5. 사용 설명서
5.1. TIG Welding (GTAW)
The Buddy Tig 160 offers excellent performance for TIG welding of carbon steel and stainless steel alloys. The High Frequency (HF) start ensures clean arc initiation without contaminating the tungsten electrode or the workpiece.
- TIG 모드를 선택하십시오: Use the control panel to select the TIG welding mode.
- 가스 연결: Ensure the shielding gas (Argon recommended) is connected and flowing at the correct rate. The machine's integrated gas valve automatically controls gas flow.
- 현재 설정: Adjust the welding current using the single control knob to suit your material thickness and joint type.
- 2T/4T 기능: The machine features 2-stroke (2T) and 4-stroke (4T) trigger modes. Select the appropriate mode for your welding procedure:
- 2T (Two-Stroke): Press and hold the trigger to start the arc and weld. Release the trigger to stop.
- 4T (Four-Stroke): Press and release the trigger to start the arc. Press and release again to stop. This mode is useful for longer welds to reduce hand fatigue.
- Pre-Gas and Ramp 기능: The machine automatically manages pre-gas flow and current ramp-down functions, ensuring high-quality starts and finishes to your welds.
- 용접: Position the torch, initiate the arc, and proceed with welding. Maintain proper arc length and travel speed.

5.2. MMA Welding (SMAW)
The Buddy Tig 160 also excels in MMA welding, providing a strong and stable DC (Direct Current) arc. It can weld with many types of electrodes and on most metals, including carbon steel, alloy steels, stainless steels, and cast iron.
- MMA 모드를 선택하세요: Switch the machine to MMA welding mode.
- 전극 삽입: 적절한 전극을 전극 홀더에 단단히 삽입하십시오.
- 현재 설정: Adjust the welding current using the single control knob based on the electrode diameter and material thickness.
- HotStart and ArcForce: The HotStart and ArcForce functions are automatically regulated according to the selected welding intensity. These features provide excellent arc initiation and consistent welding performance throughout the entire intensity range of the machine.
- 용접: Strike the arc and maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed for optimal results.
5.3. 제어판
The control panel of the Buddy Tig 160 is designed for simplicity and ease of use. It features a single knob for adjusting welding intensity. Additionally, there is a button for regulating the progressive current ramp-down in TIG mode or for adjusting the ArcForce function in MMA mode.
6. 유지관리
정기적인 유지관리는 용접기의 수명과 최적의 성능을 보장합니다.
- 청소: Periodically clean the exterior of the machine. Use compressed air to blow out dust and debris from the cooling vents. Ensure the machine is unplugged before cleaning.
