Translation of the original instructions
- Put the wire guide in place (6) as close as possible to the roller without contact, then tighten the fixing screw.
• To set the adjusting knob of the drive rollers (5), proceed as follows: Loosen the knob fully, start the motor by pres-
sing the torch trigger, tighten the adjustment knob whilst pressing the trigger. Bend the wire where it comes out of the
nozzle. Put a finger on the bended wire to avoid any movement. The setting is correct when the guide roller slides over
the wire even when it is blocked at the end of the torch.
• Adjustment of the tension on the wire (5): on the scale 3-4 for steel and 2-3 for aluminium.
GAS COUPLING
Connect a pressure regulator to the gas bottle. Connect the welding machine using the pipes, and place the two clamps
to avoid leakages.
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).
CHOICE OF REELS
The CARMIG machines can accommodate reels of 200 or 300 mm diameter.
Below are the different combinations possible:
Reel type
Steel
INOX
CuSi3
CuAl8
Alu AlMg5*
* We recommend a Teflon sheath (ref. 041578) and special Aluminium contact tip (Ø 0.8 ref. 041059 – Ø 1.0 ref. 041066)
CONTROL PANEL (FIG IV)
1- Voltage selection button min/max.
2- Wire speed regulator.
DIRECTIONS OF USE
CARMIG 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 work piece.
Then based on the recommendation indicated, simply select:
• The voltage (rotating witch with 7 positions)
• Wire speed - adjust the regulator (2) to the colour zone indicated.
Examples:
To weld 0.8 mm thick steel, using 0.8 mm diameter steel wire:
• Move the rotating switch (1) to the position 1.
• Move the regulator (2) to the zone of lightest blue colour and adjust "by sound" if required.
DUTY CYCLE & WELDING ENVIRONMENT IN USE
This welding unit has an output characteristic «constant tension» The duty cycles according to the EN60974-1 standard
(cycle of 10 min at 40 ° C) are indicated in the following table :
X / 60974-1 @ 40°C (T cycle = 10 min)
Note: the running hot tests have been carried out at atmosphere temperature and duty cycle has been determined at
40°C by simulation.
• These are A-class devices. They are designed to be used in an industrial or professional environment. In a different en-
vironment, it can be difficult to ensure electromagnetic compatibility, due to conducted disturbances as well as radiation.
