MAINTENANCE / RECOMMENDATIONS
• Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualified person. Annual maintenance is recommended.
• Ensure the machine is unplugged from the mains, and wait for two minutes before carrying out maintenance work. DANGER
High Voltage and Currents inside the machine.
• Remove the casing 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections checked by a qualified
person, with an insulated tool.
• Regularly check the condition of the power supply cable. If the power cable is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its after sales
service or an equally qualified person.
• Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
• Do not use this equipment to thaw pipes, to charge batteries, or to start any engine.
RISK OF INJURY DUE TO MOVING PARTS!
The wire feeders contain moving parts that may catch hand, hair, clothes or tools which can lead to injuries! Take extra care.
• Do not place your hand on mobile/pivoting/wire feeding parts of the machine!
• Make sure that all panels remain closed when in use !
• Do not wear gloves when feeding the wire through or changing reel.
Minimum and maximum filler metal diameter : Ø 0,6 – Ø 0,8 mm
Minimum and maximum wire speed: 1 m/min to 15 m/min
Maximum gas pressure : 0,5 MPa (5 bars).
DESCRIPTION
The MIG CARPRO 230 V are «synergic» semi-automatic welding units on wheels, ventilated for welding (MIG or MAG).
They are recommended to weld steel, stainless steel, aluminium and for “MIG Brazing” of high-tensile strength steels
with CuSi and CuAl wires (ideal for car body repairs). Their adjustment is quick and easy with their « synergic wire
speed » function. The MIG CARPRO 230 V work on single phase 230V.
ELECTRICITY SUPPLY
The absorbed current (I1rms) is indicated on the device, for its maximum setting. Check that the power supply and its
protection (fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current needed by the machine. The device must be
positioned so that the socket is always accessible.
- MIG CARPRO 230 V are delivered with a 16 A single-phase plug type JT 003-B with earth connector.
- The MIG CARPRO 230 V have to be connected to a single phase power supply - 230V earthed power supply with a
circuit breaker 16A and 1 differential 30mA.
CONTROLS AND FEATURES (FIG I)
1- switch On-Off
2- 6 positions power adjustement switch : aloows adjust-
ment of the welding voltage at the generator output. The
adjustment of the output voltage is proportional to the
thickness of the material to weld. (fig V)

automatic mode)
4- European standard torch coupling
5- torch support
6- supply cable (2m).
7- out earth cable
8- gas bottles support (max 1 bottle 4m³).
9- fastening chain for bottles
10- reel sopport 200/300 mm
11- solenoid valve.
12- torch cable support
13- wheel drive system
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR STEEL/STAINLESS STEEL (MAG MODE)(FIG II)
These welding can weld 0.6/0.8 steel and stainless steel wires (fig II-A). The device is capable of working with Ø 0.8 mm
steel wire (contact tube Ø 0.8, roller Ø 0.6/0.8). If you need to use Ø 0.6mm wire, you will have to change the contact
tube, and ensure that the reversible rollers in the wire feeder are posititioned correctly (so that the writing that states
“0.6mm” is visible when in place). For Steel or Stainless Steel, you will need to use specific gas - Argon + CO2 (Ar +
CO2). The proportion of CO2 will vary depending on usage. The gas flow in steel is between 8 and 12L / min depending
on the environment and experience of the welder. For the specific requirements, seek advice from your gas distributor.
