INSTALLING THE GAS CYLINDER. The welder is designed to
4.5.
accommodate small or medium sized gas cylinders up to a maximum
height of 1000mm. Contact your local Gas dealer for supply.
4.5.1.
Place the gas cylinder onto the rear platform of the welder. See
fig.2-P.
4.5.2.
Place one end of the fixing chain into one side of the retaining
bracket. Draw the chain around the cylinder and place it into the
slot on the other side of the bracket leaving as little slack in the chain as possible.
4.6.
ATTACHING THE REGULATOR. Whichever gas you are using it is advisable to 'crack' the cylinder valve before attaching the regulator.
This means opening and closing the valve very quickly in order to blow away any dust and dirt that may have accumulated in the gas
outlet. Stand to one side whilst doing this.
4.6.1.
CO
GAS. Ensure that the threads on the gas bottle are undamaged and free of oil and grease before attaching the regulator. (Oil or
²
grease in the presence of high pressure gases can be explosive). Ensure that the regulator has an undamaged gasket fitted. The
regulator will screw directly to the threads on the gas bottle. Tighten with a spanner.
4.6.2.
ARGON GAS OR ARGON MIXTURES. Cylinders containing Argon gas and Argon mixtures have a female thread and will require the use
of a Bull Nose Adaptor to attach the regulator to the cylinder as indicated in fig.4. Ensure that the threads on the gas bottle are
undamaged and free of oil and grease before attaching the regulator. (Oil or grease in the presence of high pressure gases is explosive).
Fit the Bull Nose Adaptor to the cylinder first and tighten with a spanner. Ensure that the regulator has an undamaged gasket before
fitting onto the Bull Nose Adaptor. Tighten with a spanner.
4.6.3.
Slide a clip over each end of the gas hose supplied. Push one end of the hose onto the regulator outlet and the other end over the gas
inlet spigot on the back of the welder. See fig.2G. Tighten the clips to ensure a good seal.
4.6.4.
Close the regulator valve by turning it anti-clockwise before opening the cylinder valve. Stand to one side when opening the cylinder
valve.
4.6.5.
Set the regulator flow rate to 5-8 litres/min depending on the material to be welded, and whether there are draughts which are
strong enough to disturb the gas flow
fig.4
4.7.
CONNECT THE TORCH CABLE TO THE WELDER.
4.7.1.
Align the pins on the Euro connector with the socket on the welder
front panel as shown in fig.5. Push the connector into the socket
and rotate the locking ring (A) clockwise so that it draws the plug into
the socket as shown in fig.6.
Note: damage to torches and cables is not covered by warranty.
4.8.
FITTING A 15KG REEL OF WIRE
4.8.1.
Ensure that the wire diameter used, is matched by the correct groove
size in the drive wheel and the correct tip size on the torch as well as
the correct torch liner. Failure to do this could cause the wire to slip
and/or bind.
4.8.2.
Unscrew the locking knob from the end of the spool holder (see fig.7C)
and remove the spacer (B). The spacer is not required for
15kg reels of wire. Slide the reel of wire onto the spool holder and ensure that the clutch pin at the back of the spool holder (E)
engages into the guide hole in the wire reel moulding. This will prevent the wire reel from freewheeling on the spool holder. Ensure
that the wire is coming off the bottom of the reel in the direction of the wire drive unit as shown in fig.8 below.
4.9.
FITTING A 5KG REEL OF WIRE
4.9.1.
Ensure that the wire diameter used, is matched by the correct groove size in the drive wheel and the correct tip size on the torch as well
as the correct torch liner. Failure to do this could cause the wire to slip and/or bind.
4.9.2.
Unscrew the locking knob from the end of the spool holder (see fig.7C) and remove the spacer. Slide the reel of wire onto the spool
holder and ensure that the clutch pin at the back of the spool holder (E) engages into the guide hole in the wire reel moulding.
This will prevent the wire reel from freewheeling on the spool holder. Slide the spacer onto the spool holder and retain it by screwing the
knob into place as shown above in fig.9. Ensure that the wire is coming off the bottom of the reel in the direction of the wire drive unit as
shown in fig.10.
