3. Configuració

3.1 Connexió d'alimentació

1. Assegureu-vos que l'interruptor d'alimentació de la màquina de soldar estigui en la posició "OFF".
2. Connect the power cable to a suitable 1-AC 230V power outlet. Ensure the outlet is properly grounded and can handle the machine's power requirements.

3.2 Gas Connection (for MIG/MAG welding)

If performing MIG/MAG welding, an external shielding gas cylinder is required. For flux-cored welding, no external gas is needed.

1. Connect the gas hose from your shielding gas cylinder (not included) to the gas inlet connector on the rear panel of the welding machine.
2. Assegureu-vos que totes les connexions estiguin ben ajustades per evitar fuites de gas.

3.3 Instal·lació de la bobina de filferro

1. Open the side panel of the welding machine to access the wire spool compartment.
2. Place the wire spool onto the spool holder. Ensure the wire unwinds in the correct direction. The machine supports wire spools from 0.5 kg to 5 kg.
3. Thread the welding wire through the wire feeder mechanism. Ensure it passes through the guide tube and into the drive rollers.
4. Close the drive roller tension arm and adjust the tension knob to apply appropriate pressure to the wire. The wire should feed smoothly without slipping or being crushed.

3.4 Connexió d'accessoris de soldadura

1. Torxa MIG: Connect the MIG torch cable to the corresponding connector on the front panel. Ensure it is securely fastened.
2. Portaelèctrodes (per a MMA): Connecteu el cable del portaelèctrode al terminal positiu (+) del panell frontal.
3. Terra Clamp: Connecteu la terra clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the front panel. Attach the ground clamp fixat de manera segura a la peça o a la taula de soldadura, garantint un bon contacte elèctric.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

4.1 Funcionament general

1. After completing all connections, switch the power button to 'ON'.
2. Select the desired welding process (MIG/MAG, MMA, or Flux-Cored) using the mode selection switch on the control panel.
3. Ajustar els paràmetres de soldadura (corrent, volum)tage, wire speed) according to the material thickness and welding process. The synergic control knob simplifies this by suggesting optimal settings, which can then be fine-tuned manually.

4.2 Soldadura MIG/MAG

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) and MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding use a continuously fed wire electrode and an external shielding gas to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. The choice of gas depends on the material being welded.

• Ensure the gas cylinder is connected and the gas flow rate is set appropriately.
• Select MIG/MAG mode.
• Ajusta el voltage i velocitat d'alimentació del filferro.
• Maintain a consistent torch angle and travel speed for optimal results.

4.3 Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

Flux-cored welding uses a tubular wire filled with flux, which produces its own shielding gas when burned, eliminating the need for an external gas cylinder. This makes it suitable for outdoor use or when gas cylinders are impractical.

• Ensure flux-cored wire is loaded. No external gas connection is required.
• Select Flux-Cored mode.
• Ajusta el voltage i velocitat d'alimentació del filferro.
• Clean slag from the weld after cooling.

4.4 Soldadura MMA (manual per arc metàl·lic)

MMA welding, also known as stick welding, uses a consumable electrode coated with flux. The flux creates a shielding gas and slag to protect the weld. This process does not require external shielding gas.

• Insert the appropriate electrode into the electrode holder.
• Seleccioneu el mode MMA.
• Adjust the welding current. The Hot Start function assists with arc ignition, and Arc Force helps maintain a stable arc.
• Strike the arc and maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
• Chip off slag after the weld has cooled.

4.5 Safety Precautions During Operation

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a welding helmet with suitable shade, welding gloves, protective clothing, and safety shoes.
• Ensure adequate ventilation in the welding area to disperse fumes.
• Mantenir un extintor a prop.
• No soldeu prop de materials inflamables.
• Eviteu tocar les peces elèctriques amb tensió.

5. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el funcionament segur de la vostra màquina de soldar.

• Neteja: Netegeu periòdicament l'exterior de la màquina amb un drap sec. Feu servir aire comprimit per treure la pols i les restes de les obertures de ventilació. Assegureu-vos que la màquina estigui desendollada abans de netejar-la.
• Inspecció del cable: Regularly inspect all welding cables, torch, electrode holder, and ground clamp per danys, talls o connexions soltes. Substituïu els components danyats immediatament.
• Alimentador de filferro: Keep the wire feeder mechanism clean and free of debris. Check the drive rollers for wear and ensure proper tension.
• Emmagatzematge: Store the welding machine in a dry, clean environment, away from dust and moisture, when not in use.
