1 INTRODUCTION
The welding machines is manufactured with advanced
inverter technology and is suitable for MIG/MAG/MOG
welding. It' s highly reliable, handy and compact. It can
automatically manage many functions that allow the
good result of the welding. This equipment must be
used ONLY for welding operations.
2 HOW TO PUT THE MACHINE ON
Before using the welding machine, read and understand
the safety manual enclosed to this user manual. The
machine must be set by skilled and qualified staff who
will have to make all the necessary connections
according to the safety regulations in force. The staff
must follow the health and safety norms, and the
instructions given from manufacturers. Make sure that
the supply voltage corresponds to the value indicated
on the technical data's label on the welding machine.
The plug of power cord must be insert in an electrical
socket 1ph with an earth and protected with fuses or
automatic power switches adequate to the absorbed
current I1 from the machine. For the models without
plug, connect the plug of adequate capacity to the
power cord making sure that the conductor of
yellow/green colour is correctly connected to the earth
socket. The machine has an IP 21S protection level - it
must not be used or stored under the rain! To put the
machine on, it has to be equipped with the accessories
included. The operations to carry out are according the
model:
-Wire spool housing
-Torch assembly
-Handle assembly
2.1 WELDING MACHINE WITH PFC DEVICE
(OPTIONAL)
PFC device reduces the disturbances in the power net,
reduces the electricity consumption and allows a better
compatibility to power generator. The welding machines
equipped with PFC device are conform to IEC61000-3-
12 norm that means they are connectable to public low-
voltage power net. For models not equipped with PFC
device and not conform to IEC61000-3-12 norm, it is
responsibility of the installer or the end user to assure,
after consulting the manager of the net distribution, if
necessary, that the welding machine can be connected
to the public low-voltage power net.
2.2 WIRE FEEDER MOTOR
Make sure that the size of the groove in the wire
feeding roll corresponds to the size of the welding wire
being used. The machines are arranged with a feed roll
for Ø 0,8mm (0,030in) and Ø 1mm (0,040in)wire. In
case you want to use Ø 0,6mm (0,025in) welding wire,
ask for the suitable feeding roll. The feeding roll has the
wire diameter stamped on its side.

2.3 HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Assemble the handle on the welding machine mantle
like in picture nr 9. Make sure of the correct tightening
of the screws and of the held of handle before lift the
machine.
3 WELDING MACHINE FUNCTIONING
CONTROL DEVICE
It is recommended to place the machine in a well-
ventilated area, possibly in the shade and free from
obstacles that may avoid the air intake through the
cooling fans. Absence of ventilation causes the
overheating of the internal components. Do not leave
the equipment under the sun during welding operations,
do not cover it with towels or other material that may
prevent air from circulating. Turning on the machine
with the ON/OFF switch on the back side of the
machine.
3.1 FRONT PANEL SETTING
It's possible to regulate the welding functions through
the control panel placed on the bottom of front panel fig.
6. On the panel there is a display DISP and 2 knobs
ENC-1 and ENC-2. The display shows the set speed of
the wire. Turning ENC-1, it is possible to change the
value of the speed wire. It is expressed in mt/min (12.5
means 12.5 mt per minute). Rotating ENC-2, it is
possible to change the value of the power.
WARNING!If the power is set and the knob is not
moved within 3 seconds, the display will show again the
set speed value.
3.2 PROTECTION DEVICE/ THERMOSTAT
Important:
characteristics, it is protected by a device which stops
the power in order to allow the cooling. When this
device is activated, the display will flash and
display shows the code H00. The inverter board is off
even if the fans continue to turn in order to cool the
circuits. In this case it is not possible to weld.
3.3 MIG TORCH USE
Welding with the MIG torch, push the trigger "c" (fig. 7)
after having connected the earth clamp to the negative
outlet.
3.4 NO GAS WELDING
The use of gas can be avoided if you use flux cored
wire. This kind of wire emits gas which creates a
protective environment for the welding. To use function
NO GAS, you need to invert the connections like in
picture 8.
4. WELDING GUIDE
GENERAL RULE
When welding on the lowest output settings, it is necessary to
keep the arc as short as possible. This should be achieved
by holding the welding torch as close as possible and at an
angle of approximately 60 degrees to the work piece. The arc
