DEVICE PRESENTATION
Put the rubber mat (only for the Magys 400-4) and the four ring eyes (with their lock washers). The gas bottle needs to be fastened with 2 chains in
the holes at the back of the machine. Attention: Fasten correctly the bottle. You have also holes to pass a strap on (not included).

SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR STEEL / STAINLESS STEEL (MAG MODE) (FIG. 2-A)
The MAGYS units are equipped originally to work on 1mm steel wire (original drive rollers Ø 1/1.2 steel/stainless steel).
Make sure that drive rollers, liner and contact tube are adapted to your wire diameter.
For Steel or Stainless Steel, you will need to use specific gas - Argon + CO2 (Ar + CO2). The proportion of CO2 will vary depending on usage. The
gas flow for steel is between 15 and 25L / min depending on the environment and experience of the welder.
For wires with a diameter > 1.6 mm, it is recommended to remove the capillary tube.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING FOR ALUMINIUM (MIG MODE) (FIG. 2-B)
This welding unit can weld aluminium wires from 1mm.
To weld aluminium, neutral gas “pure Argon” (AR) is required. When choosing gas, ask a gas distributor for advice. The gas flow in aluminium should
be between 20 and 25 L / min depending on the environment and experience of the welder.
Things to note when welding with Aluminium
- Set the pressure of the rollers to a minimum so as not to crush the wire
- Remove the capillary tube before connecting the aluminium torch
- When welding aluminium use a special aluminium torch with Teflon sheath to reduce friction.
Do not cut the sheath near the connector! It is used to guide the wire from the rollers.
(See diagram (16))
- Contact Tip: Use the specific Aluminium contact tip corresponding to the diameter of the wire.
- Drive rollers: Use specific drive rollers to weld with aluminium wire.
REEL AND TORCH ASSEMBLY (FIG. 3)
• Position the reel on to the support taking care of the pin (1). To use with 5kg (Ø200mm) wire reels requires use of reel adaptor (ref. 042889).
• Adjust the reel break (2) to avoid the reel movement tangling the wire when welding stops. Then tighten the plastic screw (3) firmly.
• For the first use :
- Release the fixing screw of the wire guide (5)
- Place the rollers, and tighten the screws (6).
- Place the wire guide (7) as close as possible to the roller but without touching it, then tighten the fixing screw.
• To select the adjustment of the drive rollers (8), bend the wire where it comes out of the nozzle to stop it, and then start the motor. Tighten the
knob whilst pressing the trigger until the wire starts to move. The setting is correct when the guide roller slides over the wire, even when it is blocked
at the end of the torch.
NOTE:
When the trigger is pulled and without any contact detected within 4s, the MAGYS will automatically switch to the ‘fast forward’ mode until
the trigger is released. There is no gas during this operation.
WARNING:
The ‘fast forward’ mode use current in the wire; avoid any contact with any metallic part around.
GAS COUPLING
Fit the regulator/flowmeter to the gas bottle, and then fit the gas pipe to the connector (see (10), FIG-2 for MAGYS 400-4). To avoid gas leaks, use
the collars provided in the accessories box.
LIQUID COOLING (MAGYS 500 WS) (FIG-2) & THERMAL PROTECTION
Connect the red and blue wire of the connecting harness from the generator (11) to the separate wire feeder (see WS-4L/W5S-4L user manual)
Fill the tank
(12)
up to its maximum (5.5L).
The cooling liquid recommended by GYS (ref. 052246), must be used. The use of any other cooling
liquid, and especially the standard automobile liquid, can lead by electrolysis effect, to the accumulation of dumps in the cooling system, damaging
it and even more by blocking the circuit.
Any damage caused to the machine by the use of another cooling liquid will not be taken under warranty.
The MAGYS 500 WS is not recommended to be used by an air cooled torch.
If anyway you want to use an air cooled torch, a by-pass is supplied with the unit. Connect it between the red and blue cables. If
you don’t respect this rule, the pump will be damaged, and the repair will not be taken under warranty.
MAGYS 500 WS: NEVER USE YOUR UNIT WITHOUT COOLING LIQUID
when the pump is working. Ensure liquid is at least minimum level (gauge at back of machine)
Failure to adhere to this may result in irreparable damage to the cooling system, and machine.
