FUMES AND GASES Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use exhaust at the arc to ...

EXPLOSION Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to blow up. Sparks can fly off from the welding arc. The flying sparks, hot work-piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire.

FURTHER CASES Hot parts can cause severe burns. Do not touch hot parts bare handed. Allow cooling period before working on gun or torch. Overuse can cause overheating; Allow cooling period and follow rated duty cycle. Reduce the current before starting to weld again.

SETUP UNPACKING AND ENSURING The equipment is packed in durable packages. Nevertheless, always before using the equipment, make sure it is not damaged during transportation/delivery. Place the unit on horizontal, solid and clean surface. Shield it from heavy rain and scorching sun. Make sure that cooling air circulates freely.
Page 16
INSTALLATION Make sure that the air vent of the machine is not covered and clogged up to avoid failure of cooling system. All our welding machines are equipped with VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) Technology. Connect the welding tongs (grounding clamp and electrode holder) correctly according to the following figure.

PARAMETERS Current setting: The correct current, or amperage setting primarily depends on the diameter and type of electrode selected. The side of the electrode box usually indicates operating ranges. Select an amperage based on the material thickness, welding position (about 15 percent less heat for overhead work compared to a flat weld) and observation of the finished weld.

Z-shaped, semi-circle or stutter-step pattern. Limit side-to-side motion to two and a half times the diameter of the electrode core. To cover a wider area, make multiple passes or stringer beads. When welding vertical up, focus on welding the sides of the joint and the middle will take care of itself.
CONTROLS AND OPERATIONAL FEATURES When the machine is turned ON, an auto-test is executed and power LED (GREEN) lights up and display will ON. The Machine is ready to operate when the Front Control Panel lights up the Power LED ON. The below listed parts are labelled in the product overview.
Page 20
Power ON/OFF LED: This LED lights up when the machine is ON. Heat LED: This indicator will turn on when the machine is overheated and the output has been disabled. This normally occurs when the duty cycle of the machine has been exceeded. Leave the machine ON to allow the internal components to cool.
Turn the power switch to “ON” position. Cooling fan inside the machine should begin to work once welding starts. All the iBELL welding machines are equipped with automatic cooling technology;...

For beginners, the first difficulty is priming the arc. For best results proceed as follows: Test the current intensity and the electrode on a piece of scrap material. Hold the electrode approximately 2 cm above the start of the joint and hold the face shield in front of your face. Touch the work-piece with the electrode and stroke it repeatedly on and off the work-piece to start the arc.

WELDING PITFALLS The arc welding technique is an acquired skill and requires considerable practice before perfect results are obtained. The diagrams below will help to explain the pitfalls (problems) in your technique and how to overcome them. Arc too short This causes irregular masses of weld to be deposited, with slag contamination on an uneven surface.

STORAGE Store the equipment and accessories out of children’s reach in a dark and dry place at above freezing temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5°C and 30°C. Store the electric tool in its original packaging. MAINTENANCE All the maintenance work must be conducted under the condition of complete power failure;...
TROUBLESHOOTING The following operations must be performed by qualified electricians with valid certifications. Before maintenance, please contact with us for professional suggestion. Problem Solution 1. Meter doesn’t 1.1 Make sure power switch is OFF. display, fan 1.2 Make sure the power source connecting doesn’t work, no to input cable is working alright.
