OPERATION
-
STANDARD MIG
Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and
protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding
area.
MIG/MAG standard welding mode
Wire feed speed control
Control dial (B) is a rotary encoder and when rotated in standard
MIG mode gives the operator the ability to control wire feed
speed.
Rotating the control dial clockwise increases wire feed speed
(increasing welding current) while rotating the dial anticlockwise
will decrease the wire feed speed ultimately reducing welding
current and the wire feed rate is precisely shown in the display
area (as shown right).
(The wire feed speed range is 2 ~ 16 m/min).
MIG voltage control
Control dial (C) is a rotary encoder and when rotated in standard
MIG mode gives the operator the ability to control the welding voltage.
Rotating the control dial clockwise increases welding voltage while rotating the dial anticlockwise will
decrease the welding voltage and welding voltage is precisely shown in the display area (as shown right).
(The welding voltage range is 11 ~ 28 volts).
Channel (memory) Storage, Recall or Delete
To select memory save or recall options settings, rotate the central control dial (A) until the –M icon is
highlighted green then press the central dial button to select memory option mode where the operator
can select a saved welding job or save a welding job to and from the Memory function screen.
Once in the memory page, you will note there are 4 memory slots to Select "M1", "M2", "M3" and "M4"
and if a welding job was saved to any of the 4 welding slots you will also note that the previous saved
welding parameters are displayed when you view the selected memory slot.
Rotating and pressing the control dial on the desired memory slot will then take you to the specific
memory slot option page where you have three options of: “Save", “Load” or “Delete”.
Selecting your desired option is carried out by rotating the control dial and (for example) pressing the
“Load” option recall the saved welding parameters and load said program.
Pressing the back button will take you to the recalled welding screen where you can then commence
your welding procedure. (See page 30 for further details).
Gas Purge/Check and Wire Inch function
To select the inch and gas purge screen, rotate the central control dial (A) until icon
is highlighted
green then press the central dial button to select inch or gas check mode function screen.
To access "Wire Inch" or "Gas Check" function rotate and press the central control dial (A). When starting
wire inch or gas check, the LCD screen will display the inching & feed speed and the gas check animation.
To use the "Gas check/purge" function, press the central control dial and release and gas purging will
start, press it again to stop the gas flow.
To use the "Inch" function, the central control dial is pressed and hold, if the dial is released, the wire
feed motor will stop.
