PROCESS OF REELS AND TORCHES ASSEMBLY :
• Remove the contact tube and its support (fig D), and the nozzle (fig E) from the torch.
Fig A :
• Position the wire reel on the reel support :
- PEARL XL 180.4: Pay attention to the driving pin when positionning the reel. For a 200mm reel
assembly, tighten ③ to the maximum.
- PEARL 180.2: the adapter ① is to be used only for 200mm wire reel assembly
• Adjust the reel brake② to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when welding stops. Be
careful not to tighten too much.
Fig B :
• The drive rollers included have 2 grooves (0,6 and 0,8). The visible diameter indicated on the roller
when fitted in place is the diameter currently in use (ie. 0.8mm is visible for use with 0.8mm wire). To
weld aluminium or gasless wire, use the appropriate drive rollers.
Fig C : To select the adjustment of the drive rollers
Loosen the drive roller knob ④ as far as possible and insert the wire, tighten the knob again slightly
• Start the motor by pressing the trigger of the torch
• Tighten the knob whilst pressing the trigger until the wire starts to move.
Nb : When welding with Aluminium, use the minimum possible pressure to avoid crushing the wire
• Let about 5cm of wire out of the torch, then put the contact tube (fig. D), and the nozzle (fig. E) adapted to the
wire to be used at the extremity.
GAS COUPLING
The PEARL is equipped with a fast connection. Use the adapter supplied with your machine.

SYNERGIC or MANUAL
Choice of material (synergic mode)
Each material is associated with a different recommendation for gas and diameter of wire.
The materials available are:
Fe - Steel with gas Ar+CO² (18%)
Fe - Steel with gas CO²
Al - Aluminium with gas Ar
SS - Stainless Steel with Ar+CO² (2%)
Choose the diameter of the wire (synergic mode)
Based on the recommendations of wire diameter, the button allows the choice of the diameter used. The active
selection will flash on the screen
④ Adjust the length of the arc (synergic) or the voltage (manual)
Adjust the length of the arc (synergic) or the voltage (manual)
Adjust the length of the arc (synergic) or the voltage (manual)
Adjust the length of the arc (synergic) or the voltage (manual)
Allows the adjustment of the arc length between -9
⑤ Metal thickness setting (synergic) or wire speed (manual)
Sets metal thickness from 0,6 to 4 mm (synergic) , or the wire speed from 0 to 12 m/mn (manual)
⑥ Thermal protection light
Indicates that the thermal protection has been activated after intensive use (the machine will turn off for a few
minutes)
