GENERAL
These welders are composed of a monophase transformer
with a drooping characteristic, and are suitable for welding
in alternate current using stick electrodes (type E 43R).
Welding current may be regulated with continuity, using a
manual magnetic shunt (1).
The value of the current (I ) may be read on the Amp.
graduated scale (2) on the upper panel, and corresponds to
the voltage of the arc (U ) according to the equation:

U = (18 + 0,04 I ) V (EN 50060).

THERMOSTATIC PROTECTION
This welder is automatically protected from thermic
overheating (thermostat automatic re-start). When the
windings reach performance temperature, the protections
cut off the supply circuit, igniting the yellow lamp on the front
panel (3). After a few minutes' cooling the protection will
reopen the supply line and turn off the yellow lamp. The
welder is ready for further use.
INSTALLATION
SITE
Locate the machine in an area where openings for cooling
air are not obstructed (forced circulation with fan); check that
conductive dusts, corrosive vapours, humidity etc., will not
enter machine.
CONNECTION TO MAINS
-
Before making any electrical connection check that the
mains voltage ratings of the data table correspond with the
voltage of the workplace. The machine is to be fed with two
conductors (2 phases or phase-neutral) plus a third
separate one designed for the protective earth connection
(PE); this conductor is coloured yellow/green.
For welders with double voltage supply, it is necessary to set
the blocking screw of the voltage-reverse switch in the
position corre sponding to the voltage really available (see
example below).

WARNING
Failure to observe the above rules will make ineffective
the safety system installed by the manufacturer (Class
1) with resulting risks for persons (eg. electric shock)
and objects (eg. fires).
REPLACING THE POWER SUPPLY CABLE
THIS OPERATION MUST BE CARRIED OUT BY
SKILLED PERSONNEL!
Before replacing the cable, find the screw connection
terminals
L1 and L2 on the rocker switch and/or rotary switch. (Fig - D)
CONNECTION OF THE WELDING CABLES
- WORK CABLE
This must be directly connected to the workpiece or the
work bench. WARNING!: make sure contact to
workpiece is adequate by avoiding varnished surfaces
and/or non-metallic materials.
N.B.: For welders with clamp this cable must be connected
to the clamp with this symbol:
- COLLET CABLE
This has a special clamp on the terminal to attach to the
