12. Welding settings:
When using an AXXAIR welding generator, there is an automatic configuration calculation mode. As to
weld head selection, use either
SATF-40ND or SATF-65ND or SATF-115ND.
Refer to the generator operating manual.
Reminder:
Using closed chamber weld heads requires that the weld head is sufficiently filled with inert gas before
starting to weld, i.e. before generating the arc. This is programmed into the welding station using the "Pre-
Gas" function, which should be set to approximately 20 to 30 seconds with a flow rate of 15/20 l/min,
depending on the dimension of the weld head used.
In tack weld mode, you should open the head after each tack. To save time when working in tack weld
mode, you can use a shorter pre-gas time, but remember to proceed to a fill purge of the weld head when
making the first tack so as to obtain correct ignition.
13. Welding machine maintenance:
Before you use the machine each time, visually inspect the electric cords and water hose. Replace if
necessary.

Maintenance operations should be performed by qualified personnel using authentic replacement
parts.

Before starting, disconnect all power supply sources.

The machine and accessories should always be stored and transported in their original
packaging.

It is essential to keep the machine clean to optimize performance.
It is essential that all foreign bodies are removed from the machine.
Inspect the condition of the rotor on the half collet. If need be, clean the surface using a red Scotch-brite
pad.
It is essential to inspect the condition of the hose running from the weld head to the welding station to
prevent water or gas leaks.
WARNING:
YOU MUST USE A COOLANT RECOMMENDED BY AXXAIR. NEVER ADD WATER TO THE
COOLANT TANK BECAUSE THIS COULD CAUSE CHEMICAL REACTIONS THAT MAY DAMAGE THE
MACHINE AND VOID THE WARRANTY!
