Welcome to a better way of welding

Congratulations on puchasing the Raptor

 

160 MIG welding machine.

The products in BOC's manual MIG range perform with reliability and have the 

backing of one of South Pacific's leading welding suppliers. 

This operating manual provides the basic knowledge required for MP welding, 

as well as highlighting important areas of how to operate the Raptor machine.

With normal use, and by following these recommended steps, your 

Raptor machine can provide you with years of trouble-free service.
Raptor equipment and technical support is available through the national 

BOC Customer Engagement Centre or contact your local Gas & Gear outlet.
