INSTALLATION – PRODUCT OPERATION
Only qualified personnel authorized by the manufacturer should perform the installation of the welding equipment. During set up,
the operator must ensure that the machine is unplugged.
Risk of injury due to moving parts!
The wire feeders contain moving parts that may catch hand, hair, clothes or tools which can lead to injuries! Take extra care.
• Do not place your hand on mobile/pivoting/wire feeding parts of the machine!
• Make sure that all panels remain closed when in use !
DESCRIPTION
The W5S-4L is a wire feeder suitable for a water or air cooled torch and designed for use with MIG 400 GR, 500 GR et 500 WS. The wire feeder
works with 200mm reels.

ASSEMBLY & CONNECTION (I & II)
Gas Coupling
Fit the gas pipe to the connector (6) of the wire feeder (collar included)
Contact Cable Connection
Connect the wire feeder to the generator, making sure that the power connectors (8) & (11), the command connectors (7) & (12), and the water
connectors (13) & (9) are securely tightened.
WIRE REEL INSTALLATION (III)
• Open the door of the machine.
• Position the reel on to the support (1) taking care of the pin.
• Adjust the break (2), to avoid reel movement tangling the wire when the welding stops.
• Tighten the plastic screw firmly (3).
• For the first use :
- Release the fixing screw of the wire guide (4)
- Put the rollers in place (5). The visible diameter on the roller should be equal to the wire diameter used.
- Place the wire guide (6) as close as possible to the roller but without touching it, then tighten the fixing screw.
• To select the adjustment of the drive rollers: loosen the drive roller knob as far as possible (7), insert the wire until it exits the other side by about
2cm. Start the motor by pressing the torch trigger, tighten the knob whilst pressing the trigger. Bend the wire where it comes out of the nozzle and
hold it in place to stop its progress - the setting is correct when the guide roller slides over the wire, even when it is blocked at the end of the torch.
USE
W5S-4L allows the user welding using the parameters set on the MIG generator. To adjust the settings to the type and diameter of wire used,
please refer to the 400 GR, 500 GR and 500 WS user manual.
It is possible to change the wire speed, in synergic or manual mode using the potentiometer on the front panel
TROUBLESHOOTING
Symptoms
Reasons
Solutions
