REEL AND TORCH ASSEMBLY (FIG. IV)
This product takes Ø 200/300 mm wire reel (ecological).
• Remove the contact tube and its support (fig. D), and the nozzle (fig. E) from the torch.
Fig A :
• Open the door of the machine.
• Place the reel on the drive pin (3) of the reel support.
• Adjust the reel brake (4) to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when the welding stops. Be careful not to tighten
too much - the reel must rotate without straining the motor.
Fig B :
The drive rolls supplied have two grooves (0.8 V shape groove and 0.9 groove with teeth) :
• For 0.8mm steel wire, use the 0.8 V shape groove.
• For corred wire, turn the drive roll over and use the 0.9 mm groove with teeth.
• For 0.8mm aluminium wire, remove and replace the roll with a model specifically designed for aluminium with a U shaped groove
(not included).
Fig C :
To select the adjustment of the drive rollers.
• Loosen the drive roller knob (3) as far as possible and insert the wire, tighten the knob again slightly.
• Start the motor by pressing the trigger of the torch.
• Tighten the knob whilst pressing the trigger until the wire starts to move.
ATTENTION: When welding with Aluminium, use the minimum possible pressure to avoid crushing the wire.
• Leave about 5cm of wire out of the torch, then put the contact tube (fig. D), and the nozzle (fig. E) adapted to the wire to be
used at the extremity.
GAS CONNECTION
- Connect the manometer (flowmeter) to the gas bottle if needed, then connect the gas hose to the gas connector. To avoid gas
leak, use collars supplied in the accessories box.
- Make sure the gas bottle hold in place respecting chain fastening cf. fig. V.
- Set the gas flow by adjusting the dial located on the pressure regulator.
NB : to help facilitate the adjustment of the gas flow, operate the drive rollers by pressing the trigger of the torch (ensure that the
drive roller is completely loose so the wire is not fed through). Maximum gas pressure 0.5 MPa (5 bars). This procedure does not
apply to «Gasless» welding mode.

• Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain closed during operation!
• Do not wear gloves when feeding the wire through or changing reel.
