Aluminium welding To weld with aluminum wire proceed as follows: • Replace the drive roller with the appropriate for aluminum wire. • Use a torch with a 3m cable and a carbon Teflon sheath. • Set the pressure between the drive rollers at the minimum, by turning the screw provided. •...
FIG. F Electrode welding (MMA) Electrode welding is used to weld most metals (different types of steel, etc.) using coated rutilic and basic electrodes with diam- eters ranging from Ø 1.6 mm to Ø 3,2 mm. 1) Connecting the welding cables (Fig. G): Disconnect the machine from the mains power supply and connect the welding cables to the output terminals (Positive and Negative) of the welding machine, attaching them to the clamp and ground with the polarity specified for the type of electrode being used (Fig.
WELDING PARAMETERS Table 4 shows some general indications for the choice of electrode, based on the thickness of the parts to be welded. The val- ues of current to use are shown in the table with the respective electrodes for the welding of common steels and low-grade al- loys.
The pointing out of any difficulties and their elimination The supply line is attributed with the cause of the most common difficulties. In the case of breakdown, proceed as follows: 1) Check the value of the supply voltage. 2) Check that the power cable is perfectly connected to the plug and the supply switch. 3) Check that the power fuses are not burned out or loose.
Troubleshooting table WARNING: Any internal inspections or repairs are only to be done by qualified personnel! IMPORTANT: Remember to disconnect the mains power supply and wait for the internal capacitors to discharge (about 2 min- utes) before starting to check and repair the machine if necessary. Defect Solution The welding machine...

7) Key T4 allows you to select: • Arc length adjustment ( • Welding voltage ( ). • Electronic inductance ( MIG-MAG manual Proceed in the following manner: 1) Start the welder by rotating the switch, located on the back panel, at the position I. 2) Select the MIG-MAG welding process by using the key T1.
7) Key T4 allows you to select: • Welding voltage ( ). • Electronic inductance ( Loading of the wire In the MIG-MAG welding processes, with the welder in operation, it is possible to load the wire inside the torch, following this simple procedure: •...
TIG welding Proceed in the following manner: 1) Start the welder by rotating the switch, located on the back panel, at the position I. 2) Select the TIG welding process using the key T1. 3) Turn the knob E1 to adjust and view the TIG welding current on the display D1. HOLD function This function will then start automatically at the end of each welding operation, and is signalled to the operator by the HOLD LED light turning on.
Factory default WARNING: If carried out, this operation results in complete resetting of all editable parameters to the factory settings. To carry out the reset of the settings / parameters, proceed in the following manner: 1) Press the key PRG (light on). 2) Rotate the E1 knob until both the displays read FAC no (see figure).
Firmware update ATTENTION: Before carrying out any inspection of the inside of the generator, disconnect the system from the supply. The welding machine can be updated using an SD card. Proceed as follows: • Turn off the welding machine by moving the main switch to the position “O”. •...
Error condition This paragraph describes the error conditions that may arise on the welding machine, the codes and messages shown on both opera- tor interface displays, and the diagnoses for attempting to correct and resolve them.
