Section 2 - OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

10. 2 STEP/4 STEP TRIGGER OPERATION –

 A two position 

toggle switch located on the REDI-MIG

®

 4s provides two modes 

of operation of the gun trigger. In 2 step mode, the gun trigger is 
pressed to start welding and released to stop.

In the 4 step mode, pressing the gun trigger only operates the 
gas solenoid, allowing shielding gas to flow. Releasing the gun 
trigger activates the contactor which starts the wire feed motor 
and connects welding current to the wire so that welding may 
commence. To stop welding, the trigger must again be operated; 
pressing it stops the wire feed, activates the burn back time 
delay and opens the contactor after the pre-set burn back time. 
Releasing the trigger stops the gas flow.

To recommence welding, the above cycle must be repeated.

11. Output Terminals  –

 Dinse connection  used to connect  

electrode cable and  work return lead. 

FOR OUT POLARITY CONNECTION REFER TO SECTION 1.5

12. CONTROL CABLE OUTPUT CONNECTION - 

The control 

cable connects to the output connection plug on the front of the 
REDI-MIG

®

 250s & 325s separate power source, between the 

output terminals. The control cable is used to connect the 4s 
wire feeder.

BURNBACK CONTROL –

 This control is located in the wire 

feed bay. The burnback control adjusts the time period from 
when the drive motor stops until the power source and gas 
solenoid are switched off (approximately 0.1 seconds when fully 
anti-clockwise to 1.1 seconds when adjusted fully clockwise).

The prupose of the burnback control is to prevent the electrode 
wire sticking in the weld crater at the finish of the weld.
Adjustable burnback control is standard on the REDI-MIG

® 

250s, 

325c & 325s. The REDI-MIG

®

 210c & 250c have a built-in preset 

burnback.
