MIN/MAX
3.1.3 1/2 switch.
Located on the front panel, to the right of the MIN/MAX switch. Select output needed according to
the metal material.
3.1.4 Overload light.
If welding with large current for extended periods, or if you exceed the duty cycle, the
overload lamp will light (yellow) and the machine will stop working until the unit cools.
When the overload lamp lights up you must stop welding and wait about 15 minutes
before continuing.
3.2 Operation process
3.2.1 Using cored wire.
The welder can be used with special 0.8 flux wire that does not require protective gas. This wire, contrary
to electrodes, does not leave slag and gives better bead penetration with substantially lower line absorption.
Make sure you use the proper welding polarity (as shown in fig. 3-2B).
The grounding cable connects with the " + " (positive) terminal, and the welding torch cable connects
with the " – " (negative) terminal.
