Translation of the original instructions
- The electrical roller (fig IV-4) is a double groove roller (0,6/ 0,8 and 0,8/1). The indication on the visible side of the
roller is the diameter in use. For a 0,8 wire, use the 0,8 groove.
- For the first use:
- Release the fixing screw of the wire guide.
To set the adjusting knob of the pressing rollers (fig IV-5), proceed as follow: loosen the knob fully, start the motor by
pressing the torch trigger, tighten the adjustment knob whilst pressing the trigger. Bend the wire where it comes out of
the nozzle and hold it in place to stop its progress. The setting is correct when the guide roller slides over the wire even
when it is blocked at the end of the torch. A common adjustment is the rollers command (fig IV-5) on the scale 3 for
steel and 2 for aluminium.Nb: for the aluminium wire put a minimum pressure in order not to crush the wire.

«MANUAL» MODE (FIG V)
1-welding mode choice :
- Normal (2T) : standard two-stage welding
- Delay: intermittent welding modes for an optimised
operating procedure.
- Spot:spotwelding with ajustable spot diameter
2- Wire speed settings : wire speed fitting potentiometer.
The speed varies from 1 to 15L/minute.
3- Spot/delay potentiometer fitting
4- Manual mode : In manual mode, the wire speed is de-
terminated by the user by adjusting the potentiometer (2).
«MANUAL» MODE (FIG V)
To set your device, proceed as follow:
- Choose the welding voltage using the 7 positions switch
Example: position 1 for 0,6 mm metal sheets and position 7 for 4 mm metal sheets.
- Adjust the wire speed with the potentiometer(2).
Advice:
The wire speed adjustment is often determinated « with the noise »: 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.

5- Synergic mode: position the potentiometer (2) in the
middle of the «optimal synergic» zone. In this mode, the
device determines the optimal wire speed according to 3
parameters :
- Voltage
- Wire diameter (5a)
- The power mode (5b).
It's possible to adjust the wire speed +/-.
In position Normal(2T), 2 modes are proposed to ease
the settings of the device: Manual or Synergic.
6- thermal protection light : informs when a short break
is necessary following intensive use.
