2. Öryggisupplýsingar

Forgangsraðaðu alltaf öryggi við notkun suðubúnaðar. Ef öryggisráðstöfunum er ekki fylgt getur það leitt til alvarlegra meiðsla eða dauða.

• Augn- og andlitsvörn: Always wear a welding helmet with appropriate shade filters to protect your eyes and face from arc rays and sparks.
• Hlífðarfatnaður: Notið eldvarnarfatnað, hanska og sterkan skó til að verjast brunasárum og raflosti.
• Loftræsting: Tryggið næga loftræstingu til að fjarlægja suðureyk og lofttegundir af vinnusvæðinu.
• Rafmagnsöryggi: Never operate the welder in wet conditions. Ensure all electrical connections are secure and properly grounded. Do not touch live electrical parts.
• Brunavarnir: Keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Remove flammable materials from the welding area.
• Vinnusvæði: Haltu vinnusvæðinu hreinu og lausu við drasl. Tryggðu stöðugt fótfestu.
• Lestu leiðbeiningar: Always read and understand the entire instruction manual before operating the welder.

5. Notkunarleiðbeiningar

5.1 Kveikja og grunnstýringar

• Turn on the main power switch located on the rear of the unit.
• The digital display on the front panel will illuminate.
• Use the control knob to select the desired welding process (SMAW or TIG) and adjust the current (Amperage). The digital control ensures maximum precision.
• The welder features automatic HotStart for easy arc ignition and ArcForce for a stable arc, even with challenging electrodes.

5.2 SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding) / Electrode Welding

• Select the SMAW mode using the control panel.
• Insert the appropriate electrode into the electrode holder. The Rogue ES 245i supports electrodes up to 4 mm, including cellulose types.
• Set the current according to the electrode manufacturer's recommendations and the material thickness.
• Strike the arc carefully and maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed for optimal weld quality.

5.3 TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) Welding

The Rogue ES 245i is capable of TIG welding for thin sheets. For TIG welding, additional equipment such as a TIG torch with gas valve and a shielding gas cylinder will be required (not included).

• Connect the TIG torch to the appropriate terminal (usually negative for DC TIG).
• Tengdu jörðina clamp að vinnustykkinu.
• Connect the shielding gas hose to the TIG torch and open the gas cylinder valve.
• Select TIG mode on the welder and set the desired current.
• Initiate the arc using the scratch start method or a high-frequency start if your TIG torch supports it.

6. Viðhald

Reglulegt viðhald tryggir endingu og bestu mögulegu afköst suðuvélarinnar.

• Þrif: Periodically clean the exterior of the machine with a dry, soft cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris. Do not use solvents.
• Snúruskoðun: Skoðið reglulega allar snúrur (rafmagns-, rafskauts-, jarðstrengi) til að athuga hvort þær séu rifnar, slitnar eða skemmdar. Skiptið um skemmdar snúrur strax.
• Tengipunktar: Check that all electrical connections are tight and free from corrosion.
• Geymsla: Geymið suðutækið á hreinum og þurrum stað þegar það er ekki í notkun.
