5. METAL INERT GAS / METAL ACTIVE GAS ARC WELDING (MIG/MAG)
ATTENTION: In the simplest case for welding ferrous metals, carbon dioxide "CO2" is used
as a shielding gas, and for welding aluminum only inert gases such as argon "Ar", sometimes
helium "He" are suitable. For stainless and high-alloy steels, mixtures in various proportions
of "80% Ar+20% CO2" are often used. The use of other gases is allowed only by agreement
with the equipment manufacturer.
ATTENTION: The device has a standard KZ-2 type EURO connector for MIG/MAG welding
torches, you can purchase any torch of your preference at a later time.
THE PROCEDURE FOR PREPARING FOR WELDING WITH SOLID WIRE:
- Install the source on the wire feeder base; for better rigidity, bind the source and
base with a strap (through the slotted holes on the sides of the source). The strap is
included in the kit;
- connect the control cable from the wire feeder to connector 18 on the back of the
source;
- insert the earthing cable into the B "-" socket of the source;
- connect the earthing cable to the workpiece;
- connect the plug of the wire feeder pole cable to the A "+" socket of source;
- connect and screw the MIG/MAG welding torch to socket 11 on the wire feeder;
- i nstall a pressure regulator on a bottle of shielding gas "СО2", "Ar" or "Ar+CO2";
- connect the gas hose to the pressure regulator on the gas bottle and connector 21
on the back of the wire feeder;
- open the gas cylinder valve, check for air-tightness;
- connect the power supply mains cable to the power supply;
- set the device's main power switch 12 on the rear panel to the "ON" position;
- use button 4 to set the MIG/MAG welding mode (modes are switched over and
over);
- use button 2 to set the required welding voltage;
- place a spool of wire of the required diameter on the wire feeder;
