The machine can also be used with a generator. The minimum power for the
generator is 4.2 kVA, and the recommended power 8.0 kVA in order for the
machine to be used at maximum capacity.
Earthing
The earthing cable is already connected to the machine. Clean the workpiece
surface and fix the earthing cable clamp to the piece in order to create a
closed and interference-free circuit needed for welding.

Welding gun

The welding gun is already connected to the machine. The welding gun
leads the filler wire, shielding gas and electric current to the weld. When you
press the welding gun trigger, shielding gas flow and wire feed begin. The arc
ignites, when the filler wire touches the welded piece.
The gun neck can be rotated 360°. When turning the neck, always make
sure that the neck is twisted almost all the way to the bottom. This prevents
damaging and overheating the neck.

NOTE!
If you use other than 0.8 mm diameter filler wire, change the welding gun
contact tip to match the wire thickness.

Shielding gas

The shielding gas used for steel wires is carbon dioxide or a mixture of argon
and carbon dioxide which replaces air in the arc's area. Thickness of the
welded sheet and welding power define the flow rate of the shielding gas.
The machine is delivered with a 4.5 m long shielding gas hose. Connect the
bayonet socket of the shielding gas hose to the machine's hose connector
and the hose connector end to the gas bottle's control valve.
