DESCRIPTION
Thank you for chosing this machine. To get the best use from your machine, please read the following carefully :
The GOLD 180.2/GOLD XL 180.4 is a semi-automatic welding unit; it is ventilated for semi-automatic welding (MIG
or MAG) It is capable of welding steel, stainless steel and aluminium, and with it's « synergic wire speed » function
adjustment is easy and fast.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
The absorbed current (I1eff) is indicated on the device at maximum usage. Check that the power supply and its
protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed for use. In some countries, it might
be necessary to change the plug to allow maximum performance. The device must be installed so that the mains
socket is accessible.
Do not use an extension cable with a diameter of less than 1.5mm². GOLD 180.2/GOLD XL 180.4 is delivered
with a 16amp plug (TYPE CEE7-7), and the machine features a highly efficient PFC and Flexible Voltage
technology. This machine must be connected to an EARTHED power supply between 110V and 230V, 50/60 Hz, and
protected by a 16A circuit breaker (32A on 110V 30mA trip)
When using on a voltage below 165vEFF this will limit the current draw to 16A
-
If the voltage is <85V or >265V, the machine will not start
-
Protected against surges - GOLD will shut off automatically in case of overvoltage
DEVICE PRESENTATION

③ European standard torch connection.
④ Earth clamp socket.
⑤ On/Off switch
⑥ Solenoid Valve.
⑦ Power Cable (2.10 m)
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR STEEL / STAINLESS STEEL (MAG MODE)
GOLD 180.2 & GOLD XL 180.4 can weld Steel wire 0.6 and 0.8mm, and Stainless Steel of 0.8mm
The machine is originally equipped to function with Ø 0.8mm Steel, or Stainless Steel wire. The contact tube, the
groove of the roller and the sleeve of the torch are all compatible with 0.8mm wire. Should you wish to weld 0,6
wire, use a torch of maximum 3m long. You will also need to change the contact tip (Fig II A). The wire reel is
reversable (0.6 / 0.8mm) and will need to be inserted so that the figure 0.6 is visible.
For use with Steel, the gas requirement is argon + CO
depending on the use. For Stainless Steel, use the combination of 2% CO
contact your gas distributor. The gas flow in steel is between 8 and 12 Litres/minute depending on the environment.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR ALUMINIUM (MIG MODE)
This machine is capable of welding Aluminium wire of 0.8 and 1.0mm
For use with aluminium, the gas requirement is pure argon (Ar). For the specific gas requirements please contact
your distributor. The gas flow in Aluminium is between 15 and 25 Litres/minute depending on the environment, and
the experience of the welder.
The differences between use with Steel and Aluminium are:
- Rollers: Use specific rollers for Aluminium welding.
- Pressure: Adjust the pressure of the drive rolls to prevent the wire being crushed.
- Capillary Tube: Only use a capilliary tube for welding with Steel or Stainless Steel.
Use a special Aluminium Torch with a teflon sheath to reduce friction. DO NOT
- Torch:
cut the sheath close to the joint, it is used to guide the wire from the the rollers.
- Contact tube:
Use a special aluminium contact tube specific to the diameter of wire being used.
GASLESS WIRE WELDING
GOLD 180.2 & GOLD XL 180.4 is capable of gasless wire welding up to 0.9mm, provided that the polarity is reversed
(fig C) respecting a maximum pressure of 5Nm. For parameters of use, please refer to the instructions indicated on
page 7. Welding gasless wire with a standard nozzle can lead to overheating and deterioration of the torch. It is
recommended to use a "No Gas" nozzle (ref. 041868), or remove the genuine nozzle (Fig. III D).
