2. Informazioni sulla sicurezza

ATTENZIONE: la saldatura può essere pericolosa. Seguire sempre le precauzioni di sicurezza per prevenire lesioni o morte.

• La scossa elettrica può uccidere: Non toccare parti elettriche sotto tensione. Indossare guanti da saldatura asciutti e indumenti protettivi. Assicurarsi che la saldatrice sia correttamente messa a terra.
• Fumi e gas possono essere pericolosi: Keep your head out of the fumes. Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases away from your breathing zone and the general area.
• I raggi dell'arco possono bruciare gli occhi e la pelle: Wear a welding helmet with a proper shade of filter to protect your face and eyes when welding or watching. Wear appropriate eye protection with side shields. Wear protective clothing made from durable, flame-resistant material.
• Rischio di incendio ed esplosione: Rimuovere tutti i materiali infiammabili dall'area di saldatura. Tenere un estintore nelle vicinanze. Non saldare su contenitori che hanno contenuto materiali combustibili.
• Le parti calde possono causare gravi ustioni: Allow hot parts to cool before touching. Wear insulated welding gloves and protective clothing to prevent burns.
• I campi magnetici possono influenzare i pacemaker: I portatori di pacemaker devono consultare il proprio medico prima di procedere alla saldatura.
• Il rumore può danneggiare l'udito: Indossare protezioni acustiche se i livelli di rumore sono elevati.

5. Impostazione

Follow these steps to set up your AZZUNO TIG-180L welder for operation:

1. Collegamento elettrico: Connect the power cable to the appropriate voltage supply (110V or 220V). Use the provided 110V~220V adapter if necessary.
2. Terra Clamp: Attacca il terreno clamp cable to the designated terminal on the welder and securely fasten the clamp al pezzo da lavorare o al tavolo di saldatura.
3. Portaelettrodo (per saldatura a elettrodo): For stick welding, connect the electrode holder cable to the appropriate terminal.
4. Torcia TIG: Connect the TIG torch to the welder. Ensure all connections are secure.
5. Tubo del gas: Connect the gas hose from your shielding gas cylinder (not included) to the gas inlet on the welder. Secure with hose bands.
6. Accensione: Accendere la saldatrice tramite l'interruttore principale.

6. Modalità operative

The AZZUNO TIG-180L offers five distinct welding modes:

• TIG DC HF: Direct Current High-Frequency TIG welding for precise welds on various metals, excluding aluminum.
• TIG PULSATO: Offers greater control and cleaner welds, especially on thin metals, by cycling between high and low ampera.
• COLD TIG: Minimizes heat input, reducing distortion and preventing burn-through on delicate or heat-sensitive materials like stainless steel and thin sheet metal.
• SPOT TIG: Ideal for tack welding or creating small, precise spot welds.
• BASTONE (MMA): Manual Metal Arc welding for general-purpose welding with coated electrodes.

7. Istruzioni per l'uso

The large LED display simplifies parameter adjustments for precise control.

1. Selezione della modalità: Use the 'MODE' button on the control panel to cycle through the available welding modes (MMA, TIG, COLD, TIG-P, SPOT).
2. Regolazione dei parametri: Once a mode is selected, use the rotary knob and corresponding buttons to adjust parameters such as amperage, pulse frequency, weld time, pre-flow, and post-flow. The large LED screen will clearly display the current settings.
3. Funzione di memoria: The welder features a memory function to save and recall up to 10 custom welding parameter sets. Use the 'RECORD' and 'SAVE' functions to store your preferred settings for different materials or tasks, improving efficiency and consistency.
4. Doppio volumetage Operazione: La macchina rileva automaticamente il volume di ingressotage (110V or 220V). Ensure the correct power cable and adapter are used for your power source.

8. Manutenzione

Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali della vostra saldatrice:

• Pulizia: Pulire periodicamente l'esterno della macchina con un panno asciutto. Assicurarsi che le prese d'aria di raffreddamento siano libere da polvere e detriti per evitare il surriscaldamento.
• Ispezione dei cavi: Regularly inspect all cables (power, ground, electrode, TIG torch) for any signs of damage, cuts, or frayed insulation. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Materiali di consumo per torcia TIG: Check and replace ceramic cups, collets, and collet bodies as they wear out to maintain arc stability and weld quality.
• Tubo del gas: Ensure the gas hose connections are tight and free from leaks.
• Magazzinaggio: Conservare la saldatrice in un ambiente pulito e asciutto, lontano da polvere eccessiva, umidità e temperature estreme.

9. Risoluzione Dei Problemi

In caso di problemi, fare riferimento ai seguenti suggerimenti comuni per la risoluzione dei problemi:

• Nessun potere: Check the power cable connection, ensure the power switch is ON, and verify the circuit breaker.
• Nessun arco: Garantire il terreno clamp is securely attached to the workpiece. Check TIG torch connections and consumables. Verify proper gas flow.
• Arco instabile: Inspect TIG torch consumables for wear. Ensure proper gas flow and correct amperage settings for the material and thickness.
• Surriscaldamento: If the overload indicator lights up, allow the machine to cool down. Ensure cooling vents are clear and the duty cycle is not exceeded.
• Scarsa qualità della saldatura: Check for proper material preparation, correct gas type and flow rate, appropriate filler rod, and optimal welding parameters for the selected mode.
