5.2. Connexió d'alimentació

The HIM200 is a dual voltage machine (110V/220V). Ensure the power source matches the welder's requirements and is properly grounded. Use the appropriate power cord and adapter if necessary.

5.3. Connexió d'accessoris

Connect the welding accessories based on the desired welding mode. Pay close attention to polarity.

Terra Clamp: Connecteu sempre el cable de terraamp fixat de manera segura a la peça de treball o a la taula de soldadura.
MIG Gun (Flux Core/Gasless): Connect the MIG gun to the appropriate terminal. For Flux Core welding, the MIG gun is typically connected to the negative (-) terminal, and the ground clamp al terminal positiu (+).

5.4. Wire Installation (for MIG/Flux Core)

Obriu el compartiment del alimentador de filferro.
Col·loqueu el carret de filferro al cargol, assegurant-vos que giri lliurement.
Feed the wire through the guide tube and into the drive rollers.
Close the drive roller tension arm and adjust the tension knob. The tension should be firm enough to feed the wire without slipping, but not so tight as to deform the wire.
With the MIG gun pointed away from yourself and others, press the trigger to feed the wire through the gun liner until it exits the contact tip.

6. Funcionament

This section provides general operating instructions for each welding mode.

6.1. Funcionament general

Ensure all connections are secure and correct for the desired welding mode.
Turn on the welder using the Power Switch (8).
Use the Mode Button (2) to select the desired welding process (MIG, Stick, Lift TIG).
Use the Rotate and Confirm Knob (4) to adjust welding parameters such as current (amperage) and wire feed speed (for MIG). The synergic control will assist in setting optimal parameters.
Perform a test weld on scrap material to verify settings before welding your actual workpiece.

This mode uses coated electrodes. The HIM200 features Arc Force, Anti-Stick, Hot Start, and VRD for enhanced performance and safety.

Connecteu el portaelèctrode i el clavill de terraamp with correct polarity (typically electrode holder to positive, ground to negative).
Select Stick/MMA mode.
Ajusta el corrent de soldadura (amperage) en funció del tipus i diàmetre de l'elèctrode.
Força de l'arc: Ajuda a evitar que l'elèctrode s'enganxi i manté l'estabilitat de l'arc.
Antiadherent: Reduces the current if the electrode sticks, making it easier to remove.
Inici calent: Proporciona un augment temporal del corrent a l'inici de la soldadura per garantir una fàcil ignició de l'arc.
VRD (Voltage Dispositiu de reducció): Redueix el volum de circuit oberttage for increased safety when not welding.
