GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS
The welding torch PUSH-PULL is designed to facilitate
welding of aluminium wires.
Torches are provided with an internal thermoplastic
sheath, which is extremely smooth and therefore spe-
cially suitable for feeding aluminium wires.
The aluminium wire diameters that can be used are:
0.8 mm, 0.9 mm, 1.0 mm and 1.2 mm - .030”, .035”, .040”
and .045”.
The duty cycle is 160 A at 40%.
The maximum welding current is 200 A at 20% of duty
cycle.
Minimum and maximum speed are (1.4 - 20 mpm) – (55
- 790 IPM).
The total weight including the cable is 3.15 Kg – 6.9 lbs.
The length of the welding torch is 4.3 m – 14 feet.

ASSEMBLING THE UNIT
SETUP
Remove the metal tube
A
located inside the central adapter
of the power source.
Insert the brass tube
A1
provided onto the black liner exiting
from the PUSH-PULL welding torch.
Connect the torch to the central adapter
C1
of the power
supply; also connect the torch
C
connector to the connector
AC
located on the front panel.
PREPARING THE WIRE FEED UNIT OF THE WELDING
MACHINE (RIGTHT HAND SIDE ONLY).
Mount the wire coil
D
onto the support
E
and make sure
that the hole coincides with the pin
F
placed on the support
E
. Lock the reel on the support
E
, using the ring nut.
Use the wire feed roller
G
best suited to the type of
aluminium to be welded and the wire diameter.
The wire diameter is engraved on the side of the roller.
If the roller needs replacement:
Release the wire pressure bearing arm
H
.
Remove the protection device
L
by unscrewing the screw
I
.
Remove the wire feed roller
G
, take the suitable roller
and insert it so that the groove is oriented inwards, t the
protection device
L
back and fasten with the screw
I
.
Insert the wire into the inlet tube
K
and, passing through
the roller groove, insert it a few centimetres/inches inside the
black liner
A1
Latch the wire pressure arm
H
paying attention that the wire
remains inside the roller groove
G
.
In case thin wires (diameter 0.8 mm - .030”) or wires
having diameter 0.9 mm - .035” are used it is very
important to set the tension
M
at minimum pressure.
Close the coil compartment side and turn on the welding
machine.
Select the welding program suitable for wire to be used.

PREPARING THE WIRE FEED UNIT OF THE PUSH-
PULL TORCH.
Use the wire feed roller
R
best suited to the aluminium
to be welded and the wire diameter.
The wire diameter is engraved on the side of the roller
R
. If the roller needs replacement:
Unscrew knob
N
and draw it outwards.
Unscrew the guard
O
, so that the feeder unit is visible.
Unscrew the nut
P
rotating it CLOCKWISE.
