This operating manual contains important information on the use, maintenance and safety of your Kemppi product. The technical specifications of the equipment can be found at the end of the manual. Please read the manual carefully before using the equipment for the first time. For your own safety and that of your working environment, pay particular attention to the safety instructions in the manual.
The Kemppi ArcFeed is a voltage sensing wire feeder for MIG/MAG welding. It can be combined with a variety of power sources of various brands, also with the ones designed for MMA welding. The recommended power sources to be used with Kemppi ArcFeed are Kemppi Master 5001 and Kemppi Master MLS 3500.
2.4 mm with the 300P model • Solid wires 1.0–1.6 mm In Kemppi ArcFeed 200 you can use 200mm wire spools. In models 300, 300P and 300RC, you can use 300 mm wire spools. mOunting the wire spOOl model 200: Open the locking nut (A) of the spool holder.
Feed speed The maximum wire feed speed of Kemppi ArcFeed is by default 18 m/min. This is enough for most welding work. However, if you need higher speed, you can raise it to 25 m/min by replacing the gear wheel D28 with a larger one, model D40.
Adjusting the spOOl BrAke The Kemppi ArcFeed is equipped with a spool brake to prevent the wire from unwinding and tangling when the spool stops rotating at the end of the weld. The need for spool brake force is increased with the increase of the wire feed speed.
There are different feed rolls for different welding wires. Also, each feed roll has two grooves for different wire sizes. The Kemppi ArcFeed is equipped with standard feed rolls, which are equipped with plain grooves. These feed rolls can be used in welding with all kinds of wires. There are, however, following feed roll groove shapes available for special purposes: • Knurled groove is designed for cored wires and steel wires.

to change feed rolls, do the following: Remove the feed rolls by unscrewing their fixing screws. Insert the new feed rolls into their place. Select the right groove according to the wire you are using. See the instructions below. Fasten the feed rolls with their fixing screws and drive the wire into the welding gun as instructed in chapter 2.4 'Installing the welding gun' .
Before starting to use the Kemppi ArcFeed wire feeder, you must be aware of the power source type you are using ( either CC, constant current, or CV, constant voltage). The suitable welding wire for the welding application must also be loaded in the feeder. For more information, see Chapter 3.
At the power source, select the correct values for welding voltage and current, if available. Use the control knob of the Kemppi ArcFeed to enter the necessary WFS setting at the feeder. The value is shown on the display. 4.1.3 selecting the welding gun operating mode With the switch (2) you can set the MIG welding gun to either two-sequence (2T) or four- sequence (4T) mode.
how to use the welding gun in 2t operating mode: Press the gun trigger down to start welding. Release the gun trigger to stop welding. how to use the welding gun in 4t operating mode: Press the gun trigger down to start the flow of the shielding gas. Release the trigger to start welding.
The Kemppi ArcFeed 200 wire feeder should never be hanged by its handle. Use a special hanging frame for hanging it to a welding beam or other. See 'Accessories' in Chapter 'Ordering numbers' at the end of this manual.
We recommend that you schedule a service inspection of your welding machine every six months. An authorised Kemppi service agent will inspect and clean your machine, ensuring that all power connections are tight and secure. Power connections can become loose and oxidised with frequent and high changes in temperature.
