These parameters are set in different situations in different ways, according to the welder's requirements. See
paragraph 6.1 to change the value of any function in the current welding mode.

5. METAL INERT GAS / METAL ACTIVE GAS ARC WELDING (MIG/MAG)

ATTENTION: In the simplest case for welding ferrous metals, carbon dioxide "CO2" is used
as a shielding gas, and for welding aluminum only inert gases such as argon "Ar",
sometimes helium "He" are suitable. For stainless and high-alloy steels, mixtures in various
proportions of "80% Ar+20% CO2" are often used. The use of other gases is allowed only by
agreement with the equipment manufacturer.
ATTENTION: The device has a standard KZ-2 type EURO connector for MIG/MAG welding
torches, you can purchase any torch of your preference at a later time.
The procedure for preparing for welding with solid wire:
-
insert the earthing cable into the B "-" socket of the source;
-
connect the earthing cable to the workpiece;
-
connect the wire feeder's power plug to the source A "+" socket;
-
connect and screw the MIG torch to the socket 12 on the wire feeder until it stops;
-
install a pressure regulator on a bottle of shielding gas "СО2", "Ar" or "Ar+CO2";
-
connect the gas hose to the gas cylinder reducer and socket 16 on the rear panel of
the wire feeder;
-
open gas cylinder tap, check tightness
-
connect power supply mains cable to the power supply;
