Igniting the electrode
Insert the electrode into the electrode holder by pressing the lever on the electrode holder. Hold the welder's shield in front
of your eyes/face before igniting the electrode.
Note: The proportion of eye-damaging UV radiation is especially high during ignition.
To ignite the electrode, move the electrode over the welding point in a similar manner to striking a match. The unloaded DC
voltage of about 85 V ignites the electrode very quickly (so-called hot start) and the DC voltage causes the electrode to melt
very evenly. If you are new to welding, do not expect a good result at the first attempt. Use waste plates for practice. If
necessary, take part in a welding course.
Sticking electrode
If the electrode does not ignite, or the arc breaks while welding, the electrode can stick to the welding point. This situation
is recognized by the device electronics and the welding current is automatically reduced. This allows you to easily and quickly
free the stuck electrode from the welding point by moving it backwards and forwards. At the same time, you will hear a
clicking sound coming from the device and the LED display will blink. A short circuit between the electrode cable and the
earth cable is also indicated by the device in this manner. In the rare situations where the electrode cannot be easily and
quickly removed from the welding point, open the lever on the electrode holder and remove the electrode holder from the
stuck electrode. Remove the stuck electrode from the welding point using a pair of pliers. Be careful when touching partially
welded electrodes, since they can be very hot.
Overload protection and switch-on duration
The overload protection: the arc is extinguished; the device no longer ignites the electrode and the yellow LED illuminates.
Do not switch off the device, just wait for 4 to 5 minutes until the internal fan has sufficiently cooled the semiconductor
heatsink within the device and the green LED illuminates again. Only then can you continue welding or completely switch
off the device.
Note: To preserve the semiconductors within the device (from heat accumulation), do not immediately switch off the device
after an overload but rather wait a few minutes before switching off, as described above.
Automatic welding current regulation
The device electronics provide an even welding current, which recognizably improves your welding results. This allows even
beginners to very quickly produce satisfactory welds.
