2. Bezpečnostní informace
Welding operations involve inherent risks. Adherence to safety precautions is crucial to prevent injury or damage to property. Always consult local safety regulations and standards.
- Elektrický šok: Welding current can cause fatal electric shock. Ensure proper grounding of the equipment. Wear dry, insulated gloves and protective clothing. Do not touch live electrical parts.
- Výpary a plyny: Welding produces fumes and gases that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area or use local exhaust ventilation. Avoid breathing fumes.
- Obloukové paprsky: Arc rays can burn eyes and skin. Always wear a welding helmet with appropriate filter lenses and protective clothing (long sleeves, heavy pants, leather gloves).
- Požár a výbuch: Jiskry ze svařování a horký kov mohou způsobit požár nebo výbuch. Udržujte hořlavé materiály mimo dosah svařovacího prostoru. Mějte po ruce hasicí přístroj.
- Popáleniny: Hot metal and slag can cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing and handle hot materials with appropriate tools.
- Kardiostimulátory: Individuals with pacemakers should consult their doctor before welding. Electromagnetic fields can interfere with pacemakers.

- Osobní ochranné prostředky (OOP): Always wear appropriate PPE, including a welding helmet, welding gloves, flame-resistant clothing, and safety shoes.
5. Návod k obsluze
This section outlines the basic steps for operating the Telwin Tecnica 188 MPGE for MMA and TIG welding.
5.1. MMA (Shielded Metal Arc) Welding
- Zapnutí: Zapněte svářecí stroj hlavním vypínačem.
- Vyberte režim svařování: Ensure the machine is set to MMA mode (if applicable, some machines auto-detect or have a switch).
- Nastavený proud: Upravte svařovací proud (amperage) according to the electrode type and diameter, and the thickness of the material being welded. Refer to electrode manufacturer recommendations.
- Příprava obrobku: Ujistěte se, že je obrobek čistý, bez rzi, barvy a mastnoty.
- Udeřte oblouk: With the welding helmet down, gently scratch the electrode tip against the workpiece to initiate the arc. Once the arc is established, maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
- Svar: Move the electrode along the joint, maintaining the arc and depositing weld metal.
- Dokončit: When the weld is complete, break the arc by quickly pulling the electrode away. Allow the weld to cool before handling.
5.2. TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Welding (Scratch Start DC)
The Tecnica 188 MPGE supports TIG welding with scratch striking. This method requires careful technique to avoid contaminating the tungsten electrode.
- Zapnutí a výběr režimu: Turn on the welder and select TIG mode.
- Průtok plynu: Open the gas cylinder valve and set the gas flow rate on the regulator (typically 5-10 liters/minute for Argon).
- Nastavený proud: Adjust the welding current for TIG welding based on material thickness and tungsten electrode size.
- Prepare Tungsten: Ensure the tungsten electrode is properly ground to a sharp point.
- Scratch Start: With the welding helmet down, gently touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece and quickly lift it a small distance (1-3mm) to establish the arc. Avoid sticking the tungsten to the workpiece.
- Svar: Maintain a consistent arc length and angle. Feed filler rod into the weld puddle as needed.
- Dokončit: Gradually reduce the arc length or quickly pull the torch away to extinguish the arc. Maintain gas flow over the hot tungsten and weld puddle for a few seconds after the arc stops to prevent oxidation.
