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 lay a hand to swivel or moving components or parts to the drive!
• Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain closed during operation!
MAINTENANCE
- Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person.
- Switch the machine off, ensure it is unplugged, and that the ventilator inside has stopped before carrying out maintenance work. (DANGER High
Voltage and Currents).
- GYS recommends removing the steel cover 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections
checked by a qualified person with an insulated tool.
- Regularly check the condition of the power supply cord. If damaged, it will need to be replaced by the manufacturer, its' after sales service or a
qualified person.
- Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.

remedies
Clean out the contact batch or change it and
replace the anti-adherence product. Ref.041806
Control the roller pressure or replace it.
Wire diameter non-compatible with roller
Covering wire guide in the torch non-compatible.
Release the brake and rollers.
Check that the power switch is in the "On"
position.
Clean or replace.
Release the brake.
Check the mains connection and look if the plug
is fed by 400 V (3PH) power socket.
Check the earth cable (connection and clamp
condition).
Check the torch trigger / replace torch.
Check the sheath and torch body.
Clean or replace.
Check the presence of capillary tube.
Reduce the wire speed.
Adjust flow range 15 to 20 L / min. Clean the
working metal.
Replace it.
Replace it.
Prevent drafts, protect welding area.
Clean or replace the gas nozzle.
Use suitable WIRE for MIG-MAG welding.
Clean the metal before welding.
See welding settings.
Adjust the earth cable for a better connection.
Adjust the gas flow.
Check the gas connection at the welding
machine. Check the flowmeter and the solenoid
valves.
