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 2.3 Connecting to the electric network Check if the voltage stated on the device label complies with rated voltage of alternate voltage 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 2.5 Torch wire liner For mild steel, the wire feed tube - a liner for welding - consists of a steel spiral. When using wire electrodes made of chromium / nickel steel and of aluminum and other metals, a tube of wear-resistant plastic (for example Teflon) is used.
Operation manual IM 240-i 2.6 The feeding unit Pressure adjustment Feeding rolls Fixing point Please choose the feeding rolls correspond to used welding wire. Material Shape Diameter Article-Number 0,6/0,8mm 337219 Inox 0.8/1.0mm 337220 CuSi CuAl AlMg 0,8/1,0mm AlSi When the feeding wheel is set up, you can see on the front side of the wheel the assigned welding wire diameter (value is in mm).
IM 240-i Operation manual 2.7 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.
Operation manual IM 240-i 3 SAFETY AND FIRE INSTRUCTION Keep this device out from children. You have to follow the safety and fire instruction when you work with welding device for welding in protective atmosphere. Regulations for preven- ting of accidents during "welding, cutting and similar working activities".
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 3.5 Extraordinary menace during welding - It`s not allowed to weld in rooms with increased “danger” of fire or explosion. The special regulations must be followed in this areas. - It`s not allowed to weld in tanks for gas, fuel, oil, paint etc., even if they are empty for a long time.
IM 240-i Operation manual 4 WELDING PROCESSES 4.1 MIG/MAG Welding Partial mechanical gas shielded arc welding (MIG), optionally as MIG (inert gas welding, EN ISO 4063: process 131) or MAG welding (metal welding with active, ie reactive gases, EN ISO 4063: process 135), is an arc welding process in which the consumable welding wire is continuously tracked by a variable speed motor.

Operation manual IM 240-i Arc ranges for 1.0mm Fe G3Si wire Short Arc The short arc occurs in the lower power range, at lower current intensities and arc voltages. Short arc transfer time The arc length changes cyclically. Thus, working point shifts of welding current and welding voltage are connected.

IM 240-i Operation manual Mixed Arc Mixed arc transfer time view Between the arc types short and spray arc is the mixed arc which is characterized by strong spatter formation. Spray Arc Spray arc transfer time view The spray arc burns continuously without a short-circuit interruption. The material transfer from the wire electrode into the weld pool is fine-droplet.
IM 240-i Operation manual 5 Operation 5.1 Turning the device ON Always use the main switch to turn On and Off the device, never use the power plug for this purpose! Power-on sequence After powered special power on sequence is started on the operating panel, to give the user information about the firmware.
5.3 Set up, adjustment and display description Synergic mode 5.3.1.1 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 9 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 troubleshooting 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.
