INTRODUCTION AND GENERAL DESCRIPTION
This compact machine is used for arc welding (from now on
called WELDER) and has been designed specifically for the
MAG welding of carbon steel and low-alloy steel with either
C0 or Argon/C0 mixture shielding gas using solid .

manual is equipped with a lifting device.
Argon gas using electrode wires suited to the piece to be
welded.
The welder is fitted with a flat power transformer complete
with damping inductor and Graetz bridge rectifier.
In addition a direct current permanent magnet gear-motor is
installed in an accessible opening in the welder. This gear-
motor can take reels of up to 15 Kg.
The welder also has a torch and a return cable complete

OPTIONALS
- Electronic control box for pulse-welding
In addition to the adjustments and controls of the
standard electronic board, this board allows pulse-
welding. The welding and interval times can be set by two
timers which can be adjusted by means of two knobs
which are marked with appropriate symbols.
- Accessory for aluminium welding
Teflon wire guide hose for torch Ø 1-1.2 mm.
Roller for aluminium Ø 1.0-1.2 mm.
Contact tips for aluminium Ø 1.0 mm.
Contact tip for aluminium Ø 1.2. mm
- Metal-sheet plating equipment
made up of the following pieces:
electrode-holding pincer, electrode-holder for torch ,
copper-plated coal electrode .
- Riveting equipment
made up of:
special nozzle with rivet position and one packet of rivets.

volumes).
Note: The plate example given shows the meaning
of the symbols and figures; the exact rating values
for the machine in your possession should be read
directly on the rating plate of the machine it self.
INSTALLATION
SITE
Locate the machine in an area where openings for cooling
air are not obstructed (forced circulation with fan); check that
conductive dusts, corrosive vapours, humidity etc., will not
enter machine.
