22.  Soft start adjustment which controls the 

acceleration of the wire feed motor when the arc 

starts to reduce spatter and give a cleaner arc 

initiation.

23.  Burn back control affects the wire feed motor 

over run when the trigger is released and can be 

adjusted to ensure that the wire does not burn 

back onto the contact tip at the end of the weld

24.  Pressure adjuster Used to adjust the pressure 

allied by the feed rollers on the welding wire.

25.  Shielding gas input connection 3/8 BSP male 

connection for the shielding gas input.

26.  Interconnection cable control socket input

27.  Welding power connection.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

• ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.

• Only qualified personnel should perform this 

installation.

• Only personnel that have read and understood the 

Operating Manual should install and operate this 

equipment.

• Machine must be grounded per any national, local 

or other applicable electrical regulations.

• The MIG power switch is to be in the OFF position 

when installing work cable and torch and when 

connecting other equipment.

5.1 Unpacking the Machine

Cut banding and lift off cardboard carton. Cut banding 

holding the machine to the skid. Remove corrugated 

packing material. Remove accessories from Gas Bottle 

Platform.. Roll the machine off the skid

5.2 Location

 

Locate the welder in a dry location where there is 

free circulation of clean air into the louvres in the 

back and out the front. A location that minimizes the 

amount of smoke and dirt drawn into the rear louvres 

reduces the chance of dirt accumulation that can 

block air passages and cause overheating.

5.3 Input and grounding connection 

WARNING

Before starting the installation, check that your power 

supply is adequate for the voltage, amperage, phase, 

and frequency specified on the Machine nameplate.

The 400 volt 50 Hz machine  is supplied with a 4m 

input cable and without plug, ensure that you connect 

a plug that is suitably rated for the power draw of 

the machine and the environmental location. Have a 

qualified electrician connect the input plug. For long 

runs over 30m , larger copper wires should be used. 

The green/yellow wire in the input cable connects 

to the frame of the machine. This ensures proper 

grounding of the machine when the machine plug is 

inserted into the receptacle.

5.4 Assembly of Separate wire feeder

Note:- if the wire feeder is going to be used remotely 

to the power source there is not need to assemble the 

mounting post. 

If the wire feeder is to be used local to the power 

source.

Place the flat chrome disc over the hole in the top of 

the power source lid . Insert the threaded chrome 

post thread end first through the flat disc and screw
