2. Electrodes and grounding terminals cable connections
3. Welding current indicating LED (OK if on)
4. Normally, yellow LED is off. When it goes on, it may signal following faults:
• Mains voltage different by more than ± 10%.
• Welding machine overloaded.
Sheathed Electrode Welding
The welding machine can be used with any electrodes, the cellulose electrodes (AWS 6010) included. Use electrode-holding clips
without any protruding lock screws in compliance with the current safety standards. Make sure that the main switch on the rear side is
in position,,0" or the main supply cable is not plugged in. Connect the welding cables to their polarity and in conformity with the
electrode manufacturer's data. Welding current circuit should avoid any direct or indirect contact with the protective cable, except for
contact on the welded piece.
If grounding is deliberately done using the protective cable on the welded piece, the connection has to be as short as possible. The
protective cable cross-section has to be equal to that of the reverse welding cable as a minimum. Both the cables should be
connected to the welding piece at the same point. Use the grounding terminal on the machine or a grounding terminal nearby.
Any precautionary measures should be taken to prevent stray currents. Check that the mains voltage is corresponding to the machine
input voltage.
Main supply cable connection: When mounting the plug, care has to be taken to have the corresponding capacity and the main cable
yellow-green conductor being connected to the grounding plug. The capacity of thermal magnetic switch or fuses of the main supply
line should be more or equal to the machine- absorbed current I1.
The absorbed current l1 may be determined upon having read all the technical specifications on the machine according to main input
voltage U1. The cross section of any extension cables should correspond to the absorbed current l1. The current supply shall be
switched on using the main switch on the machine rear side.
ELECTRIC SHOCKS MAY BE FATAL!
WARNING:
DO NOT TOUCH ANY CONDUCTIVE PARTS!
DO NOT TOUCH ANY WELDING CONNECTION OUTLETS WHEN THE MACHINE IS ON!
NEVER TOUCH THE WELDING MACHINE OR ELECTRODE AND THE
GOUND TERMINAL AT A TIME!
Select the current subject to the electrode diameter, welding position and the welding seam. With welding completed, keep in mind
that the main switch has to be turned off and the electrode removed from the holder.
Welding with WIG equipment (for tungsten welding in protective atmosphere): ordering no. Güde 41690.
Caution! It is not possible with ordering no. 20045, 20054!
Before getting down to work, make sure that the right gas is available.

Connecting the device, proceed as described below:
Connect the gas hose to the gas fitting on the corresponding bottle using a clip and connect to the WIG equipment.
-
The WIG equipment plug connects to the corresponding socket „Dinse" on the inverter (negative pole).
-
Caution: At WIG-welding (using a tungsten electrode in protection atmosphere), the grounding cable is the positive pole
and the WIG package is the negative pole.
Now, plug the grounding cable in a corresponding socket (positive pole).
-
Sharpen the tungsten needle in perpendicular direction to the grinding wheel and insert it in the clamp. Ca 5 mm of the tungsten
-
needle should protrude from the ceramic nozzle in the front. (see Fig. 1-4).
Now, turn the burner gas valve on (ca ¼ turn) and switch the device on WIG (if available)
-
Lighting: Now, set the ceramic nozzle edge sideward to the material and swing the needle close the material until the electric
-
arc is formed.
