5. Орнотуу

Before starting any welding operation, ensure the welder is set up correctly and safely.

1. Жайгашкан жери: Place the welder on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials. Ensure there is sufficient space around the unit for air circulation.
2. Кубат туташуу: Connect the power cable to the welder's input socket and then to a suitable grounded power outlet (1-AC 230V). Ensure the power switch on the back of the unit is in the "OFF" position before connecting.

3. Install Flux-Cored Wire:
   • Зым берүүчү отсекке жетүү үчүн ширетүүчүнүн каптал панелин ачыңыз.
   • Mount the spool of flux-cored wire onto the spindle, ensuring it rotates freely.
   • Thread the wire through the wire feeder mechanism, ensuring it passes through the guide tube and into the drive rollers.
   • Adjust the tension of the drive rollers to prevent slipping or crushing of the wire.
   • Каптал панелди жабыңыз.

4. Connect Ground Clamp: Жерди бекитүү clamp ширетүүчү столдун даярдалган бөлүгүнө же таза, жылаңач металл бөлүгүнө бекем бекитиңиз. Электрдик байланыштын жакшы болушун камсыз кылыңыз.
5. Feed Welding Wire: With the power on and the torch pointed away from yourself and others, press the "Quick Wire Feeding" button (if available) or trigger the torch to feed the wire through the torch liner until it emerges from the contact tip. Trim any excess wire.

6. Иштөө нускамалары

Always wear appropriate PPE before operating the welder.

1. Күйгүзүү: Flip the main power switch on the rear of the unit to the "ON" position.
2. Жумушчу бөлүгүн даярдоо: Clean the welding area of any rust, paint, oil, or other contaminants.
3. Ширетүү токту тууралоо: Use the rotary regulator on the front panel to set the appropriate welding current. The synergistic control helps in selecting the correct parameters based on the material thickness (0.5 mm to 5 mm). Start with recommended settings for your material and adjust as needed.
4. Welding Process (FCAW):
   • Position the welding torch at the starting point of the weld, maintaining a consistent stick-out (distance from contact tip to workpiece).
   • Press the torch trigger to initiate the arc. The flux-cored wire will melt, and the flux within the wire will create a protective gas shield around the weld pool.
   • Move the torch steadily along the joint, maintaining a consistent travel speed and angle. Observe the weld pool and adjust your technique for optimal penetration and bead appearance.
   • Ширетүүнү токтотуу үчүн триггерди бошотуңуз.
5. Post-Weld Cleaning: After the weld cools, use the wire brush/chipping hammer to remove any slag that forms on the weld bead.
6. Өчүрүү: Once welding is complete, turn the main power switch to the "OFF" position and disconnect the power cable.
