• Insert the central plug for the welding torch into the central connector and screw together with crown
nut.
• Insert the welding torch control cable into the 19-pole connection socket and lock (MIG/MAG torches
with additional control cables only).
Where applicable:
• Lock connecting nipples of the cooling water tubes into the corresponding quick connect couplings:
Return line red to quick connect coupling, red (coolant return) and
supply line blue to quick connect coupling, blue (coolant supply).
5.4 Assemble the wire guide
The Euro torch connector is factory-fitted with a guide tube for welding torches with steel liner. Conver-
sion is necessary if a welding torch with a steel liner is used!
• Operate welding torches with a liner > with a guide tube!
• Operate welding torches with a steel liner > with a capillary tube!
Depending on the wire electrode diameter or type, either a steel liner or liner with the correct inner
diameter must be inserted in the torch!
Recommendation:
• Use a steel liner when welding hard, unalloyed wire electrodes (steel).
• Use a chrome nickel liner when welding hard, high-alloy wire electrodes (CrNi).
• Use a plastic or teflon liner when welding or brazing soft wire electrodes, high-alloy wire electrodes or
aluminium materials.
Preparation for connecting welding torches with a spiral guide:
• Check that the capillary tube is correctly positioned in relation to the central connector!
