tion of this tool must be performed by trained per-

sonnel.

KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN!

Intended Use

This unit is intended for self-shielded ﬂux-cored arc

welding using the appropriate wire. Additional gas

is not required. The inert gas is contained in a pow-

dered form in the wire, is therefore fed directly into

the arc, and this makes the tool wind-resistant while

working outdoors. Only suitable wire electrodes may

be used for the unit. Intended use also involves ob-

serving the safety instructions, assembly instructions

and operating instructions in the instruction manual.

The applicable accident prevention regulations are

to be adhered to as strictly as possible. The unit

may not be used:

- in insuﬃciently ventilated spaces,

- in a damp or wet environment,

- in explosive environments,

- for the purposes of thawing pipes,

- in the vicinity of people with pacemakers and

- in the vicinity of inﬂammable materials.

Only use the product as described and for the

speciﬁed purpose. Keep these instructions in a safe

place. When passing this product on to others, please

also include all the documents. Any use other than

the intended is prohibited and potentially dangerous.

Damages resulting from noncompliance or misuse

are not covered by the warranty and are not included

in the manufacturer's liability.

Residual risk

Even if you use the unit correctly, there will always

be residual risks. The following hazards can arise

due to the design and performance of this ﬂux-cored

arc welding unit:

- Eye damage due to being dazzled,

- Touching hot parts of the unit or the work piece

(burns),

- In the case of insuﬃcient protection, a risk of

accidents and ﬁre exists due to sparks or slag,

- Harmful gas and smoke emissions in the case of a

lack of air and / or insuﬃcient extraction in enclosed

spaces.

Reduce the residual risk by using the unit carefully

and correctly and following all the instructions as

9 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructions

During use the equipment should

not be located directly against a

wall, be covered, or be jammed

between other equipment to en-

sure ample air can be taken in

through the ventilation louvres.

Verify the equipment is correctly

connected to the mains voltage.

Avoid any tensile load on the

mains. Unplug the mains plug

from the socket before transfer-

ring the equipment to a diﬀerent

location.

Always switch the equipment oﬀ

with the ON / OFF switch when

not in use. Set the electrode

holder down on an insulated

pad and allow to cool for

15 minutes before removing the

electrodes from the holder.

Pay attention to the condition of

the welding cables, the electrode

holders and the earth terminals.

Worn insulation and conducting

parts can produce hazards and

reduce the welding quality.

Arc welding produces sparks,

melted metal parts and smoke.

Therefore note: Remove any

ﬂammable substances and / or

materials from the work area

and its immediate surroundings.

Ensure the work area is ventilated.

Do not weld atop containers, re-

ceptacles or pipes, which do or

did contain ﬂammable liquids or

gasses.

Avoid any

direct contact with the welding

circuit. The no-load voltage be-

tween the electrode holder and

earth terminal can be danger-

ous, there is a risk of electric

shock.

Do not store or use the equipment

in a moist or wet environment or

in the rain. The Protection Provision

IP21S applies in this respect.

Protect the eyes with the appro-

priate safety glass (DIN Grad

9-10) to be installed in the

included welding shield. Use

gloves and dry protective cloth-

ing free from oil and grease to

protect the skin from ultraviolet

rays and the arc.

Do not use the

welding power source to thaw

pipes.

Remember:

The arc ray can damage the

eyes and cause burns to the skin.

Arc welding produces sparks and

drops of molten metal, the welded

work piece begins to glow and

remains very hot for a relatively

Safety instructionsSafety instructions

long time. Therefore do not touch

the work piece with bare hands.

Arc welding releases noxious

fumes. Be careful not to inhale

these as best possible.

Protect yourself from the danger-

ous eﬀects of the arc and keep

persons not involved in the work

at least 2 m away from the arc.

ATTENTION!

Depending on mains conditions

at the connection point, operat-

ing the welding equipment may

interfere with the voltage supply

for other loads. When in doubt,

please contact your power sup-

ply company.

Operating the welding equipment

may interfere with the functional-

ity of other devices, e.g. hearing

aids, pacemakers, etc.

Safety hazards

during arc welding

Arc welding produces a variety of

safety hazards. It is therefore par-

ticularly important for the welder to

observe the following rules to avoid

putting himself and others in danger

and to prevent damage to persons

and the equipment

Only have work to the mains

voltage end, e.g. to cables, plugs,

outlets, etc. performed by a elec-

trically skilled person in accord-

ance with national and local

regulations.

In the event of an accident, im-

mediately disconnect the welding

equipment from the mains voltage.

If electrical contact voltage occurs,

immediately switch the equipment

oﬀ and have it inspected by an

electrically skilled person.

Always ensure good electrical

contacts on the welding current

end.

Always wear insulating gloves on

both hands whilst welding. These

will protect from electric shock

(no-load voltage of the welding

current), from hazardous rays

(heat and UV rays) and glowing

metal and weld splashes.

Wear solid, insulating shoes. The

shoes should also insulate when

exposed to moisture. Low shoes

are not suitable, as glowing metal

drops falling could cause burns.

Wear suitable protective clothing,

no synthetic garments.

Do not look into the arc with

unprotected eyes, only use a

welding shield with approved

protective glass per DIN. In

11 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructions

addition to light- and heat rays

which could result in blinding or

burns, the arc also emits UV rays.

Without adequate protection,

this invisible ultraviolet radiation

causes very painful conjunctivitis

which is only noticed a few hours

later. UV rays further cause burns

similar to a sunburn in unprotected

areas of the body.

Persons near the arc or assistants

must also be informed of the risks

and outﬁtted with the necessary

protection. If necessary, set up

protective panels.

Ensure an adequate supply of

fresh air whilst welding,

particu-

larly in small spaces, as it produces

smoke and harmful gasses.

Do not weld containers in which

gasses, fuels, mineral oils, etc.

were stored - even if emptied a

long time ago - as residue poses

an explosion hazard.

Special regulations apply in rooms

posing ﬁre- and explosion hazards.

Welded joints exposed to great

strain and needing to meet cer-

tain safety requirements must be

made by specially trained and

certiﬁed welders. Examples are

pressure vessels, running rails,

tow couplings, etc.

ATTENTION! Always connect

the earth terminal as close as

possible to the point of weld to

provide the shortest possible path

for the welding current from the

electrode to the earth terminal.

Never connect the earth terminal

to the housing of the welding

equipment!

Never connect the earth terminal

to earthed parts far away from

the work piece, e.g. a water pipe

in another corner of the room. This

could otherwise damage the

protective bonding system of the

room you are welding.

Do not use the welding equipment

in the rain.

Do not use the welding equipment

in a moist environment.

Only place the welding equip-

ment in a level location.

The output is rated at an ambient

temperature of 20 °C. The weld-

ing time may be reduced in

higher temperatures.

Danger of electric shock:

Electric shock from a weld-

ing electrode can be fatal.

Do not weld in rain or snow. Wear

dry insulating gloves. Do not touch

the electrode with bare hands. Do

not wear wet or damaged gloves.

Safety instructions

12 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructionsSafety instructions

Protect yourself from electric shock

by insulating from the work piece.

Do not open the equipment housing.

Danger due to welding

smoke:

Inhaling welding smoke can jeop-

ardize your health. Keep your head

out of the smoke. Use facilities in

open areas. Use ventilation to remove

smoke.

Danger due to welding

sparks:

Welding sparks can cause an

explosion or ﬁre. Keep ﬂammables

away from the welding area. Do

not weld next to ﬂammables. Weld-

ing sparks can cause a ﬁre. Keep a

ﬁre extinguisher nearby and an ob-

server ready to use it. Do not weld

on top of drums or any closed con-

tainers.

Danger due to arc rays:

Arc rays can damage the eyes and

injure the skin. Wear a hat and

safety goggles. Wear hearing

protection and a closed, high shirt

collar. Wear welding helmets and

proper ﬁlter sizes. Wear full per-

sonal protection.

Danger due to electromag-

netic ﬁelds:

Welding current produces electro-

magnetic ﬁelds. Do not use along

with medical implants. Never wrap

the welding cables around the

body. Consolidate welding cables.

Safety notices speciﬁc to

the welding shield

Using a hot light source (e.g.

lighter) always check the weld-

ing shield is working properly

before starting to weld.

Welding splashes can damage

the glass shield. Replace dam-

aged or scratched glass shields

immediately.

Promptly replace damaged or

heavily soiled / splashed compo-

nents.

The equipment may only be

operated by persons who have

turned 16.

Familiarise yourself with the safety

instructions for welding. Also refer

to the safety instructions of your

welding equipment.

Always use the welding shield

when welding. Failure to use the

shield may result in serious inju-

ries to the retina.

13 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructions

Always wear protective clothing

when welding.

Never use the welding shield

without protective glass, as the

optics can otherwise be damaged.

Replace the protective glass

early to ensure good visibility

and fatigue-proof working.

Tight and moist spaces

When working in tight, moist or

hot spaces, use insulating pads

and intermediate layers in addi-

tion to gauntlet gloves made from

leather or other insulating mate-

rials to insulate the body from

earth.

When using welding equipment

in electrically dangerous condi-

tions, e.g. in tight spaces from

conductive walls (kettles, pipes,

etc.), in wet spaces (soaking of

work clothes), the output voltages

of the welding equipment may

not be higher than 48 Volts (rms

value) in open loop. Based on

the output voltage this welding

equipment may be used in these

conditions.

Protective clothing

Whilst working the welder must

be protected against rays and

burns all over the body with the

appropriate clothing and face

protection. Remember the follow-

ing steps:

- Put on protective clothing before

welding.

- Put on gloves.

- Open windows or vent to ensure

air supply.

- Wear safety goggles and a

mask.

Wear gauntlet gloves made

from suitable material (leather)

on both hands. These must be in

good condition.

Wear suitable aprons to protect

the clothing from sparks and

burns. When required based on

the working method, e.g. welding

overhead, wear a protective suit

and, if necessary, a head guard.

Protecting against

rays and burns

Mark the work area with a

sign „Danger! Do not look into

ﬂames!“ to indicate the risk to

the eyes. If possible, shield the

work areas to protect persons

nearby. Keep unauthorised per-

sons away from the welding area.

Walls in the direct vicinity of ﬁxed

work areas should be neither

light coloured nor glossy.

Protect windows against rays

passing through or reﬂecting at

a minimum to head height, e.g.

with suitable paint.

EMC Device Classiﬁcation

This is a welding unit with Class A

electromagnetic compatibility in ac-

cordance with the IEC 60974-10

standard. Therefore, it fulﬁls the ap-

plicable requirements for industrial

and domestic use. It may be con-

nected to the public low voltage

electricity supply in residential areas.

Even when the ﬂux-cored arc weld-

ing unit complies with standardized

emission thresholds, electric arc

welding units may cause electro-

magnetic interference in sensitive

systems and devices.

The user is responsible and must

undertake the appropriate safety

measures for interference which

results from arcs during the welding

process. In doing so, the user must

take the following into account in

particular:

- Power, control, signal and tele-

communications cables

- Computers and other microproces-

sor-controlled devices

- Televisions, radios and other play-

back devices

- Electronic and electric safety

equipment

- People with pacemakers or hearing

aids

- Measuring devices and calibration

devices

- Interference immunity of other

devices in the vicinity

- The time of day during which

welding work is being carried out.

To reduce potential interference

radiation, it is recommended that

you:

- Equip the mains connection with a

mains ﬁlter or shield it with a metal

pipe

- Regularly perform maintenance

work on the ﬂux-cored arc welding

unit and keep it in good condition

- Weld cables should be as short

as possible, fully unwound and

run as parallel on the ground as

possible

- Potential equalization should be

provided

15 GB/IE/NI

Safety instructions / Before Use / Assembly

- The work pieces should be prop-

erly earthed

- Devices and systems susceptible

to interference radiation should be

removed from the welding area if

possible or shielded.

To prevent the hazard of an

electrical shock, injury or damage, pull the mains

plug from the socket before maintainance or pre-

paring for work.

Initial Use

Switching the unit on and oﬀ

Switch the welding unit on and oﬀ using the

main switch

. If you do not use the welding

unit for an extended period, pull the plug out

of the mains socket. It is only then that the unit

will not be supplied with any current.

Adjusting the welding current

You can adjust the desired welding current using

the switches

on the front of the welding unit.

If, for example, the MIN switch

and switch 1

are up, the welding current amounts to 40 A and

the duty cycle is 60 %.

If, for example, the MAX switch

and switch 2

are down, the welding current amounts to 90 A

and the duty cycle is 10 %.

The required welding current depends on the weld-

ing wire diameter, the material thickness and the

desired weld penetration depth.

Adjusting the wire feeder

To achieve a consistent weld, the adjustment wheel

for the wire feeder

can be used to ﬁnely adjust

the wire feeder. It is recommended that you start

with a setting in the centre position and reduce or

increase the speed if necessary.

The required welding current depends on the weld-

ing wire diameter used, the material thickness, the

desired weld penetration depth and the gaps to be

bridged on the work pieces to be welded.

Overload protection

The welding unit is protected against thermal over-

load with an automatic protective device (thermostat

with an autorecloser). The overload protection inter-

rupts the process when the circuit has been over-

loaded and the yellow control lamp

illuminates.

If the protective device has been activated, al-

low the unit to cool down (approx. 15 minutes).

As soon as the yellow control lamp for overload

19 GB/IE/NI

Initial Use

protection

turns oﬀ, the unit is ready to use

once more.

Welding helmet

HEALTH HAZARD! If you

do not use the welding helmet, harmful UV rays

and heat emitting from the arc can damage your

eyesight.

Always use the welding helmet when you weld.

Welding

RISK OF BURNS! Hot,

welded work pieces are very hot, meaning that you

can burn yourselves on them.

Always use a pliers to move hot, welded work

pieces.

After you have connected the welding

unit to the electricity supply, proceed as

follows:

Connect the earth cable with the earth terminal

to the work piece to be welded.

Ensure that good electrical contact exists.

The workpiece should be free of rust and paint

on the area to be welded.

Select the desired welding current and the wire

feeder depending on welding wire diameter,

material thickness and desired weld penetra-

tion depth.

Switch on the unit.

Hold the welding helmet

in front of your

face and lead the burner nozzle

along the

area of the work piece to be welded.

Press the burner button

to generate an arc.

When the arc burns, the unit feeds wire into the

weld pool.

If the welding spot is big enough, the burner

is slowly led along the desired edge.

The gap between the burner nozzle and work

piece should be as small as possible (in any

case, no more than 10 mm).

If necessary, oscillate it gently to enlarge the

weld pool somewhat. For those who are less

experienced, it can be diﬃcult to form a decent

arc i.e. the correct setting for the welding current

and wire feeder speed.

You can ﬁgure out the best welding current and

wire feeder speed settings by practicing on a

test piece. A well-adjusted arc has a soft, steady

humming sound.

The weld penetration depth should be as deep

as possible, however, the weld pool should not

fall through the work piece.

In the case of rough or harsh rattling, decrease

the wire feeder speed or switch to a higher

power setting (increase welding current).

If the wire feeder speed is too high and / or the

welding current is too low, the welding wire

may not melt properly and may dip into the

welding seam and into the work piece.

A quiet, dull sound with a ﬂickering arc indicates

too low a wire feed.

Increase the wire feeder speed or switch to a

lower welding current.

The wire melts even before it has reached the

welding seam with a welding current that is too

high. The result is that drops form on the welding

wire, as well as spraying and an inconsistent

arc.

The slag may only be removed from the seam

when it has cooled down.

To continue the welding process on an inter-

rupted seam:

Firstly, remove the slag from the point of attach-

ment.

Ignite the arc in the weld groove, lead it to the

connection point, properly melt the material

there and then continue along the welding

seam.

CAUTION! Ensure that the burner is always

put down on an insulated surface after welding.

Always switch the welding unit after ﬁnishing

welding work and during breaks, and always

pull the mains plug out of the socket.

Creating a welding seam

Spot-welded seam or forehand welding

The burner is pushed forwards.

Result: The penetration depth is lower, seam width

is larger, weld bead is ﬂatter and fault tolerance is

greater.

Pull-welded seam or backhand welding

The burner is pulled away from the welding seam.

Result: The penetration depth is higher, seam width

is smaller, weld bead is higher and the fault tolerance

is lower.

Welded joints

There are two basic joint types in welding technology:

butt welding and angle welding (outside edge, in-

side edge and overlapping).

Butt welded joints

For butt welded joints up to 2mm thick, the welding

edges are brought together completely.

For larger thicknesses, see the table below:

Flat butt welded joints

Welding processes should be carried out without

interruption and with a suﬃcient penetration depth.

Therefore, good preparation is essential.

Factors which eﬀect the quality of the welding

results include: the welding current, the distance

between the welding edges, the burner tilt and the

respective welding wire diameter.

The steeper the burner is held in relation to the

work piece, the higher the penetration depth and

vice versa.

To forestall or reduce deformations which could

arise during material hardening it is a good idea

where possible to ﬁx the work pieces using a piece

of equipment which counteracts the contraction or

deformation of the material.

It is recommended that you avoid hardening the

welded structure to prevent fractures in the welded

seam. These diﬃculties can be reduced if you are

able to rotate the work piece in such a way that the

welding process can be carried out in two opposite

runs.

Welded joints on outside edges

Preparation for this is very simple.

However, this is not practical for stronger materials.

In this situation, it is better to prepare a joint as

depicted in the ﬁgure opposite, in which the edge

of a plate is angled.

45°

Welded joints on inside edges

Preparation for this welded joint is very simple and

can be carried out on materials up to 5mm thick.

The measurement "d" must be reduced to a minimum

and should in any case be less that 2mm.

However, this is not practical for stronger materials.

In this situation it is better to prepare a joint as de-

picted in Figure V, in which the edge of a plate is

angled.

90°

Overlapping welded joints

The most common preparation for this is to use

straight welding edges. The welding process can

be carried out with a normal angle weld seam. Both

work pieces must be brought together as closely as

possible.

Maintenance and Cleaning

Note: The welding tool requires regular maintena

nce

and reconditioning to work properly and to comply

with safety requirements. Improper and incorrect

operation may result in malfunctions and damage

the tool.

Switch oﬀ the main power supply and the main

switch on the device before maintaining or re-

pairing the welding tool.

Regularly clean the inside and outside of the

welding tool. Remove dirt and dust inside the

device with air, steel wool, or a brush.

Current regulators, earthing equipment, internal

cables, the blowpipe coupler and adjusting

screw should be maintained regularly. Tighten

loose screws and replace rusty screws.

Regularly check the leakage resistance of the

welding tool. Use suitable measuring instruments

for this purpose.

In the event of a defect or if components need

to be replaced, please contact the correspond-

ing professional.
