A wire feed case (optional) is required for
MIG welding.
The operations required may differ de-
pending on the version and the configura-
tion
of
the wire feed case!
Please observe the wire feed case operat-
ing manual!

Fig.
6: Attaching the ground clamp - Correct!
:>
Fasten the grounding clamp in the immediate vicinity
of
the welding area, so that the welding current can-
not seek its own return path across machine parts,
ball bearings or electric circuitry.
:>
Connect the ground clamp firmly to the welding
bench or the workpiece.

Attaching the ground clamp - Wrong!
a Do not place the ground clamp
on
the welding ma-
chine or the gas cylinder; otherwise the welding cur-
rent will be carried via the protective conductors and
it
will destroy these.

Connecting the power supply
The machine is suitable for operation on the mains sup-
ply or
on
a current generator.
:>
