3.07 Setup for Welding
NOTE
Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source, i.e. connect
work lead directly to work piece and electrode lead is used to hold electrode. Wide safety margins
provided by the design ensure that the Welding Power Source will withstand short-term overload
without adverse effects. The welding current range values should be used as a guide only. Current
delivered to the arc is dependent on the welding arc voltage, and as welding arc voltage varies
between different classes of electrodes, welding current at any one setting would vary according to
the type of electrode in use. The operator should use the welding current range values as a guide
then fine tune the welding current to suit the application.
!
WARNING
Before connecting the work clamp to the work and inserting the electrode in the electrode holder
make sure the Primary power supply is switched off.
CAUTION
Remove any packaging material prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front or rear of the
Welding Power Source.
