Fitting the gas cylinder
Place the gas cylinder on the tray at the rear
of the welder. Retain the cylinder with the
chain provided.
Fit the gas regulator to the cylinder. DO NOT
apply grease or oil to these joints.
Fit the end of the gas inlet hose from the
back of the power source to the connector
supplied with the gas regulator, and secure
with the clamp also supplied.

Negative Wire
Negative Wire
Some ‘self-shielded’ flux cored consumable
wires are operated with the work piece
Positive and the consumable wire Negative.
Refer to the manufacturers data for the
particular consumable wire to be used.
To setup for this condition, connect the
‘WORK’ lead plug into the (+) output socket
on the Power Source, and the ‘WELDING’
lead from the wirefeeder into the (-) socket
on the Power Source, as in Figure 5.
Remote Wirefeeder
The remote wirefeeder is connected to the
Weldmatic 256 power source using 8m
composite cable interconnecting lead. Check
all connections are firmly made to ensure good
electrical contact, and to prevent gas leaks.
The Weldmatic 256 wirefeeder is supplied
fitted with WF027 bottom rollers which
are suitable for both 0.9mm and 1.2mm
diameter steel wire.
Fitting The Gun and Cable Assembly
The supplied BERNARD gun/cable assembly is
equipped with a ‘Euro’ wirefeeder connector
which incorporates all required connection
points for welding current, shielding gas and
gun switch control.
To attach the gun/cable assembly to
the wirefeeder mechanism, engage the
mating parts of the male and female
Euro connectors, then rotate the locking
ring clockwise to firmly secure the
connection.
Fitting the Consumable Wire
The quality of the consumable wire
greatly affects how reliably a gas
metal arc welder will operate. For best
results when welding mild steel, we
recommend quality WIA AUSTMIG ES6.
Dirty, rusty or kinked wire will not feed
smoothly through the gun cable and
will cause erratic welding. Deposits from
the wire will clog the gun cable liner
requiring it to be replaced prematurely.
Place the spool of welding wire onto the
spool holder. The location pin should mate
with a hole provided on the wire spool body.
Fit the spool retaining ‘R’ clip supplied.
