Arc welding accessory AWTOOLS AW50502BL 4 kg

The AWTools AW50502BL arc welding accessory is a compact, lightweight unit weighing 4 kg, built for MMA arc welding with coated electrodes using direct current (DC). Housed in rugged sheet steel and supplied with a shoulder strap, this device is intended to support workshop repair work and outdoor service tasks. It includes a digital welding current display and supports additional TIG welding when a torch with a gas valve is connected. Integrated welding functions such as ARC FORCE, HOT START and ANTI STICK help stabilize the arc and improve electrode handling.

Advantages

The unit’s compact design and low weight make it easy to transport and position for site and workshop jobs. Its sheet steel housing provides mechanical protection, while the shoulder strap allows hands-free carrying. The digital current display offers precise monitoring of welding parameters. Built-in ARC FORCE, HOT START and ANTI STICK functions reduce spatter, prevent electrode sticking and assist arc ignition. Compatibility with MMA electrodes and optional TIG torch connection increases the range of applications without the need for multiple dedicated machines.

Suitable for

• Workshop repair and maintenance tasks
• Outdoor and on-site welding services
• MMA welding of steel, cast iron and aluminium (with appropriate electrodes)
• TIG welding tasks after connecting a torch with a gas valve

Key specifications

• Weight: 4 kg
• Housing: rugged sheet steel with shoulder strap
• Welding processes: MMA (coated electrodes, DC); TIG mode available with torch and gas valve
• Control/display: digital welding current display
• Functions: ARC FORCE, HOT START, ANTI STICK

How to use

Connect the unit to a suitable DC power source following the manufacturer’s safety instructions. For MMA welding, fit the appropriate coated electrode holder and select the recommended current on the digital display. Use ARC FORCE, HOT START and ANTI STICK settings as needed to stabilize the arc and facilitate striking and re-striking of the electrode. For TIG welding, attach a TIG torch equipped with a gas valve and connect shielding gas; set welding parameters appropriate for the material and torch configuration. Always check ground clamp connection and inspect cables and consumables before starting work.

Usage recommendations

Use electrodes and TIG torch consumables that match the base material and the selected welding parameters. Maintain the unit by keeping ventilation openings clear and inspecting leads and connectors regularly. Observe all local electrical and welding safety regulations, wear appropriate personal protective equipment, and use shielding gas when operating in TIG mode.
