Welding mask
If you do not use the welding protection shield, harmful UV radiation and heat emitted by the arc could
damage your eyes. Always use the welding protection shield for welding work.
Welded workpieces are very hot and can cause burns. Always use pliers to move hot, welded workpieces.
ATTENTION: With MIG welding, we recommend a material thickness of 2.0 mm to 3.0 mm when
welding aluminium and a thickness of 0.8 mm – 3.0 mm when welding iron/steel.
Please proceed as follows once you have electrically connected the
welding device:
Connect the earth cable to
Please ensure good electrical conductivity.
The area to be welded on the workpiece must be free of rust and paint.
Choose the desired welding current depending on the welding wire diameter, material thickness and
desired penetration depth.
Guide the torch nozzle
Press the torch button
device feeds welding wire into the weld pool.
You can work out the ideal settings for the welding current by carrying out trial welds on a test
piece. A properly set electric arc has a mild, uniform buzzing sound.
In case of a rough or hard rattle, switch to a higher power level (increase welding current).
If the welding lens is big enough, the torch
The distance between the torch nozzle and workpiece should be as small as possible (it must not be
greater than 10 mm).
If necessary, oscillate a little to increase the size of the weld pool. For inexperienced welders, it
is often difficult initially to create a decent electric arc. To do so, the welding current must be set
correctly.
The penetration depth (corresponds to the depth of the welding seam in the material) should be as
deep as possible without allowing the welding pool to fall through the workpiece.
If the welding current is too low, the welding wire will not melt properly.
Consequently, the welding wire repeatedly dips in the welding pool as far as the workpiece.
The slag can only be removed from the seam once it has cooled down.
To continue welding an interrupted seam:
First remove the slag at the starting point.
The arc is ignited in the weld groove, guided to the connection point, melted properly and finally the
weld seam is continued.
Setting appropriate parameters for current and voltage for welding
aluminium with aluminium wire.
For welding aluminium we recommend using lower voltages than you would use for welding iron/steel.
To set the appropriate voltage range, you can proceed as follows: prepare the device as described
under "Adaptation of device to solid welding wire with inert gas". To weld aluminium wire select the
setting "1.0/Al(5356)" by pressing the welding mode selector key
aluminium sheet you can set 14.5 Volt and a current of 91 Amps. In this case you can also use SYN mode,
as described in the section about Selecting the welding mode. The optimum welding settings should be
determined by welding on a sample workpiece.
