3.2.3. MIG/MAG SYSTEM START-UP.
1) Make sure the mains voltage is 230 V.
2) Connect supply cable with the suitable plug to the relevant single-phase tap. See section 2.2.
3) Change the polarity if it is necessary. The torch must be to positive in MIG/MAG with gas process.
4) If the material to be welded is aluminium, change the flexible cable and the wire guide tube for the graphite cable
with the torch totally stretched.
5) Depending on the wire diameter, fit the groove of the suitable driving wheel to the work to be carried out.
6) Choose suitable gas to wire type to be welded. If it has a mobile workstation, check that the gas bottle is securely
held by the bottle-holder system. Above all check that the safety chain is perfectly fastened.
7) Install the pressure-reducing valve and connect gas hose checking that there are no leakages, throughout the whole
circuit.
8) Fit the wire reel into the support axle.
9) Fit the welding wire into the driving system. Do not force the wire pressure handle, as if this is too tight, the motor
remains on overload and does not reach the maximum speed, and if the handle is too slack, the wire could slip.
10) Once the wire has been fitted, we can then conect the MIG/MAG torch. The wire is loaded into the torch via the
wire purge pushbutton.
3.2.4 SELECCIÓN DE LA ANTORCHA Y CONTROL DE PARÁMETROS.
Depending on the piece to be welded, Gala AutoMIG 3allows you to select the right torch for the job.
Choose a torch and press the trigger, a green LED will light indicating the selected torch. You can now start
welding. To switch to another torch, just press the corresponding trigger.
Control of torch 1 parameters is located on the upper front panel.
The control of the welding voltage and wire speed parameters for torches 2 and 3 is located on the lower front
panel.
The regulation of inductance and torch trigger mode (2T/4T) is common to the three torches and is located on the
upper front panel.
