Never look at the arc without a face shield specifically designed for arc welding!Protect yourself and your surrounding area from the arc and hot welding spatter!Prepare to weldNOTE! Always wear protective clothing, gloves, face and eye shields suitable for welding. It isrecommended that you make practice welds before you commence welding your main workpiece. If when igniting the arc or during welding, the electrode stick’s or freezes’ to the work piece,note that it will quickly heat up, and may start to glow red hot. To release the electrode, twist theelectrode holder away from the work piece and start again. If this fails, switch off the machine atthe main switch and then release the electrode after it has cooled down.NOTE! The electrode and work piece will be very hot.

Welding quality is not onlyinfluenced by the machine itself. Personal expertise, ancillary equipment and consumablesalso play an essential role, as does the correct, fused supply power.In addition to the welding machine, welding outcome is influenced by the piece being weldedand the welding environment. Therefore, recommendations in this manual must be followed.Welding is carried out when an electric arc is established between the welding electrodeand work piece. Earthing cable attached to the workpiece guides the current back to themachine, forming the needed closed circuit. Unrestricted current flow is possible when theearthing clamp is properly attached to the workpiece and the fixing point of the clamp on theworkpiece is clean, paintless and rustfree.MinarcTig Evo 200, 200MLP6
