This product takes Ø 200/300 mm wire reel (ecological)
Open the door of the machine.
• Place the reel on the driving pin (3) of the reel support. To install a 200mm wire reel, fit an adaptor on the support
(ref. 042889).
- Adjust the reel brake (4) to avoid the reel inertia tangling the wire when welding stops. Do not overtighten! Tighten
the fixing screw (2).
• The electrical rollers (7) are double groove rollers (Ø 0,8/ Ø 1 or Ø 1/ Ø 1,2). The indication on the visible side of the
roller is the diameter in use. For a Ø1 mm wire, use the Ø1 groove.
• For the first use :
- Release the fixing screw which guides the wire
- Fit the rollers, then tighten the screw retainer (8).
- Put the wire guide in place (6) as close as possible to the roller without contact, then tighten the fixing screw.
• To set the adjusting knob of the drive rollers (5), proceed as follows: Loosen the knob fully, start the motor by pres-
sing the torch trigger, tighten the adjustment knob whilst pressing the trigger. Bend the wire where it comes out of the
nozzle. Put a finger on the bended wire to avoid any movement. The setting is correct when the guide roller slides over
the wire even when it is blocked at the end of the torch.
• Adjustment of the tension on the wire (5): on the scale 3-4 for steel and 2-3 for aluminium.
GAS COUPLING
Connect a pressure regulator to the gas bottle. Connect the welding machine using the pipes, and place the two clamps
to avoid leakages.
Set the gas flow by adjusting the dial located on the pressure regulator.
NB : to help facilitate the adjustment of the gas flow, operate the drive rollers by pressing the trigger of the torch
(ensure that the drive roller is completely loose so the wire is not fed through).

CONTROL PANEL (FIG IV)
1- Voltage selection button min/max.
2- Wire speed regulator.
3- « SMART » settings table MIG/MAG.
4- Thermal Protection light.
DIRECTIONS OF USE
CARMIG feature allows you to adjust the voltage and the wire speed.
Use the SMART table to find the correct settings based on the type of wire, and the thickness of the metal work piece.
Then based on the recommendation indicated, simply select:
• The voltage (rotating witch with 7 positions)
• Wire speed - adjust the regulator (2) to the colour zone indicated.
Examples:
To weld 0.8 mm thick steel, using 0.8 mm diameter steel wire:
• Move the rotating switch (1) to the position 1.
• Move the regulator (2) to the zone of lightest blue colour and adjust “by sound” if required.
