PROCESS OF REELS AND TORCHES ASSEMBLY (PAGE 4) :
Remove the Nozzle (fig IV-E) from the torch by turning clockwise and then remove the contact tip, leaving the
support and the spring on the torch (fig IV-D).
•
Open the door of the machine
FIG IV-A : Position the reel on to the support.
•
In case of 100mm wire reel use, do not install the adapter
①
.
•
Adjust the reel break
②
to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when welding stops.
Be careful not to
tighten too much
- the reel must rotate without straining the motor.
•
Tighten the plastic screw
③
.
FIG IV-B : Installing the drive roller.
•
Choose the correct diameter reel for the type of wire. The visible diameter indicated on the roller when fitted
in place is the diameter currently in use (ie. 0.8mm is visible for use with 0.8mm wire).
FIG IV-C : To select the adjustment of the drive rollers, proceed as follows :
•
Loosen the drive roller knob as far as possible.
•
Insert the wire until it exits the other side by about 2cm, tighten the knob again slightly.
•
Start the motor by pressing the trigger of the torch.
•
Tighten the knob (fig IV-
C
) whilst pressing the trigger until the wire starts to move.
Nb : When welding with Aluminium, use the minimum possible pressure to avoid crushing the wire
•
Pull the wire out of the end of the torch by approximately 5cm, then attach the contact tip suitable for the wire
used and then the nozzle (fig IV-E).
GAS COUPLING
•
Connect a pressure regulator to the gas bottle. Connect the welding machine using the pipes supplied, 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).
This procedure does not apply to "Gasless" welding mode.
CHOICE OF REELS
The SMARTMIG machines can accommodate coils of 100 or 200mm diameter.
The SMARTMIG 3P can also weld with rutile electrodes of 2.0/ 2.5/ 3.2 mm diameter.
Below are the different combinations possible :
* We recommend a teflon sheath (ref.
041578) and special Aluminium contact tip
(Ø 0.8 ref. 041059 - Ø 1.0 ref. 041066)
To help you select the diameter of wire suitable for the job you want to perform,
refer to the table on page 4 (FIG V).
