What is the duty cycle of the welder?
The duty cycle is 60% @ 145A and 100% @ 112A.
Can I weld aluminum with this welder?
The welder is suitable for TIG welding aluminum, but requires the correct torch and setup.
What size electrodes can I use?
You can use electrodes from 1.6mm to 3.2mm.
How do I maintain the welder?
Clean the exterior with a dry cloth, ensure ventilation slots are clear, and store it in a dry environment.

Troubleshooting
Welder does not power on.
Check the power connection, ensure the plug is properly connected to a working outlet, and check the circuit breaker.
Unstable arc or poor weld quality.
Check the electrode type and size, adjust the amperage setting, and ensure proper grounding. Clean the metal surfaces.
Welder shuts down during operation.
Allow the welder to cool down. This is likely due to thermal overload protection. Reduce the duty cycle or check for blocked ventilation.
TIG welding issues.
Ensure the TIG torch is correctly connected, check the gas supply (if applicable), and adjust the gas flow rate.
Protective Features: Includes thermal overload protection.
Cons
Requires a 16A plug (not included).
May require additional accessories for TIG welding (e.g., TIG torch).
Duty cycle limitations at higher amperages.
TIG welding capabilities may be basic compared to dedicated TIG machines.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Power Connection: The welder requires a 230V power supply. Important: A 16A plug is required but is NOT included. Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded.
Welding Cables: Connect the welding cables (electrode holder and work clamp) to the correct terminals on the welder.
TIG Setup (If applicable): Connect your TIG torch to the Euro Torch Connector/Dinse Type Coupling.
Electrode Selection: Choose the appropriate electrode size (1.6-3.2mm) for your welding task.
Material Compatibility: This welder is suitable for welding various metals, including steel, stainless steel, and, with the TIG function, potentially aluminum (depending on the torch and setup).
Care Instructions:
Cleaning: Regularly clean the welder's exterior with a dry cloth. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
Ventilation: Ensure the welder's ventilation slots are free from obstructions to prevent overheating.
Storage: Store the welder in a dry, clean environment when not in use.
Inspection: Periodically inspect the cables and connections for any damage or wear.
