I/ SAFETY STANDARDS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
GENERALITIES
1- Before disassembling the product’s body, plug out the lead cable.
2- The operators must have the appropriate qualification.
3- The operations of servicing can only be controlled by qualified technicians.
4- The operator is responsible for respect of the car manufacturers’ recommendations, concerning the protection of
electrical and electronic procedures (car computer, car radio, alarm, air bag, etc…)
5- It is necessary to make a regular preventive maintenance.
ELECTRICITY
1- Check that the unity must be connected to the earth coupler and that the connection to the earth is in good
condition.
2- Check that the workbench is connected to the earth coupler.
3- Make sure that the operator has no contact with the metal parts to the welded without any protection or wet
clothes.
4- Avoid being in contact with welding part.
5- Before controlling or repairing, please disconnect the unit directly to the level of the plug.
PROTECTION OF EYES AND BODY
1-During the welding process, the operator must be protected from the eventual flashes of the electrical arc with
protection clothes like leather gloves, welding aprons, safety shoes, welding helmets or glasses for filtering radiations
and projections. As well during operations of rubbing and hammering, the operator must protect his eyes.
2-All the protection board must be in good condition and maintained in place.
Never look at an arc of welding without any protection of your eyes.
Protect the environment near the product against projections and reflections.
SMOKES AND GAZ
Welding operations can cause the emission of toxic smokes and harmful metallic dusts. Use the device in a sheltered
place equipped with smoke aspirators.
The operator must wear an anti smoke mask.
The welding material must be degreased and cleaned in order to limit the toxic gas during the welding process.
FIRE
1-Check that the sparks don’t cause fire especially near inflammable material.
2-Check that fire extinguishers are not too far from the operator.
3-Leave the product in a place with air movers.
4-Don’t weld neither on container of combustibles and lubricants, even empty, nor on containers with inflammable
material.
5-Don’t weld in an atmosphere full with inflammable gas or fuel steam.
ELECTRO-MAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Near the spot-welding, check:
- There is neither no other power supply cable nor control lines, nor phone cables, nor radio or TV reception appliances,
nor watches, nor mobile phones, nor magnetic cards, nor computers or any other electronic appliance.
- There are in the surroundings (minimum 3 meters of each point of the product) no persons using active medical
appliances (pacemakers, acoustic prosthetics).
Make supplementary protections if other products are used in the same environment.

VI / COMMISSIONING
5-2) Connection to gas bottle and gas choice
Screw down the regulator on gas bottle. This one is connected to MAGYS and GENEGYS by a pipe whose terminal end
is fixated on the electronic valve behind the machine. You must use clamps to avoid escape of gas.

MAGYS 263 and MAGYS 261
Application with the wire feeder of the generator
Application with a separated wire feeder type WF
Screw down the gas connection from moto generator
wire feeder on the gas connection
Screw off the pipe of moto generator wire feeder and screw
down bank connection by integrating the pipe in the front
side hole.
For GENEGYS 263 SF machine, the gas connection of the bank is uniquely made on front side.
Gas choice:
STEEL MORE OR LESS ALLOYED
- Pure CO2 (not much used),
- Argon + CO2 (universal gas, often used),
- Argon + CO2 + O2 (not much used).
STAINLESS STEEL
- Argon + CO2 (often used),
- Argon + H + CO2 +N (not much used).
ALUMINIUM
- Pure argon (often used),
- Argon + Hé (not much used).
5-3) Connection to earth cable
For an application with a wire in normal polarity, you must connect the adapter earth clamp on the negative terminal and
take care to swivel from a ¼ the adapter.
For an application with a thread « without gas », you have to connect the main clamp to the positive terminal.
5-4) Connection of the torch
All torches are with a euro connection, which can be adapted on GYS machines.
5-5) Setting of rollers
Choose those in function of the wire diameter used and the type of wire (See following board). MAGYS 263 and 261
machines are delivered with rollers double groove 0,8 / 1 for steel.

5-6) Setting of wire spool
Open the wire feeder compartment. Remove the swivel from the coil support. Take the coil and put it on the support
with taking care to block with base spin, then screw down again the swivel. For an application with a 5Kg coil (or
d=200), put the adapter between the support and the coil. For an application in steel wire place in position the capillary
tube
(for an application in aluminium see the paragraph VI).

Slump the wire in the moto wire feeder entrance. Release the clamping at maximum. Close the plate of the moto wire feeder.
Press on the gate and tighten little by little the clamping handle until the motor start to drive the wire.
.
5-7) Brake adjustment from the coil support
You must block this one in function of the weight coil used.
Too blocked: the motor is in difficulty and the thread risk not to drive.
Release: the important coil inertia can drive the wire rolling after end welding.
VI / USING IN ALUMINIUM
The setting of the torch for Aluminium is fundamental.
The essential precautions are the following:
- Don’t use the brass capillary tube in the euro adapter, but use the
Teflon envelope, which must come until the moto-wire feeder
roller.
- In ALUMINIUM, use a contact tube of a diameter immediately
superior to the section of the wire used.
- Use ALU rollers identical with wire diameter.
VII / OPTION FOR MAGYS 263 et 261
MAGYS 263 and 261 machines are evolutives terminals. For origin machine, we can uniquely use this one with the
moto wire feeder. Then, we can advanced the product with separated wire feeder with equipping it with a WF wire
feeder and a contact batch from 5 or 10 meters.
When the machine is totally equipped, the choice of the moto wire feeder will be in function of the commutator position
in foreside.
