This operating manual contains important information on the use, maintenance and safety of your Newarc product. Please read the manual carefully before using the equipment for the first time. For your own safety and that of your working environment, pay particular attention to the safety instructions in the manual.
The simple front panel layout allows for ease of set up on CC or CV mode, and all functions are directly accessible by the multi function control knob and water proof push buttons. The WFU12A-ILS wire feed unit is designed to work with any welding power source working in constant current or constant voltage mode.
If the optional current transducer LEM circuit is fitted • Wire Speed the displays also displays the c urrent (A) of the welding arc. Note: The wire speed setting is the maximum wire speed. The wire speed will change to help keep the welding condition. WFU12A-ILS WFU12A-ILS...

4D is similar to 4T but with a delay time of 1 seconds before it latches on, this allows a quick tack weld feature in latch mode. Note! During welding the MF36 displays the voltage (U) of the welding arc. If the optional current transducer LEM circuit is fitted WFU12A-ILS...

Power source set to MMA (constant current), either change power source to MIG (constant voltage) or set wire-feeder to constant current setting. When using the Wire-feeder in constant current mode, especially with flux-cored wires, it improves the welding characteristic if reverse polarity is used (torch -ve). WFU12A-ILS...
