Personal safety
•
Always wear welding gloves when operating this device in order to protect your hands from
the direct heat of the arc as well as the UV radiation emitted by it.
•
When working with higher settings, make sure to wear a special leather apron for additional
protection from possible spatter.
•
When performing overhead welding, a closed welding helmet with adequate neck protection
must be worn.
•
It is generally advised to wear an overall as well as safety shoes with steel toe caps when
welding.
Getting started
Ensure that your MIG welder is earthed and connected to a suitable switch disconnector. The wiring
should thereby be as follows:
brown = phase conductor
blue = neutral conductor
green/yellow = earthing
New wire reel installation
1. Remove the chassis of the welder and carefully unfasten both, the power nozzle and as well
as the burner nozzle.
2. Attach the wire reel and ensure that the spring is placed properly before fastening everything.
3. Check the feed roller and ensure that the size depicted on its top corresponds to the size of
the wire you intend to use. If the numbers do not match it might be necessary to reverse the
feed roller. In order to do so you have to loosen its support by removing the fastening screws
and the bracket. The feed roller can now be removed and reversed.
4. Search for the loose end of the wire, which should be placed in a hole on the rim of the reel,
and remove deformed parts with the help of a wire cutter in order to ensure that the wire will
not jam in the process of welding. Make thereby sure that the wire does not come undone
from the reel.
5. Hinge the pressure control away and insert the wire into the opening. Thereby ensure that the
wire is inserted in a straight line and that the feed mechanism is capable of pulling it in.
6. Return the pressure control to its original position and make sure that the wire size fits
effortlessly into the notch.
7. Turn on the main switch of the device and press the trigger of the burner in order to cause the
feed mechanism to pull the wire through the hose and burner.
8. As soon as there is a wire excess of 1–2 cm sticking out of the burner, let go of the trigger and
turn off the device.
9. Check that the size of the power nozzle corresponds to the wire size and carefully reattach
both, the power nozzle and the burner nozzle.
10. Reattach the chassis and fasten it.
Attention:
Always make sure to completely unfold the hose connecting the burner and the main body
of the welder when feeding wire as the moving wire might otherwise damage the hose by puncturing it
from the inside.
Mounting the gas cylinder
1. At first, make sure that the valves of the bottle (if available) as well as the valve of the regu-
lator are completely closed (turned clockwise) in order to avoid a loss of gas due to accidental
leaking.
2. Attach the high-pressure hose to the rear of the welder before connecting the other end to the
pressure regulator. In order to remove the hose, simply press it as well as the locking ring
