4.1.1. START-UP. PRELIMINARY OPERATIONS FOR MIG/MAG WELDING.
1st) Make sure the mains voltage is 400V/ 440V.
2nd) Change the polarity if it is necessary. Polarity to negative (with Flux-cored wire without gas).
3rd) Depending on the wire diameter, fit the groove of the suitable drive roll to the work to be carried out.
4th) Choose suitable gas to wire type to be welded. If gas cylinders are placed on the transport trolley, check that
they are well secured by the bottle-holder system. Check that the safety chain is perfectly fastened.
5th) Install the regulator and connect gas hose checking that there are no leakages throughout the whole circuit.
Gas flow must be between 8-16 l/min, depending on the welding power.
6th) In cooled systems, verify the connection between cooling module to the machine.
7th) Fit the wire reel into the drive roll support axle.
8th) Fit the welding wire into the wire feeding system. Do not force the wire pressure lever, as if this is too tight, it
can cause the forming of loops and if the lever is too slack, the wire could slip. (MIG/MAG).
9th) Once the wire has been fitted, we can then connecting up the torch to Euro-connector.
10th) In cooled system, connect the torch cooling hoses to cooling module respecting the blue and red colours
(cooled system)
.
11th) Purge the gas by means of torch button, checking that the flow is between 8 and 16 l/min. Carry out a purge
wire by means of wire button.
12th) In cooled systems, switch on the cooling and check that coolant is within the indicated levels
(cooled system).
4.1.2. ALUMINIUM WELDING. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ITS INSTALLATION.
Welding aluminium can result in a complicated wire feeding problem if a series of basic measures during the
installation process is not taken.
We advise a length of no more than 3 m, inserting polyamide liner as described in the pictures below

In the case of liners without stop
at contact tip, leave the liner as
near as possible to the contact
tip.
Screw the liner fastening stop.
Secure the liner conduit with the
locknut and trim the excess liner
leaving it at the right
measurement.
Leave the liner as close as
possible to the motor drive roll.
Incorporate complete KIT of upper drive rolls for aluminium Ref. 42316227 for diam. 1.0 - 1.2 mm.
At least the lower drive rolls incorporated when welding aluminium must have type "U” groove format, so that the
pressure on the wire does not produce its deformation. With this KIT, we can replace the upper (flat) drive rolls with
others that incorporate a “U” shaped groove, which will reduce the deformation of the aluminium wire to a
minimum.
