- Check the inscription on the roller to ensure that the rollers are suitable for the wire diameter and
the wire material (for a Ø 1.2 wire, use the Ø 1.2 groove).
- Use V-grooved rollers for steel and other hard wires.
- Use U-grooved rollers for aluminium and other soft, alloyed wires.

Notes:
- Too narrow a sheath can lead to unreeling issues and can lead to the overheating of the motor.
- The torch connection must also be properly tightened to prevent it from overheating.
- Ensure that neither the wire, nor the reel, touches the device's mechanism, otherwise there is a danger of short-circuiting the ma-
chine.
RISK OF INJURY FROM MOVING COMPONENTS
The reels have moving parts that can trap hands, hair, clothing or tools causing injuries!
- Do not touch rotating, moving or driving parts of the machine!
- Ensure that the housing covers or protective covers remain fully closed when in operation!
- Do not wear gloves when threading the filler wire or changing the filler wire reel.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC STEEL/STAINLESS STEEL WELDING (MAG MODE)
CARPULSE can weld steel wire from Ø 0.6 to 1.2 mm and stainless steel from Ø 0.8 to 1.2 mm (II-A).
The device is supplied as standard with rollers Ø 0.6/0.8 and Ø 0.8/1.0 for steel or stainless steel. The contact tube, the roller groove, the torch
sheath are designed for this application.
Welding steel requires a specific gas (Ar+CO2). The proportion of CO2 may vary depending on the gas used. For stainless steel, use a mixture
with 2% CO2. When welding with pure CO2, it is necessary to connect a gas preheating device to the gas cylinder. For specific gas requirements,
please enquire with your gas distributor. The gas flow rate for steel is between 8 and 15 litres / minute depending on the environment. Synergies
in Pulse mode are optimized for a gas flow between 12 and 15 liters / minute. To measure the gas flow at the flare outlet, you can use the optional
flowmeter (ref. 053939).

Translation of the original
instructions
Open the power source's hatch.
- Position the reel on its holder.
- Take into consideration the reel stands's drive lug (c). To fit a 200 mm reel, tighten the
plastic reel holder (a) to the maximum.
c
b - Adjust the brake wheel (b) to prevent the non-moving spool from tangling the wire when
the welding stops. In general, do not overtighten, as this will cause the motor to overheat.
To change the rollers, do the following:
- Loosen the knobs (a) to the maximum and lower them.
- Unlock the rollers by loosening the retaining screws (b).
- Insert the correct motor rollers for your application and tighten the retaining screws.
The rollers supplied are double groove rollers:
- alu Ø 1.0/1.2 (M1 + M2 + M3)
- steel Ø 0.8/1.0 (M2 + M3)
- steel Ø 0.6/0.8 (M3)
Do the following to install the filler wire:
- Loosen the dials to the maximum and lower them.
- Insert the wire, then close the motor reel and tighten the dials as shown.
- Operate the motor using the torch trigger or the manual wire feed button (I-9).
