MIG 140 INVERTER WELDER 058-9305-6

Installing the wire:

Refer the below chart for wire selection based on type of welding:

Note: MIG wire can be either mild steel,
stainless steel, or aluminium solid wire.

Note: This welder cannot weld metals thinner
than 24 gauge.

WARNING!

Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.

•

Always switch off the power and unplug the power cord from the AC power
source before installing the wire.

•

Remove the wire or wire spool that is rusty.

•

This welding unit is not designed to weld work pieces thinner than 24 gauge.
Doing so may burn the work piece.

•

Before installing, remove the old wire from the MIG gun assembly to prevent
the wire from being jammed inside the gun liner.

•

Do not remove the welding nozzle when the MIG gun trigger is pulled, as
doing so may cause electric shock. Turn the power supply OFF before
removing it.
