5. Persediaan

Ikuti langkah-langkah ini untuk menyediakan mesin kimpalan anda untuk operasi:

1. Sambungan Kuasa: Ensure the welder is connected to a stable 110V power supply. Verify that the power outlet can handle the required amppemadam.
2. Sambungan Pemegang Elektrod: Connect the electrode holder cable to the negative ("-") terminal on the front panel of the welder. Securely twist the connector into place.
3. Tanah Clamp Sambungan: Sambungkan tanah clamp cable to the positive ("+") terminal on the front panel of the welder. Securely twist the connector into place.
4. Masukkan Elektrod: Insert the welding electrode (rod) into the electrode holder. Ensure it is firmly gripped.
5. (Optional) TIG Torch Connection: If performing Lift TIG welding, connect the WP17V TIG Torch (sold separately) to the positive ("+") terminal and the gas line (if applicable) to the appropriate gas inlet.

6. Arahan Operasi

6.1 Panel Kawalan Selesaiview

The welder features a user-friendly control panel with a digital LCD screen and a multi-function knob for mode selection and parameter adjustment.

• Skrin LCD Digital: Displays current welding parameters (amperage), selected mode (MMA/Lift TIG), and status indicators (Arc Force, Hot Start, Anti-Stick, VRD, ERR).
• Rotate and Confirm Knob: Used to navigate through settings and adjust amperage. Press to confirm selections.

6.2 MMA (ARC) Welding

This mode is used for stick welding with coated electrodes.

1. Pilih Mod MMA: Use the control knob to select "MMA" on the digital display.
2. Tetapkan Amppemadaman: Laraskan amperage according to the electrode type and thickness of the material being welded. Recommended rods are E6010/E6011/E6013, below 3.2 mm.
3. Sediakan Bahan Kerja: Ensure the workpiece is clean and the ground clamp is securely attached to it, providing good electrical contact.
4. Mulakan Kimpalan: Strike the arc by lightly touching the electrode to the workpiece and quickly lifting it slightly to establish the arc. Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
5. ciri-ciri: The built-in Hot Start, Arc Force, and Anti-Stick features will assist in smooth arc ignition, stable arc, and preventing electrode sticking.

6.3 Angkat Kimpalan TIG

This mode allows for precise TIG welding, requiring a separate TIG torch and gas supply (not included).

1. Sambungkan Obor TIG: Ensure the WP17V TIG Torch is correctly connected to the positive ("+") terminal and the gas line is connected to your argon gas cylinder.
2. Select Lift TIG Mode: Use the control knob to select "Lift TIG" on the digital display.
3. Tetapkan Amppemadaman: Laraskan amperage suitable for your material and desired weld.
4. Sediakan Bahan Kerja: Ensure the workpiece is clean and the ground clamp dipasang dengan selamat.
5. Mulakan Kimpalan: Gently touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece to initiate the arc, then lift it slightly to establish the arc. Maintain a consistent arc length and feed filler rod as needed.
