Professional Welding Power, Anywhere You Need It

Get professional welding results at home, on-site or in the workshop with the Riland MMA 250-JT Classical Welder, a 250A portable inverter welding machine engineered by Riland — one of the world's most trusted welding brands. Powered by advanced IGBT inverter technology, the MMA 250-JT converts ordinary single-phase 220V mains into a strong, concentrated welding arc while drawing far less power than old-style transformer welders. That means lower electricity bills, less weight to carry and a cleaner, more stable weld from the very first strike.

Smart Features That Make Welding Easier

Built-in functions make welding cleaner and more reliable. Hot Start delivers extra current at the moment you strike, so the arc lights instantly with no fuss. Arc Force automatically prevents the electrode from sticking as you dig into thicker joints, keeping the arc alive and stable. Anti-Stick cuts output the instant the rod touches down, protecting your electrode and the machine. Together with overheat and overload protection, these features keep you welding longer with fewer interruptions and a longer machine lifespan.

• 250A of real welding power — handles light repairs to heavy structural steel on one machine.
• IGBT inverter technology — stable arc, energy-efficient, lower power bills, less weight.
• Hot Start — instant, easy arc ignition every time you strike.
• Arc Force — prevents sticking and keeps a smooth arc on thick joints.

How to Use the Riland MMA 250-JT

Safety first: always wear a welding helmet with the correct shade, dry leather gloves, closed shoes and long non-flammable clothing. Work in a dry, well-ventilated area and keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Never weld on wet ground or on sealed/pressurised containers.

1. Position the machine on a stable, dry surface with clear airflow around the vents.
2. Connect power to a properly earthed 220–240V single-phase socket. Avoid long, thin extension leads.
3. Connect the cables — electrode-holder lead and earth lead into the output terminals (use DCEP / electrode positive for most rods; confirm for your electrode).
4. Attach the earth clamp firmly to clean, bare metal on the workpiece or bench.
5. Fit the electrode (2.5mm or 3.2mm is ideal for general work) into the holder at about 90°.
6. Set the current to suit the rod and metal thickness — roughly 30–40A per millimetre of rod diameter (about 90–120A for a 3.2mm rod).
7. Strike the arc by scratching or tapping the rod on the workpiece, then lift 2–3mm. Hot Start makes ignition easy.
8. Weld the joint with a short, steady arc, holding the rod at 70–80° in the direction of travel and moving at a consistent speed.
9. Chip and inspect — remove slag and brush clean between passes; check for full, even penetration.
10. Shut down safely — switch off, unplug and let the machine and workpiece cool before storing.
