DC MIG/MAG
no experience in setting the optimum pressure for welding a specific product, then
at first the gas pressure can be set higher than the optimum value of ~0.2 MPa. This
will have little effect on the process, only the consumption of safety gas will increase.
To save money hereafter, follow the general recommendations for welding with
semi-automatic welding machines.
Press button
4
on the front of the feeder to check the safety gas supply.
2.8 INSTALLATION OF THE WIRE COIL
A quality mechanism 15 with an internal brake to prevent spontaneous rotation of
the coil is used to secure it. A screw with the plastic "nut" is used to increase or
decrease the braking degree.
WARNING!!!
Do not clamp the coil too tight. The clamping degree should be the
least necessary to keep the coil from turning spontaneously. If it is clamped more
than necessary, it will create an unnecessary force on the motor and eventually lead
to uneven feeding of the wire.
Having opened the lifting cover
9
for wire filling, lift the clamping beams upwards.
Plastic cams are used to unlock them.
The end of the wire is run through hole
10
in the rear wall of the unit. You must pass
through the whole metal wire feeder starting from the rear flexible spiral, between
the rollers, to the exit from the KZ-2 EURO type connector. Fix by clamping beams.
The clamping force is adjusted with a cam.
WARNING!!!
Do not clamp the beam too tight, as in the coil braking mechanism.
Here the clamping degree should be the least necessary to push the wire when the
wire is not tightly clamped by hand.
2.9 INSTALLATION OF THE WELDING TORCH
The torch is screwed into connector
7
on the front of the feeder. Screw in as far as
possible!!!
The quality of the contact must be assured, as all the operating welding current flows
through this connector.
2.10 WIRE FILLING
After locking the wire with the beam, press button 1 on the front panel and wait for
the wire to come out of the nozzle of the torch. The wire feed speed will increase
smoothly to the maximum for convenience. This can be seen by the display on the
front panel.
