MIG / NO GAS MANUAL WELDING (REF. FIGURE 1)
Before connecting the unit to the mains, verify that all the accessories are correctly installed and mounted
for welding (torch, wire spool etc ...).
•
Select Manual MIG Welding function with the Selector Switch (6) on the front panel.
•
Switch the unit ON thru the ON/OFF switch (14) on the back side of the unit.
•
Press the torch trigger to load the wire.
•
Set the welding parameters:
1.
Wire feed speed: use Left Knob (8) to adjust the wire speed expressed in mm on the Left Di-
splay (4).
2.
Arc voltage: use the Right Knob (7) to adjust arc voltage value (no load) from 12V to 35V.
•
Bring the torch close to the work piece and press the trigger.
1.
Wire feeder Slope-Up Time (Min. to Max. speed transition time), adjustable with the poten-
tiometer located inside the access panel (16). Slope-Up Time is set at minimum by default.
2.
At the end of the Slope-Up Time, the wire feed speed reaches the value adjusted with the Left
knob (8).
•
To stop welding, release the trigger (in 2-stroke mode) or short press the torch trigger (in 4-stroke
mode). The arc stays ON according to the set B.B.T.. The burn back time prevents the wire from
sticking to the weld pool and prepares the wire on the torch at the ideal length for subsequent arc
strike. The parameter can be set with the potentiometer (17), by default it is set to the middle point.
SYNERGIC MIG WELDING (REFER TO FIGURE 1)
•
Select the MIG Syn function thru the Selector Switch (6) on the front panel.
•
MIG Synergy functions permits the operator to get the optimal welding parameters simply setting the
thickness of the material to be welded (Left Knob -8-). Once this parameter is set, the synergic fun-
ction automatically adjusts the wire speed and the welding voltage allowing the operator to balance
this last value if necessary with the Right Knob (7).
•
Switch the unit ON thru the ON/OFF switch (13) on the back side of the unit.
•
Press the torch trigger to load the wire and check that the gas is flowing from the welding torch.
•
Select the thickness of the material to be welded using the Left Knob (8).
•
Adjust the arc voltage using the Right Knob (7) if necessary. Possible variation is +/-5V on the base
value adjusted by default ( "0" on the display). Bring the torch close to the work piece and press the
trigger.
1.
Wire feeder Slope-Up Time (Min. to Max. speed transition time), adjustable with the poten-
tiometer located inside the access panel (16). Slope-Up Time is set at minimum by default.
2.
At the end of the the Slope-Up Time, the wire feed speed reaches the value adjusted with the
Left knob (8).
•
To stop welding, release (in 2-stroke mode) or short press (in 4-stroke mode) the torch trigger. The
arc stays ON according to the set B.B.T.. The burn back time prevents the wire from sticking to the
weld pool and prepares the wire on the torch at the ideal length for subsequent arc strike. The pa-
rameter can be set with the potentiometer (17), by default it is set to the middle point.
ALUMINUM WELDING
The machine needs to be set up as follows:
•
100% ARGON as welding protective gas.
•
Ensure that your torch is set up for aluminum welding:
1.
The lenght of the torch should not exceed 3m (it is advisable not to use longer torches).
2.
Install a teflon wire liner (follow the instructions for the replacing of the wire liner).
3.
Use contact tips that are suitable for aluminum wire and make sure that the diameter of the contact
tip hole corresponds to the wire diameter that is going to be used.
•
Ensure that drive rolls are suitable for aluminum wire.
