nents without protection.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Do not remove the grounding lug in any elec-
trical plug.
Electrical shock can cause injury.
During wire installation, the welder must be switched
off and unplugged to prevent the motor roller from
movingpresenting a risk for the operator.
Fit the reel on the support inside the compartment as
shown in g. 1.
The reel must be tted on the support so the wire
unwinds in an clockwise direction. It is important for
the wire to be stopped on the reel on the visible side,
see g. 2. Block the reel on the support, as shown in
the illustration.
Make sure the drive roller is correctly positioned
according to the diameter and type of wire used. To
remove the roller, align the at part of the roller-bearing
pin at the bottom, so the key can be tted inside the
retention screw. Loosen the screw, remove the roller, t
the roller back on so the race corresponds to the wire
used, see gures 3 and 4.
Cut the wire with a well-sharpened tool, keeping it
between your ngers so that it cannot unwind, insert it
inside the plastic pipe exiting from the gear motor and,
with the aid of a nger, also insert it inside the brass
adapter, see gures 5-6-7-8.

4- ADJUSTING THE WELDING VOLTAGE (ARC
LENGTH)
If the wire tends to disappear within the gas nozzle while you
would like to see its length, for instance to easily reach corners
or to direct it where you wish, then we need to shorten the arc
by setting it to a lower value of voltage, thus creating a greater
stick out.
With more wire out (stick out), you have a more concentrated
arc that generates a higher, more pronounced and a
slightly stretched out weld bead; if you wish to intervene,
it is necessary to increase the arc voltage value.
A higher arc voltage greater contributes to further spread
the weld bead material, keeping practically unchanged
the penetration that instead depends mainly on the value
of current, on the wire speed and on the inductance.
To change the welding
voltage V, simply press the
knob
B
for less than 2
seconds. The display screen
will show (Arc Length) an
adjustment bar with central
0. The value can be changed by means of the knob
B
from -9.9 to 9.9. To exit from the function, briey press the
knob
B
.
By changing the value, once having exited the sub-menu,
alongside the voltage V, an arrow will appear turned
upwards to indicate a higher adjustment of the set value,
while the arrow turned downwards will indicate a lower
adjustment.
ADVANCED SETTING

Start Curr, starting current, adjustable from 10 to
200% of set welding current.
Slope time, possibility of adjusting from 0.1 to 10
seconds. Denes the connection time between starting
current (Start Curr) and welding current and between
welding current and crater ller current or crater lling
at the welding end (Crater Curr).Possibility of adjusting
from 10 to 200% of the set welding current.
Welding starts at the welding torch button pressure.
The named current will be the starting current Start
Curr. This current is kept as long as the welding torch
button is held down; when the welding torch button is
released the starting current connects to the welding
current, which is kept as long as the welding torch
button is held down. When the torch trigger is pressed
again, the welding current will connect to the crater-
ller current (Crater- Curr) and it will be maintained
until the torch button is released.

HSA (Automatic Hot Start).
This function is blocked when function 3L is activated.
Once the function has been enabled, the operator may
adjust the starting current (Start Curr) from 10 to 200%
of the welding current (Default 130%). The duration
of this current (S.C. Time) may also be adjusted from
0.1 to 10 seconds (default 0,5 sec.). The switching time
(Slope Time) between the starting current (Start Curr)
and the welding current may also be adjusted from 0.1
to 10 seconds (default 0.5 seconds.).
CRA (crater ller - nal crater lling).
This function is blocked when function 3L is activated.
It is working during welding 2T, 4T and also in
combination with function HSA.
After activating the function, the operator may adjust
the connection time (Slope Time) between the welding
current and the crater lling current (Crater Curr.) from
0.1 to 10 seconds (default 0.5 seconds.).
The operator may also adjust the crater lling current
(Crater Curr.) from 10 to 200% of the welding current
(Default 60%).
The time (C.C. Time) of the crater lling duration may
also be adjusted from 0.1 to 10 seconds (default 0.5
seconds).
Double Pulse
This type of welding varies the intensity of the current
between two levels and can be included in all synergic
programs.
Before setting welding with a double level, it is
necessary to make a short weld bead, so to dene the
wire speed and consequently the current; This step is
13
ADVANCED SETTING cont'd
recommended to obtain the optimal penetration and
width of the bead for the joint to be made. This type of
welding varies the intensity between two levels.
Before setting the double level welding, it is necessary
to make a short bead to determine the wire speed and
the current to obtain the penetration and the bead
width closest to the type of welding to be made.
The wire feed speed is thus determined (and the
corresponding current); the inch/meters per minute that
will be set will be alternatively added to and subtracted
from this value.
Before start working you should not forget that for a
correct bead, the minimum overlapping between two
“meshes”must be 50%.
Activate the function.
Turn the knob to select the frequency on the display.
Press the knob to change its value (adjustment from
0.5 to 5 Hz).
Turn the knob to select the difference in inch/min of the
double pulse on the display. Press the knob to change
its value (adjustment from 3 to 196 in / min).
Turn the knob to select the double pulse duty cycle
on the display. Press the knob to change its value
(adjustment from 25 to 75%) (default 50%).
Turn the knob to select the arc length of the major
current. Press the knob to change the adjustment
value from -9.9 to 9.9 V (default 0).
Inductance
Adjustment can vary from -9.9 to +9.9. Factory setting
is zero. If the gure is negative, the impedance drops
and the arc becomes harder, while if it increases, the
arc is softer.

MAINTENANCE
WELDER MAINTENANCE
Electrical shock can result when contacting live electrode or internal components
Electrical shock can result from absence of grounding lug.
Welding machine must be connected to power source in accordance with applicable electrical codes.
Do not touch electrode or internal components without protection.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Do not remove the grounding lug in any electrical plug.
Electrical shock can cause injury.
In case of maintenance inside the welder, make sure the switch
F
is in “O” position and that the power supply cable
is disconnected from the mains.
Periodically, also clean the inside of the appliance and remove any metal dust using compressed air.
HOW TO PROCEED AFTER MAKING REPAIRS
After making repairs, always ensure the wires are fully insulated between the primary side and the secondary side of
the machine. Avoid the wires coming into contact with moving parts or parts that heat up during operation. Fit all the
clamps back as on the original machine so as to avoid any contact between the primary and secondary in case of
accidental lead breakage or disconnection.
Also t the screws back on with the toothed washers as on the original machine.
