Arc-welding hazards
Only qualied persons may install, operate, maintain and
repair this machine.
During its operation, keep anyone away, especially
children.
An electric shock may kill you.
Touching live current carrying parts may cause fatal electric
shock or serious burns. The working and electrode circuit is
always electrically live when the machine output is on. The input
circuit and the inner circuits of the machine are also electrically
live when the machine is on. When welding with automatic or
semiautomatic equipment, the wire, the reel, the frame containing
the supply rolls and all metal parts touching the welding wire are
electrically live. Incorrectly-installed or not-earthed equipment is
a very serious danger.
• Do not touch electrically live parts.
• Use dry isolating gloves without openings, and protection on
your body.
• Isolate yourself from the work and from the ground by using
carpets or covers that are suciently large to prevent any
physical contact with the work or ground.
• Do not use the AC output in humid areas, if its movement is
restricted or when in risk of falling gown.
1. INTRODUCTION
This produce is a MIG/MAG equipment for continuous wire metal,
shielded electrode and TIG process welding. Technologically,
the STAYER WELDING equipment is a power supply source
for high-frequency power transfer managed y intelligent control
logics.
In contrast to traditional technology which is based on
transformers operating at 50 Hz public grid frequency, STAYER
WELDING has a larger power density per weight unit, is more
economizing and has the possibility of accurate, instantaneous
and automatic control of all welding parameters.
As a result, you will more easily produce improved welding with
equipments that consume less and have a lower mass than
equivalent traditional equipments based on heavy transformers.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.
• Read the User Manual completely and understand it before
using or giving service to the unit.
• Only use genuine manufacturer’s parts.
• Use an AC output ONLY when required by the welding process.
• When an AC output is required, use a remote control if there is
one present in the unit.
• Additional safety precautions are required when any of the
following dangerous electric conditions is present in humid
rooms or while you are wearing humid clothing, when working
on metal structures such as oors, grates or scaolds; when you
are in a tight position such as seated, kneeling, laying down or
when there is a high risk of having unavoidable or accidental
contact with the workpiece or ground.
• Disconnect power input and stop the motor before installing or
servicing this equipment.
• Install equipment and connect it to ground in accordance with
the operator’s manual and national, state and local codes.
• Always check the supply to ground – check and make sure that
the power input to the ground wire is appropriately to the grounding

level causing harm to health or death. Make sure that air for
breathing is safe.
• Do not wed at locations near to operations involving grease,
cleaning or paint spraying. Heat and bolts of the arc may react
with vapors and form strongly irritating and toxic gases.
• Do not weld on coating materials such as galvanized steel,
lead, or cadmium-coated steel, unless the coating has been
removed from the welding area, the area is well ventilated and
while using a respirator with a source of air. Coatings of any
material containing these elements may cause smoke being
emitted when welding.
BOLTS EMITTED BY THE ARC may burn your eyes
and skin.
Bolts emitted by the arc of a welding process produce intense
heat and strong ultraviolet rays that may burn eyes and skin.

• Put the clamp of the work cable in good metal-to-metal contact
to the work or the work table as close as possible to the weld as
it is practical.
• Keep or isolate the grounding clamp so that there is no contact
with any metal or any grounded article.
• Isolate the grounding bracket when not connected to the
workpiece to avoid it contacting any metal article.
HOT PARTS may cause serious burns.
• Do not touch hot parts with your hand without glove. Allow that
there is a cooling period before working at the machine.
• To handle hot parts, use appropriate tools and/or put on heavy
gloves, with insulation for welding and clothing to prevent burns.
SMOKE and GASES may be dangerous.
Welding produces smoke and gases. Breathing in these gases
and smoke may be dangerous or mortal.
• Use protective screens or barriers to protect others from
ashes, reections and sparks; alert other not to look at the arc.
• Use protective clothing made of durable, ame-resistant
material (leather, thick cotton or wool) and protection to your feet.
WELDING may cause re and explosion.
Welding a closed container such as tanks, drums or tubes may
cause explosion. Sparks may y from the welding arc. Flying
sparks, the hot workpiece and the hot equipment may cause re
and burns. Accidental contact of the electrode with metal articles
may cause speaks, explosion, overheating, or re. Check and
make sure that the area is safe before starting any welding.
• Withdraw any inammable material from within a distance of
15 m of the welding arc. When this is not possible, cover it tightly
with authorized covers.
• Do not weld where sparks may impact on inammable material.
Protect yourself and others from ying sparks and hot metal.
• Be alert to weld sparks and hot materials from the welding
operation may pass through small cracks or openings in adjacent
areas.
• Always watch that there is no re and keep near an extinguisher.
• Keep your head out of the smoke. Do not breathe in smoke.
• When you are indoors, ventilate the area and/or use forced
local ventilation in front of the arc to withdraw welding smoke
and gases.
• When ventilation is use an authorized respirator.
• Read and understand the Data Sheets on Material Safety
(MSDSs) and the manufacturer’s instructions regarding
materials, consumables, coatings, cleansers, degreasing agents
and any other chemical products.
• Be alert to that, when welding a ceiling, oor, wall or any kind
of separation, heat may cause re at a hidden part which cannot
be seen.
• Do not weld within closed receptacles such as tanks or drums
or piping unless they have been prepared appropriately in
accordance with AWS F4.1.

navigation, safety services, computers and communication
equipment.
• Make sure that only qualied persons familiarized with
electronic equipment install the equipment. The user takes
responsibility for having a trained electrician who will correct any
problem caused by the installation soon.
• Make sure that the installation receives regular checking and
maintenance.
• Keep doors and panels of a high frequency source completely
shut, keep the distance of the spark at the contact points in its
correct xation and is grounded and protects countercurrent to
minimize the possibility of interference.
ARC WELDING may cause interference.
• Electromagnetic energy may interfere with sensitive electronic
equipment such as computers or computer-driven equipment
such as industrial robots.
• Make sure that any equipment within the welding area is
electromagnetically compatible.
• To reduce possible interference, keep welding cables as short
as possible, as close together as possible or, on the oor, if
possible.
• Place your welding operation at a distance of at least 100
meters from any electronically sensitive equipment.
• Make sure that the welding machine is installed and grounded
in accordance with this manual.
• If there still is interference, the operator has to take extraordinary
measures, such as moving the welding machine, use shielded
cables, use line lters, or shield the work area in one way or
another.
Position the machine in a safe and dry environment and with a
at surface.

3.5. Limitations to environmental conditions
Equipment shall be installed respecting their IP21 class; this
means that the equipment is protected at the most against
vertical impact of water drops and access to dangerous parts
with one nger against solid foreign bodies of 12.5 mm ø or
larger.
The equipment is prepared for working within a temperature
range from -15ºC to 70ºC, taking into account the limitation of a
decrease in performance (duty cycle) as of ambient temperatures
above 40OC.
Note: the electrode is almost always connected to the
positive terminal (reverse polarity). But under certain
circumstances it is to be connected the negative one (direct
polarity) as it is usually the case of the base electrode. Refer
to the electrode documentation to be sure.
4.1.2 TIG Welding
It is necessary that you obtain a TIG torch (5ref. 4120.81) the
gas of which is governed at the handle of the torch. Connect
the TIG torch to connector 4 and ground to connector 3 of the
machine (direct polarity).
4.1.3 MIG/MAG Welding
Connect ground cable 2 to machine connector 4 Connect torch
to the Eurotorch outlet 21 of the machine. Secure the connection
by screwing the safety ring of the torch connector.
When hollow ber (ux core, no need gas supply) is used it is
necessary to reverse the polarity reverse to work directly (positive
to the workpiece). Use the terminals exchange connection
prepared for this purpose in all models.
4.2. Tool replacement
Replacement of consumables of the three execution devices:
electrode carrier for shielded electrodes, continuous wire torches
in MIG/MAG processes and tungsten-electrode torches in TIG
processes.
4.2.1 MMA process (shielded electrode)
Replace the shielded electrode utilizing the 4 pressure channels
practiced in the electrode carrier clamp to secure position and
best electric contact. Make sure that the clamp presses onto the
electrode’s bare metal and that there is no false contact cutting
into the wire’s coating.
4.2.2 TIG process
Here, the wear and tear element is the tungsten electrode itself of
the TIG torch. Despite its good performance, it is recommended
to avoid thorium-doped electrodes (red strip) for reasons of
absolute safety in respect of pollution as explained below.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
4.1 Positioning and testing
Any model of this equipment is turned on by operating switch No.
7. Before turning equipment on, check safety and comply with
your risk prevention in the workplace, and carry out the functions
explained below as a function of the machine’s service time.
4.1.1 Shielded Metal Arc Welding (MMA)
Connect ground cable to machine connector 4. And connect the
ground clamp to the workpiece. Make sure that there is a good
electric contact on a solid and clean surface.
Connect cables of the electrode carrier clamp of the machine
4. Connect the electrode to the electrode carrier clamp making
sure that it ts into the directional slots.
Select the electrode mode selector 11 and adjust the intensity
adjustment 6. In MIG350BT / MIG500BT adjust Arc Force 8
min-put means basic electrode and medium-Max for cellulosic
models
The electrode carrier clamps themselves and the gas conducting
nozzles suer from wear and tear in the vicinity of the electrode.
The electrode carrier clamp will always have the same diameter
as the electrode. The nozzle will have the diameter (as indicated
by its number) indicated for the kind of work and gas consumption.
The elements are of easy manual disassembly by simple threads
and knurlings.
Do neither use nor sharpen thorium-doped tungsten
electrodes because of the risk derived from the
moderate radioactive activity. You may recognize
the presence and concentration if thorium dioxide by the
indicative strip on the electrode according to EN ISO
68848:2004 (colors: yellow, red, purple and orange). Avoid
these electrodes and use substitute products without
contents as for example electrodes with lanthanum and
cerium derivatives (strips: black, grey, blue, gold) which do
not have radioactive activity.
Prepare the electrode by sharpening the tip with the emery
stone in such a way that a cone with a height of approximately
2 times the electrode’s diameter. For a better arc and current
handling capacity, the correct attack of the tip on the stone must
be longitudinal and the tip must be slightly at.

4.2.3 MOG/MAG process
Here, the wear and tear element is the contact tip of the torch
which will be exchanged always with the same diameter as
the continuous wire being used. The nozzle of the torch will
also suer from wear and tear due to high temperatures and
projections. The elements are of easy manual disassembly by
simple wide pitched threads. For special welding of aluminum,
contact your distributor regarding the replacement of the Teon-
based low-friction inner conduct (liner).
The spooler mechanism No. 8 presents easy to operate
replacement of the grooved presser rollers (pulley wheels).
This is done by releasing the threaded knob that releases the
pulley wheel, the position of which may be reversed to select the
supplementary diameter (for example 0.8 mm at one side and
1.0 mm at the other). Note: Be careful not to lose the pin (of the
spooler) when releasing the pulley wheel.
The welding wire is received from its reel and installed by
introducing it into the axle of the spooler and guiding it to the
outlet of the torch through traction grooves No. 8 of the hose of
the torch No. 1 and the contact tip of the torch. The contact tip
may be accessed by removing the nozzle from the torch No. 1
by rotating it by hand.

must be of the same diameter as the welding wire. The pulley
wheels are accessed removing the pressure bearing that
releases them. Once the wire has been passed through the
pulley wheels, close the presser rollers and adjust pressure to
make the wire advance correctly without sliding and without
being crushed.
The groove of the pulley wheel must be of the same diameter as
the welding wire.
When using hollow wire, the nozzle may be removed from the
torch as it is not required. In this way it will have more visibility
and not harm the nozzle with projections.

A. SYNERGIC MODE: Press 13
Amperage: To carry out ne adjustment of overall power, master
amperage control located on the upper portion of the front panel
of the spooler, buttons No. 12 and No. 13 may be actuated.
These controls are duplicated on the main machine, group No.
17.
Voltage: To carry out ne adjustment of the feature of the arc,
actuate voltage master control No. 13 located on the lower
portion of the front panel of the spooler. When turning the control
to the left, voltage will be reduced whereby the arc is closed
and deposition in short-circuit mode will take place with highpenetration, minimum projections and a characteristic sound.
According voltage is increased, there will be a tendency to highperformance spray welding mode with a more silent sound, You
are recommended to start regulating voltage just at the middle
point indicated by a white point within the scope marked in the
synergic mode.
Wire speed: The amperage control modies at the same time the
wire discharge speed in accordance with the working conditions
indicated to the machine. When, due to special circumstances,
it should not be possible to adjust the exact speed, a speed
increase or decrease may be selected by adjusting the wire
diameter to the size that is immediately above or below that
which is really installed.
B. MANUAL MODE: Press 13
- With the knob 6 you can adjust the output speed of the thread
from 1.6m / s to 20m / s
- With the knob 9 you can adjust the output voltage of the device
from 13V to 40V
4.5 General instructions for use
4.5.1 Specic instructions MMA welding (shielded
electrode)
In this class of electric arc welding, the electrode itself produces
heat in the form of an electric arc, the shielded environment,
and it improves the weld puddle and the ller metal itself as the
electrode’s metal core progressively melts as welding is carried
out.
You have to choose the electrode (size and type) that is suitable
for carrying out the work to be performed.
An electrode we recommend due to its medium quality, suitability
for most works and for being easy to nd, is electrode E-6013,
popularly known as the “rutile electrode”. The material par
excellence for welding with shielded electrode is carbon steel.
After having conrmed all safety measures and inspected the
equipment, prepared and fastened the piece to be welded,
cables are connected according to the indications in the tables.
For the usual case of an E-6013 electrode, the output of negative
polarity (marked -) shall be connected to the piece by means of
the grounding clamp. The output of positive polarity (marked +)
shall be connected to the electrode carrier clamp the working
electrode is connected to the bare end thereof.
The welder will put on his/her individual protective equipment
using a welding mask or helmet that is suitable for the work, and
suitably covering any portion of his/her skin to avoid splashed
or radiation.
Welding shall be started by priming the arch. There are several
proceedings, the simplest of which is scratching the piece.
SPLASH CONTROL
Electric inductance 10 allows reducing splashes from the wire
welding process. Try empirically by raising or lowering the control
until achieving the best result.
4.4. Limits regarding the size of the workpiece
The main restriction regarding the piece to be welded is its
thickness which is limited by the power of the equipment.
At increasing power, you will be able to make correct welds (with
suitable penetration of the welding bead) on pieces of increased
thickness.
The following table may serve you as an orientation:
KINDS OF MMA WORK
PIECE
THICKNESS
1,5 - 5 mm 2,0 - 3,25 mm 40 - 140 A
2,5 - 5 mm 4,0 mm 120 - 190 A
5 - 12 mm 5,0 mm > 180 A
WIRE PIECE THICKNESS
0,6 mm 1 - 8 mm
0,8 mm 2 - 10 mm
1,0 mm 2 -25 mm
1,2 - 1,6 mm 5 - 50 mm
ELECTRODE SETTING
KIND OF MMA WORK
Once the arc has commenced, the electrode shall be kept at a
distance approximately equal to the diameter of the electrode as
such, and advancing of the weld shall be commenced by drawing
backwards as if a right-handed occidental person started writing,
The electrode shall be held in a position close (65o to 80o) to
the vertical with respect to the horizontal and balanced with
respect to weld puddle center. Depending on the kind of weld
pass (initial or lling) and the need of covering the joint, advance
in a straight line, zigzag movement or little circles. Good setting
of intensity, position and advance speed of the weld will result
in a pleasant, gentle sound, similar to that of a good barbecue
roast. When performing an accurate work, the resulting bead will
be homogeneous, with uniform surface marks shaped as half
moons.
Once the bead has been made, remove slag with a hammer and
brush before making the subsequent bead.
4.5.2 Specic instructions TIG welding
In electric arc welding by means of a inert-gas-protected tungsten
electrode, the consumable material is not the electrode itself but
a material ller rod similar to, or compatible with the material
to be welded. Compared with the shielded electrode system,
this system has greater productivity and greater diculty in
exchange for very high weld quality on almost any metal and
alloys thereof, including all stainless steels and situations of
joints of low thickness with or without ller material. Welding
takes place without slag, projections or smoke.
In order to correctly position the electrode in the torch, it must
protrude about 5 mm above the nozzle.
As a general rule, connect the output inversely than the usual
connection of the electrode i.e. the TIG torch to the equipment’s
negative terminal and the grounding clamp to the positive
terminal. Prepare and secure the piece.
12
ENGLISH
13
Adjust current intensity in accordance with the needs of the kind
of material and the joint to be made, making rst a test on a test
piece. Refer to specialized literature or regulated professional
training for further information in respect hereof.
The torch shall receive inert gas supply (usually pure argon)
proceeding from a cylinder, through a pressure reducing system
capable of suitably regulating eh necessary gas ow volume. All
equipments need a TIG torch (not included, STAYER references
38.71 and 38.73) with direct connection to the ow meter and
gas control by the ow valve in the TIG torch itself.
Once the arc has started, proceed to carry out welding
according to the needs thereof. As a general orientation, you
have to advance reversely to electrode welding so that, instead
of drawing backwards, you apply pushing frontwards as if you
were helping the gas ow impinge on the weld puddle. Incline
the torch in such a way, that it impinges in a position near (70o
to 80o) to the vertical with respect to the centered horizontal and
with respect to the weld puddle.
Slowly deposit the ller material of the rod bringing it closer
successively to the puddle of melt material.
To nish, simply stop pushing the switch of the torch, separate
the torch very slightly until the torch becomes interrupted and
close the manual gas valve. Finally, close the general ow valve
of the inert gas cylinder.
4.5.3 Specic instructions MIG/MAG wire welding
The welding torch must maintain a correct position to allow the
gas to conveniently shield the melting bed. Hold the torch with
both hands and ensure having a xed support point for more
stability of the bead.
5. Little pressure in the wire advance.
6. Wire bobbin tangled or wrongly connected, thereby braking or
complicating normal advance of the wire.
WELD LACKING PENETRATION
a) Torch advance speed too high.
b) Low welding current.
c) Wire speed to low.
ARC DOES NOT FLARE UP
A) Check connection of the machine, of the grounding clamp and
of the torch.
MACHINE DOES NOT WORK WHEN THE TORCH SWITCH
IS CONNECTED
a) Intervention of the thermostat.
b) Check operation of the TORCH SWITCH.
MACHINE DOES NOT WORK, THE LUMINOUS SWITCH
DOES NOT LIGHT UP
a) Verify connection to electric mains.
b) Verify circuit breaker switch or the fuse of the electric mains.
5. SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
ISTRUCTIONS
Torches – specic instructions:
- Clean projections adhered in the torch outlet to avoid short-
circuit and gas turbulences. Use a steel brush.
- Avoid adherences of projections using a specic, silicone-free
spray.
- Review setting of dragging and braking rollers of the reel
periodically.
- Control wear and tear of the calibrated contact nozzle and
replace it when necessary to avoid loss of contact of the wire
with the nozzle.
An inclination with respect to the vertical of 10o is recommended.
The free length of the wire shall be comprised between 8 and 20
mm, so that the melting bed may be observed and adherence of
projection to the gas nozzle may be avoided. Avoid working in air
currents that snatch technical gas from the welt bead.
Possible problems and solutions MIG/MAG welding
WELD BEAD NARROW AND WITH INTERRUPTIONS
a) Wire advance speed excessive.
b) Little gas discharge (start with 5-7 l/min and, if necessary,
open the tap of the pressure gauge more.
WELD BEAD VERY HIGH
A) Wire advance speed very low.
b) Low welding current.
UNSTABLE ARC, POROSITY OF THE WELD
a) Torch very distant from the piece.
b) Piece with grease, oil, dirty, rust.
c) Insucient gas ow; check the contents of the gas bottle and
the gas regulator.
WIRE MELTS UP TO THE CONTACT TIP AND REMAINS
HOOLED THERETO
a) Very low wire speed
b) Torch too close to the piece
c) Momentary interruption of the welding circuit that may be
caused by:
1. Contact tip oxidized.
2. Diculties in the wire advancing mechanism.
3. Contact tip with diameter diering from that of the wire.
4. Faulty connection of the torch.
Do not use torch as a hammer to remove weld rests or align
sheets.
