Adjusting the welding machine Euro torch connector
On delivery, the Euro torch connector is fitted with a capillary tube for welding torches with steel
liners!

Preparation work on the euro torch connector to connect welding torches with
plastic liners
• Push forward the capillary tube on the wire feed side in the direction of the euro torch connector and
remove at that point.
• Push on the guide pipe from the euro torch connector.
• Carefully insert the central plug for the welding torch, with the still oversized plastic core, into the euro
torch connector and screw together with crown nut.
• Use a special cutter or sharp knife to cut off the plastic core shortly before the wire feed roller, making
sure not to pinch it.
• Unfasten and remove the central plug on the welding torch.
• Cleanly remove the burr from the separated end of the plastic core!
5.3.2
Preparation work on the central connector to connect welding torches with spiral
guides
• Check that the capillary tube is correctly positioned in relation to the central connector!

Assemble the wire guide
Use the correct wire guide from spool to molten pool!
The wire guide has to be adjusted to the wire electrode type and diameter in order to achieve
good welding results!
• Equip the wire feeder according to wire electrode type and diameter!
• Refer to the manufacturer instructions for the right wire feed unit equipment. Refer to Annex 1
in these operating instructions for the right EWM machine equipment.
• Use a steel liner inside the torch hose package to guide hard, unalloyed wire electrodes
(steel)!
• Use a plastic liner inside the torch hose package to guide soft or alloyed wire electrodes!
