Open the power source’s hatch.
- Position the reel on its holder.
- Take into consideration the reel stands’s drive lug (c). To t a 200 mm reel, tighten the
plastic reel holder (a) to the maximum.
- Adjust the brake wheel (b) to prevent the non-moving spool from tangling the wire when
the welding stops. Do not over tighten as this will cause the power source to overheat.
LOADING THE FILLER WIRE

To change the rollers, do the following:
- Loosen the knob (a) to the maximum and lower it.
- Unlock the rollers by removing the retaining screws (b)
- Fit the appropriate drive rollers for your application and retighten the retaining screws.
The rollers supplied are double groove rollers :
- steel Ø 0.6/0.8 (E1 + E2 + E3)
- steel Ø 0.8/1.0 (E3)
- aluminium Ø 0.8/1.0 (E2 + E3).
- Check the inscription on the roller to ensure that the rollers are suitable for the wire diameter and
the wire material (for Ø 1.0 wire, use the Ø 1.0 groove).
- Use V-grooved rollers for steel and other hard wires.
- Use U-grooved rollers for aluminium and other soft, alloyed wires.

To install the wire, follow the steps below:
- Loosen the knob to the maximum and lower it.
- Insert the wire, then close the motor reel and tighten the knob as shown.
- Operate the motor via the trigger of the torch.
Notes:
- Too narrow a sheath can lead to unreeling issues and can lead to the overheating of the motor.
- The torch connection must also be properly tightened to prevent it from overheating.
- Ensure that neither the wire, nor the reel, touches the device’s mechanism, otherwise there is a danger of short-circuiting the ma-
chine.
RISK OF INJURY FROM MOVING COMPONENTS
The reels have moving parts that can trap hands, hair, clothing or tools causing injuries!
- Do not touch rotating, moving or driving parts of the machine!
• Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain fully closed when in operation.
• Do not wear gloves when threading the ller wire or changing the ller-wire’s spool.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC STEEL/STAINLESS STEEL WELDING (MAG MODE)
This machine can weld steel and stainless steel wire from Ø 0.6 to 1.0 mm (I-A).
E1 / E2 : The unit is supplied with Ø 0.6/0.8 rollers for steel or stainless steel as standard.
E3 : The unit is supplied with Ø 0.6/0.8 and Ø 0.8/1.0 rollers for steel or stainless steel as standard.
The contact tip, the sheave groove and the welding torch sheath are designed for this use.
To do this using steel requires a specic welding gas (Ar+CO2). The amount of CO2 may vary depending on the type of gas used. For stainless
steel, use a 2% CO2 mixture. When welding with pure CO2, it is necessary to connect a gas pre-heater to the gas cylinder. For specic gas issues,
please contact your gas distributor. The gas ow rate for steel is between 8 and 15 litres per minute depending on the surroundings. To measure the
gas ow rate at the torch outlet, it is recommended to use the optional ow meter (ref. 053939).
