RISK OF INJURY DUE TO MOVING PARTS
The wire feeders contain moving parts that may catch hand, hair, clothes or tools which can lead to injuries! Take extra care.
• Do not lay a hand to swivel or moving components or parts to the drive!
• Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain closed during operation!
MAINTENANCE
- Maintenance should only be carried out by a qualied person.
- Switch the machine off, ensure it is unplugged, and that the ventilator inside has stopped before carrying out maintenance work. (DANGER High
Voltage and Currents).
- GYS recommends removing the steel cover 2 or 3 times a year to remove any excess dust. Take this opportunity to have the electrical connections
checked by a qualied person with an insulated tool.
- Regularly check the condition of the power supply cord. If damaged, it will need to be replaced by the manufacturer, its’ after sales service or a
qualied person.
- Ensure the ventilation holes of the device are not blocked to allow adequate air circulation.
ANOMALIES, CAUSES, REMÈDES
symptoms possible causes remedies
The welding wire speed is not constant.
Debris is blocking up the opening.
Clean out the contact batch or change it and
replace the anti-adherence product. Ref.041806
The wire skids in the rollers.
Control the roller pressure or replace it.
Wire diameter non-compatible with roller
Covering wire guide in the torch non-compatible.
The wire-feeder motor doesn’t operate.
Reel or roller brake too tight. Release the brake and rollers.
Electrical supply problem.
Check that the power switch is in the "On"
position.
Bad wire feeding.
Covering wire guide dirty or damaged. Clean or replace.
Reel brake too tight Release the brake.
No welding current.
Bad connection to the main supply.
Check the mains connection and look if the plug
is fed by 400 V (3PH) power socket.
Bad earth connection.
Check the earth cable (connection and clamp
condition).
Torch trigger inoperative. Check the torch trigger / replace torch.
The wire jams (after the rollers).
Guide wire sheath crushed. Check the sheath and torch body.
Wire jammed in the torch Clean or replace.
No capillary tube. Check the presence of capillary tube.
Wire speed too fast Reduce the wire speed.
The welding bead is porous.
The gas ow rate is not sufcient.
Adjust ow range 15 to 20 L / min. Clean the
working metal.
Gas bottle empty. Replace it.
Gas quality unsatisfactory. Replace it.
Air ow or wind inuence. Prevent drafts, protect welding area.
Gas nozzle dirty. Clean or replace the gas nozzle.
Poor quality wire. Use suitable WIRE for MIG-MAG welding.
Surface to weld in bad condition. (rust, etc…) Clean the metal before welding.
Very important ashing particules.
Arc voltage too low or too high. See welding settings.
Bad earth connection. Adjust the earth cable for a better connection.
Insufcient gas ow. Adjust the gas ow.
No gas ow at the end of the torch. Bad gas connection.
Check the gas connection at the welding
machine. Check the owmeter and the solenoid
valves.
