8.   PREPARING THE WELDER

Warning!

 Do not make any adjustments, maintenance or servicing with the machine 

connected to the power supply.

8.1 LOCATION

Locate the machine in close proximity to the correct power supply and allow 500mm air gap 
around to ensure sufficient ventilation. There is one cooling fan located in the rear of the 
machine housing which must be kept clear. Equally, ensure no debris can be drawn into the 
machine.

Make certain the location does not pose any hazards as detailed in the safety instructions, 
before attempting to start the machine.

8.2 INSTALLING THE FILLER WIRE

– FIGS. 1 – 3

The welding machines are designed to accept the 
standard size drums of wire up to 500g.

Do not let the filler wire become uncoiled or tangled 
as this will lead to problems with delivery to the 
welding torch.

Select the filler wire suitable for the parent metal and 
with a gauge to match the welder specification.

Note:

 If the welding machine is not regularly used, 

remove the wire which is prone to rusting and will 
cause feed problems next time.

i.    Lift the latch 

 to release the top cover 

.

ii.   Remove the large plastic ring 

 (turning it  

   clockwise). Sit the reel on to the hub 

 and  

   make sure the peg locates in the back of the  
   reel. Refit the large plastic ring 

.

iii.  Fit the wire spool so that it feeds off the roll  

   towards the wire drive unit.
