1.2. PRODUCT PRESENTATION

Kemppi Minarc is a manual metal arc welding machine, small in size, suitable for

industry, site and repair welding. The unit uses a one phase connection voltage and it is

manufactured in two different welding power sizes 110 A and 140 A.

Minarc tolerates a great ﬂuctuation of input voltage and there-fore is thus suitable for

work on sites using generator as well as to be used with long power cables. Inverter

technology has been used when designing the unit. Power regulation in power source

is done with IGBT transistors. Welding and earth cables are supplied with the unit.

They are equipped with suitable connections for the unit electrode holder, earth clamps

and connections.

Minarc can also be used for TIG welding. TIG arc is started by scratching. Ordering

numbers of additional equipment for TIG welding can be found in chapter 4.2. Ordering

numbers.

1.3. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Read the warning texts carefully and follow the instructions.

Arc and welding spatter

Arc and the reﬂected radiation from it can damage unprotected eyes. Shield your eyes

and protect your surroundings appropriately, before you start welding. Arc and welding

spatter will burn unprotected skin. When welding – use protective gloves and clothing.

Danger of ﬁre and explosion

Observe the ﬁre safety instructions. Remove ﬂammable material near the place where

you will weld. Have necessary ﬁre extinguishing equipment at hand when you weld.

Note dangers caused by special jobs, such as risk of ﬁre and explosion when welding

tanks. Note! Sparks may ignite ﬁre even hours later!

Welding is working with ﬁre, note special instructions for such work.

Mains voltage

Never take welding machine inside the piece you are working on (e.g. container or car).

Never set the welding machine on wet surface. Replace faulty cables immediately, they

create a danger to life and can cause a ﬁre. See that the connecting cable does not stick

nor touch sharp edges or a hot welding piece.

Welding current circuit

Isolate yourself from the welding current circuit by wearing dry and undamaged protec-

tive clothing. Never work on a wet surface. Never use damaged welding cables. Never

set electrode holder, earth clamp nor the welding cables on top of the power source or

other electric equipment.

Welding fumes

Ensure adequate ventilation. Always take special measures when welding metals con-

taining lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury or beryllium.

3. USE

It is forbidden to weld in places where is a danger of ﬁre or explosion!

3.1. WELDING PROCESSES

3.1.1. Manual Metal arc welding (MMA)

In manual metal arc (MMA) the welding ﬁller material is melted from the electrode to

the weld pool. Filler and rate of welding current is selected on basis of used electrode

size and welding position. Arc forms between electrode end and welding piece. The

melting electrode coating forms gas and slag, that protects the weld pool. Slag solidiﬁed

over the weld is removed after welding with e.g. a chipping hammer.

3.1.2. TIG welding

In DC TIG welding the arc between a non-melting tungsten electrode and the welding

piece melts the welding piece, where weld pool forms. Arc and electrode are shielded by

an inert shielding gas (Argon). If necessary, ﬁller is used. Filler wire is fed into the weld

pool from the outside of the arc. Filler and rate of welding current is selected on the

basis of diameter of tungsten electrode and welding position in use.

3.2. OPERATING FUNCTIONS

See also 2.4. Main components and 3.4. Welding selections.

A Main switch and signal light

B Welding process selecting switch

C Welding current adjuster

D Signal light on overheating

Main switch and signal light

When you put the main switch in position I, signal light is lit and the unit is ready for

welding. Signal light is always on, when the unit is connected to the mains and the main

switch is in position I.

Note! Always start and stop the machine from the main switch, never use the plug

as a switch!

Welding process selector, MMA / TIG switch is used for selecting either

MMA or TIG welding, depending on welding target.

Regulating welding current

Welding current rate is steplessly regulated with an adjusting potentiometer.

Signal light for overheating

A yellow signal light of overheating is lit, when thermostat has tripped because of the

unit’s overheating. Fan will cool the unit and after the signal light goes off, the unit is

again ready for welding.

3.3. WELDING SELECTIONS

3.3.1. Manual Metal arc welding (MMA)

Minarc/0244 – 7

3.3.2. DC TIG welding

Select welding parameters based on ﬁller manufacturer’s recommendations.

1. Connect TIG torch to - pole and earth cable to + pole

2. Select TIG welding with the switch .

3. Select suitable welding current on adjusting potentiometer scales.

3.4. WELDING SELECTIONS

Welding fumes may be dangerous to your health, see that there is ample

ventilation during welding!

Never look at the arc without face shield made for arc welding! Protect

yourself and your surroundings from the arc and hot spatter!

3.4.1. Earth

If possible, always ﬁx earth cable clamp directly on the welding piece.

1. Clean connection surface of earth clamp from paint and rust.

2. Connect the clamp carefully so, that contact surface is as large as possible.

3. Finally check that the clamp sits tight

3.4.2. Welding

See also 3.1. Welding processes and 3.4. Welding selections. Note! It is advisable to

test welding and rate of welding current ﬁrst on something else than the actual welding

piece.

You can start welding after having made necessary selections. Arc is lit by scratching

the welding piece with electrode. Length of arc is regulated by holding electrode tip

a suitable distance from welding piece. Suitable arc length is usually about half the

diameter of the electrode core wire. When arc is lit move the electrode slowly forwards

tilting it to appr. 10-15° pulling angle. If necessary, adjust current value.

Shielding gas is used in DC TIG welding. Your dealer will give you advice on choosing

gas and equipment. Open the gas valve on the TTM 15V TIG torch. When gas starts to

ﬂow, arc is lit by lightly scratching welding piece with the tip of the tungsten electrode.

When arc is lit, its length is regulated by holding the tip of the tungsten electrode at

a suitable distance from the welding piece. Move the torch forwards from the starting

point. Usually in appr. 10-15° pushing angle forwards. If necessary, regulate current

rate. Stop welding by lifting the torch off the welding piece and by closing the gas

valve on the torch.

Note! Always ﬁx the gas cylinder so that it stays steadily in upright position either

in specially made wall rack or cylinder trolley. Always close the cylinder valve after

ﬁnishing welding.

3.5. STORING

Store the unit in a clean and dry place. Shield it from rain, and in temperatures

exceeding 25 °C shield it from direct exposure to sun.
