Wirefeeder W64-1 | Operator Manual | Model No W64-1
1 Power on Indicator
This indicator is illuminated when
wirefeeder is connected to a power source
and the power source is switched on.
2 Arc start
This control can be set to modify arc
starting conditions. For many applications
the control can be set at the mid point.
Rotating the knob towards ‘FAST’ will
provide faster wire acceleration at arc
start giving quicker starts, suitable for
applications such as rapid tack welding.
Rotating the knob towards ‘SOFT’ will
slow wire acceleration, providing a softer
start suitable for larger diameter and
aluminium wires.
3 Wire Speed Control
This control sets the speed of the wire
drive motor within the range of 0 - 172 RPM,
equivalent to 0 - 20 metres per minute of
welding electrode wire. Rotate the control
clockwise to increase the feed speed.
This control is used in conjunction with the
Wire Speed Range Select Switch. Switch to
low for slower (0-10 metres/min wirespeed
control and switch to high for higher (8-20
metres/min) wire speeds.
4 Wire Speed Range Indicator Light
This indicator is illuminated when speed
range is set to High speed range (8-20
metres/min).
5 Wire Speed Range Select Switch
Press to change from Low wire speed range
to High wire speed range.
6 Purge Button
Press to open the gas solenoid valve without
energising the welding power source.
