Welding preparations
Connect the earth terminal (5) direct to the part to be
welded or to the support on which the part is resting.
Ensure that the earth terminal is in direct contact with
the part to be welded. You should therefore avoid
coated surfaces and/or insulated materials.
The electrode holder cable has a special clamp at
one end, which is used to secure the electrode.
The welding safety shield must be used at all times
for welding. It protects your eyes from the radiation
emitted by the arc and nevertheless enables you to
watch the welding process.
Welding
• Put on appropriate clothing for welding, see „Protec-
tive clothing" point.
• Switch the device on.
• Select the desired welding current and the wire feed
rate to suit the welding wire diameter, the material
thickness and the desired penetration depth.
• Hold the welding mask in front of your face and guide
the burner nozzle to the point on the workpiece that
you wish to weld and actuate the burner switch to
create the electric arc.
• Once the arc is lit, the device feeds wire into the weld
pool. If the spot is large enough, guide the burner
slowly along the desired edge. The distance be-
tween the burner nozzle and the workpiece should
be kept as short as possible (never larger than 10
mm). If necessary, swing the burner nozzle slightly
in order to enlarge the weld pool a little.
• For those with little experience, the initial difficulty
lies in creating a stable electric arc. This means the
correct setting of welding current and wire feed rate.
• The optimum setting of the welding current and wire
feed rate can be determined by trial and error on a
test piece.
• A well adjusted electric arc creates a soft, even
buzzing sound. The penetration depth should be as
deep as possible but the weld pool should not drop
through the workpiece.
• If there is a rough or hard crackling sound, reduce
the wire feed rate or switch to a higher power level
(increase welding current). If the wire feed rate is too
high and/or the welding current is too low, the weld-
ing wire cannot melt properly and repeatedly dips
into the weld pool on the workpiece.
• A quiet, muffled sound with a flickering electric arc
indicates that the wire feed rate is too low. Increase
the wire feed rate or switch to the lower welding cur-
rent setting. If the welding current is too high, the
wire melts before it has even reached the weld pool.
This results in drops forming on the welding wire as
well as a sputtering and unsettled arc.
• The slag should only be removed from the seam
once it has cooled. If continuing with an interrupted
weld seam, the slag should first be removed from
the point of attachment. The electric arc is struck
in the weld groove, guided to the connection point,
properly melted there and then continued along the
weld seam.
• Attention! Always used tongs to move hot, welded
workpieces. Ensure that the burner is always set
down on an insulated surface after welding. Always
switch the welding machine off and pull out the plug
after the welding work is complete and during breaks.

Replacing the power cable
Danger!
If the power cable for this equipment is damaged, it
must be replaced by the manufacturer or its after-
sales service or similarly trained personnel to avoid
danger.

Maintenance and Care

Danger!
Always pull out the mains power plug before starting
any cleaning work.
Cleaning
Keep all safety devices, air vents and the motor hous-
ing free of dirt and dust as far as possible. Wipe the
equipment with a clean cloth or blow it with com-
pressed air at low pressure.
We recommend that you clean the device immedi-
ately each time you have finished using it.
Clean the equipment regularly with a moist cloth
and some soft soap. Do not use cleaning agents or
solvents; these could attack the plastic parts of the
equipment. Ensure that no water can seep into the
device. The ingress of water into an electric tool in-
creases the risk of an electric shock.
Maintenance
There are no parts inside the equipment which re-
quire additional maintenance.
Service information
Please note that the following parts of this product
are subject to normal or natural wear and that the fol-
lowing parts are therefore also required for use as
consumables.
Wear parts*: Earth clamp, burner nozzle, contact tip
* Not necessarily included in the scope of delivery!
Storage
Store the device and its accessories in a dark, dry
and frost-proof place that is inaccessible to children.
The optimum storage temperature is between 5 and
30˚C.
Store the electrical tool in its original packaging.
Cover the electrical tool in order to protect it from dust
and moisture.
Store the operating manual with the electrical tool.

Disposal and recycling

The equipment is supplied in packaging to prevent
it from being damaged in transit. The raw materials
in this packaging can be reused or recycled. Never
place batteries in your household refuse, in fire or in
water. Batteries should be collected, recycled or dis-
posed of by environment-friendly means. The equip-
ment and its accessories are made of various types
of material, such as metal and plastic. Defective
components must be disposed of as special waste.
Ask your dealer or your local council.
