Safety Rules

“Danger” indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

“Warning!” indicates a possible hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
The possible hazards are explained in the text.

“Caution” indicates a possible hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in slight or moderate injury.

“Note!” indicates a situation which implies a risk of impaired welding result and damage to the equipment.

“Important!”indicates practical tips and other useful special-message. It is no signal word for a harmful or dangerous
situation.

Utilisation for intended purpose only.The machine may only be used for jobs as defined by the “Intended purpose”.

Utilisation for any other purpose, or in any other manner, shall be deemed to be “not in accordance with the intended
purpose”. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damage resulting from such improper use.

Safety signs.All the safety instructions and danger warnings on the machine must be kept in legible condition, not
removed, not be covered, pasted or painted cover.

Safety inspection.The owner/operator is obliged to perform safety inspection at regular intervals.

The manufacturer also recommends every 3-6 months for regular maintenance of power sources.

Electric shock can kill.Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and
work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and machine internal circuits are
also live when power is on. In MIG/MAG welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire feed housing and all metal parts
touching the welding wire are electrically live. Incorrectly installed or improperly grounded equipment is a hazard.

Do not touch live electrical parts of the welding circuit, electrodes and wires with your bare skin or wet clothing.
The operator must wear dry hole-free insulating welding gloves and body protection while performs the welding.

Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulating protection which is large enough to prevent you full area
of physical contact with the work or ground.

Connect the primary input cable according to rules. Disconnect input power or stop machine before installing or
maintenance.

If welding must be performed under electrically hazardous conditions as follow: in damp locations or wearing wet
clothing; on metal structures such as floors, gratings, or scaffolds; when in cramped positions such as sitting,
kneeling, or lying; or in occasion when there is a high risk of unavoidable or accidental contact with the work piece or
ground. Must use additional safety precautions: semiautomatic DC constant voltage (wire) welder, DC manual
(Stick) welder and AC welder with reduced open-load voltage.

Maintain the electrode holder, ground clamp, welding cable and welding machine in good, safe operating condition.
Replace damaged part immediately.

Electric and magnetic fields (EMF) may be dangerous.If electromagnetic interference is found to be occurring,
the operator is obliged to examine any possible electromagnetic problems that may occur on equipment as follow:
- Minas, signal and data-transmission leads
- IT and telecoms equipment
- Measurement and calibration devices
- Wearers of pacemakers

Measures for minimizing or preventing EMC problems:


- Mains supply

2
If electromagnetic interference still occurs, despite the fact that the mains connection in accordance with the
regulations, take additional measures
- Welding cables

Keep these as short as possible.


Connect the work cable to the work piece as close as possible to the area being welded.
Lay them well away from other cables.
Do not place your body between your electrode and work cables.
- Equipotential bonding
- Workpiece grounding (earthing)
- Shielding

Shield the entire welding equipment and other equipment nearby.

ARC rays can burn.Visible and invisible rays can burn eyes and skin.

Wear an approved welding helmet or suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material (leather, heavy
cotton, or wool) to protect your eyes and skin from arc rays and sparks when welding or watching.

Use protective screens or barriers to protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and/or
warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter or material.

Fumes and gases can be dangerous.Welding may produce fumes and gases, breathing these fumes and gases
can be hazardous to your health.

When welding, keep your head out of the fume. If inside, ventilate the area at the arc to keep fumes and gases
away from the breathing zone. If ventilation is not good, wear an approved air-supplied respirator.

Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-supplied respirator.

Welding fumes and gases can displace air and lower the oxygen level causing injury or death. Always use enough
ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

Welding and cutting sparks can cause fire or explosion.When not welding, make sure the electrode circuit is not
touching the work or ground. Accidental contact can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Make sure the
area is safe before doing any welding.

Welding and cutting on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or containers, can cause them to blow up. Make
sure proper steps have been taken.

When pressure gas is used at the work site, special precautions are required to prevent hazardous situations.

Connect work cable to the work as close to the welding zone as practical to prevent welding current from passing
too long and creating fire hazards or overheat.

Wear oil-free protective garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuffless trousers, high shoes, and a cap.
Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places. Always wear safety glasses with side shields
when in a welding area.

Be attention that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to
adjacent areas and start a fire. Remove fire hazardous from the welding area, if not possible, cover them thoroughly.
Do not weld where flying sparks can strike flammable material and where the atmosphere may contain flammable
dust, gas, or liquid vapors (such as gasoline).

Protect yourself and others from flying sparks and hot metal. Remove any combustibles from operator before
perform any welding.

Keep a fire extinguisher readily available.

Empty containers, tanks, drums, or pipes which have combustibles before perform welding.

Remove stick electrode from electrode holder or cut off welding wire at contact tip when not in use.

Apply correct fuses or circuit breakers. Do not oversize or bypass them.

3
Cylinder can explode if damaged.Pressure gas cylinders contain gas under high pressure. If damaged, a
cylinder can explode. Since gas cylinders are normally part of the welding process, be sure to treat them carefully.

Cylinders should be located away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage. Use
proper equipment, procedures, and sufficient number of persons to lift and move cylinders.

Always install cylinders in an upright position by securing to a stationary support or cylinder rack to prevent falling
over or tipping.

Keep a safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of heat, sparks, or flame.

No touching cylinder by welding electrode, electrode holder or any other electrically “hot” parts. Do not drape
welding cables or welding torches over a gas cylinder.

Use only correct compressed gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the process used; maintain
them and associated parts in good condition.

Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the properly operating regulators
designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and
maintained in good condition.

Open the cylinder valve slowly and keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet.

Valve protection caps should be kept in place over valve expect when the cylinder is in use or connected for use.

Hot parts can burn.Do not touch hot parts with bare hand or skin.

Ensure equipment is cooled down before perform any work.

If touching hot parts is needed, use proper tools and/or wear heavy, insulated welding gloves and clothing to prevent
burns.

Flying metal or dirt can injure eyes.When welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding can cause sparks and
flying metal. It can hurt your eyes.

Remember wear appropriate safety glasses with side shields when in welding zone, even under your welding
helmet.

Noise can damage hearing.Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing.

Remember wear approved ear protection to protect ears if noise level is high.

Moving parts can injure.Stay away from moving parts such as fans.

Stay away from pinch points such as drive rolls.

Keep all doors, panels, covers, and guards closed and securely in place.

Have only qualified persons remove doors, panels, covers, or guards for servicing and maintenance.

Reinstall doors, panels, covers, or guards when servicing and maintenance is finished and before reconnecting input
power.

Overuse can cause overheating.Use machine follow duty cycle. Reduce current or reduce duty cycle before
starting to weld again.

Allow cooling period.

Do not block or filter airflow to unit.

Safety markings.Equipment with CE-markings fulfils the basic requirements of the Low-Voltage and
Electromagnetic Compatibility Guideline (e.g. relevant product standards according to EN 60 974).

Equipment with CCC markings meets the requirements of implementations rules for China compulsory certification.

Fig . 4-3-10: Waveform and parameter in AC constant current

In –Positive half-wave current. To heat welding wire and work piece, and form a molten pool, thus also known as welding
current.
tn–Positive half-wave time
Im –Reverse half-wave current. Used for cleaning the oxide film on aluminum, magnesium and its alloy, thus also known as
clean current.

Clean current - TIG welding with DCRP (direct current reverse polarity) produces good cleaning action as the argon ions
flowing towards the work piece strike with sufficient force to break up oxides on the surface of aluminum and magnesium.
This is called "cleaning action", and the clean current is able to produce "cleaning action".
tm –Reverse half-wave time, also known as clean time.
T–Cycle T= tn+tm
f–AC frequency f= 1/T
Kt–Clean ratio Kt=(tm/T-0.5)×100%
Refers to the relative proportions of clean time in a single cycle.

Important! When the clean time is at half cycle, it is the zero point, that is tm/T=0.5, Kt=0%; tm/T=0.3, Kt=-20%, and so
forth.

Ki–AC bias Ki=(Im/In -1)×100%
Refers to the relative proportions of clean current and welding current.
Important! When the clean current is equal to welding current, it is the zero point of this parameter, that is Im/In=1, Ki=0%;
Im/In=1.1, Ki=10%.

Fig . 7-3-7: Repeat mode

a. Press and hold torch trigger to start welding.


Open solenoid valve to start flow of shielding gas, to expel air from torch hose (pre-gas time can be set depending
on hose length), then the HF ignition device start the arc.
The machine begins to output initial current; this current can be maintained until releasing the torch trigger.

b. Release torch trigger.


The output current is continuously increased from initial current to welding current; the time of this process is
called up slope time.
If the initial current is not required, it will not need to hold the torch trigger. Quickly release it after the arc is
started, the output current will increase to welding current.

c. When finishing a part of welding, press again and hold torch trigger.
The output current is continuously lowered at a certain rate until it reaches to crater-filler current; the time of this
process is called down slope time.
The crater-filler current can be maintained until pressing and releasing the torch trigger again.

d. Release the trigger to go to repeat step 2.

e. When finishing another part of welding, press and hold torch trigger again, step 3 will be repeated.

f. When finish welding, lift the torch away from the work piece until the arc goes out. The solenoid valve will
continue to operate for the selected time (post-gas time), allowing the shielding gas to protect tungsten electrode
and molten pool. Then the solenoid valve stops running, gas stops and the welding is completed.

Spot weld mode (Fig. 7-3-8):

a. Press and hold torch trigger to start welding.


Open solenoid valve to start flow of shielding gas so as to expel air from torch hose (pre-gas time can be set
depending on hose length), then the HF ignition device starts the arc.
Output current increases from initial current to welding current.

b. When the spot weld time reaches to the preset time, the welding current is continuously lowered during preset
down slope time until it reaches to crater filler current, then to zero. At this time, the solenoid valve will continue to

10 - WELDING TECHNIQUE GUIDE

Note! This section being general welding technique guide is for reference only. Specific functions of your machine
please refer to previous chapters.

10-1 TIG basic welding technique

The DC power source uses what is known as DC (direct current) in which the main
electrical component known as electrons flow in only one direction from the
negative pole (terminal) to the positive pole (terminal). In the DC electrical circuit
30% there is an electrical principle at work which should always be taken into account
when using any DC circuit. With a DC circuit 70% of the energy (heat) is always on
the positive side. This needs to be understood because it determines what terminal
the TIG torch will be connected to (this rule applies to all the other forms of DC)

70%

DC TIG welding is a process in which an arc is struck between a TUNGSTEN

electrode and the metal work piece. The weld area is shielded by an inert
gas flow to prevent contamination of the tungsten, molten pool and weld
area.

changing it’s molecular structure which converts it into a plasma stream.
This plasma stream flowing between the tungsten and the work piece is the
TIG arc and can be as hot as 9000K+. It is a very pure and concentrated arc
which provides the controlled melting of most metals into a weld pool. TIG
welding offers the user the greatest amount of flexibility to weld the widest

cleanest weld with no sparks or spatter.

The intensity of the arc is proportional to


the current that flows from the tungsten.
The welder regulates the welding current
to adjust the power of the arc. Typically

LIFT ARC IGNITION for TIG (tungsten inert gas) Welding


Lift Arc is a form of arc ignition where the machines has low voltage on the electrode to only a few volts, with a current limit
of one or two amps (well below the limit that causes metal to transfer and contamination of the weld or electrode). When the
machine detects that the tungsten has left the surface and a spark is present, it immediately (within microseconds) increases
power, converting the spark to a full arc. It is a simple, safe lower cost alternative arc ignition process to HF (high frequency)
and a superior arc start process to scratch start.

TIG Welding Fusion Technique


Manual TIG welding is often considered the most difficult of all the welding
processes. Because the welder must maintain a short arc length, great care and
skill are required to prevent contact between the electrode and the workpiece.
Similar to Oxygen Acetylene torch welding, TIG welding normally requires two
hands and in most instances requires the welder to manually feed a filler wire into
the weld pool with one hand while manipulating the welding torch in the other.
However, some welds combining thin materials can be accomplished without filler
metal like edge, corner, and butt joints. This is known as Fusion welding where the
edges of the metal pieces are melted together using only the heat and arc force
generated by the TIG arc. Once the arc is started the torch tungsten is held in place
until a weld pool is created, a circular movement of the tungsten will assist is
creating a weld pool of the desired size. Once the weld pool is established tilt the

TIG Welding with Filler Wire Technique


It is necessary in many situations with TIG welding to add a filler wire into the weld
pool to build up weld reinforcement and create a strong weld. Once the arc is
started the torch tungsten is held in place until a weld pool is created, a circular
movement of the tungsten will assist is creating a weld pool of the desired size.
Once the weld pool is established tilt the torch at about a 75° angle and move
smoothly and evenly along the joint. The filler metal is introduced to the leading
edge of the weld pool. The filler wire is usually held at about a 15° angle and fed
into the leading edge of the molten pool, the arc will melt the filler wire into the weld
pool as the torch is moved forward. Also a dabbing technique can be used to
control the amount of filler wire added, the wire is fed into the molten pool and
retracted in a repeating sequence as the torch is moved slowly and evenly forward.
It is important during the welding to keep the molten end of the filler wire inside the

Tungsten Electrodes
Tungsten is a rare metallic element used for manufacturing TIG welding electrodes. The TIG process relies on tungsten’s
hardness and high-temperature resistance to carry the welding current to the arc. Tungsten has the highest melting point of
any metal, 3,410 degrees Celsius.
Tungsten electrodes are nonconsumable and come in a variety of sizes, they are made from pure tungsten or an alloy of
tungsten and other rare earth elements. Choosing the correct tungsten depends on the material being welded, the amount of
amps required and whether you are using AC or DC welding current.
Follow are common used tungsten types: Thoriated, Ceriated, Lanthanated, Zirconiated

3.2mm 250 - 400

4.0mm 400 - 500

Table 10-1-1: Tungsten electrodes rating for welding currents

Tungsten Preparation
Always use DIAMOND wheels when grinding and cutting. While tungsten is a very hard material, the surface of a diamond
wheel is harder, and this makes for smooth grinding. Grinding without diamond wheels, such as aluminum oxide wheels, can
lead to jagged edges, imperfections, or poor surface finishes not visible to the eye that will contribute to weld inconsistency
and weld defects.
Always ensure to grind the tungsten in a longitudinal direction on the grinding wheel. Tungsten electrodes are manufactured
with the molecular structure of the grain running lengthwise and thus grinding crosswise is “grinding against the grain.” If
electrodes are ground crosswise, the electrons have to jump across the grinding marks and the arc can start before the tip
and wander. Grinding longitudinally with the grain, the electrons flow steadily and easily to the end of the tungsten tip. The
arc starts straight and remains narrow, concentrated, and stable.

10-2 SMAW basic welding technique

One of the most common types of arc welding is manual metal arc welding (MMA) or stick welding. An electric current is
used to strike an arc between the base material and a consumable electrode rod or ‘stick’. The electrode rod is made of a
material that is compatible with the base material being welded and is covered with a flux that gives off gaseous vapours
that serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric
contamination. The electrode core itself acts as filler material the residue from the flux that forms a slag covering over the
weld metal must be chipped away after welding.

• The arc is initiated by momentarily touching the electrode to the base metal.
• The heat of the arc melts the surface of the base metal to form a molten pool at the end of the electrode.

• The melted electrode metal is transferred across the arc into the molten pool and becomes the deposited weld metal.
• The deposit is covered and protected by a slag which comes from the electrode coating.
• The arc and the immediate area are enveloped by an atmosphere of protective gas.

Manual metal arc (stick) electrodes have a solid metal wire core and a flux coating. These electrodes are identified by
thewire diameter and by a series of letters and numbers. The letters and numbers identify the metal alloy and the intended
use of the electrode.

The Metal Wire Core works as conductor of the current that maintains the arc.
The core wire melts and is deposited into the welding pool.

The covering on a shielded metal arc welding electrode is called Flux.


The flux on the electrode performs many different functions.
These include:
• producing a protective gas around the weld area
• providing fluxing elements and deoxidizers
• creating a protective slag coating over the weld as it cools
• establishing arc characteristics
• adding alloying elements
Covered electrodes serve many purposes in addition to adding filler metal to the molten pool. These additional functions are
provided mainly by the covering on the electrode.
MMA (Stick) Welding Fundamentals
Electrode Selection
As a general rule, the selection of an electrode is straight forward, in that it is only a matter of selecting an electrode of
similar composition to the parent metal. However, for some metals there is a choice of several electrodes, each of which has
particular properties to suit specific classes of work. It is recommend to consult your welding supplier for the correct
selection of electrode.

5.0 - 8.0mm 4.0mm

8.0 - > mm 5.0mm

Table 10-2-1: Electrode size


The size of the electrode generally depends on the thickness of the section being welded, and the thicker the section the
larger the electrode required. The table gives the maximum size of electrodes that maybe used for various thicknesses of
section base on using a general purpose type 6013 electrode.

Electrode Size ø mm Current Range (Amps)

2.5mm 60 - 95

3.2mm 100 - 130

4.0mm 130 - 165

5.0mm 165 - 260

Table 10-2-2: Welding current (Amperage)

Correct current selection for a particular job is an important factor in arc welding. With the current set too low, difficulty is
experienced in striking and maintaining a stable arc. The electrode tends to stick to the work, penetration is poor and beads
with a distinct rounded profile will be deposited. Too high current is accompanied by overheating of the electrode resulting
undercut and burning through of the base metal and producing excessive spatter. Normal current for a particular job may be
considered as the maximum, which can be used without burning through the work, over-heating the electrode or producing a
rough spattered surface.
The table shows current ranges generally recommended for a general purpose type 6013 electrode.

Arc Length
To strike the arc, the electrode should be gently scraped on the work until the arc is established. There is a simple rule for
the proper arc length; it should be the shortest arc that gives a good surface to the weld. An arc too long reduces
penetration, produces spatter and gives a rough surface finish to the weld. An excessively short arc will cause sticking of the
electrode and result in poor quality welds. General rule of thumb for down hand welding is to have an arc length no greater
than the diameter of the core wire.
Electrode Angle
The angle that the electrode makes with the work is important to ensure a smooth, even transfer of metal. When welding in
down hand, fillet, horizontal or overhead the angle of the electrode is generally between 5 and 15 degrees towards the
direction of travel. When vertical up welding the angle of the electrode should be between 80 and 90 degrees to the work
piece.

Travel Speed
The electrode should be moved along in the direction of the joint being welded at a speed that will give the size of run
required. At the same time, the electrode is fed downwards to keep the correct arc length at all times. Excessive travel
speeds lead to poor fusion, lack of penetration etc, while too slow a rate of travel will frequently lead to arc instability, slag
inclusions and poor mechanical properties.

Material and Joint Preparation


The material to be welded should be clean and free of any moisture, paint, oil, grease, mill scale, rust or any other material
that will hinder the arc and contaminate the weld material. Joint preparation will depend on the method used include sawing,
punching, shearing, machining, flame cutting and others. In all cases edges should be clean and free of any contaminates.
The type of joint will be determined by the chosen application.
