MAKING A WELD WITH THE SPOOL GUN
ADAPTER KIT AND SPOOL GUN
INSTALLED
In either toggle switch position, closing either gun
trigger will cause the electrode of both guns to be
electrically “HOT”. Be sure unused gun is posi-
tioned so electrode or tip will not contact metal
case or other metal common to work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Setting the toggle switch to “Push Gun” position
disables the spool gun operation and spool gun
gas solenoid valve. Closing the gun trigger enables
the push gun welding and both electrodes will be
electrically “HOT”.
2. Setting the toggle switch to the “Spool Gun” posi-
tion disables the built-in push gun operation and
feeder gas solenoid valve. It will also enables the
spool gun operation and spool gun gas solenoid
valve. Closing the spool gun trigger enables spool
gun welding and both electrodes will be electrically
“HOT”.
3. Operation with POWER MIG® 216:
•
Turn the POWER MIG® 216 input power ON.
•
Adjusting the voltage tap control will increase or
decrease your welding voltage.
•
Adjusting the wire speed control on the spool
gun will increase or decrease the spool gun
wire feed speed.
NOTE:
Adjusting the wire feed speed control on the
Machine
ʼ
s Front Panel has no affect on the spool
gun
ʼ
s wire feed speed.
4. Refer to the welding procedure on the machine or
Section F
of this Instruction Manual for initial alu-
minum settings. Make a test weld to determine the
final settings.
5. Set the spool gun selector switch to “Push Gun”
position to return to push gun operation.
