4 INSTALLATION<br />

WARNING!<br />

This product is intended for industrial use. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio<br />

interference. It is the user’s responsibility to take adequate precautions.<br />

Connecting the extension cable and the welding gun<br />

S The extension cable is connected to connector (6). Connect the 14--pole sleeve<br />

plug on the extension cable’s control cable to the pin socket (7) and tighten the<br />

nut.<br />

S Connect the other end of the extension cable to the corresponding socket on the<br />

power source’s wire feed unit.<br />

S The welding gun is connected to connector (5).<br />

Feed roller<br />

S Make sure the right feed roller and groove is used for the selected wire size.<br />

Each feed roller has grooves for two wire sizes. The feed roller should have the<br />

correct marking for respective wires facing outwards, towards you.<br />

S The feed roller can be turned or replaced using another suitable roller (see the<br />

spare parts list), by removing the screw that holds the feed rollers.<br />

Feeding the wire forward<br />

S Connect the power source to the mains supply.<br />

S Set the wire feed speed between 1--18m/min using the potentiometer (2) on the<br />

intermediate wire feed unit.<br />

S Straighten out the extension cable and the welding gun cable.<br />

S Swing out the control levers on the feed mechanism so that the feed rollers are<br />

released. Feed the wire forward to the intermediate wire feed unit by holding the<br />

welding gun trigger pressed in.<br />

S Guide the wire through the nozzles over the pressure rollers and into the welding<br />

gun’s wire--liner, swing back the pressure levers to their original positions.<br />

S Hold the welding gun trigger pressed in until the wire is fed out through the contact<br />

tip on the gun.<br />

S By setting the correct spring tension on the rollers a slip--free wire feed is obtained.<br />

If the rollers slip or in any other way do not function correctly perhaps the<br />

pre--tension needs to be adjusted. This is carried out using the adjuster screws<br />

on respective pressure arms. The pre--tension can be checked by using the<br />

graduated scale on respective adjuster screws.<br />
