5. Nastavení

Follow these steps to set up your welding machine for operation:

1. Připojení napájení: Ensure the welder is connected to a stable 110V power supply. Verify that the power outlet can handle the required ampvymazat.
2. Připojení držáku elektrody: Connect the electrode holder cable to the negative ("-") terminal on the front panel of the welder. Securely twist the connector into place.
3. Pozemní Clamp Spojení: Připojte zem třamp cable to the positive ("+") terminal on the front panel of the welder. Securely twist the connector into place.
4. Vložte elektrodu: Insert the welding electrode (rod) into the electrode holder. Ensure it is firmly gripped.
5. (Optional) TIG Torch Connection: If performing Lift TIG welding, connect the WP17V TIG Torch (sold separately) to the positive ("+") terminal and the gas line (if applicable) to the appropriate gas inlet.

6. Návod k obsluze

6.1 Ovládací panel Overview

The welder features a user-friendly control panel with a digital LCD screen and a multi-function knob for mode selection and parameter adjustment.

• Digitální LCD obrazovka: Displays current welding parameters (amperage), selected mode (MMA/Lift TIG), and status indicators (Arc Force, Hot Start, Anti-Stick, VRD, ERR).
• Rotate and Confirm Knob: Used to navigate through settings and adjust amperage. Press to confirm selections.

6.2 Svařování MMA (obloukové)

This mode is used for stick welding with coated electrodes.

1. Vyberte režim MMA: Use the control knob to select "MMA" on the digital display.
2. Soubor Amperage: Upravte amperage according to the electrode type and thickness of the material being welded. Recommended rods are E6010/E6011/E6013, below 3.2 mm.
3. Příprava obrobku: Ensure the workpiece is clean and the ground clamp is securely attached to it, providing good electrical contact.
4. Začněte svařovat: Strike the arc by lightly touching the electrode to the workpiece and quickly lifting it slightly to establish the arc. Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
5. Vlastnosti: The built-in Hot Start, Arc Force, and Anti-Stick features will assist in smooth arc ignition, stable arc, and preventing electrode sticking.
