DESCRIPTION

 

METAL  MAN  FC135T  115  volt  input,  135  amp  AC  output  flux  core  only  wire  feed  welders  is 

economical  and  easy  to  use.  It  requires  no  shielding  gas  and  welds  8  gauge  to  3/16"  mild  steel 

materials with .030" or .035" flux core wires on 4" or 8" spools. This unit features 2 voltage ranges, a 

set up chart, a cooling fan, trigger activated arc, overload protection, 8-1/2 ft torch with Tweco style 

series 11 replacement parts and 6 ft ground cable and clamp.   

The FC135T is ideal for use when 

welding mild steel 18 gauge to 3/16” for light industrial applications (

FOR USE WITH FLUX CORE 

WIRE ONLY

). 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

O

N/OFF Switch 

In the “OFF” position no power is being supplied to the torch.    In the “ON” position power is 
supplied to the main transformer and control circuit. 

Voltage Setting 

 

1-

2 switch is on the front panel of machine. There are two voltage settings. Refer to the “set up” 

chart inside the wire feed compartment for initial adjustment settings. 

Wire Speed Control 

Adjustment of the wire feed speed (amperage). 

Ground Cable and Clamp 

The ground cable and clamp are attached to the work piece to complete the circuit allowing the flow 

of current needed to weld.
