6) OPERATION
1) Set the ON/OFF switch of the power source in ON and adjust the output voltage to an estimate value
which is adequate to the application.
2) With the welding gun, wire and pressure and feed rollers correctly installed, lift the pressure rollers and
pass the free wire tip through the inlet nozzle, intermediate nozzle and the outlet nozzle until it goes
through the gun conduit; place the wire on the roller groove which corresponds to its diameter and then
tighten, not in excess, the pressure rollers on the traction rollers by using the pressure arms.
3) Adjust the wire speed release to a relatively low value and press the plug of the manual wire speed to
bring the free wire tip up to the output through the contact tip of the welding gun.
4) Open the arc and adjust the output source voltage and the wire speed.
7) MAINTENANCE
7.1) Recomendations
The wire feeder requires little maintenance in normal environment and opperation conditions. It is sufficient
to blow it dry clean using dry compressed air free from oil once a month.
After cleaning the equipment with blow dry air, check that the electric connections and components are
properly fixed. Check for possible faults in the wire isolations or electric cables, including the welding cable
and any others and if any of them is faulty substitute it.
When working with damaged wires or cable or with worn out isolation, the non-isolated parts, can become
in contact with another part of an earth connected object.The electric arc which results from this contact can
hurt the eyes if not protected and cause a fire. The body contact of a part with another conductor without
isolation can cause a violent electric hazard, burns and even death.
N.B.: Cleaning and preventive maintenance should be intensified when
operating in environment contaminated by dust, soot or any other poluent which
can cause damage or harm to the performance.
ATTENTION:
In case of doubts about the operation or maintenance of this or any other ESAB product brand and
