POWER SWITCH
• The material is supplied with a 16A plug type CEE7/7 and must only be used on a single-phase electrical installation 230V (50-60 Hz) with 3 wires
including one connected to earth. The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is indicated on the machine, for optimal use. Check that the power supply
and its protections (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed by the machine. In some countries, it may be necessary to
change the plug to allow the use at maximum settings. The user must ensure that the plug remain accessible.
• The device turns into protection mode if the power supply tension is below or above the 15%. To indicate this default, the screen displays an error
code.
• The power is switched on by rotating the on/off switch to position I (fig 1 - 3) and switched off by rotating it to position O. Warning! Never dis-
connect the power supply when the welding electrical distribution is in operation.
CONNECTION TO A GENERATOR
This welding power source can operate on generators providing that the auxiliary power meets the following requirements:
- The voltage must be alternating, its RMS value must be 230 V -20% +15%, and the peak voltage must be less than 400 V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is imperative to check these requirements as certain generators can create high voltage peaks that can damage machines.
USE OF EXTENSION LEADS
All extension leads must have an adequate size and section, consistent with the voltage of the machine. Use an extension lead that complies with
national safety regulations.
REEL INSTALLATION AND WIRE LOADING (III)
• Remove the nozzle (III-F) and the contact tube (III-E) from the torch.
• Open the machine door.
III-A :
• Position the reel on its support:
- Take into account the drive pin of the reel holder To fit a 200 mm (10kg) wire reel, tighten the wire reel support to the maximum.
• Adjust the brake (III-2) to prevent the wire from tangling when the weld stops. Overall, do not excessively tighten the brake, which would cause
the motor to overheat.
III-B :
• Fit the motor drive rolls suitable for the application. The original drive rolls supplied are double steel groove rollers (1.0 and 1.2).
- Check the marking on the drive roll to ensure that they are suitable for the diameter of the wire
and the material of the wire (for a Ø 1.2 wire, use the Ø 1.2 groove).
- Use drive rolls with V-groove for steel and other hard wires.
- Use drive rolls with U-slots for aluminium and other soft alloy wires.

III-C :
To change the thread, proceed as follows:
• Loosen the knobs (III-4) to the maximum and lower it, insert the wire, then close the motorized reel and tighten the knobs as indicated.
• Operate the motor by pressing the torch trigger or the shuttle (I-5) in the wire change position.
• Remove the wire from the torch by about 5 cm, then place the contact tube adapted to the wire used (III-E) and the nozzle (III-F) at the end of
the torch.
Remarks :
• A torch liner that is too narrow may cause wire feeding problems as well as motor overheating.
• The torch connector must also be tight to prevent overheating.
• Check that neither the MIG/MAG wire nor the wire reel are in contact with the machine's mechanical parts, otherwise there si a
danger of short-circuit.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC SOUDAGE IN ACIER/INOX (MAG MODE)
PULSEMIG can weld steel and stainless steel wire from Ø 0.6 to 1.0 mm (II-A).
The device is supplied as standard to operate with Ø 1.0 mm steel wire (Ø 0.8/1.0 roller). The contact tube, the roller groove, the torch sheath are
designed for this application. When welding wire with a diameter of 0.6, use a torch with a length of no more than 3 m. The contact tube (III-E)
and the drive roll (III-B) in the motor should be replaced by equivalent parts with a 0.6 groove (ref. 042353). In this case, position it in such a way
that the inscription 0.6 (III-B) is facing you.
Welding steel requires a specific gas (Ar+CO2). The proportion of CO2 may vary depending on the gas used. For stainless steel, use a mixture with
2% CO2. When welding with pure CO2, it is necessary to connect a gas preheating device to the gas cylinder. For specific gas requirements, please
enquire with your gas distributor. The gas flow rate for steel is between 8 and 15 litres / minute depending on the environment.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC ALUMINIUM WELDING (MIG MODE)
PULSEMIG can weld aluminium wire from Ø 0.8 to 1.2 mm (II-B).
Aluminium use requires a specific pure argon gas (Ar). For specific gas requirements, please enquire with your gas distributor. The aluminium gas
flow rate is between 15 and 25 l/min depending on the environment and the welder's experience.
