Operation manual IM 240-i EG-Konformitätserklärung Hersteller / Bevollmächtigter: MAHE Gerätebau GmbH Auwiese 12 D-57223 Kreuztal-Kredenbach Bevollmächtigte Person, Ing. Jaroslav Kučera für die Zusammenstellung der technischen Štefánikova 1 Unterlagen: 059 21 Svit SLOVAKIA Produkt: IM 240-i Hiermit erklären wir, dass die oben beschriebene Maschine allen einschlägigen Bestimmungen der Maschinenrichtlinie 2006/42/EG entspricht.
Operation manual before you start. 1.1 Product introduction IM 240-i welding machine is compact MIG-MAG welding inverter especially developed for car body repair. Its excellent brazing characteristic as well as good steel welding possibilities enables to use this device to repair all kinds of vehicles with fine quality results.
Operation manual IM 240-i 2 PUTTING INTO OPERATION 2.1 Connecting to the electric network Check if the voltage stated on the device label complies with rated voltage of alternate volta- ge of your electric network. The device can be connected to electric socket equipped with protective contact installed by authorized electrician (TN system according IEC 60364).
IM 240-i Operation manual 2.4 MIG/MAG torch For torch connecting is used EURO Standard torch connector. Please, tighten the connector well to eliminate the conduction losses. A loose connection can cause damage of the machine and torch. Never use damaged torch! Make sure the contact tip match the manufacturer’s recommendations for type and diameter...
Operation manual IM 240-i 2.6 Weld area preparation A work piece must be clean in the welding area, free of paint, metallic coat, dirt, rust, fat and moisture. The preparation of weld must be according to technical instructions for welding.
IM 240-i Operation manual - Be conscious of possibility of hidden fire on covered objects or in another rooms due tu heat transfer. After finishing of welding check up the welding place for smoking parts or small fires in the time interval up to 6 or 8 hours.
Operation manual IM 240-i 4 Operation 4.1 Turning the device ON Always use the main switch to turn On and Off the device, never use the power plug for this purpose! 4.1.1 Power-on sequence After powered special power on sequence is started on the operating panel, to give the user information about the firmware.
4.3 Set up, adjustment and display description 4.3.1 Synergic mode 4.3.1.1 Welding power set up IM 240-i machines can be controlled with full synergic feature. The welding power is to adjust just with one main rotary encoder. By setup of material thickness (in millimeters) are automatically set all welding parameters .
Operation manual IM 240-i 4.3.2 Manual mode 4.3.2.1 Wire speed setup Set up wire feed speed in m/min by turning the encoder. 4.3.2.2 Welding voltage setup VOLT Set up the welding voltage in Volts by turning the encoder. 4.3.2.3 Arc length correction There is possible to adjust length of the welding arc.
IM 240-i Operation manual 5 CARE AND MAINTENANCE Pull out the power cable from the socket before every maintenance and troubleshooting. The device is almost maintenancefree. It is necessary to check feeding wheel, pressure roller and inflow nozzle regularly, if there is not some dirt.
IM 240-i Operation manual 7 TROUBLESHOOTING Mechanical defects are mostly the result of irregular wire feeding or its blocking. Electrical defects cause partial or full device failure. Only an authorized electrician can repair the electrical part of welding device. The trobleshooting should be executed in the OFF mode first and in the following sequence: - Check up the solidity of electrical connections on switches, current transformer, suppressor and also the solidity of plugged and soldered connections.

ä ä ä MIG-Brazing is a kind of soldering technique using: a welding arc together with a special area protection gas. push position protection gas gas nozzle Argon 4.5 preheat and Current nozzle + MIG Brazing wire evaporations of the zinc in front What kind of material you can braze? All kind of steel plates, either coated or uncoated, such as zinc ~, phosphate ~ or aluminium coat.

ä ä ä The differences between MIG-Brazing and steel welding Using the MIG-Brazing the base material never gets into liquid conditions different to welding with steel wire and Mixgas or CO gas. Mixgas = Argon/CO 80/20, 82/18, 85/15 % = soft, no sparks, little root, especially for thin sheet metal gas = 100% = very hot, sparks, deep root, preferred for thick steel liquid braze liquid welding wire...
