supply.  Table 1 (TAB.1) shows the recommended delayed fuse 
size in amps, chosen according to the max nominal current 
supplied by the welding machine, and the nominal voltage of the 
main power supply.       

 

Reassemble the panel carefully using the appropriate screws.  

 

WARNING! 

Failure to observe the above rules will make the (Class 1) safety system installed by the manufacturer 

ineffective with consequent serious risks to persons (e.g. electric shock) and objects (e.g. fire).

WELDING

 

CABLES:                                    

Table 1 (TAB. 1) gives the recommended values for the 
welding cables depending on the maximum current supplied 
by the welding machine.                                                                                          

WARNING! BEFORE MAKING CONNECTIONS MAKE SURE THE WELDING MACHINE IS SWITCHED OFF AND 

DISCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SUPPLY OUTLET. 

A gas bottle can be loaded on the welding machine 
bottle support platform: max 20kg.      

CONNECTION TO THE GAS BOTTLE:

                      

 

Screw the pressure reducing valve on to the gas bottle 
valve, inserting the appropriate adapter for argon or an 
argon/C02 mixture.   

Connect the gas inlet pipe to the pressure-reducing 
valve and tighten the band supplied. 

Loosen the pressure adjustment knob nut on the 
pressure-reducing valve before opening the bottle 
valve.  

                                        

 

CONNECTING THE WELDING CURRENT  
RETURN CABLE:                               

This is connected to the piece being welded or to the 
metal bench supporting it, as close as possible to the 
join being made. This cable is connected to the terminal 
with the symbol (-).                                             

CONNECTING THE TORCH (ONLY FOR 
VERSIONS WITH EURO CONNECTOR): 

Engage the torch with its dedicated connector by 
tightening the locking ring manually as far down as it 
will go.  Prepare the wire for loading by dismantling the 
nozzles and the welding tip to ease its exit.  

 

CHANGING THE POLARITY (ONLY FOR GAS-NO GAS VERSIONS)  

 

 

 

Step 1: Open the reel compartment door.   

Step 2a: MIG/MAG Welding (gas) 

Or Step 2b: Flux Welding (no gas) 

Connect the torch cable from the wire to 

 the terminal (+) 

Connect the clamp return to the terminal (-) 

Connect the torch cable from the wire feeder to  

the terminal (-)
