• Slide a clip over each end of the gas hose supplied. Push one end of the hose onto the regulator outlet
and the other end over the gas inlet spigot on the back of the welder. See fig.2G. Tighten the clips to
ensure a good seal.
• Close the regulator valve by turning it anticlockwise before opening the cylinder valve. Stand to one
side when opening the cylinder valve.
• Set the regulator flow rate to 5-8 liters/min depending on the material to be welded, and whether there
are draughts which are strong enough to disturb the gas flow.
CONNECT THE TORCH CABLE TO THE WELDER. Align the pins on the Euro connector with the
•
socket on the welder front panel as shown in fig.5. Push the connector into the socket and rotate the
locking ring (A) clockwise so that it draws the plug into the socket as shown in fig.6. Note: damage to
torches and cables is not covered by warranty.
Fiting a 15kg rel of wire. Ensure that the wire diameter used, is matched by the correct groove size in
•
the drive wheel and the correct tip size on the torch as well as the correct torch liner. Failure to do this
could cause the wire to slip and/or bind. Unscrew the locking knob from the end of the spool holder
(see fig.7C) and remove the spacer (B). The spacer is not required for 15kg reels of wire. Slide the reel
of wire onto the spool holder and ensure that the clutch pin at the back of the spool holder (E) engages
into the guide hole in the wire reel moulding. This will prevent the wire reel from freewheeling on the
spool holder. Ensure that the wire is coming off the ottom of the reel in the direction of the wire drive
unit as shown in fig.8 below.
