4.2 Wire Feed Set-up

5 Welding Stainless Steel and Aluminium

This MIG welding machine is factory set for welding low-carbon steel. Use a mixed gas (e.g. Ar 99.988 %).

4.3 Feeding the Wire into the Torch

Place the wire through the spiral guide tube across the feed roller into the central coupling's wire intake. Bring

tension roller in position and set tension.

Unscrew the gas shroud from the swan neck by turning clockwise, contact tip by turning counter-clockwise. Switch

the machine on, set wire feed speed to lowest speed and press the torch's trigger switch until the wire protrudes

approx. 2.5 cm/1 in. from the swan neck. Replace contact tip and gas shroud.

Please note that all machines as standard fitted for 0.6; 0.8 and 1.0 mm electrode wire. If a wire of a different

diameter is to be used, the contact tip must be exchanged against on of matching size and the feed roller installed

with the corresponding groove size opposite the wire intake.

The feed roller is fitted with four pilot grooves for

wire diameters 0.6/0.8/1.0/1.2 mm.

To adapt the feed roller to the wire size used,

first release the tension roller from the feed roller

by pushing the lever back.

For 1.0 or 1.2 mm wire the corresponding outer

groove is required. Place spacer washer onto

drive shaft, then feed roller so that the required

groove size is in line with the wire intake of the

central goupling. For 0.6 or 0.8 mm wire the

inner grooves are required. Place feed roller

first onto shaft, followed by the spacer washer.

After spacer and feed roller have been mounted

as required secure in place with the washer,

serated lock washer and screw. If required, the

two nuts on the central coupling's wire intake

can be loosened and its position centered to the

groove.

Return the tension roller onto the feed roller an

set to required tension by means of the setting

screw.

Setting of Wire Feed Speed

Fine tuning of setting during welding is actually carried out.The feed speed is correct when the arc burns with a steady hum.
