Always properly secure the gas bottle in a vertical position in a special holder on the wall or in the cart. After you
finish welding, do not forget to close the gas tank valve.

The following installation instructions apply for most reduction valve types:
1.
Step aside and open the gas tank valve (A) for a moment. This way possible dirt particles are blown off the
tank valve.
NOTICE! Watch for high gas pressure!
2.
Turn the pressure regulation screw (B) of the reduction valve until you feel the spring pressure.
3.
Close the reduction valve.
4.
Put the reduction valve on the tank over the intake connection seal and tighten the cap nut (C) with a wrench.
5.
Install the hose adapter (D) with the cap nut (E) to the gas hose and secure it with a hose clamp.
6.
Connect one end of the hose to the reduction valve and the other end to the welding machine. If the torch
had a built-in valve, the hose could be part of the torch.
7.
Tighten the cap nut with the hose to the reduction valve.
8.
Slowly open the tank valve. The tank pressure gauge (F) will show pressure in the tank.
NOTICE!
Do not use all
the tank’s contents. Replace the tank when the pressure drops to approximately 2 bars.
9.
Open the reduction valve.
10.
Turn the regulation screw (B) until the flow meter (G) shows the required flow.

THE WIRE SPOOL INSTALATION
Open the side cover of the wire magazine. Install wire feed pulleys appropriately for the particular wire type and
diameter. (As a standard, pulleys with a V groove for diameter 1.0 – 1.2 mm are installed.)
Set the wire spool driver lock to the open position and attach the wire spool to the driver. The hole in the spool
must slide into the driver peg. Use the included adapters for different spool types as needed. Set the wire spool
driver lock to the closed position.
WELDING WIRE SPOOL BRAKE ADJUSTMENT
The wire feed speed can be regulated by selector 8 (pic. 5) on the front panel. The wire loading can be terminated
by repeatedly pushing button 10 (pic. 5) or by pushing the torch button. During wire loading no gas will flow
through the machine.
