1 WARNING Always use regulation shoes that are strong and ensure insulation from water. Before performing any operation on the machine, make sure that you have thoroughly read and understood the contents of this booklet. Always use regulation gloves ensuring electrical and Do not perform modifications or maintenance thermal insulation.
Ensure the cooling unit is switched off before dis- or containers even if these are open, empty and have been connecting the pipes of the cooling liquid. The hot cleaned thoroughly. Any residue of gas, fuel, oil or similar liquid coming out of the pipes might cause burning materials might cause an explosion.
The arc striking and stabilizing device is designed Mains power supply requirements (See technical data) for manual or mechanically guided operation. High power equipment may, due to the primary current drawn form the mains supply, influence the power quality of the grid. Therefore connection restrictions or requirements regarding the maximum permissible mains impedance (Zmax) or the required Increasing the length of torch or welding cables...
2 INSTALLATION 2.3 Connection Installation should be performed only by expert personnel authorised by the manufacturer. The equipment is provided with a power supply cable for con- nection to the mains. During installation, ensure that the power source The system can be powered by: is disconnected from the mains.
2.4 Installation Connection for TIG welding Connection for MMA welding The connection shown in the figure produces reverse polarity welding. To obtain straight polar- ity welding, reserve the connection. - Connect (10) the earth clamp to the positive socket (+) (11) ofthe power source.

Cause Damaged torch liner. Cause Incorrect arc regulation Solution Increase the equivalent circuit inductive value setting. Solution Replace the faulty component. Contact the nearest service centre to have the sys- tem repaired. Cause Insufficient shielding gas. Solution Adjust the gas flow. Cause No power supply to the wire feeder.
Sticking Cause Insufficient shielding gas. Cause Incorrect arc length. Solution Adjust the gas flow. Solution Increase the distance between the electrode and Check that the diffuser and the gas nozzle of the the piece. torch are in good condition. Increase the welding voltage. Cause The weld pool solidifies too quickly.
Choosing the welding current Another type of start is also possible, with reduced tungsten The range of welding current related to the type of electrode inclusions: the lift start, which does not require high frequency, used is specified by the manufacturer usually on the electrode but only an initial short-circuit at low current between the elec- packaging.
7.3 Continuous wire welding (MIG/MAG) 7.2.1 Steel TIG welding The TIG procedure is very effective for welding both carbon and Introduction alloyed steel, for first runs on pipes and for welding where good A MIG system consists of a direct current power source, wire appearance is important.

Welding parameters The visibility of the arc reduces the need for the user to strictly observe the adjustment tables as he can directly monitor the weld pool. - The voltage directly affects the appearance of the bead, but the dimensions of the weld bead can be varied according to requirements by manually moving the torch to obtain variable deposits with constant voltage.
