INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During set up,
the operator must ensure that the machine is unplugged.
Risk of injury due to moving parts!
The wire feeders contain moving parts that may catch hand, hair, clothes or tools which can lead to injuries! Take extra care.
• Do not place your hand on mobile/pivoting/wire feeding parts of the machine!
• Make sure that all panels remain closed when in use !
DESCRIPTION
TF 4R is an air-cooled separate wire feeder for the 3-phase MIG/MAG generators MIG 400G/400 DUO. It accepts 200 and 300 mm wire reels.
The TF 4R is equipped with a swivel support to be fixed on the generator.
DEVICE PRESENTATION (I)
1- Reel support (200 or 300mm)
2- Wire feeder
3- Handle
4- Wire speed potentiometer
5- Euro torch connector
6- Lateral torch holder
7- Wheels
ASSEMBLY & CONNECTION (II)
Installing the swivel support on the generator
The black plastic support for the wire feeder is packed within the wire feeder. Remove the retaining screw then the black plastic support. Use the 3
screws supplied to fix the bottom part of the swivel support onto the generator. The upper part of the support is already fixed under the wire feeder.
Gas Coupling
Fit the gas pipe to the connectors (12) and (13) located at the back of the generator (pipes and collars not included).
Connection to the generator
Make sure the generator is switched off before performing this operation.
Connect the wire feeder to the generator, making sure that the power and water connectors are securely tightened (11).
WIRE REEL INSTALLATION (III)
• Open the door of the machine et remove the retaining screw (3)
• Position the reel on to the support (1).
• Adjust the reel brake (2) to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when the welding stops. Be careful not to tighten too much - the reel must rotate
without straining the motor.
• Tighten the plastic screw firmly (3).
• For the first use :
- Release the fixing screw of the wire guide (4)
- Put the rollers in place (5). The visible diameter on the roller should be equal to the wire diameter used.
- Place the wire guide (6) as close as possible to the roller but without touching it, then tighten the fixing screw.
• To select the adjustment of the drive rollers: loosen the drive roller knob as far as possible (7), insert the wire until it exits the other side by about
2cm. Start the motor by pressing the torch trigger, tighten the 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.
USE
TF 4R allows the user welding using the parameters set on the MIG generator. To adjust the settings to the type and diameter of wire used, please
refer to the generator's manual.
It is possible to change the wire speed, in synergic or manual mode using the potentiometer on the front panel.
In order to use the separate wire feeder's torch, press the trigger - the LEDs on the generator's control panel will start to flash, indicating the
change of torch.
The Speed of the wire feeder is between 1m/min to 20m/min. The maximum gas pressure must not exceed 10 bars (1MPa).
WARNING: The torch connected to the generator (DUO version) must be put on its support before
using the torch connected to the wire feeder. If this advice is not followed, a powerful electrical arc
can occur causing serious injury and damage.
COMPATIBILITY
The wire feeder TF-4R is only compatible with the PROMIG / POWERMIG range. Please refer to the electrical drawing for technical features of the
wire feeder motor.
