Welding in MIG STD (Manual) Mode with SPOOL GUN
1
Connect the MIG SPOOL Torch to machine, connect earth lead to machine & work piece.
2
Fit wire reel to spool gun and ensure tip is correct for wire size.
3
Connect welding gas and set flow to approx. 12-14 LPM – For aluminum welding you require 100% pure argon.
4
Set the machine mode to MIG STD (No. 7 front panel)
5
Select SPOOL operation. (No. 15 front panel)
6
Use the forward and back buttons (No. 9 & 10 front panel) to select any parameters you wish to change then use the
control knob to adjust as required (No. 18 front panel)
Pre-flow gas - Set at 0.1s for most jobs, if longer gas purge is required set accordingly.
MIG wire speed – adjust with control knob (No. 18 front panel) and speed will be shown in display 2
MIG volts - adjust with control knob (No. 18 front panel) and speed will be shown in display 1
Post flow gas – For most MIG welding along post flow gas is not required.
MIG burn back – This is time power/gas stays on after trigger released – this will burn wire back towards tip.
MIG inductance – low setting softer arc with low splatter , high setting harsher arc with deeper penetration.
We suggest setting in middle for most jobs.
Welding operation
Once you have set the machine up as per above instructions press the torch trigger to start welding, gas will flow from the torch
and main welding power will start and wire feed will start and once wire has touched work piece welding will start, to stop
welding release torch trigger.
Adjust the wire feed speed to give the desired weld characteristics
More wire / Less voltage = Dip transfer
Less wire / More voltage = Spray transfer
