3.2 Gas Connection (for MIG/MAG welding)

If performing MIG/MAG welding, an external shielding gas cylinder is required. For flux-cored welding, no external gas is needed.

Connect the gas hose from your shielding gas cylinder (not included) to the gas inlet connector on the rear panel of the welding machine.

Front and rear panels of the welding machine with MIG torch — Figure 4: Front and rear panels. The image shows the front control panel with output connections and the rear panel with the gas inlet (labeled 'GAS' with a diameter of 8.5 mm) and power switch, along with the connected MIG torch.

3.3 Wire Spool Installation

Open the side panel of the welding machine to access the wire spool compartment.
Place the wire spool onto the spool holder. Ensure the wire unwinds in the correct direction. The machine supports wire spools from 0.5 kg to 5 kg.
Thread the welding wire through the wire feeder mechanism. Ensure it passes through the guide tube and into the drive rollers.
Close the drive roller tension arm and adjust the tension knob to apply appropriate pressure to the wire. The wire should feed smoothly without slipping or being crushed.

4.1 Fampandehanana ankapobeny

After completing all connections, switch the power button to 'ON'.
Select the desired welding process (MIG/MAG, MMA, or Flux-Cored) using the mode selection switch on the control panel.
Adjust welding parameters (current, voltage, wire speed) according to the material thickness and welding process. The synergic control knob simplifies this by suggesting optimal settings, which can then be fine-tuned manually.

4.2 MIG/MAG welding

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding use a continuously fed wire electrode and an external shielding gas to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. The choice of gas depends on the material being welded.

Ensure the gas cylinder is connected and the gas flow rate is set appropriately.
Select MIG/MAG mode.
Ahitsio voltage sy ny hafainganam-pandeha fahana.
Maintain a consistent torch angle and travel speed for optimal results.

4.3 Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

Flux-cored welding uses a tubular wire filled with flux, which produces its own shielding gas when burned, eliminating the need for an external gas cylinder. This makes it suitable for outdoor use or when gas cylinders are impractical.

Ensure flux-cored wire is loaded. No external gas connection is required.
Select Flux-Cored mode.
Ahitsio voltage sy ny hafainganam-pandeha fahana.
Clean slag from the weld after cooling.

4.4 MMA (Manual Metal Arc) Welding

MMA welding, also known as stick welding, uses a consumable electrode coated with flux. The flux creates a shielding gas and slag to protect the weld. This process does not require external shielding gas.

Insert the appropriate electrode into the electrode holder.
Safidio ny fomba MMA.
Adjust the welding current. The Hot Start function assists with arc ignition, and Arc Force helps maintain a stable arc.
Strike the arc and maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
Chip off slag after the weld has cooled.

4.5 Fiarovana fiarovana mandritra ny fandidiana

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a welding helmet with suitable shade, welding gloves, protective clothing, and safety shoes.
Ataovy izay hahazoana rivotra ampy tsara ao amin'ny faritra fanaovana "soudure" mba hanaparitahana ny setroka.
