INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1. Welding Preparation - Secure the necessary welding supplies
• Welding Power Source (3 phase, 440/380/220V AC)
• Wire Feeder
• Tank of appropriate shielding gas, with pressure and flow regulators and appropriate fittings
• Torch for gas shielded automated welding
• Basic Weld Prep Tools
2. Cable Connections
• Connect welding torch conduit cable to wire feeder
• Connect Weld Contactor lead from Torch to Main Cable Connector on machine body
• Connect Control Cable to the Control Box Connector on the machine body
• Connect Control Power Source Cable to the Welding Power Source
CAUTION: Carefully route power cable as it may become entangled during operation, resulting
in damage to people or equipment.
3. Welding Process
• Switch ON the Primary Side Distribution Board of the Welding Power Source
• Switch ON the Control Power Source on the front panel of the Welding Power Source
• Equip the Wire Feeder with wire
• Set the Carriage so the torch is at the weld starting point
• Install the Guide Arms offset in the direction of travel (leading arm slightly shorter than
following arm) for better positioning of the electrode in the joint
• Adjust the target angle and position of the Torch using the Torch Adjustment Slider
• Verify machine is in the proper welding mode. Set stitch welding parameters, if needed
• Verify adequate Shielding Gas Supply
• Start Welding - Switch Welding Switch to AUTO, verify desired travel direction is set and
travel speed is > 0 and press Cycle Start button
