5. Operating Instructions
Once the machine is set up and you are wearing appropriate safety gear, you can begin welding.
5.1 Powering On
After plugging in the machine, it will automatically power on. The LED display will illuminate, showing the current setting.
5.2 Adjusting Current
To adjust the output current (20-200 Amp), rotate the black knob located at the bottom of the welder. The LCD display will show the selected current in Amperes. Adjust the current according to the type and thickness of the material being welded and the welding rod specifications.
5.3 Welding Process
- Ensure your workpiece is clean and free of rust, paint, or grease.
- Hold the welder firmly and position the welding rod close to the workpiece.
- Strike an arc by lightly touching the rod to the workpiece and quickly lifting it slightly to maintain the arc.
- Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed to achieve a smooth and strong weld bead.
- Allow the weld to cool before handling.

- Storage: Store the welding machine and its accessories in the provided toolbox in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Electrode Holder/Rod Clip: Ensure the rod clip is clean and free of spatter to maintain good electrical contact.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your welding machine, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Machine does not power on | No power supply; Damaged power cord; Internal fault | Check power outlet and connections; Inspect power cord for damage; Contact customer support if problem persists. |
| No arc or weak arc | Poor ground connection; Incorrect current setting; Wet or old welding rod; Faulty rod clip | Ensure ground clamp is securely attached; Adjust current setting; Use dry, new welding rods; Clean or replace rod clip. |
| Overheating protection activated | Extended use; Blocked ventilation; High ambient temperature | Allow machine to cool down; Ensure ventilation holes are clear; Operate in a cooler environment. |
| Poor weld quality (porosity, spatter) | Incorrect current; Improper arc length or travel speed; Contaminated workpiece | Adjust current; Practice maintaining consistent arc and speed; Clean workpiece thoroughly. |
