Feed rolls and wire guide tubes have colour codes in order to simplify identification (see table on page 4).
On delivery, the Kempomat 2001 is equipped with white feed rolls with plain groove and with white wire guide tubes
for welding filler wires of 0.6 and 0.8 mm (0.030"). Kempomat 2501 is equipped with red feed rolls with plain groove
and orange wire guide tubes for welding filler wires of 0.9-1.2 mm (0.035", 0.045" and 0.052").
Feed roll with plain groove:
Universal feed roll for welding of all kinds of wires
Feed rolls with knurled groove:
Special feed roll for cored wires and steel wires
Feed rolls with U groove:
Special feed roll for aluminium wires
Wire feed rolls have two grooves for different filler wire
diameters. Correct wire groove is selected by moving
the selection washer from one side to the other in the
feed roll.
Mounting of MIG welding gun
In order to ensure problem-free welding, check the operation instructions of the gun that wire guide tube and
contact tip of gun are in accordance with the manufacturer´s recommendation, and suitable to be used for wire feed
diameter and type in question. An overly tight wire guide tube could cause excessive stress on the wire feed unit,
resulting in disturbances in wire feed.
Screw snap connector of gun tightly, to avoid voltage losses on connecting surface. Aloose connection
will heat gun and wire feeder unit. Check after tightening, that guide tube inside connector is not in contact
with feed rolls.
Mounting and locking of wire reel
Release locking nails of wire reel hub by turning lock-
ing knob to the position OPEN.
Mount the reel at its place. Note rotating direction of reel!
LOCKED OPEN
Turn the locking knob to the position LOCKED.
Check filler wire reel for no protruding parts, which could e.g. chaff against chassis or door of wire feeder unit.
Dragging parts could expose chassis of wire feeder unit under voltage.
Automatic wire feed to gun
Automatic wire feed makes change of wire reel quicker. In reel change, the pressure of feed rolls need not be
released and filler wire goes automatically to correct wire line.
Make sure that the groove of feed roll matches the diameter of welding wire used. Feed roll groove is selected
by moving the groove selection washer.
8 / 1921710E / 0040
Release the wire end from the reel and cut off the bent length. Be careful that the wire does not spill from the
reel to the sides!
Straighten approximately 20 cm of the wire and ensure that the end of it has no sharp edges. If they occur, file
these off. A sharp edge may damage the wire guide tube and contact tip of the welding gun.
Draw a piece of loose wire from wire reel. Feed wire through back liner to feed rolls. Do not release the pressure
of the feed rolls!
Press the gun switch or wire inch switch and feed a
piece of wire through feed rolls to the gun. Ensure
that wire is in the grooves of both feed rolls!
Continue to hold down the switch until the wire has
groove selecting washer
Automatic feed may sometimes fail with thin wires (Fe, Ss: 0,6...0,8 mm, Al, Fc: 0,8...1,0 mm). In this case, you
must open feed rolls and feed the wire through manually.
come through the contact tip.
Adjustment of pressure
Adjust the pressure of the feed rolls with the control screw, so that the wire is fed into the wire guide tube evenly,
and allows a little braking when coming out from the contact tip, without slipping at the feed rolls.
Excessive pressure causes flattening of the filler wire and damage to the coating. It also causes friction and
undue wear of the feed rolls.
Adjustment of tightness of wire reel brake
Brake force is adjusted through a hole in the locking device of reel hub by tightening/loosening the adjustment
screw with a screwdriver.
Adjust the brake force as so big that the wire does not
spill from the full reel when the rotation of the reel stops.
adjustment screw
Make sure that the welding gun is designed for maximum welding current! Never use a damaged welding gun!
The need for brake force is increased with wire feed speed.
Standard accessory: 200 mm wire reel adaptor
English
Return current cable
Fasten earth clamp of return current cable carefully, preferably direct to welding piece. Contact surface of the clamp
always should be as large as possible.
Clean the fastening surface from paint and rust!
Use in your Kempoweld equipment copper cables. Too small cross-sectional area might cause overheating of
connectors and insulations. Make sure that the welding gun is designed for maximum welding current! Never use a
damaged welding gun!
Shielding gas
As MIG shielding gas uses carbon dioxide, mixed gases and argon. Shielding gas flow rate is defined by welding
current size. The typical rate of gas in welding of steel is 8-15 l / min.
Gas flow regulator
Gas flow regulator should be suitable for shielding gas. The regulator used may be different to the one in picture.
However, following general instructions are valid for all pressure regulators.
Before mounting of flow regulator
Step aside and open cylinder valve (51). This way
you can blow out any dirt that may be in the valve of
bottle.
Turn the press regulation screw (52) of the regulator
outwards until no spring pressure can be felt (screw
is turning freely).
Close needle valve (53) if there is one in the regulator.
Connect regulator onto valve of bottle
Tighten connecting nut (54), preferably with a wrench.
Attach hose spindle (55) of regulator with jacket nuts
(56) onto the. Connection should be ensured with a
hose clamp (57).
Connect the hose onto the regulator and machine,
and tighten the jacket nuts.

Open valve of bottle slowly
The pressure meter (P1) shows the pressure of the bottle. Send the bottle for filling when the bottle pressure
reads 2 bar. Never use the whole contents of the bottle.
Open needle valve if there is one in the regulator.
Turn regulation screw (52) inwards until hose pressure meter (P2) shows flow (or pressure) required. For regula-
tion of flow amount, the machine must be in operation, and the gun switch should be pressed in simultaniously.
Close valve of bottle after welding has stopped
If the machine will be out of use for a long period of time, you should unscrew the pressure regulation screw (52).
Gas bottle
The gas bottle may explode if it falls!
Always fasten the gas bottle firmly in vertical position, to a wall stand or bottle cart, specially designed for it!
For safety reasons always remove the gas bottle from the transport stand of the machine before lifting or car
transport of machine!
Operation and use of power source
See the Main parts.
Main switch
English
In the zero position all control and welding current circuits of the equipment are dead (without voltage). In position I
the control circuits of the machine become live. The welding circuit is dead, if the welding mode has not been started
with the gun trigger.
Always switch the machine on and off from the main switch. Never use the mains plug for turning the units
on and off!

NOTE ! Table values are measured with rated supply
voltage 240 V.
The welding voltage is adjusted with two turn switches. There is the switch for coarse control, where voltage value
of each step can be fine-adjusted with the second switch.
2 / 3 22,9 V4 / 3 38,7 V
2 / 4 24,1 V4 / 4 42,3 V
Pilot lamps
Pilot lamps of the machine report about electric function:
The white pilot lamp is illuminated in position I, indicating that the machine is connected to mains voltage.
The yellow pilot lamp is illuminated, when thermal protection of the machine has been released due to overheating.
The protection releases if the power source is continuously loaded over rated values or the cooling air circulation
has been obstructed.
The cooling fan cools down the machine and after the pilot lamp has switched off. The machine is again ready for
welding from the gun trigger.
Control fuse
On the rear plate of the power source, the control fuse 8 A delayed is the short-circuit protection. Use the fuse size
and type according to markings. Damage caused by the wrong type fuse is not covered by the guarantee.
Adjustment for arc force I , II
Arc force is set by connecting the return current cable to one of the two dix-connectors on the front plate.
The connector marked with symbol I gives a rougher arc, which is used for welding of thin sheets and ferrous
metals by lower currents. Especially consider CO2 shielding gas.
The connector marked with symbol II is suitable for greater currents and especially for aluminium and stainless
materials. The most suitable force is, however, most dependent on the welding case. You will find the best results by
testing the different positions.
10 / 1921710E / 0040
Operation of cooling fan
The Kempomat 2001 has one cooling fan and the Kempomat 2501 has two cooling fans. The cooling fun is started
and stopped according to use of machine. The cooling fan is started after ca. 30 s after weld start and stopped after
ca. 5 - 7 min after weld end or release of the thermal protection.
Note! The fan is taking in air from rear plate side!
Don´t switch off the unit with the main switch before the cooling fan has automatically stopped. By open
circuit the cooling fan does not start.
Control panels and adjustments
Wire feed speed potentiometer
The wire feed speed is adjusted with the potentiometer on the front panel, see the paragraph Wire feed panel.
Burn back time
Different filler materials and shielding gases behave in different ways in completion of welding, so the welding
current should be switched with delay suitable, according to the welding case.
If you try to cease welding with an unsuitable burn back time, the wire will burn in the contact tip, there will be too
large an amount of wire at the wire end, or the wire will stick at the stopping point.
Factors influencing on the delay:
The wire feed speed has a significant influence on required burn back time. For low wire feed speeds
always select the short burn back time.

Wire inch
The wire inch starts the wire feed motor and mechanism, but not the power source.
The filler wire can be driven to the feeder unit and gun also with the welding gun´s switch, but the power source will
start and the wire becomes live, and this can cause a dangerous situation by accidental contact with surrounding
objects!
Within the instruction label, starting points for adjustment
are given. The fine-adjustment should be carried out according to each case in question.
1. Melting of aluminium is much quicker than by the
other material, so that the burn back time is shorter.
2. Steel and especially filler wires require a longer time
than stainless materials.
3. Thicker filler wires require more time. Also, by the increase of wire feed speed, the required time should be
increased.
4. Memory scale for potentiometer.

English
KMW timer
The standard control includes the welding with the closed-open operation of the gun trigger, this is called the
2-sequence procedure. The KMW timer also has the 4-sequence procedure, with which you can release the trigger
for the duration of the welding, as well as the wire feed timer, which helps to control the spot or cycle arc welding.
