Electrode Welding - GYS EASYMIG 160 Manual Del Usuario

ELECTRODE WELDING

• The reverse polarity cable must be disconnected in MMA (stick welding) mode in order to connect the electrode holder and earth
clamp. Connect the electrode holder and earth clamp as indicated on the electrode packaging.
• Respect the basic rules of welding.
• This device has 1 feature specific to Inverter machines :
- Anti-Sticking: Enables easy removal of the electrode from the metal. The anti-sticking feature, after its start, requires approximately
a 3 seconds delay before resuming normal welding operations.
SETTINGS PANEL (FIG V)
• Green light «ON»: when the machine is switched on the light turns on.
1
• In case of power failure, the green light goes off but the device remains powered while the
power cable is unplugged.
Orange light :
• Over-temperature: in such a case you shall wait a few minutes, the light will turn off and the
2
machine will start again.
• Over-current on primary circuit: in such a case you shall switch off the machine (with the main
switch) and switch on.
• Left button:
- MIG / MAG Welding : Adjust the wire feeder speed up to maximum speed.
3
- MMA welding : Adjust the welding current.
• Right button:
4
- Adjust the voltage reference up to the maximum value.
Welding arc dynamic potentiometer : Can manually adjust the arc dynamic.
5
MINI to MAX settings : Hard arc to soft arc.
Advices
The wire speed adjustment is often determined « with the assistance of sound »: the arc must be stable and have a low crackling.
If the speed is too low, the arc is not continuous.
If the speed is too high, the arc crackles and the wire pushes back the torch.
The inductance adjusment is done according to the welder's preferences :
The lower the inductance, the more the arc will be hard and guiding.
The higher the inductance and the softer the arc with little splatter.
PROCESS OF REELS AND TORCHES ASSEMBLY (FIG IV)
• Remove the contact tube and its support (fig D), and the nozzle (fig E) from the torch.
Fig A :
• Position the wire reel on the reel support :
• Adjust the reel brake (1) to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when welding stops. Be careful not to tighten too much.
For a 200mm wire reel tighten the reel to the maximum. The adaptor (4) is only to be used for a 200mm reel.
Fig B :
The drive rollers included have 2 grooves (0,8 and 0,9). For 0.8mm steel wire, use the V shaped groove. For flux cored wire, remove
and reverse the roller to use the 0.9mm groove.
For 0.8mm aluminium wire, remove and replace the roll with a model specifically designed for aluminium with a U shaped groove
(not included).
