2SAFETY
WARNING
ARC WELDING AND CUTTING CAN BE INJURIOUS TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS. TAKE PRECAUTIONS WHEN WELDING. ASK FOR YOUR EMPLOYER’S SAFETY PRACTICES WHICH SHOULD BE
BASED ON MANUFACTURERS’ HAZARD DATA.
ELECTRIC SHOCK -- Can kill
SInstall and earth the welding unit in accordance with applicable standards.
SDo not touch live electrical parts or electrodes with bare skin, wet gloves or wet clothing.
SInsulate yourself from earth and the workpiece.
SEnsure your working stance is safe.
FUMES AND GASES -- Can be dangerous to health
SKeep your head out of the fumes.
SUse ventilation, extraction at the arc, or both, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and
the general area.
ARC RAYS -- Can injure eyes and burn skin.
SProtect your eyes and body. Use the correct welding screen and filter lens and wear protective
clothing.
SProtect bystanders with suitable screens or curtains.
FIRE HAZARD
SSparks (spatter) can cause fire. Make sure therefore that there are no inflammable materials nearby.
NOISE -- Excessive noise can damage hearing
SProtect your ears. Use ear defenders or other hearing protection.
SWarn bystanders of the risk.
MALFUNCTION -- Call for expert assistance in the event of malfunction.
READ AND UNDERSTAND THE INSTRUCTION MANUAL BEFORE INSTALLING OR OPERATING.

The duty cycle refers to the time in per cent of a ten--minute period that you can weld
at a certain load without overloading the welding power source.

The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against
penetration by solid objects or water. Equipment marked IP 23 is designed for indoor
and outdoor use.
Application class
The symbol
there is an increased electrical hazard.
indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas where
TIG welding is particularly useful when high quality standards are required and when
welding thin sheet.
Before using the Caddy for TIG welding it must be equipped with a TIG torch
(HW 20 ARVSW--3,8m), and gas valve, a cylinder of argon, an argon regulator,
tungsten electrodes and, if necessary, suitable filler metal.
The best method to use is the touch start, where you gently stroke the tungsten
electrode against the workpiece to establish the arc.
Caddy Tig 150 both supply direct current, which allows you to weld most alloyed and
non--alloyed steels, stainless steels and cast iron.
Caddy Tig lets you weld with coated electrodes from 1.6 mm to 3.25 mm diameter.
4INSTALLATION
WARNING
This product is intended for repair and maintenance welding
In domestic or office environment this product m ay cause radio interference.
It is the responsibility of the user to take adequate precautions.
4.1Placing
Place the machine so that there is nothing to prevent the cooling air from passing
through it.
4.2Connection
4.2.1Mains connection
The rating plate including connection data is placed on the underside of the welding
power source.
Connect the welding power source to an earthed mains terminal.
Make sure the welding power source is connected for the correct mains voltage and
properly fused.

4.2.2Connection of welding and return cable
TIG
For TIG welding, the torch is connected to the negative
terminal and the control cable is connected to the Canon
socket on the front panel. Connect the return
cable to the positive terminal, and the gas hose
to the regulator on the gas bottle.
Return cable
Attach the r eturn cable clamp to the
workpiece and make sure there is good
contact between the workpiece and the
socket for the return cable on the
power source.
MMA
The welding power source has two terminals, one plus and one minus pole, for the
connection of the welding and the return cable. Connect the welding cable to the
pole indicated on the package of the electrode to be used.
5OPERATION
5.1Start--up
TIG
SConnect the TIG torch and return cable.
SConnect the shielding gas to the torch.
SSet the toggle switch on the front of the power source to the TIG setting.
SSwitch on the power source by setting the power switch to setting 1.
SSet the welding current using the knob on the front of the power source. Use the
recommended welding current range shown on the electrode packaging.
SStrike the arc without pressing the trigger, then press the trigger and allow the
current to rise to the preset value.The RK function allows you to control the heat
input by pressing or releasing the trigger.
MMA
SMake sure that the cables and the earth clamp are properly connected.
SStart the welding power source by setting the mains switch to position 1.
SSet the welding current, using the knob on the front panel of the power source.
Follow the instructions on the electrode package for the recommended welding
current.

5.2Overload protection
Caddy Tig 150 are provided with a thermal cut--out to prevent overheating of the
welding power source. In the event of overload the supply voltage is interrupted and
the orange lamp on the front goes on. Resetting takes place automatically as soon
as the welding power source has cooled down.
5.3Mains voltage compensation
Caddy Tig 150 both have mains voltage compensation, which means that + 10%
fluctuation in the supply voltage produces only + 0.2% variation in the welding
voltage.

6MAINTENANCE
Note:
All warranty undertakings given by the supplier cease to apply if the customer
attempts to rectify any faults on the machine during the warranty period.
6.1Cleaning
Normally it is sufficient to blow the welding power source clean regularly using dry
compressed air (reduced pressure), and to clean the filter in the front regularly.
In dusty and dirty environment the welding power source should be cleaned at
shorter intervals.
