5. Mounting FastMig wire feed units to boom and swing arms
When mounting wire feed units to boom and swing arms, the unit must be electrically
isolated from both.
Suspension angle of wire feed unit can be changed by moving the xing point in handle.
2.4 Accessories corresponding to wire diameter
Colour coded wire feed rolls and guide tubes are available to suit a variety of ller wire types
and sizes. Feed roll groove geometry and design vary depending on the application. Further
details are available in the spare parts tables.
Please ensure you select the correct drive rolls and guide tubes from the table to suit your
particular welding application.
2.5 Welding gun selection
Please ensure that the welding gun selected is suitable for the target application. Kemppi
welding gun products are designed to meet many dierent applications. Special wire liners
and contact tips are available for dierent wire types and sizes.
For FastMig X 450 and MXP 37 Pipe setup Kemppi oers the PMT MN welding gun model,
which is specially designed for welding root and ll passes on pipe. The neck is replaceable, so
you can select just the right bending angle for dierent work stages.
Distance wire feeding is accommodated with WeldSnake and SuperSnake products in either
air or water cooled models.
2.6 Mounting and locking of wire spool
NOTE! Check that in ller wire spool is correctly mounted and locked into position. Ensure the spool
is not damaged or deformed in such a way that it can rub or cha against the internal surface of
the wire feed unit chassis or door. This may result in increased drag, impacting on weld quality. This
may also result in long term wire feed unit damage, rendering the unit unserviceable or unsafe to
use.

EN
2.7 Loading the ller wire and automatic feed
Automatic wire feed makes wire spool changes faster. When changing the wire spool, the
pressure of feed rolls need not be released.
Simply ensure that the groove of the feed roll matches the diameter of ller wire used. Release
the wire end from the spool and cut o any deformed section. Be careful that the wire does
not spill from the spool sides.
Straighten about 20 cm of ller wire and ensure the tip has no sharp edges. File if necessary, as
a sharp wire edge may damage the wire gun liner - particularly softer plastic liners.
Present the ller wire tip to the back of the wire feed rolls and press the wire inch switch on
the wire feeder panel. Feed the wire to the gun contact tip and prepare to weld.
NOTE! Smaller diameter ller wires may need to be loaded manually and with the feed roll pressure
arms released. This is because it is easy to over estimate the pressure required to feed these smaller
ller wires. Too high feed roll pressures can easily deform ller wires and contribute to later feeding
problems.

2.9 Adjustment of pressure arms
Adjust the drive pressure to the ller wire with the thumb screws mounted over the pressure
arms. Notice the graduated scales indicating load. The load applied should be sucient to
overcome a light braking force applied by hand to the ller wire, as it exits the welding gun
contact tip.
For smaller diameter and soft ller wires, less feed pressure is required. It should be possible to
apply a light breaking force to the ller wire by hand, as it exits the gun contact tip. But slightly
more wire ow restriction should render the drives rolls to slip slightly over the ller wire
without deforming the wire.
NOTE! Excessive pressure causes attening of the ller wire and damage to coated or cored ller
wires. It also causes undue wear of the feed rolls and increases gearbox load, so reducing service
life.
2.10 Adjustment of spool brake
Brake force is adjusted through the hole behind the locking clip. Remove the locking clip by
hand, and adjust the tension and pressure to the friction pads mounted inside with a screw
driver. See diagram and location A.
A
The load applied varies depending on the size and weight of the ller wire and spool, but also
the ller wire feed speed set. The heavier the wire spool and the faster the feed speed, the
greater the need to increase the braking load. Adjust the pressure, secure the locking clip, set
the wire feed speed and check that the braking force is enough to ensure the ller wire does
not spill from the spool on overrun.
NOTE! Too much or unnecessary loads can impact welding quality, load and wear to the wire feed
system.
2.11 Burn back time
FastMig electronics controls the burn back time. When welding stops an automatic sequence
ensures that the ller wire does not stick to the work piece and that no ball is formed at the
wire tip, ensuring reliable re-ignition. This system works regardless of the wire feed speed.
2.12 Earth return cable
Preferably the earth return cable and clamp should be connected directly to the welding
material.
Always use a good quality, 70 mm² heavy copper cable, and if possible a screw type 600 A
clamp. Ensure that the surface contact to the work piece is clean of metal oxide and or paint.
Make sure the clamp is rmly secured.

2.13 Shielding gas
NOTE! Handle shielding gas bottle with care. Assess the risks associated with handling and using
compressed gas. Always use a cylinder transport carriage and secure the cylinder safely.
There are many dierent suppliers of quality shielding gases for welding. Please ensure that
you are selecting the correct gas for your application. FastMig products use welding programs
for synergic and pulsed welding. These programs are created and recommend against a
particular shielding gas.
Shielding gas eects welding performance and is a fundamental component to overall weld
quality.

NOTE! Shielding gas ow rate from the welding gun is set according to the application, weld joint,
gas type and gas nozzle shape and size. The ow rate should be measured at the welding gun
nozzle before welding via a rotameter, and normally measure's between 10 – 20 litres per minute
for many welding applications.
2.13.1Installing gas bottle
Always fasten the gas bottle properly in the vertical position, in a special holder against the
wall or on a cylinder carriage. Remember to close gas bottle valve after welding.

When you turn the main switch of the FastMig power source into I-position, the pilot lamp
closest to this switch will illuminate, indicating the power source is ready for welding. The
equipment will return to the same operation state where it was before the last shutdown.
Always start and switch o the machine with the main switch, never use the mains plug as a
switch.
2.15 Operation of cooling unit, FastCool 10
When water cooling unit FastCool 10 is connected to the FastMig power source for the
rst time, the cooler function is normally active. To deselect the cooler function, follow the
instructions stated in the FastCool 10 operating manual.
2.16 Hanging kit
The MXP 37 Pipe wire feed units can be mounted on a welding boom using the KFH 1000
hanging device available as an accessory. This allows the wire feed unit to be suspended
above the work area.
