SETTINGS PANEL (FIG V)
• Green light «ON»: when the machine is switched on the light turns on.
1
• In case of power failure, the green light goes off but the device remains
powered while the power cable is unplugged.
• Orange light :
• Over-temperature: in such a case you shall wait a few minutes, the light
2
will turn off and the machine will start again.
• Over-current on primary circuit: in such a case you shall switch off the
machine (with the main switch) and switch on.
• Left button:
- MIG / MAG Welding : Adjust the wire feeder speed up to maximum
speed.
3
- MMA welding : Adjust the welding current.
• Right button:
- Adjust the voltage reference up to the maximum value.

Advices
The wire speed adjustment is often determined « by 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.
PROCESS OF REELS AND TORCHES ASSEMBLY (FIG IV):
• Remove the contact tube and its support (fig D), and the nozzle (fig E) from the torch.
Fig A : • Position the wire reel on the reel support :
• Adjust the reel brake (1) to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when welding stops. Be careful not to tighten too much.
Fig B : The drive rollers included have 2 grooves (0,8 and 0,9). For 0.8mm steel wire, use the V shaped groove. For flux cored
wire, remove and reverse the roller to use the 0.9mm groove.
For 0.8mm aluminium wire, remove and replace the roll with a model specifically designed for aluminium with a U shaped groove
(not included).
Fig C : To select the adjustment of the drive rollers.
• Loosen the drive roller knob (3) as far as possible and insert the wire, tighten the knob again slightly.
• Start the motor by pressing the trigger of the torch.
• Tighten the knob whilst pressing the trigger until the wire starts to move.
Nb : When welding with Aluminium, use the minimum possible pressure to avoid crushing the wire
• Leave about 5cm of wire out of the torch, then put the contact tube (fig. D), and the nozzle (fig. E) adapted to the wire to be
used at the extremity.
GAS COUPLING
- Connect a pressure regulator to the gas bottle. Connect the welding machine (fig. F) 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).
This procedure does not apply to «Gasless» welding mode.
