INITIAL OPERATING
Mains connection
It is important to ensure that the mains supply voltage
is in accordance with the voltage to which the machine
is built. If the machine can be adjusted for use on
several different voltages then the machine must be
checked to confirm that it has been set to the correct
voltage.
Connection of gas bottle
Use only gas bottles with a max. height of 100 cm. If
larger bottles are used the machine may tip over.
Configuration
CAR-O-LINER disclaims all responsibility for damaged
cables and other damages related to welding with
under sized welding torch and welding cables
measured by welding specifications e.g. in relation to
permissible load.
Important!
In order to avoid destruction of plugs
and cables, good electric contact is
required when connecting earth cable
and welding torch to the machine.
Adjustment of wire brake
The wire brake must ensure that the wire reel brakes
sufficiently quickly when welding stops. The required
brake force is depending 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.
Adjustment:
- 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
Warning
Connection to generators can damage the welding
machine.
When connected to a welding machine, generators
can produce large voltage pulses, which can damage
the welding machine. Use only frequency and voltage
stable generators of the asynchronous type.
Defects on the welding machine arisen due to
connection of a generator are not included in the
guarantee.
Dispose of the product according to local
standards and regulations.
