Translation of the original instructions
GAS COUPLING
- Connect a pressure regulator to the gas bottle. Connect the welding machine using the pipes supplied, and
place the two clamps to avoid leakages.
- Set the gas flow by adjusting the dial located on the pressure regulator.
NB : to help facilitate the adjustment of the gas flow, operate the drive rollers by pressing the trigger of the torch
(ensure that the drive roller is completely loose so the wire is not fed through).
Maximum gas pressure 0.5MPA (5 bars).
This procedure does not apply to «Gasless» welding mode.
DUTY CYCLE & WELDING ENVIRONMENT IN USE
• The welding unit describes a flat output characteristic (constant voltage). The duty cycles following the standard
EN60974-1 (at 40°C on a 10mn cycle) are indicated in the table here below:
X / 60974-1 @ 40°C
(T cycle = 10 min)
EasyMIG 160 – MIG/MAG
EasyMIG 160 - MMA
While under intensive use (superior to duty cycle) the thermal protection can turn on, in that case, the arc swit-
ches off and the thermal protection indicator switches on.
The machine has a specification with a "dropping current output" in MMA mode and a "constant current output"
in MIG mode.
Note : The machine's duty cycle has been tested at room temperature (40°C) and has been determined by
simulation.
• This is a Class-A device. It is designed to be used in an industrial or professional environment. In a different
environment, it can be difficult to ensure electromagnetic compatibility, due to conducted disturbances as well
as radiation.
ADVICE & THERMAL PROTECTION
This device is equipped with a ventilator regulated by the inside temperature. When the machine's thermal pro-
tection is activated, it will not deliver any current. Orange light (Fig-V-2 / p.75) will turn on until the temperature
of the machine has returned to normal.
• Do not block/cover the ventillation holes, ensure free flow of air.
• Whilst in thermal protection mode leave the machine plugged into the mains after welding to allow it to cool.
General observations :
• Always respect the basic rules of welding.
• Always work in an adequately ventillated area.
• Do not work on a damp surface.
