1 Safety
§1.1 Signal Explanation
The above signals mean warning! Notice! Running parts and getting an electric
shock or thermal parts will take damage for your body or others. The corresponding
notices are as follows. It is quite a safe operation after taking several necessary
protection measures.
§1.2 Arc Welding Damage
The following signals and word explanations are to some damages for your body
or others happening on the welding operation. While seeing these, please remind of
yourself or others to be dangerous.
Only ones who are trained professionally can install, debug, operate, maintain and
repair the equipment.
During the operation, non-concerned people should be lift, especially for children.
After shut off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment
according to §5 because of the DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
Never touch electrical parts.
Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate yourself.
Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the
insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and
ground.
Take carefully when using the equipment in small place, falling-off and wet
circumstance.
Never close the machine power before installation and adjustment.
SAFETY
- 2 -
Ensure to install the equipment correctly and ground the work or metal to be welded
to a good electrical (earth) ground according the operation manual.
The electrode and work (or ground ) circuits are electric ally “hot” when the weld er
is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry,
hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
In semiau tomati c or aut omatic wi re weldi ng, th e electro de, elect rode reel, welding
head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically “hot”.
Alwa ys be sure t he work cabl e makes a good electrical co nnection wit h the metal
being welded. The connection should be as close as possible to the area being
welded.
Maintain the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine in
good, safe operating condition. Replace damaged insulation.
Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
Never sim ultaneous ly touch electri call y “hot” parts o f electrod e hold ers connected
to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open
circuit voltage of both welders.
When working above the floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a
fall should you get a shock.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases. When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough
ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the
breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which require special ventilation such
as stainless or hard fa cing or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or
coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and
below Threshold Limit Values using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In
confined spaces or in some circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required.
Additional precautions are also required when welding on galvanized steel.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from
SAFETY
- 3 -
degreasing, cleanin g or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react
with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating
products.
Shielded gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death.
Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air
is safe.
Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and the
consumables to be used, including the material safety data sheet and follow your
employer’s safety practices.
ARC RAYS CAN BURN.
Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from
sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding.
Use suitable clothing made from durable flame-resistant material to protect your
skin and that of your helpers from the arc rays.
Protect other nearby personnel with suitable, non-flammable screening and /or
warn them not to watch the arc nor expose themselves to the arc rays or to hot spatter
or metal.
SELF-PROTECTION
Keep all equipment safety guards, covers and devices in position and in good
repair. Keep hands, hair, clothing and tools away from V-belts, gears, fans and all
other moving parts when starting, operating or repairing equipment.
Do not put your hands near the engine fan. Do not attempt to override the governor
or idler by pushing on the throttle control rods while the engine is running.
DO NOT adds the fuel near an open flame welding arc or
when the engine is running. Stop the engine and allow it to cool before refueling to
prevent spilled fuel from vaporizing on contact with hot engine parts and igniting.
SAFETY
- 4 -
Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start
engine until fumes have been eliminated.
WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or e xplosion.
Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to
prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and
hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to
adjacent areas. Avoid welding near h ydraulic lines. Hav e a fire extingui sher readily
available.
W here compressed gases are to be used at t he job site, sp ecial precaution s should
be used to prevent hazardous situation.
When not welding, make certain no part of the electrode circuit is touching the
work or ground. Accidental contact can cause overheating and create a fire hazard.
Do not heat, cut or weld tanks, drums or containers until the proper steps have
been taken to insure that such procedures will not cause flammable or toxic vapors
from substances inside. They can cause an explosion even though they have been
“cleaned”.
Vent hollow castings or containers before heating, cutting or welding. They may
explode.
Sparks and spatter are thrown from the welding arc. Wear oil free protective
garments such as leather gloves, heavy shirt, cuff less trousers, high shoes and a cap
over your hair. Wear ear plugs when welding out of position or in confined places.
Always wear safety glasses with side shields when in a welding area.
Connect the work cable to the work as close to the welding area as practical. Work
cables connected to the building framework or other locations away from the
welding area increase th e possibility of the welding current passing through lifting
chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or
overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail.
SAFETY
- 5 -
Rotating parts may be dangerous.
Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the
process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure
used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in
good condition.
Always keep cylinders in an upright position securely chained to an undercarriage
or fixed support.
Cylinders should be located:
- Away from areas where they may be struck or subjected to physical damage.
- A safe distance from arc welding or cutting operations and any other source of
heat, sparks, or flame.
Neve r allow the elect rode, electrod e holder or any other electri cally “hot” part s to
touch a cylinder.
Keep your head and face away from the cylinder valve outlet when opening the
cylinder valve.
Valve protection caps should always be in place and hand tight except when the
cylinder is in use or connected for use.
§1.3 The knowledge of Electric and Magnetic Fields
Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localized Electric and
Magnetic Fields (EMF). The discussion on the effect of EMF is ongoing all the
world. Up to now, no material evidences show that EMF may have effects on health.
However, the research on damage of EMF is still ongoing. Before any conclusion,
we should minimize exposure to EMF as few as possible.
In order to minimize EMF, we should use the following procedures:
Route the electrode and work cables together – Secure them with tape when
possible.
All cables should be put away and far from the operator.
SAFETY
- 6 -
Never coil the power cable around your body.
M ake sure weldin g machine and powe r cable to be f ar away from th e operator as
far as possible according to the actual circumstance.
Connect the work cable to the work-piece as close as possi ble to the area being
welded.
The people with heart-pacemaker should be away from the welding area.

§2.2 Working Principle
The working principle of M IG S ER IES arc welding machine is shown as the following figure.
Single-phase 110V/220V work frequency AC is rectified into DC, then is converted to medium
frequency AC by inverter device (IGBT), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main
transformer) and rectifying by medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diodes), and is outputted
by inductance filtering. The circuit adopts current feedback control technology to insure current
output stably when MMA or TIG. And adopts voltage feedback control technology to insure
voltage output stably when MIG. Meanwhile, the welding current parameter can be adjusted
continuously and infinitely to meet with the requirements of welding craft.

Note: The above parameters are subject to change with the improvement of machines.
§3.2 Duty cycle and Over-heat
The letter “X” stands for the duty cycle, which is defined as the proportion of the time that a
machine can work continuously within a certain time (10 minutes). The rated duty cycle means
the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within 10 minutes when it
outputs the rated welding current.
- 11 -
The relation between the duty cycle “X”
and the output welding current “I” is
shown as the right figure.
If transformer is over-heat, th e heat r ela y
inside it will open and will output an
instruction to circuit board, cut AC relay
and the output welding current, and
brighten the over-heat pilot lamp in the
front panel. At this time, the machine
should be relaxed for 15 minutes to cool the fan. When operating the machine again, the welding
output current or the duty cycle should be reduced.
