Cable connections
Mains connection
•
The device is equipped with a 3.3
m supply cable and plug. Connect the supply cable to the
mains.
•
Note:
The fuse required is 16
A.
•
When using an extension cord, the cross-sectional area of this should to at least be as large as
the one of the supply cable (3×2,5
mm²). The maximum length of the extension cord is 50
m.
•
The welder can also be operated via a current generator. The minimum power of the generator
is 3.5
kVA, the recommended one is 6.0
kVA, so that the device can be used at full capacity.
Earthing
The earth cable is already connected to the machine. Clean the surface of the workpiece and attach the
earthing clamp to the piece to establish a closed and failure-free circuit required for welding.
Welding gun
•
The welding gun is already connected to the machine. The welding gun leads the shielding gas,
welding wire, and electric current to the weldseam. When pressing the trigger of the welding
gun, the shielding gas begins to flow and the wire to be fed. The arc ignites when the welding
wire touches the workpiece.
•
The neck of the welding gun can be rotated by 360°. When rotating the neck, make sure that
the neck is rotated almost to the stop. Thus, you will prevent damages and overhitting of the
neck.
Note:
When using a welding wire with a diameter other than 0.8
mm, adapt the contact tip of the welding
gun according to the thickness of the wire.
Shielding gas
•
The shielding gas required for steel wires is carbon dioxide or a mixture of argon and carbon
dioxide that replaces the air near the arc. The thickness of the welding sheet and the welding
power define the gas flow.
•
The device comes with a 4.5
m shielding gas hose. Connect the bayonet coupling of the shield-
ing gas hose to the hose connection of the device and the nozzle to the regulation valve of the
gas bottle.
