ADVICE AND THERMAL PROTECTION
- Respect the basic rules of welding.
- Leave the air holes of the device open to allow air circulation.
- Leave the device plugged after welding to allow its cooling.
- Thermal protection: The light (fig V-6) turns on and the cooling duration is a couple of minute according to the area
temperature.
SYMPTOMS
POSSIBLE REASONS
SOLUTIONS
The welding wire speed is not constant.
Cracklings blocking up the opening.
Clean out the contact batch or change it
and replace the anti-adherence product.
The wire skids in the rollers.
Control the roller pressure or replace it.
Wire diameter non-consistent with roller
Covering wire guide in the torch not
consistent with wire.
The unwinding motor doesn’t operate.
Reel or roller brake too tight.
Release the brake and rollers.
Electrical supply problem.
Check that the running button is on the
position on.
Bad wire unwinding.
Covering wire guide dirty or damaged.
Clean or replace
Reel brake too tight
Release the brake
No welding current
Bad connection to the mains supply.
Check the branch connection and ensure
it is fed by 3 phases.
Bad earth connection.
Control the earth cable (connection and
clamp condition).
Power contactor inoperative.
Control the torch trigger.
The WIRE rubs down after the rollers.
Covering WIRE guide crushed.
Check the covering and torch body.
Locking of the wire in the torch
Clean or replace.
No capillary tube.
Check the presence of capillary tube.
Wire speed too fast
Reduce the wire speed
The weld bead is porous.
The gas flow is not sufficient.
Adjusting range 15 to 20 L / min. Clean
the working metal.
Gas bottle empty.
Replace it.
Gas quality non-satisfying.
Replace it.
Air flow or wind influence.
Avert air blast, protect welding area.
Gas nozzle too full.
Clean or replace the gas nozzle.
Bad wire quality.
Use adapted WIRE for MIG-MAG welding.
Surface to weld in bad condition. (rust, etc…) Clean the working parts before welding.
Very significant flashing particules.
Arc voltage too low or too high.
See welding settings.
Bad earth connection.
Check and place the earth cable to have
a better connection.
Protecting gas insufficient.
Adjust the gas flow.
No gas at the torch output.
Bad gas connection.
See if the gas coupling beside the engine
is well connected.
