Set-Up For Mig (Fcaw) Welding With Gas Less Mig Wire - Vector Welding MIG Serie Mode D'emploi

Operation
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being
fused in the terminal.
Remove any packaging material prior to use. DO NOT block the air vents at the front or rear
of the Welding Power Source.
NOTE
Depending on the type of wire you will be using the MIG Gun polarity may need to be switched.
Follow the wire manufacturers recommendation.

3.8 Set-up for MIG (FCAW) welding with gas less MIG wire

When using a gasless flux cored wire, you do not need to have an external gas source attached
to the unit. For most Self Shielded Flux Cored Wire, connect the Work Lead to the positive
+ terminal and connect the MIG Torch polarity lead to european Interface (See layout
for the control panel 3.1, item 12). Turn in the In case of doubt to the manufacturer. If in
doubt, consult the Flux Cored electrode wire manufacturer.
1. Turn the Main ON/OFF switch OFF (located on the rear panel).
2. Check that the MIG wire size, contact tip, MIG Gun liner and drive roll groove are all the
same size before tting the MIG wire into the Power Source.
3. Connect the MIG Gun Polarity Lead to european Interface. If in doubt, consult the MIG
electrode wire manufacturer. Welding current ows from the Power Source via heavy duty
bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and turned
securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
4. Fit the MIG (FCAW) wire spool and MIG Gun to the machine.

5. Connect the work lead to the positive welding terminal (+). If in doubt, consult the MIG
electrode wire manu- facturer. Welding current ows from the Power Source via heavy duty
bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and turned
securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
6. If gasless MIG (FCAW) wire is fitted then shielding gas is not required for welding. Otherwise
fit the welding grade shielding gas regulator / ow gauge to the shielding gas cylinder then
connect the shielding gas hose from the rear of the machine to the regulator/ow gauge
outlet.
7. Turn the Main ON/OFF switch ON (located on the rear panel).
8. Select MIG mode.
9. Remove the MIG Gun nozzle and contact tip.
10. Depress MIG Gun trigger to feed the MIG wire out through the MIG Gun gas diffuser
then fit the contact tip on the MIG wire and securely fasten it to the MIG Gun then
fit the nozzle in place.
11. Refer to the Weld Guide located on the inside of the wire feed compartment door for
further information on Voltage/Wirespeed settings.
WARNING
Before connecting the work clamp to the work make sure the mains power supply isswitched OFF.
CAUTION
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being
fused in the terminal.
Remove any packaging material prior to use. DO NOT block the air vents at the front or rear
of the Welding Power Source.
NOTE
