Translation of the original instructions
• Orange light :
• Over-temperature: in such a case you shall wait a few minutes,
2
the light will turn off and the machine will start again.
• Over-current on primary circuit: in such a case you shall switch
off the machine (with the main switch) and switch on.
- MIG / MAG Welding : Adjust the wire feeder speed up to
maximum speed.
Wire speed selection from 3 to 10 m/min.
3
- MMA welding : Adjust the welding current.
•Adjust the voltage reference up to the maximum value.
4
Welding arc dynamic potentiometer : Can manually adjust the
arc dynamic.
5
MINI to MAX settings : Hard arc to soft arc.
MIG/MAG recommendations
The wire speed adjustment is often determined « with the assistance of sound »: the arc must be stable and
have a low crackling.
If the speed is too low, the arc is not continuous.
If the speed is too high, the arc crackles and the wire pushes back the torch.
The inductance adjusment is done according to the welder's preferences :
The lower the inductance, the more the arc will be hard and guiding.
The higher the inductance and the softer the arc with little splatter.
PROCESS OF REELS AND TORCHES ASSEMBLY (FIG IV /
• 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 :
• Adjust the reel brake (1) to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when welding stops. Be careful not to tighten
too much.
• For a 200mm wire reel tighten the reel to the maximum. The adaptor (4) is only to be used for a 200mm reel.
Fig B : The drive rollers included have 2 grooves (0,8 and 0,9). For 0.8mm steel wire, use the V shaped groove.
For flux cored wire, remove and reverse the roller to use the 0.9mm groove.
For 0.8mm aluminium wire, remove and replace the roll with a model specifically designed for aluminium with a
U shaped groove (not included).
Fig C : To select the adjustment of the drive rollers.
• Loosen the drive roller knob (3) 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
• Leave 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.
