Make sure that the supply voltage corresponds to the rated
voltage of the welding machine.
Size the protective fuses based on the data listed on the
technical specifications plate.
Connect the gas hose of the welding machine to the pressure
regulator of the cylinder.
Mount the MIG torch on the fitting C.
Connect the earth cable to the socket D and the earth clamp to
the workpiece. Make sure that the groove of the rollers matches
the wire diameter used.
To replace if necessary: open the side door, mount the wire coil
and slip the wire into the feeder and torch sheath, block the wire
press rollers with the knob and adjust the pressure. Turn on the
machine.
Select the suitable synergic curve, following the instructions
given in the service functions (PROCESS PARAMS)
paragraph. Remove the gas nozzle and unscrew the current
nozzle of the torch. Press the torch button until the wire comes
out. BE CAREFUL to keep your face away from the end
lance while the wire is coming out, screw up the current
nozzle and fit the gas nozzle.
Open the canister adapter and adjust the gas flow to 8 – 10
l/min.
During welding, the display screen B displays the actual work
current and voltage. The displayed values may be slightly
different to those set. This can depend on numerous different
factors, type of torch, thickness different to nominal thickness,
distance between current nozzle and the material being welded,
and the welding speed.
After welding, the current and voltage values remain stored on
the display B, where the word HOLD is displayed. To display
the set values, the knob A will have to be moved slightly, while,
by pushing the torch button without welding, the display screen
B shows the empty voltage value and a current value of 0.
If, while welding the maximum current and voltage values are
exceeded, said values are not stored on the display and the
word HOLD is not displayed.
NOTE If 0.6mm diameter wires are used the welding torch
sheath should be replaced with one of suitable internal
diameter.
If the internal diameter of the sheath is too big it does not
guarantee smooth wire feeding.
6 DESCRIPTION OF FUNCTIONS SHOWN ON THE
DISPLAY SCREEN B.
When the machine is switched on, for a few moments the
display screen B displays: the article number of the machine,
the version and development date of the software, and the
release number of the synergic curves.
Immediately after switch-on, the display screen B shows: the
synergic curve used, the welding mode 2T or 4T, SPOT
function, if active, the welding current, the speed of the welding
wire in metres/min, the welding voltage and the recommended
thickness.
To increase or decrease the welding parameters, simply adjust
by means of knob A. The values all change together in a
synergic way.
To change the welding voltage V, simply press the knob A for
less than 2 seconds. The display screen will show (Arc Length)
an adjustment bar with central 0. The value can be changed by
means of the knob A from -9.9 to 9.9. To exit from the function,
briefly press the knob A.
6.1 SERVICE FUNCTIONS (PROCESS PARAMS) SHOWN
ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN B.
To access these functions, we must start from the main display
page and press the knob A for at least 2 seconds.
To enter the function, simply select it by means of the knob A
and press it for less than 2 seconds.
To return to the main display page, press the knob A for at least
2 seconds.
The functions that can be selected are:
•
Synergic curve (Wire Selection).
To choose the synergic curve, by means of the knob A, it is
necessary to select and press on the curve presented by
the display screen B. Simply select the curve of interest and
confirm the choice by pressing the knob A for less than 2
seconds.
After pressing the knob A return is made to the previous
display page (PROCESS PARAMS).
• Welding mode (Start Mode).
Mode 2T, the machine starts welding when the torch button
is pressed and stops when this is released. Mode 4T, to start
welding, press and release the torch button. To complete
welding, press and release again. To choose the welding
start mode 2T or 4T, select one of the 2 modes by means of
the knob A and press the knob A for less than 2 seconds to
confirm the choice. This operation always returns us to the
previous display page (PROCESS PARAMS).
• Spot and pause time (Spot).
If we select the spot ON time, the Spot Time function
appears on the display screen. If we select this, we can
adjust it from 0.3 to 25 seconds by means of the adjustment
bar. Besides this function, the display screen also shows
Pause Time. If we select this, by means of the adjustment
bar, we can regulate the pause time between one welding
point or section and another. The pause time varies
between 0 (OFF) and 5 seconds.
To access the Spot Time and Pause Time functions, press
the knob A for less than 2 seconds. Adjustment is always
made by means of the knob A. To confirm, simply press it
for less than 2 seconds. Once the choice has been
confirmed, return is always made to the display page
(PROCESS PARAMS).
