Operating manual
POWER SUPPLY-START-UP
•The 230 V model is supplied with a 16 A CEE7/7 type plug and must only be used on a 230 V (50 - 60
Hz) single-phase, three-wire electrical installation with an earthed neutral conductor.
•The 208/240 V model is supplied without a plug and must only be used on a single-phase 208-240 V (50-60 Hz) three-wire electrical installation with
an earthed neutral conductor.
The effective absorbed current (I1eff) is indicated on the appliance for maximum operating conditions. Check that the power supply and its protection
(fuse and/or circuit breaker) are compatible with the current required during use. In some countries, it may be necessary to change the plug to enable
use under maximum conditions.
• The power source is designed to operate on an electrical voltage of 230 V -20% +15%. It goes into protection if the supply voltage is less than 185
Vrms or more than 265 Vrms (a fault code will appear on the display).
•It starts by pressing the START/STOP switch (ON) and stops by pressing the same switch (OFF). Warning! Never switch off the power supply
when the unit is under load.
CONNECTION TO GENERATOR
This equipment can operate with generators provided that the auxiliary power meets the following requirements:
- The voltage must be alternating, with an RMS value of 230 V -20% +15%, and a peak voltage of less than 400 V,
- The frequency must be between 50 and 60 Hz.
It is essential to check these conditions, as many generators produce high voltage peaks which can damage the equipment.
USE OF EXTENSION LEAD
All extension leads must be of a length and cross-section appropriate for the voltage of the equipment. Use an extension lead which complies with
national regulations.

- Check the marking on the roller to ensure that the rollers are suitable for the wire diameter and the
wire material (for a Ø 1.0 wire, use the Ø 1.0 groove).
- Use V-grooved rollers for steel and other hard wires.
- Use U-grooved rollers for aluminium and other soft alloy wires.
For example: 10 = Ø 1.0)

- Remove the nozzle (a) and contact tube (b) from your MIG/MAG torch.
- Open the generator hatch.
- Position the coil on its support.
- Take note of the drive pin (c) on the coil support. To fit a 200 mm coil, tighten the plastic coil holder
(a) as far as it will go.

- Adjust the brake knob (b) to prevent the inertia of the spool tangling the wire when the weld is stop-
ped. As a general rule, do not overtighten, as this will cause the motor to overheat.
To change the rollers, proceed as follows:
- Loosen the knob (a) as far as it will go and lower it.
- Unlock the rollers by unscrewing the retaining screws (b).
- Fit the correct motor rollers for your application and screw the retaining screws back in.
