These parameters are set in different situations in different ways, according to the
welder’s requirements. See paragraph 6.1 to change the value of any function in the current
welding mode
5. METAL-ARC INERT-GAS WELDING/METAL ACTIVE GAS WELDING (MIG/MAG)
Caution! When welding ferrous metals, in the simplest case, carbon dioxide "CO2"
is used as a shielding gas, and when welding aluminium – only inert gases such as argon "Ar",
sometimes helium "He", are suitable. Alternatively, for stainless and high-alloy steels,
mixtures in various proportions “80% Ar+20% CO2” are often used. Use of other gases is
allowed only in agreement with the equipment manufacturer.
Caution! Since the unit has a standard EURO type KZ-2 connector for the torch,
later you can purchase any torch that seems fit.
The procedure for preparing the unit for welding with
solid wire :
- install the source on the base of the wire feeder; for better rigidity, tie the source and the
base with a belt (through the slit-shaped holes on the sides of the source). Belt is included;
- connect the control cable from the wire feeder to connector 18 on the back of the source;
- insert the ground cable into the socket of the source B "-" ;
- connect the grounding cable to the product;
- connect the power current plug of the wire feeder to the socket of the source A "+" ;
- connect and screw TIG welding torch all the way to socket 11 on the wire feeder;
- install the reducing valve on a gas cylinder with shielding gas "CO2” or "Ar+CO2";
-
connect the gas hose to the gas cylinder reducing valve and fitting 21 on the rear panel of
the wire feeder;
- open the gas cylinder valve, check for air-tightness;
- connect the power supply mains cable to the power supply;
- put the automatic switch 12 on the rear panel of the source to the ON position;
- use button 4 to set the MIG/MAG welding mode (the modes are switched in a circle);
- use buttons 2 to set the required welding voltage;
- install a spool of wire with the required diameter;
- lift up the pressure roller rocker;
- lead the free end of the wire through the inlet channel 20 to the TIG torch;
