Lift instructions
The lifting points must be used (please see
figure) when lifting the machine.
The machine must not be lifted with
mounted gas bottle.
Do not lift the machine by the handle.
Do not step on the handle
Connection of shielding gas
Connect the gas hose, which branches off from the back panel of
the welding machine (3), to a gas supply with pressure regulator
(2-6 bar).
(Note: Some types of pressure regulators require an output
pressure of more than 2 bar to function optimally).
One/two gas cylinders can be mounted on the bottle carrier on
the back of the trolley.
Gas consumption
Depending on the welding task, gas type and seam design, the
gas consumption will vary in ranges from 6-7 l/min at low
amperages (<25A) and up to 27 l/min at max. amperage.
Material consumption
Material consumption can be estimated by calculating welding
time in minutes times wire feed speed (m/min) times weight per
meter of the welding consumables in use.
Connection of torch for MIG/MAG welding
The welding hose assembly is pushed into the central connector
coupling (4) and the nut (5) is tightened by hand. If a water-cooled
torch is used, the cooling hose is connected to the blue quick-
release fitting (7) and the return hose to the red quick-release
fitting (6). The return lead is connected to the negative pole (8).
Moreover, a multi-plug must be connected on the front of the
machine (9) if the torch is a MIG Manager
®
Note: MIG Manager
can only be connected if a connection kit is
mounted in the machine (special equipment).
Connection of electrode holder for MMA
The electrode holder and return current cable are connected to
plus connection (10) and minus connection (8). Observe the
instructions from the electrode supplier when selecting polarity.
Control of cooling liquid
If the machine is delivered with an integrated torch cooling
module, it will be necessary to inspect the cooling liquid level by
means of the level control (11). Refillment of cooling liquid takes
place through the filler neck (12).
Adjustment of wire brake
The wire brake must ensure that the wire reel brakes sufficiently quickly
when welding stops. The required brake force is dependent on the
weight of the wire reel and the maximum wire feed speed. A brake
torque of 1.5-2.0 Nm will be satisfactory for most applications.

Trolley with automatic mains voltage transition
(Special equipment)
Machines supplied with autotransformer can be connected to the
following mains supplies:
3*230V, 3*400V, 3*440V og 3*500V.
®
.
Press the power switch (13) to turn on the autotransformer (green
indicator light). The built-in energy saver function will automatically turn
off the welding machine after 40 minutes of inactivity. Press the button
(14) to turn on the machine again (red indicator light).
The energy saver function can be permanently disconnected by a
Migatronic technician.
Inching
The function is used for
wire inching e.g. after
change of wire.
Dismount the control knob by
placing a thin screw driver behind
the knob and thereafter pull it out
Adjust the wire brake by fastening
or loosening the self-locking nut on
the axle of the wire hub
Remount the knob by pressing it
back into the groove.
