PRINCIPLES OF THE MACHINE

The MMA150 is an inverter type welding machine, suitable to carry out No Gas

welding with the advantages of high energy efficiency, strong arc penetration and

small welding deformation.

Weldable materials include low carbon steel, low alloy steel, high strength steel,

stainless steel and aluminium alloy.

Manual Metal Arc (MMA) welding uses a coated consumable electrode (stick) to lay

the weld, therefore an additional welding torch kit is not used. The arc melts the core

of the electrode to produce drops of molten metal (weld pool) that cool to create the

welded joint. Because of the versatility and simplicity of MMA welding, it requires less

skill and is used primarily to weld iron and steel (including stainless steel. but nickel

and copper can also be welded using this method.)

A wide selection of accessories and consumables are available from your CLARKE

dealer (see page 24).

When using the welder outside you may need to erect a wind break to make sure the

shielding gas is not blown away, thereby leaving a poor quality weld.
