Know Your Welder; Quick Start - Helvi FOX 185 FLEX-LINE Manual De Uso

Welder's basic specifications:
Welding Wire Selection:
This welder can work with Aluminum wire 0,8÷1,0 diameter, solid steel wire 0,6÷1,0 diameter and
stainless steel wire 0,8÷1,0 diameter (Gas Welding) and with flux core wires 0,8÷1,0 diameter (No Gas
Welding).
Feed Rolls:
grrove 0,6-0,8mm for wires 0,6÷0,8mm
groove 1,0-1,2mm for wires 1,0mm
U-groove feed rolls for Aluminum, groove 0,8-1,0mm for wires 0,8mm
Gas Selection
According to the material to be welded and to the wire you are going to use, select the shielding gas.

QUICK START

Your new single phase inverter multi-function welder offers THREE WELDING FUNCTIONS in the same
power source. These functions can be selected with knob (6) on the front panel of the unit:
MIG (GMAW and FCAW) Welding with Gas and without Gas
This welder offers the choice to weld in manual or synergic mode.
1. Manual Mode: The operator is required to set both the wire speed (Left Knob - 8- ) and the welding
voltage (Right Knob - 7 -).
2. Synergic Mode: the operator is required to simply set the thickness of the material to be welded
(Right Knob -7-). Once this parameter is set, the synergic function automatically adjusts the welding
voltage and the wire speed allowing the operator to balance this last value simply adjusting the Left
Knob (8).
Stick Welding (SMAW)
Both rutile and basic electrodes can be welded. Welding current is adjusted using the Left Knob (8).
TIG welding (GTAW)
In the TIG position, a TIG torch with a trigger control and a gas valve in the handle is required. The gas
valve must be opened manually before welding and closed manually when welding is completed. The
arc is activated using the torch trigger. Using the Left Knob (8) welding current can adjusted.
