DIRECTIONS OF USE (FIG VI)
MIG/MAG MODE:
SMARTMIG feature allows you to adjust the voltage and the wire speed.
Use the SMART table to find the correct settings based on the type of wire, and the thickness of the metal workpiece.
Then based on the recommendation indicated, simply select :
• The voltage (buttons A/ B & min/max for SMARTMIG 142, 152 & 162
• Wire speed - adjust the regulator (3) to the colour zone indicated.
Examples :
To weld 0.8mm thick steel, use 0.6 mm diameter steel wire (SMARTMIG 142, 152 & 162) :
• Move button (1) to the « A » position
• Move button (2) to the « min » position
• Move the regulator (3) to the zone of lightest colour and adjust « by sound » if required
ADVICE AND THERMAL PROTECTION
• Respect the normal rules of welding
• Leave the machine plugged in after welding to allow it to cool
• Thermal Protection : The LED will illuminate. Cooling will take between 10 and 15 minutes depending on the ambient temperature.
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.

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.
