Inching The Wire Electrode - EWM miniDrive GS Operating Instructions Manual

5.5.3

Inching the wire electrode

Risk of injury due to moving parts!
The wire feeders are equipped with moving parts, which can trap hands, hair, clothing
or tools and thus injure persons!
•
Do not reach into rotating or moving parts or drive components!
•
Keep casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!
Risk of injury due to welding wire escaping in an unpredictable manner!
Welding wire can be conveyed at very high speeds and, if conveyed incorrectly, may
escape in an uncontrolled manner and injure persons!
•
Before mains connection, set up the complete wire guide system from the wire spool to the
welding torch!
•
Check wire guide at regular intervals!
•
Keep all casing covers or protective caps closed during operation!
Risk of injury due to welding wire escaping from the welding torch!
The welding wire can escape from the welding torch at high speed and cause bodily
injury including injuries to the face and eyes!
•
Never direct the welding torch towards your own body or towards other persons!
Incorrect contact pressure will cause extensive wear of the wire feed rollers!
•
With the adjusting nuts of the pressure units set the contact pressure so that the wire
electrode is conveyed but will still slip through if the wire spool jams.
•
Set the contact pressure of the front rollers (in wire feed direction) to a higher value!
