4. Setup
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the welder and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Power Connection: Connect the welder to a suitable 220V AC power supply. Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and can handle the rated input power of 4KW.
- Electrode Holder Connection: Connect the electrode holder cable to the positive (+) terminal on the welder. Ensure a secure connection.
- Ground Clamp Connection: Connect the ground clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the welder. Ensure a secure connection.
- Workpiece Grounding: Attach the ground clamp securely to the workpiece, ensuring good electrical contact. The ground clamp should be as close to the welding area as possible.
- Electrode Insertion: Insert the welding electrode into the electrode holder. Ensure the electrode is firmly gripped.
5. Operating Instructions
- Power On: Turn on the main power switch on the welder. The digital display will illuminate.
- Current Adjustment: Use the current regulation knob to set the desired welding current (20-250A). Refer to electrode manufacturer guidelines for recommended current settings based on electrode type and material thickness.
- Arc Striking: Gently tap or scratch the electrode against the workpiece to strike an arc. Avoid sticking the electrode.
- Welding: Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed. Move the electrode steadily along the joint, ensuring proper penetration and bead formation.
- Power Off: After welding, turn off the main power switch. Allow the machine to cool down before storing.
Tips for Optimal Welding:
- Clean the workpiece thoroughly before welding to remove rust, paint, or grease.
- Practice on scrap material to get a feel for the machine and current settings.
- Ensure proper ventilation to disperse welding fumes.
6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your welding machine.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the internal components of the welder using compressed air to remove dust and metal particles. Ensure the power is disconnected before cleaning.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect welding cables, electrode holder, and ground clamp for damage, fraying, or loose connections. Replace damaged components immediately.
- Ventilation Grilles: Keep the ventilation grilles clear of obstructions to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
- Storage: Store the welder in a dry, clean environment, away from moisture and corrosive materials.
7. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to the machine | Power cord unplugged, circuit breaker tripped, faulty power switch | Check power cord connection, reset circuit breaker, contact service if switch is faulty |
| No arc or weak arc | Poor ground connection, incorrect current setting, damp electrode, faulty cable | Ensure good ground contact, adjust current, use dry electrodes, inspect cables |
| Electrode sticks to workpiece | Low current setting, incorrect arc length, damp electrode | Increase current, maintain proper arc length, use dry electrodes |
| Overheating indicator on | Exceeded duty cycle, blocked ventilation | Allow machine to cool down, clear ventilation grilles |
