Rajah 4.1: Front panel of the Telwin T-ARC 120. This image displays the main control knob for current adjustment, the positive and negative terminals for welding cables, and the Telwin branding. The dial indicates current settings from 20A to 80A, with corresponding electrode diameters (1.6mm to 2.5mm).

Rajah 4.2: Atas view of the Telwin T-ARC 120, showing the carrying strap and a label with technical specifications. The label details electrode compatibility (2.5mm at 80A, 2.0mm at 55A, 1.6mm at 40A) and duty cycle, along with generator compatibility (3kW).
5. Persediaan
- Sambungan Kuasa: Connect the welder to a suitable power supply (230V +/- 15%). Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and can handle the required amperage. The unit is compatible with motor generators (3kW).
- Tanah Clamp Sambungan: Pasang tanah tanahamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the welder. Securely attach the ground clamp to the workpiece or a clean, bare metal surface connected to the workpiece.
- Sambungan Pemegang Elektrod: Attach the electrode holder cable to the positive (+) terminal on the welder. Insert the appropriate electrode into the electrode holder.
- Pemilihan Elektrod: Choose an electrode suitable for your welding material and thickness. The welder supports rutile, basic, stainless, and cast iron electrodes up to 2.5 mm.
- Tetapan Semasa: Adjust the welding current using the knob on the front panel according to the electrode diameter and material. Refer to the specifications or electrode manufacturer's recommendations.
6. Arahan Operasi
- Penyediaan: Ensure all safety precautions are observed. Wear full PPE. Prepare the workpiece by cleaning off any rust, paint, or grease.
- Hidupkan kuasa: Turn on the welder using the main power switch.
- Striking an Arc: Gently tap or scratch the electrode against the workpiece to strike an arc. Avoid sticking the electrode. The welder features Permulaan panas for easier arc ignition and Anti Melekat to prevent the electrode from sticking.
- Kimpalan: Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed. The Arc Force feature helps maintain arc stability during welding.
- Penamat: Once welding is complete, lift the electrode from the workpiece. Turn off the welder. Allow the workpiece to cool before handling.
7. Penyelenggaraan
- Pembersihan: Regularly clean the welder's exterior with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Do not use solvents.
- Pemeriksaan Kabel: Periodically inspect welding cables, electrode holder, and ground clamp untuk kerosakan, keretakan atau sambungan longgar. Gantikan komponen yang rosak dengan segera.
- Storan: Simpan mesin kimpal di persekitaran yang kering dan bersih, jauh daripada cahaya matahari langsung dan suhu yang melampau.
- Pembersihan Dalaman: For internal cleaning, consult a qualified service technician.
8. Penyelesaian masalah
| Masalah | Kemungkinan Punca | Penyelesaian |
|---|---|---|
| Tiada kuasa | Power cable disconnected, circuit breaker tripped, welder switch off. | Check power connections, reset circuit breaker, turn on welder switch. |
| Welder stops during operation | Overheating (thermostatic protection activated), over-voltage/low-voltage perlindungan. | Allow welder to cool down. Check input voltage. Reduce duty cycle. |
| Arc difficult to strike or unstable | Improper current setting, poor ground connection, damp electrode, incorrect electrode type. | Adjust current, ensure clean and secure ground, use dry electrodes, select correct electrode. |
| Elektrod kerap melekat | Current too low, improper technique. | Increase current, improve arc striking technique. The Anti Melekat feature should help. |
