GENERAL DESCRIPTION
MIG welders which can weld flux cored gasless wire or with gas for the welding of mild steel, stainless steel and
DESCRIPTION OF THE PANEL
aluminium.
1. INSTALLATION
1.1. ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
The welding machine is fitted with a suitable primary cable which we strongly recommend you to do not extend: if it is necessary to extend it, use a
cable having the same section of the primary cable.
Before connecting the machine to the outlet, check that your supply voltage is like the machine's voltage and that the furnished power is sufficient to
feed the full load machine. Make sure that the electric plant is provided with a sufficient earth connection.
The supply voltage is of 220-240V.
1.2. WHEELS ASSEMBLY
In case it would be provided with wheels Kit, follow the following instructions:
1. introduce the axle in the proper space on the bottom of the body;
2. connect the wheels to the axle;
3. block the wheels on the axle;
4. fix the front support with the suitable screws (in some cases unscrew preset screws and fit the two casters on prepared seats placed on the
bottom);
5. fix the handle scrweing it on the fix handle in connection with the hole
1.3. SPOOLS INSTALLATION
You can use spools of Ø 100/200 mm diameter. The welding machines are arranged with hub for spool of Ø 200 mm. To fix the Ø 100 mm spool, it
is necessary to insert the supplied spacer.
1.4. WIRE-FEEDER MOTOR
Make sure that the size of the groove in the feed roll corresponds to the welding wire size being used. The machines are arranged with feed roll for
Ø0.8 – 0.9mm wire, in case of Ø 0,6mm welding wire, ask for the suitable feed roll. The feed roll has the wire diameter stamped on its side.
The machines are equipped with proper reeded rolls suitable for welding with flux cored wire without gas protection. To weld with full wire with GAS
protection you have to replace the roll of the wire feeder group which has V form for the steel wire and U form for the aluminium wire. If you intend
to use the welder with gas protection you have to require such rolls and the pressure reducer to your retailer or to the building society.
1.5. TORCH CONNECTION
The torch is connected directly to the welding machine so it is ready for use. A probable replacement of the torch must be done with care and if
possible by a technician. To replace contact tips, it is necessary to unscrew or to pull it. Replace tip, check that it corresponds with the wire size and
replace the gas shroud. For good wire feeding during welding operations, it is essential that the correct size parts are used for each wire. Keep always
clean the contact tip.
2. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
To switch on the welding machine operate the main switch. The intensity of the supplied welding current can be adjusted by means of two switches or
by means of eight settings rotary switch. The machine is fitted with a thermal overload protection which will automatically interrupt the welding current
on reaching excessive temperatures; in which instance a yellow pilot light will switch on. Once the temperature has decreased to a level low enough to
allow welding, the yellow light will switch itself off and the machine is again ready for use.
3. WELDING MODE
3.1. CONTINUOUS WELDING
It is the mode in which the welding machine is likely to be used the most. In this mode, you have only to press the button of the torch and the welding
machine begins to work. To stop welding it is necessary releasing the torch button.
3.2. GAS – NO GAS WELDING MODE
3.2.1. Gas - Connect torch clamp to positive terminal (+) and earth clamp to negative (-).
3.2.2. No gas - Connect earth clamp to positive terminal (+)and the torch clamp to negative (-).
