Welding SMAW (MMA) Process

WELD PAK™2000 does not include the electrode

holder with lead necessary for SMAW welding, but the
one can be purchased separately. See "Accessories"
chapter.

Procedure of begin welding of SMAW process:
 Determine the electrode polarity for the electrode to

be used. Consult the electrode data for this
information.

 Depending on the polarity of using electrode,

connect the work lead [19] and the electrode holder
with lead to output socket [8] or [9] and lock them.
See the Table 3.

Maintenance

WARNING

For any repair operations, modifications or
maintenances, it is recommended to contact the nearest
Technical Service Center or Lincoln Electric. Repairs
and modifications performed by unauthorized service or
personnel will cause, that the manufacturer’s warranty
will become null and void.

Any noticeable damage should be reported immediately
and repaired.

Routine maintenance

 Check condition of insulation and connections of the

work leads and insulation of power lead. If any
insulation damage exists replace the lead
immediately.

 Remove the spatters from the welding gun nozzle.

Spatters could interfere with the shielding gas flow
to the arc.

 Check the welding gun condition: replace it, if

necessary.

 Check condition and operation of the cooling fan.

Keep clean its airflow slots.

Periodic maintenance

Perform the routine maintenance and, in addition:
 Keep the machine clean. Using a dry (and low

pressure) airflow, remove the dust from the external
case and from the cabinet inside.

 If it is required, clean and tighten all weld terminals.

The frequency of the maintenance operations may vary
in accordance with the working environment where the
machine is placed.

WARNING
Do not touch electrically live parts.

WARNING
Before the case of welding machine will be removed, the
welding machine had to be turned off and the power lead
had to be disconnected from mains socket.

WARNING
Mains supply network must be disconnected from the
machine before each maintenance and service. After
each repair, perform proper tests to ensure safety.
