Duty cycle
The duty cycle refers to the time as a percentage of a ten--minute period that you can weld at a cer-
tain load without overloading.
Enclosure class
The IP code indicates the enclosure class, i. e. the degree of protection against penetration y solid
o jects or water. Equipment marked IP23 is designed for indoor and outdoor use.
Application class
The sym ol indicates that the power source is designed for use in areas with increased
electrical hazard.
5 IN TALLATION
The installation must be executed by a professional.
ote!
Connect the power source to the electricity mains with a network impedance of 0.268 (C250 3ph) ohm
or lower. If the network impedance is higher there is a risk of flicker in the illuminators.
WARNING!
This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio
interference. It is the user’s responsi ility to take adequate precautions.
5.1 Placing
Position the welding power source such way that its cooling air inlets and outlets are
not o structed.
5.2 Assembly of components
For packing and shipment of the machine the wheels are detached from the unit.
Before use attach the wheels according to instruction.

6 OPERATION
General safety regulations for the handling of the equipment can be found on
page 3. Read through before you start using the equipment!
WARNING!
Rotating parts can cause injury, take great care.
To prevent the reel sliding off the hu : Lock the reel in place y turning
the red kno as shown on the warning la el attached next to the hu .
WARNING!
WARNING -- TIPPING RI K!
There is a risk of tipping while transportation and operation, if the welding machine leans
more than 10o. In that case appropriate securing has to e provided !

6.2 Welding without gas
6.3 Wire feed pressure
Start y making sure that the wire moves smoothly through the wire guide. Then
set the pressure of the wire feeder’s pressure rollers. It is important that the
pressure is not too great.
Fig 1 Fig 2
To check that the feed pressure is set correctly, you can feed out the wire against
an insolated o ject, e.g. a piece of wood.
When you hold the gun approx. 5 mm from the piece of wood (fig. 1) the feed
rollers should slip.
If you hold the gun approx. 50 mm from the piece of wood, the wire should e
fed out and end (fig. 2).
6.4 Replacing and inserting wire
SOpen the side panel.
SDisconnect the pressure sensor y folding it ackwards, the pressure rollers
slide up.
GB

-- 10 --
C17253e
SStraighten out the new wire 10--20 cm. File away urrs and sharp edges from the
end of the wire efore inserting it into the wire feed unit.
SMake sure that the wire goes properly into the feed roller track and into the outlet
nozzle and the wire guide.
SSecure the pressure sensor.
SClose the side panel.
6.5 Overheating protection
When the machine is switched on with the mains switch [1], indicating lamp [2] is on and
lamp [3] off -- the machine is ready to operate. If the internal temperature ecomes too
high, the welding is interrupted and disa led. This state is indicated y lighting of the
orange indicating lamp [3] on the front of the machine. It resets automatically when the
temperature has fallen.
7 MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance is important for safe reliable operation.
ote!
All guarantee undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer himself
attempts any work in the product during the guarantee period in order to rectify any
faults.
7.1 Inspection and cleaning
Check regularly that the power source is free from dirt.
The power source should e regularly lown clean using dry compressed air at reduced
pressure. More frequently in dirty environments. Otherwise the air inlet/outlet may e-
come locked and cause overheating.
Welding gun
SCleaning and replacement of the welding gun’s wear parts should take place at
regular intervals in order to achieve trou le--free wire feed. Blow the wire guide
clean regularly and clean the contact tip.
The brake hub
The hu is adjusted when delivered, if
readjustment is required, follow the instructions
elow. Adjust the rake hu so that wire is slightly
slack when wire feed stops.
SAdjusting the braking torque:
STurn the red handle to the locked position.
SInsert a screwdriver into the springs in the hu .
Turn the springs clockwise to reduce the raking torque
Turn the springs anticlockwise to increase the raking torque. NB: Turn oth
springs through the same amount.

8 FAULT TRACING
Try these recommended checks and inspections before sending for an authorised service technican.
Type of fault Actions
No arc SCheck that the mains power supply switch is turned on.
SCheck that the welding current supply and return ca les are
correctly connected.
SCheck that correct current value is set.
Welding current is interrupted
during welding
SCheck whether the thermal overload trip has operated
(indicated y the orange lamp on the front).
SCheck the main power supply fuses.
Thermal overload trips
operate frequently
SCheck to see whether the air inlets/outlets are clogged.
SMake sure that you are not exceeding the rated data for the
power source (i.e. that the unit is not eing overloaded).
Poor welding performance SCheck that the welding current supply and return ca les are
correctly connected.
SCheck that the correct current value is set.
SCheck that the correct welding wires are eing used.
SCheck the main power supply fuses.
SCheck the wire feed unit -- if proper rolls are applied and
properly set the pressure of the wire feeder’s pressure rollers
