Torch connection

Plug in the centralplug

 of the torch

 1

 into the central socket

16

. At machines with water-cooling: Connect additionally the 

waterconnections

 20

 of the torch with the sockets

 18

 and

 19

Please keep attention at the colour labelling.
Red = water back-run

How to connect the ground cable

Connect the ground cable

 22

 at the groundconnection

 14

 and 

fasten it turning to right and connect the ground clamp

 13

 to 

the workpiece or at the welding table.

How to connect the ground clamp

Fasten the ground clamp

 13

 near the welding location, this 

avoids that the current will flow trough machineparts or con-

trols.
Please keep attention that the connections between ground 

clamp and workpiece is constant.

Do not place the ground clamp on the welding machine or 

gas cylinder, otherwise welding current is conducted via 

the protective conductors and will destroy them.
Connect the ground clamp tightly to the welding bench or 

to the workpiece.

How to connect at the mains

Plug in the plug into the mains socket. The fusing should be 

corresponding to the technical data.

How to insert the wirespool

Open the lid at the machine or at the wire-feed case

 2

 and 

screw off the nut

 26

 from the wire-coil pick-up

 24

.

Put on the wire coil at the wire-coil pick-up and pay attention 

that the tappet is well insert at the coil

 23

.

By use of small wire coils please use the adapter.
Adjust the brake

 25

 by releasing the torch button the wire coil 

do not continue to turn.

Insert of the wire electrode

Screw out the contact tip at the torch

 1

.

Open the lid at the unit or at the wire feeder

 2

.

The diameter of the wire should correspond to the diameter of 

the feeding rolls. This is readable on the front at the built in 

feeding roll

 29

.

Lift the lever

 27

 and thread in the wire electrode trough the in-

let nozzle

 28

 and the central connection

 16

.

Close the lever

 30

 and fasten it with the sweep levers

 27

.

Switch on machine at main switch

 11

, stretch torch cable and 

press button wire insert

 on operating panel. Adjust the 

pressure at the modulation screws

 27

 that the wire-feed rolls

29

 even still are turning by holding the wire coil. The wire 

should not be clamped or deformed.
