What is the maximum thickness of steel I can weld?

The welder is rated to weld up to 3mm mild steel.

What accessories are included?

The welder comes with a welding torch, wire brush, face shield, and a spool of 0.9mm wire and welding tips.

What is the duty cycle of the welder?

The output amperage range @ duty cycle is 50A@60% 120A@ 10%.

Where can I find replacement parts?

Replacement parts can be found through the manufacturer, DJM Direct, or through welding supply stores.

How do I adjust the welding current?

There is a welding current adjustment knob on the welder to set the output amperage.

What kind of power supply does the welder need?

Troubleshooting

Welder won't turn on.

Check the power connection and ensure the mains switch is turned on. Verify the fuse is intact and replace if necessary.

Poor weld quality (porosity, weak welds).

Ensure the workpiece is clean of rust, paint, and contaminants. Adjust the wire speed and welding current settings. Check for proper contact of the earth clamp.

Wire feed issues (wire jams or doesn't feed).

Check the wire spool for tangles. Inspect the welding torch liner for blockages and replace if necessary. Adjust the wire feed tension.

Welder overheats.

Allow the welder to cool down. Reduce the welding time or lower the amperage setting. Ensure adequate ventilation around the welder.
