The machine can also be used with a generator. The minimum power for the
generator is 4.2 kVA, and the recommended power 8.0 kVA in order for the
machine to be used at maximum capacity.
Earthing
The earthing cable is already connected to the machine. Clean the workpiece
surface and x the earthing cable clamp to the piece in order to create a
closed and interference-free circuit needed for welding.
Welding gun
The welding gun is already connected to the machine. The welding gun
leads the ller wire, shielding gas and electric current to the weld. When you
press the welding gun trigger, shielding gas ow and wire feed begin. The arc
ignites, when the ller wire touches the welded piece.
The factory-installed wire guide in the welding gun is best suited for steel
wire welding. However, it can temporarily be used for stainless steel wire
and aluminium wire welding. Then, however, friction is greater and thus the
wire feed may tangle. If you mainly use stainless steel or aluminium wire, we
recommend you change the wire guide to a plastic wire guide.
The gun neck can be rotated 360°. When turning the neck, always make
sure that the neck is twisted almost all the way to the bottom. This prevents
damaging and overheating the neck.
NOTE! If you use other than 0.8 mm diameter ller wire, change the welding gun
contact tip to match the wire thickness.
