2.4 instAlling the mig/mAg welding gun
After mounting the wire spool, connect the welding gun cable to the connector (3) in the
front of the feeder.
Remember that you need to use suitable wire liner and feed rolls for the welding wire you are
using. Check also, that the correct groove is used in the feed rolls. If you need to change the
feed rolls or select different groove, look the instructions in chapter 3.5.
Before feeding the wire into the gun, release the wire from spool and cut off the bent length.
Be careful not to let the wire unwind from the spool. Check that the end of the wire has no
sharp edges, which may damage the wire guide tube and the contact tip of the welding gun.
NOTE! When feeding the welding wire into the gun, be sure that you are not pointing the gun at
anyone and that there isn’t anything in front of the gun. The cut wire can be very sharp.
to feed the wire from the spool to the welding gun, do the following:
1. Draw some loose wire from the wire spool and feed it through the back guide to the feed
rolls. Do not release pressure of feed rolls!
2. Locate the Wire inch button inside the feeder and push the button down to start the
wire inching. Let the wire go through the feed rolls and enter the wire liner.
3. Keep the wire inch button pressed, until the wire comes through the contact tip.
Check once again that the wire is still properly in the grooves of both feed roll pairs. Now the
Kemppi ArcFeed is ready to weld.
NOTE! When welding gun trigger is pressed, the welding current is connected to the wire. To avoid
accidents and electric shock, it is not recommended to use gun trigger for wire inching.
3. mAChine settings
3.1 setting the mAximum wire Feed speed
The maximum wire feed speed of Kemppi ArcFeed is by default 18 m/min. This is enough
for most welding work. However, if you need higher speed, you can raise it to 25 m/min by
replacing the gear wheel D28 with a larger one, model D40.
NOTE! After changing the gear wheel, you must also set the right jumper setting on the control card
of the feeder.
to change the gear wheel, do the following:
