ROLL THE CABLE
ATTENTION: Do not release the cable tension as this may cause subsequent power problems.
1.
Remove the end of the cable from the spool, taking care not to reduce the tension. We recommend you cut
and discard the first 10cm of the cable to avoid knots; then, align the next 15cm of the cable.
2.
Loosen the lock nut and push it towards you.
3.
Raise the arm.
4.
Pass the cable through the guide, over the spool and into the torch protection. Press about 10-15 cm inside
the torch protection.
5.
Lower the arm and replace the locknut. Firmly tighten the locknut.
NOTE: A correct tension will allow the cable to run smoothly through the torch protection, and will
also allow the spool to slide in the event of blockage.
6.
Close the welder side panel.
7.
Remove the torch cover by turning it. Remove the contact tip.
8.
Connect the welder to an electricity source and turn it on.
9.
Set the cable intensity selector to the 7 or 8 position and press the trigger towards the torch
-
The cable will cross through the hose until you reach the end of the torch.
-
Make sure the hose has no folds.
10. Release the trigger and turn off the welder. Then, unplug it.
11. Re-adjust the contact tip. Place the torch cover.
12. Trim the welding cable so that it does not protrude more than 5mm from the end of the contact point.
FUNDAMENTALS OF MIG WELDING
MIG / MAG welding allow melting 2 or more metals of similar characteristics without altering their properties. A filler
wire is continuously introduced into the welding point through a hose and a torch, which also provides inert gas or
mixtures thereof. The wire is connected to a low voltage but high current electrical source to create an electrical arc
between it and the workpiece. The arch is used to create the heat needed to melt the metals. The wire is used to fill.
The gas is used to prevent oxidation and protect the weld from environmental contamination. The gas you choose
will depend on the material to be welded. This machine can do 2 welding processes: MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and MAG
(Metal Active Gas) for which it uses inert and active gases respectively. The first ones do not participate chemically
in the smelting process; the second ones do react chemically. The inert gases used are Argon and Helium; the assets
commonly used are oxygen and CO2 or their mixtures.
