3. OPERATION OF THE WIRE FEEDER
After successfully going through the preceding steps of preparing for the operation,
the wire feeder shows that it is fully functional. The wire feeder is then ready for
operation.
WARNING!!!
Be sure to connect the opposite pole of the power source to the
welded piece with the "ground" terminal.
Weld according to general recommendations for welding with semi-automatic
machines.
If you are a beginner and have no experience in setting the optimum wire feed rate
for a particular product, start with the average wire feed rate (~6.0... 8,0 m/min) and
the average voltage on the source (~19V) at any diameter of the installed wire
(Ø0,6...1,2mm). It may not be optimal, but if the source works properly and the wire
is evenly fed (without jerks, checked ONLY AT NO LOAD "on weight"), as well as
properly connected, this combination " feeder" should be welding.
By default, the safety gas pre-purge is set to 0.5 sec, post-purge to 1.5 sec.
