment
Make sure that the work area is well ventilated.The unit is cooled by an axial fan that
provides an air ow for the electronics through the rear panel.
(Note! The panel must be installed in a way where the vent holes are located closer to
the front of the device.)
Leave at least approx.15 cm at the front and 15 cm on each side for cleaning.
If the machine is operated without adequate cooling, the length of the duty cycle will
be reduced greatly.
(Hinweis! Die Verkleidung muss so installiert werden, dass sich die Entlüftungslöcher
näher an der Vorderseite des Gerätes benden.)
Lassen Sie mindestens ca. 15 cm am Vorderteil und 15 cm an beiden Seiten zur
Säuberung frei.
Wenn das Gerät ohne ausreichende Kühlung bedient wird, reduziert sich die
Einschaltdauer stark.
C. Cable connections
Each unit is equipped with a main power cable, which is responsible for providing
current and voltage to the device. If the device is connected to power which exceeds
the required voltage, or if the wrong phase is set, it may lead to severe damage to
the unit.This is not covered by the warranty for the equipment and the user will be
responsible for such situations.
D. Torch connection
Connect the torch to the inverter by connecting the air tube that is attached at the
end of the torch to the torch connector on the front part of the machine. Ensure that
the connection is secure by tightening it slightly with a spanner. However you should
not make it too tight.
E. Assembling the pistol
Put the pistol the protective cap facing up and turn the cap away from the gun. (The
protective cap holds the tip, the ceramic swirl ring and the electrode together). Remove
the cap, the ceramic swirl ring and the electrode.Assemble the electrode, the
ceramic swirl ring and the tip back together. Replace worn parts if necessary. Put the
protective cap on the head of the pistol and screw it on with your hand until it is snug.
If any resistance is present during this process, check the thread and the arrangement
of the items before resuming work.
EN
Note
Bei einigen Pistolen, die keine umschaltbaren Elektroden haben, ist es notwendig die
Elektrode noch zusätzlich, durch das Anwenden einer Kneifzange festzuziehen um
somit eine verlässliche elektrischeVerbindung zu gewährleisten.
INSTRUCTION
A. The beginning
Turn the power switch to „ON“.Take up a position at the unit in which you can easily
read the air pressure from the device. Press the pistol switch (air will ow out from the
pistol), adjust the air valve to approximately 6-7 (bar) and press the pistol switch again.
Note
The generally accepted value range of air pressure is 5-8 bar.You can now perform
tests as needed, but you should remember not to reduce the air pressure too much
because it may damage the consumables. Secure the ground terminal on the workpiece.
Connect the clamp to the main part of the workpiece and not to part which is to be
removed.
B. Cutting
1. Drag-cutting
Hold the tip of the pistol above the workpiece, press the pistol switch and move the
pistol
tip until it comes into contact with the workpiece and the cutting arc is established.
Once the cutting arc is generated you may move the pistol in the desired direction with
the tip of the pistol always at a slight angle and maintaining contact with the workpiece.
This working method is called drag cutting. Excessively rapid movements should be
avoided.A sign of this are sparks, which can spray from the top of the workpiece. Move
the pistol with a speed that ensures gathering of the sparks under the workpiece and
before proceeding make sure that the material is cut through completely. Set the drag
speed as required.
2. Weekly activities
Verify the proper operation of the air ow. Blow off or suck in dust or dirt from the
entire machine, including the air lter.
3. Distance cutting
In some cases it may be advantageous to perform cutting with the tip of the pistol at
a height of approximately 1/16“ to 1/8“ above the workpiece in order to reduce the
amount of material which is once again blown back into the tip and to maximize the
penetration of thick cuts through the material. Distance cutting should be used when
penetration cutting or or grooving is executed.The distance technique may also be
used when cutting sheet metal in order to minimize the risk of material back splashing,
which could damage the tip.

Take the pistol in your hand and rst turn the small black cap (back cup). Now turn
to the long black cap. Put the the tungsten electrode into the clamping sleeve (Collet).
Then insert the collet body and screw the ceramic head (nozzle) to the front part of
the pistol.
WORKING PROCEDURES
Argon arc welding (TIG)
Cleaning before welding
The tungsten arc welding is very sensitive to contamination of the surfaces to be
processed.
Therefore prior to welding all traces of paint layers, lubricant left after manufacturing
and oxidized lm have to be removed.
DC Argon arc welding (DCTIG)
• Connect the gas hose to the gas input port of the welder.
• Connect the gas hose of the welding pistol to the argon port of the welder.
• Connect the workpiece to be processed to the ground terminal of the welder
output (+).
• Attach the connector of the welding torch to the argon arc control socket
Gastest:Ensure that power is being supplied and turn the machine on,open the argon
cylinder valve and press the switch of the ow measurement device. Hold the pistol
switch and select the appropriate argon ow. Release the switch and the gas ow will
turn off automatically after a few seconds. If high-frequency arc ignition is used, the
tungsten electrode should be removed 2-3 mm before coming in contact with the
workpiece. Press the switch and the arc will be ignited. When the switch of the welding
torch is turned off again, the welding current is reduced and the arc stops working
immediately.The welding torch can not be removed before stopping the arc. Let the
protective gas cool to prevent oxidization of the weld.When the welding process is
nished, turn off the argon cylinder switch and disconnect the power supply of the
welder. Do not pull the power plug out when the switch is turned on
F. TIG cutting torch
EN
Manual welding with electrode
• Connect the MMA hose to the minus pole (-).
• Set the current control to the appropriate welding current (pulse current control
to minimum position). Use the empirical formula: I = 40d, d is the diameter of the
electrode.
• Positive and negative connection during welding.
• Connect the welder to the power circuit, then press the power switch and the
power indicator light comes on.
• Observe the relative weld current value and the duty cycle of the machine.
Overloading can cause damage and should be avoided.
• After using the welder you should leave it to cool down and only then turn off the
power switch
MAINTENANCE
Check the pistol for wear damage, cracks or exposed wire sections. Replace or repair
any such defects before using the device. A heavily worn pistol tip/nozzle contributes
to the reduction of speed, voltage drops and crooked cuts.An indication of a worn
pistol tip/nozzle is an elongated or oversized nozzle opening. The external part of the
electrode may be recessed no more than 3.2 mm. Replace the electrode if it is worn,
as indicated by the above measurement. If the cap cannot be re-attached easily, check
the thread.
Weekly activities
Check that the ventilation is working properly.

Hersteller an Verbraucher
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
gebrauchte Elektro- und Elektronikgeräte dürfen gemäß europäischer Vorgaben [1] nicht zum unsortierten Siedlungsabfall
gegeben werden, sondern müssen getrennt erfasst werden. Das Symbol der Abfalltonne auf Rädern weist auf die Notwendigkeit
der getrennten Sammlung hin. Helfen auch Sie mit beim Umweltschutz. Sorgen Sie dafür, dieses Gerät, wenn Sie es nicht mehr
weiter nutzen wollen, in die hierfür vorgesehenen Systeme der Getrenntsammlung zu geben.
In Deutschland sind Sie gesetzlich [2] verpichtet, ein Altgerät einer vom unsortierten Siedlungsabfall getrennten Erfassung
zuzuführen. Die öffentlich - rechtlichen Entsorgungsträger (Kommunen) haben hierzu Sammelstellen eingerichtet, an denen
Altgeräte aus privaten Haushalten ihres Gebietes für Sie kostenfrei entgegengenommen werden. Möglicherweise holen die
rechtlichen Entsorgungsträger die Altgeräte auch bei den privaten Haushalten ab.
Bitte informieren Sie sich über Ihren lokalen Abfallkalender oder bei Ihrer Stadt- oder Gemeindeverwaltung über die in Ihrem
Gebiet zur Verfügung stehenden Möglichkeiten der Rückgabe oder Sammlung von Altgeräten.
