3.1 START-UP. PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS.
In principle, the system must be connected as indicated in the previous chapter and before starting the
system up definitely, the following steps must be taken:
1) Make sure the mains voltage coincides with that established in the machine.
2) Connect supply cable to the relative electrical power outlet. Do not forget to fit the earth connection into the
plug.
3) Check that the gas bottle is well protected by the bottle-holder system, and above all, check that the safety
chain is properly placed.
4) Install the pressure reducing valve and connect gas hose checking that there are no leakages, throughout
the whole circuit.
5) Fit the relative adapter onto the wire reel and fit this assembly into the wire reel support axle.
6) Depending on the wire diameter, fit the groove of the correct driving wheel.
7) Fit the wire into the driving system. Does not force the wire pressure handle, as if this is too tight, the motor
remains on overload and does not reach the maximum speed, and if the handle is too slack, the wire
could slip. Once the wire has been set in place, you can connect the torch, as the machine is ready to
begin welding.
