1. POWER SWITCH

 

 

Turns power on and off with built-in 

indicator light.

2. OVER TEMPERATURE LIGHT –

 

Indicates when exceeding 

duty cycle i.e. based on 10 minute time period for 60% duty 
cycle, if actual welding time exceeds 6 minutes the light will 
come on. The input power remains on keeping the cooling fan 
operative. 

3. WIRE FEED SPEED CONTROL (WFS) – 

Use this control to 

adjust the speed at which the wire feeds when welding. This 
is in effect a current control as the power source will deliver 
the current necessary to melt the wire. The higher the speed, 
the more current will be required. Wire feed speed range is 
approximately 1 to 20 m/min.

Operation of the gun trigger switches the wire feed motor on 
and off. The wire feed motor is dynamically braked to minimise 
wire over run after welding has ceased.

4. TORCH CONNECTION – 

Euro torch connection

5 & 6. ARC VOLTAGE CONTROL –

 The output voltage is 

controlled by rotary switch. The REDI-MIG

®

 210c, 250c & 250s 

have a single switch that provides the user with 8 voltage 
settings. The REDI-MIG

®

 325c & 325s have a 4 position coarse 

and 8 position fine voltage selection, allowing the user to select 
up to 32 welding voltages.

The approximate weld voltages for the rotary switch postions for 
the  210c,  250c  and  250s  are  below  left.  Data  for  the  325c  and 
325s are below right.

WARNING

ELECTRIC 

SHOCK 

can kill

FUMES AND 

GASES can be 

dangerous

WELDING SPARKS 
can cause fire or 

explosion

•  Do  not  touch  electrically  live 

parts  or  electrode  with  skin  or 
wet clothing.

•  Insulate  yourself  from  work 

and ground.

•  Always  wear  dry  insulating 

gloves.

•  Keep your head out of fumes.

•  Use  ventilation  or  exhaust  to 

remove  fumes  from  breathing 
zone.

•  Keep 

flammable 

material 

away.

•  Do  not  weld  upon  containers 

which  have  held  combusti-
bles.

•  Wear  eye,  ear  and  body 

 

protection.

ARC RAYS 

can burn

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE:

 In 2T mode {refer point 10 below}, this DC 

Constant  Voltage  wire  welder  provides  “COLD”  electrode  when  the  gun 
trigger is not operated.  Conversely, the output terminals are “LIVE” when 
the  gun  trigger  is  “activated”  when  pressed  in  2T  mode,  or  triggered  on 
in 4T mode.
