1)CURRENTMeter:Itisoutputcurrentinwelding.

2) WARNING lamp:

Power error- It will be turned on (off) when imput voltage goes①

down by more than 20% from standard voltage.

Overload- It will be turned on (off) when welding current goes up②

rapidly.

Temperature error- It will be turned on (off) when inner③
temperature of the machine is higher than 85 and it is able to use℃
the machine when this lamp is turned off after certain period of time.

3) FUSE: It is for protecting PCB and FAN. (350DT : 3A, 500DT : 5A)

4) Power lamp: It indicates power is supplied to welding machine.

5) Power switch: It turns ON/OFF the welding machine and it will shut
off the power in overloading.

6) WELDING SELECTION switch

No crater (OFF) - It operates only when torch switch is ON.①

With crater (SINGLE) - Crater current is generated when②
pressing torch switch and welding will be done with this crater current.
If pressing this switch again, crater current will be generated and

welding will be stopped when releasing this switch.

Crater REPEAT - Above condition will be maintained. If keeping③②

the torch away from base metal it will be OFF.

-8-

Arc SPOT - SPOT welding is possible. Welding is done during④
torch switch is ON and it will be OFF when it reaches arc spot time
set.

Manual welding (MMA) - It is used in general arc welding and⑤

the holder is connected to (+) electrode and earth to (-) electrode.

7) PULSE CYCLE: It can adjust the frequency between 10 500 .～㎐

8) PULSE WIDTH: It can adjust pulse width (500DT).

9)WELDINGCURRENT:Itisusedtoadjusttheweldingcurrent.

10) PULSE SELECTION: High - 10 500 adjustment①～㎐

(PULSE SELECTION) Low - 0.5 25 adjustment②～㎐

None - No pulse used.③

11) TIG SPOT TIME / DOWN SLOPE: Spot time can be adjusted
when welding selection switch is in Arc Spot position. If selecting With
Crater or Crater Repeat, you can adjust the time the welding current
changes into crater current.

12) AFTER FLOW: It adjusts gas generating time after completion of
the welding.

13) TORCH S/W: This is a CONNECTOR of the torch switch.

14) GAS OUTLET: This is gas discharging outlet.

15) Torch terminal (-): This is connected with torch and it is used as
ground in manual welding.

16) Ground terminal (+): Connected with base metal and used as holder
in manual welding.

5. Safety regulations

1) Power facility: Have one switch for each welder and use 5.5SQ of
service wire for 350DT and 8.0SQ or higher for 500DT.

2) Welding terminal: Please keep your hands, PC or electric products
away from welder during operation as there is high voltage generated
at torch side of the terminal.

3)Gad:PleaseuseonlyArgongasasprovided.

4) Ground: Comply with Class 3 ground.

5) Circumstance: Avoid the places with moisture, dust and high
temperature around and install it at the place of good ventilation.
Ventilation is particularly closely related with the efficiency.

6) Movement: Make sure to check input power and connecting condition
of input/output line when using after moving the welder.

7) Body safety: Be careful for burning as torch is high temperature and
wear safety mask and cloth as arc ray may damage eye and skin.
Install a ventilating facility and take rest regularly as welding gas is
harmful for body.
