4. Setup
Proper setup is crucial for safe and effective welding. Follow these steps before beginning any welding task.
4.1 Cunnessione di putenza:
- Ensure the welding machine's power switch is in the OFF position.
- Connect the input power cable to a grounded 230V AC power outlet. Verify that the power supply meets the machine's requirements.
4.2 Connecting Welding Cables:
- Terra Clamp: Cunnette a terra clamp cable to the Negative Output Terminal (-) on the front panel. Securely attach the ground clamp to the workpiece or a clean, bare metal part of the welding table, ensuring good electrical contact.
- Electrode Holder (for MMA): Connect the electrode holder cable to the Positive Output Terminal (+) on the front panel.
- TIG Torch (for Lift TIG): For Lift TIG welding, connect your TIG torch (not included) to the Positive Output Terminal (+). Ensure the TIG torch has a gas valve for manual gas control.
Always ensure all connections are tight and secure before powering on the machine.
5. Operating Instructions
This section details the operation of the YESWELDER ARC-125D PRO for both MMA and Lift TIG welding modes.
5.1 MMA (Stick) Welding:
- Power On: Turn on the welding machine using the Power Switch. The LED display will illuminate.
- Select MMA Mode: Press the MODE button until "Stick" or "MMA" is indicated on the digital display.
- Inserisce l'elettrodu: Securely insert the appropriate electrode (e.g., E6011, E6013, E6010, E7018 up to 3.18mm) into the electrode holder.
- Ajustà a currente: Use the Value Knob to set the desired welding current (Amperage) based on the electrode type and material thickness.
- Adjust Parameters (Optional): Press the PARAM button to cycle through Hot Start and Arc Force settings. Use the Value Knob to adjust these values as needed for optimal arc ignition and stability.
- VRD Function: Ensure the VRD is ON for maximum safety, especially in damp environments or when working at height.
- Principià a saldatura: Strike the arc by lightly touching the electrode to the workpiece and quickly lifting it slightly to establish the arc. Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.

5.2 Lift TIG Welding:
For Lift TIG welding, a TIG torch with a gas valve and a separate gas cylinder (Argon) are required (not included).
- Power On: Accendete a macchina di saldatura.
- Select Lift TIG Mode: Press the MODE button until "Lift TIG" is indicated on the digital display.
- Connect TIG Torch: Ensure your TIG torch is connected to the Positive Output Terminal (+) and the gas hose is connected to your Argon gas cylinder.
- Prepare Tungsten Electrode: Install a sharpened tungsten electrode into the TIG torch.
