light beam emitted by the arc, yet allows for a

Welding
After making all the electrical connections for the
power supply and for the welding circuit, proceed
as follows:
Insert the uncoated end of the electrode into
the electrode holder
6 and connect the earth
terminal 4 to the work piece. Be sure the
electrical contact is good.
Switch on the equipment by setting the ON/
OFF switch
2 to the „ON“ position.
Adjust the welding current according to the
electrode being used using the hand wheel
3 .
Hold the welding shield 8 in front of your
face and guide the tip of the electrode over the
work piece as if trying to light a match. This is
the best method for sparking the arc.
Use a test piece to check if you selected the
correct electrode and current.
ATTENTION!
Do not dab the work piece with the electrode. It
could become damaged and make it more difficult
to spark the arc. Once the arc is sparked, try to
maintain a distance to the work piece appropriate
for the selected electrode diameter. Keep the dis-
tance as consistent as possible whilst welding. The
electrode grade in the work flow direction should
be 20 - 30 degrees.
ATTENTION!
Always use forceps to dispose of used electrodes
or move hot work pieces. Please remember to al-
ways place the electrode holder onto an insulating
pad after welding.
Only remove slag once the seam has cooled. If
continuing to weld on an interrupted weld seam,
first remove the slag at the start of weld.
ATTENTION!
Welding produces heat. The welding equipment
must therefore be operated in open loop after use
for at least half an hour. Or alternatively allow the
equipment to cool off for one hour. Only pack up
and store the equipment once the equipment tem-
perature has normalised.
Switch the equipment off by setting the ON /
OFF switch
2 to the „OFF“ position.
Overheat protection
The welding equipment features overheat protec-
tion. If the overheat protection is triggered, the
control light
7 will light up. Allow the welding
equipment to cool down for a while.
PESG 120 A1 (with AC 230 V 50 Hz power plug):
The supply line fuses to the mains sockets must
meet the requirements (VDE 0100). Earthed wall
sockets must be protected with max. 16 A (model
and technical data: NDM1-63, AC 230 / 400 V
C16. IEC 60898.time lag. Manufacturer: Nader)
(fuses or line circuit breaker). Higher fuse ratings
can result in burnt wires or fire damage to the
building.
Attention: The equipment must be connected to
a mains source with the fuse rating specified
above. If the electrode holder and earth terminal is
short circuited, the fuse can be triggered in
16-20 seconds.
Classification per EMV standard: Class A per IEC
60974-10
Warning: Equipment categorised Class A are
intended for industrial use. When used in other
areas, electromagnetic tolerance may not be war-
ranted or failures may occur.
Maintenance
Regularly clean dust and dirt off the equipment.
Clean the equipment with a fine brush or a dry
cloth.
