2. Saugos informacija

Welding operations involve significant risks. Adhere to all safety precautions to prevent injury or damage.

• Elektros šokas: Welding equipment uses high voltage. Ensure the welder is properly grounded. Never operate in wet conditions. Always wear dry welding gloves.
• Dūmai ir dujos: Welding produces fumes and gases that can be hazardous to health. Work in a well-ventilated area. Use local exhaust ventilation if necessary.
• Lanko spinduliai: The welding arc emits intense ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can burn eyes and skin. Always use the auto-darkening welding mask and wear appropriate protective clothing.
• Gaisras ir sprogimas: Suvirinimo kibirkštys ir karštas metalas gali sukelti gaisrą. Laikykite degias medžiagas atokiau nuo suvirinimo zonos. Turėkite po ranka gesintuvą.
• Nudegimai: Hot metal and sparks can cause severe burns. Wear protective clothing, including long sleeves, heavy-duty gloves, and closed-toe shoes.
• Asmeninės apsaugos priemonės (AAP): Visada dėvėkite suvirinimo šalmą, suvirinimo pirštines, apsauginius drabužius ir apsauginius batus.
• Darbo sritis: Keep the work area clean, dry, and free of clutter. Ensure adequate lighting.

4. Sąranka

4.1 Suvirinimo aparato sąranka

1. Vieta: Place the welder on a stable, level surface, ensuring adequate ventilation around the unit.
2. Maitinimo jungtis: Connect the welder to a single-phase 230V, 50/60Hz power supply. Ensure the power outlet is properly grounded and capable of handling the welder's power requirements (3 kVA absorbed power).
3. Vielos ritės montavimas: Open the wire compartment. Install the flux-cored wire spool (0.8 - 0.9 mm diameter) onto the spindle. Thread the wire through the wire feed mechanism and into the MIG torch liner. Ensure the wire tension is correctly set to allow smooth feeding without slippage or crushing.
4. Žemė Clamp Ryšys: Prijunkite įžeminimą klamp to the workpiece. Ensure a clean, direct metal-to-metal contact for a stable arc.
5. MIG žibintuvėlis: The MIG torch is integrated with the unit. Ensure the nozzle and contact tip are clean and correctly installed.

4.2 Welding Mask Setup

1. Išpakavimas: Remove the AWELCO HELMET LCD 9/13 from its packaging.
2. Galvos apdangalo reguliavimas: Adjust the headgear straps to ensure a comfortable and secure fit. The mask should sit firmly on your head without being too tight, allowing for easy flipping up and down.
3. Objektyvo apsauga: Ensure the protective films are removed from both sides of the auto-darkening lens.
4. Funkcijų testas: Before welding, briefly expose the sensor to a bright light source (not the welding arc) to confirm the auto-darkening function is working. The lens should momentarily darken.

5. Naudojimo instrukcijos

5.1 Suvirinimo aparato veikimas

1. Maitinimas: Turn on the main power switch on the welder.
2. Dabartinis koregavimas: Set the desired welding current using the control knob. The AUTOMIG 130 offers a range of 35-130 A. Start with lower settings for thinner materials and increase as needed.
3. Automatic Wire Speed: This model features automatic wire speed regulation, simplifying setup. The machine will adjust the wire feed rate based on the selected current.
4. Welding Technique (No-Gas Flux-Cored):
   • Paruošimas: Ensure the workpiece is clean and free of rust, paint, or grease.
   • Lanko inicijavimas: Position the torch nozzle close to the workpiece. Press the torch trigger to initiate the arc.
   • Travel Angle: Maintain a slight drag angle (pushing the torch away from the weld puddle) for optimal flux-cored welding.
   • Kelionės greitis: Maintain a consistent travel speed to create an even bead. Too fast will result in a narrow, high bead; too slow will result in a wide, convex bead.
   • Thin Sheet Metal: The AUTOMIG 130 is ideal for thin sheet metal. Use appropriate current settings to avoid burn-through.
5. Post-Weld: Release the trigger to stop welding. Allow the weld to cool. Chip off any slag produced by the flux-cored wire.

5.2 Welding Mask Operation

• Automatic Darkening: The LCD 9/13 helmet automatically darkens when the welding arc is struck, protecting your eyes from intense light. It returns to a light state when the arc is extinguished.
• Matomumas: Ensure the lens is clean for clear visibility. Adjust the headgear for optimal viewing kampas.

6. Priežiūra

6.1 Suvirinimo aparato priežiūra

• Torch Nozzle and Contact Tip: Regularly clean spatter from the torch nozzle and replace the contact tip when it becomes worn or clogged.
• Vielos padavimo mechanizmas: Periodically inspect the wire feed rollers for wear and cleanliness. Remove any wire shavings or debris.
• Bendras valymas: Keep the welder unit clean and free of dust and metal particles. Use compressed air to blow out internal components if necessary, ensuring the unit is unplugged.
• Saugykla: Kai nenaudojate, laikykite suvirinimo aparatą sausoje, švarioje aplinkoje.

6.2 Welding Mask Maintenance

• Objektyvo valymas: Clean the auto-darkening lens and outer protective lenses with a soft, damp audinys. Nenaudokite abrazyvinių valiklių ar tirpiklių.
• Baterijos patikrinimas: If the helmet uses replaceable batteries, check them periodically and replace as needed. (Specific battery type not provided, refer to helmet's dedicated manual if available).
• Saugykla: Store the helmet in a protective bag or case to prevent scratches to the lens.

7. Problemų sprendimas

• No Power to Welder: Check the power cord connection, wall outlet, and circuit breaker. Ensure the welder's power switch is ON.
• No Arc or Weak Arc: Verify the earth clamp has good contact with the workpiece. Check the wire feed for proper tension and ensure the contact tip is not clogged. Increase current setting if necessary.
• Vielos tiekimo problemos: Check for tangled wire on the spool, proper wire tension, and a clean torch liner. Ensure the correct wire diameter is used for the feed rollers.
• Welding Mask Not Darkening: Ensure the sensors are clean and unobstructed. Check for sufficient ambient light for the sensors to detect the arc. If battery-powered, check or replace batteries.
• Prasta suvirinimo kokybė: Adjust current settings, travel speed, and torch angle. Ensure the workpiece is clean.
