3. Instruccions de configuració
3.1. Welder Setup
- Desembalatge: Carefully remove the welder and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Col·locació: Position the welder on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials. Ensure adequate clearance for cooling air circulation.
- Connexió d'alimentació: Connect the welder to an appropriate power supply. Verify that the voltage and current ratings match the welder's requirements. Use a properly grounded outlet.
- Terra Clamp Connexió: Enganxa el terra clamp cable to the designated terminal on the welder. Securely connect the ground clamp a la peça de treball o a la taula de soldadura, garantint un bon contacte elèctric.
- MIG Torch Connection: Connect the MIG torch to the appropriate connector on the front panel of the welder. Ensure it is securely fastened.
- Instal·lació de la bobina de filferro: Open the wire feed compartment. Install the welding wire spool onto the spindle, ensuring it rotates freely. Thread the wire through the guide and into the drive rollers. Adjust the drive roller tension according to the wire type and diameter.
- Gas Cylinder Connection (for Gas MIG): If performing Gas MIG welding, connect the gas hose from the welder to a suitable shielding gas cylinder (e.g., Argon, CO2, or Argon/CO2 mix) via a regulator. Ensure all connections are leak-free.
