English Parameter Description Range Unit Factory setting (FAC) no This can be used to reset the YES device to its factory settings. ALL - Cancel reset - Reset the parameters for the selected welding process to their factory settings - Reset the parameters for all welding processes to their factory settings Resetting of the selected value to its factory setting must be confirmed by pressing the adjusting dial. MMA Stick Welding PREPARATION (FIG. 1) WARNING: Risk of injury and damage from electric shock. As soon as the power source is switched on, the electrode in the welding torch is live. Make sure the electrode does not touch any persons or electrically conducting or earthed parts (e.g. the housing, etc.). 1. Press the On/Off button (Q) for at least 2 seconds to turn off the welder. The indicators will go off. 2. Plug the grounding (earthing) cable (G) into the − (A) or + (B) current socket, depending on the type of electrode, and latch it in place. 3. Clamp the other end of the grounding (earthing) cable to establish a connection to the workpiece. 4. Plug the electrode holder (F) cable into the − (A) or + (B) current socket, depending on the type of electrode, and latch it in place. 5. Insert the rod electrode into the electrode holder (F). 6. Press the On/Off button for at least 2 seconds to turn the welder on. WELDING (FIG. 1) 1. Use the welding process button to select (illuminate) one of the following processes from the process indicator (H) section of the control panel: MMA welding MMA welding with cellulose electrode 2. Press the setting value button until the welding current indicator ( ) lights up. 3. Select the current using the adjusting dial (P). 4. Carry out welding. SOFTSTART/HOTSTART FUNCTION (FIG. 1) The SoftStart/HotStart function is used to set the starting current. At the start of the welding process, the welding current is reduced (SoftStart) or increased (HotStart) for 0.5 seconds, depending on the setting (Range: 0-200%). 1. Press the setting value button (O) until the SoftStart/HotStart indicator ( ) lights up. 2. Turn the adjusting dial (P) until the desired value is reached on the LCD setting value display (M). 3. Carry out welding. NOTE: The duration of the starting current can be changed in the setup menu using the Hti parameter. The maximum HotStart current is limited to the maximum current of the power source. Example: The change in the welding current is shown as a percentage of the main current. e.g. main current setting = 90 A - 100 % starting current = 90 A (function deactivated) - 80 % starting current = 72 A (SoftStart) - 135 % starting current = 121 A (HotStart) 12 Page dimensions: A5 (8.2677 x 5.8268 inches)
