Welding SMAW Process
Wire feeder LF 52D, LF 56D does not include the
electrode holder with lead necessary for SMAW welding,
but the one can be purchased separately (see
"Accessories" chapter).
Procedure of begin welding of SMAW process:

First turn the machine off.

Connect by dedicated interconnection cable (see
„Accessories chapter") wire feeder with a dedicated
welding power source that using the CAN protocol for
communication.

Determine the require polarity for the electrode that
has to be used. Consult the electrode technical data
for this information.

Depending on the chosen electrode polarity, connect
the work lead and the electrode holder with lead to
proper output sockets according to Table 19.


Connect the work lead to the welding piece with the
work clamp.

Install the proper electrode in the electrode holder.

Turn the machine on.

Set the SMAW welding program.

Set the welding parameters.

The welding machine is now ready to weld

By applying the principle of occupational health and
safety at welding, welding can be begun.
For SMAW process user can set:

Welding Current

Switch on / switch off the output voltage on the output
lead.

Wave Control:

Arc Force

Hot Start

Loading the Wire Spool
Wire spool type S300 and BS300 can be installed on the
wire spool support without adapter.
Wire spool type S200, B300 or Readi-Reel
installed with use applicable adapter that must be
purchased separately (see "Accessories" chapter).
Wire Spool Type S300 & BS300 Loading
Turn the input power OFF at the welding power source
before installation or changing a wire spool.

Turn the input power OFF.

Open the spool wire case.

Unscrew the Locking Nut [16] and remove it from the
Spindle.

Place the spool type S300 or BS300 [17] on the
Spindle [16] making certain the Spindle Brake Pin is
put in the hole in back side of spool type S300 or
SB300.
Position the spool type S300 or SB300 so that it will rotate
in the same direction as wire feed and electrode wire
should feed from the bottom side of the spool.

Install the locking nut [16]. Make sure that the locking
nut is tightened.
Wire Spool Type S200 Loading
Turn the input power OFF at the welding power source
before installation or changing a wire spool.

Turn the input power OFF.

Open the spool wire case.

Unscrew the Locking Nut [16] and remove it from the
Spindle.

Place the adapter of spool type S200 on the spindle
[16] making certain the spindle brake pin is put in the
hole in back side of the adapter. The adapter of spool
type S200 can be purchased separately (see
"Accessories" chapter).

Place the spool type S200 [17] on the spindle [16]
making certain that the adapter brake pin is put in the
hole in the back side of the spool.
Position the spool type S200 so that it will rotate in the
same direction as wire feed and electrode wire should
feed from the bottom side of the spool.

Install the locking nut [16]. Make sure that the locking
nut is tightened.
