MADE IN FRANCE
CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR
These machines can work on generators as long as the auxiliary power matches the requirements below:
- The voltage must be AC, always set as specified, and the peak voltage below 400V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as certain generators can create high voltage peaks that can damage these
machines.
USE WITH EXTENSION CABLES
All extension leads must be of the adequate size and thickness for the voltage of machine. Use an extension that com-
plies with national safety regulations.

COATED ELECTRODE WELDING (MMA)
CONNECTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
• Connect the cables, electrode holder and earth clamp to the connectors,
• Follow the welding polarities and power recommendations indicated on the electrodes boxes,
• Remove the electrode from the electrode holder when the machine is not in use.
• The machine has 3 features exclusive to Inverters:
- The Hot Start creates an overcurrent at the beginning of the welding.
- The Arc Force creates an overcurrent which prevents the electrode from sticking to the weld pool.
- The Anti-Sticking technology makes it easier to unstick the electrode from the metal.
MMA WELDING PROCESSES
• MMA STANDARD
The MMA STANDARD mode is recommended for most applications. It can weld any type of electrode: rutile, basic, cel-
lulosic... and on any materials: steel, stainless steel, cast iron.
Activating the MMA mode and setting the intensity:
MMA
OK
To set the Hot Start, follow these steps :
Recommendations:
- Low Hot start, for thin sheets
- High Hot start for difficult-to-weld metals (dirty or oxydised)
OK
