GYS MAGYS 450 WS Quick Start Manual

Gouging with MAGYS 450 WS
The MAGYS 450 WS is a MIG-MAG water cooled semi-automatic welding generator designed for industry purposes. This machine
offers in addition to its conventional use, the gouging function.
Gouging is an operation applied to steels and carbon. It enables to dig a trench to remove a weld or repair external or internal weld
default. The gouging feature offered by the MAGYS 450 WS is performed by a thermal process Arc-Air®. This process eliminates the
metal locally, along a groove, creating a welding pool with the electric arc. This molten metal is then ejected with a compressed air
jet.

Torch connection

The special gouging torch has an electrical power connection and a connection for a compressed air supply. A 5m connection cable
(ref. 040670) connects the torch to the MAGYS 450 WS and to the compressed air supply.
1 - Screw the air connector to the brass fitting of the torch. This connector will be connected to the compressed air supply (image 1)
2 - Then screw the 5m connection cable lug on the torch brass connector using the nut and screw provided. (image 1)
3 - Connect the 5m connection cable to the back of the MAGYS 450 WS. (image 2)
