Application class
The symbol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased
electrical hazard.
4 INS ALLA ION
The installation must be executed by a professional.
WARNING!
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.
WARNING!
When welding in an environment with increased electrical danger, only power sources intended
for this environment may be used. These power sources are marked with the symbol .
a. Connect the wire feeder with the welding rectifier. Temporary keep the
current cable disconnected.
b. Connect the wire feeder to gas regulator by means of gas hose.
Attention: Use gas heater only for pure CO2.
c. Connect a welding torch. If it is liquid--cooled, connect its hoses to
appropriate connectors, turning aside an arm of the pump switch (ELP).
Hoses and appropriate connectors are marked in red and blue.
d. Install the bobbin with electrode wire.
e. Input the wire between the rolls and further to the torch connector, at least
for 20cm inside. Type of the rolls should match the side and the type of used
electrode wire. Take in account, that for convenience, marking on the side of
the rolls corresponds the size of the groove on the opposite side.
f. Close the rolls and adjust an optimal radial pressure by means of knobs.
Setting recommendation is placed on the inner side of the cover.
g. Set braking force of the wire bobbin by means the bolt placed inside the
bobbin holder.
Attention! Keep attention during replacement of the bobbin. Don’t use gloves
while installing the bobbin and inputting the wire into the torch.
h. Set mode selector (2) in position (inching). Press the torch switch and let
the wire go through the torch up to its appearance out of the torch.
i. Set mode selector (2) in position (gas purge). Press the torch switch and
adjust the gas flow.

j. Connect current cables. Set voltage in the welding rectifier. Switch the
rectifier on. The machine is ready for welding.
The wire feeder is factory -- equipped with insulating feet that allow to put the feeder
on top of power source or directly on the ground.
Feeder can optionally be equipped with accessory wheel set (see page 1 ).
5 OPERA ION
General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on
page 4. Read through before you start using the equipment
WARNING!
Assure that the side panels are closed during operation.
WARNING!
Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.
To prevent the reel sliding off the hub: Lock the reel in place by turning
the red knob as shown on the warning label attached next to the hub.
WARNING!
When moving the equipment use intended handle. NOTE Never pull on the gun.

5.2 Function explanation
5.2.1 2--stroke mode
Set the 2--stroke mode by means of the knob (3). Set required wire speed by means
of the knob (2). The creep speed option can be set by means of the knob (6). If
creep speed is chosen the wire speed before the actual start of welding is reduced
by two. The creep speed is not recommended for speed setting close to the minimal.
The burn--back time should set by means of the knob (4). This setting should be
chosen experimentally, starting from the lowest values.
Pressing the torch switch opens the gas valve and then switching the power source
on and feeding the wire. Releasing the torch switch stops the wire feeding. After
delay proportional to burn--back time setting the power is switched off. Eventually
the gas is cut off too.
5.2.2 4--stroke mode
Set the 4--stroke mode by means of the knob (3). Other settings as for 2--stroke
mode.
This mode could be described as follows:
1. switch pressed -- gas starts to flow,
2. switch released -- power source is switched and wire is fed, the actual start of
welding,
3. switched pressed again -- stop of welding, gas remains flowing,
4. switch released -- cut off the gas.
5.2.3 Burnback time
Burnback time is a delay between the time when the wire starts to brake until the
time when the power source switches off the welding voltage. Too short burnback
time results in a long wire stickout after completion of welding, with a risk of the wire
being caught in the weld pool. Too long a burnback time results in a shorter stickout,
with increased risk of the arc striking back to the contact tip.
5.2.4 Creep start
Creep start means that the wire is fed at reduced speed within 1 sec after welding
torch trigger is pressed, and then the speed increases to the set speed.
5.2.5 Inching and gas purge modes
Set the required mode by means of the knob (3). Inching or gas purge is started by
means of the torch switch.
5.2.6 Wire feed speed
This sets the required feed speed of the filler wire in m/minute.
5.2.7 Spot welding
Set the spot welding mode by means of the knob (3). Set the required time of the
spot welding by means of the knob (5). Other settings as for previously described
modes. The control sequence is similar to 2--stroke mode sequence. The difference
is that the welding is stopped automatically after particular time. The torch switch
must be pressed up to the end of welding. Releasing the torch switch enables the
next spot welding cycle.
