INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Welder. The IMIG100NG inverter welder is
for light duty manual arc welding only. It has been designed specifically for
continuous welding of carbon or mild steels up to 4mm without protective gas
using appropriate 0.9mm flux cored electrode wire. The welder is designed for
domestic use only and not intended for commercial or trade use.
Before attempting to operate the machine, it is essential that you read this
manual thoroughly and carefully follow all instructions given. In doing so you
will ensure the safety of yourself and that of others around you, and you can
also look forward to the welder giving you long and satisfactory service.
MIG WELDING PRINCIPLES
MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding allows you to fuse together two similar metals
without altering the properties of the metal.
A consumable wire electrode is continuously fed through the welding torch
that is fitted with a concentric gas nozzle. The wire is connected to a high
voltage supply which creates an electric arc between the electrode (the
wire) and the workpiece. The arc is used to create the required heat to turn
the metal into a molten state. The wire is used as both the electrode and as a
filler.
When using a gasless welder the shielding gas is created from the flux within
the welding wire.
When using the welder outside, you may need to erect a wind break.
