Welding in MIG /MAG Mode
1
Connect the MIG Torch to machine, connect earth lead to machine & work piece.
2
Set the TIG/MMA/MIG switch to MIG
3
Select 2/4 way torch operation
4
Set Gas post flow to 1 Seconds, for special applications this can be set to max 10 seconds.
5
Select desired welding voltage
6
Select desired wire feed speed
Adjust wire feed speed to suit voltage/wire diameter chosen.
Wire reel holder - remove retainer screw cap and fit wire reel and refit securing screw cap. The reel holder features
an internal adjustable braking system so that reel of wire stops quickly when the torch trigger released, otherwise
the wire reel would continue for a few seconds causing wire to come off the sides.
Wire feed assembly - make sure the rollers are the correct size for the wire diameter selected. To change the
rollers release the retaining knurled head screw and fit the rollers onto the shafts making sure the right size groove
is in line with the wire and refit retaining screws. Do not over tighten the wire feed pressure rollers as this can
cause premature motor and roller failure. TIP: Correct way to adjust tensioner is to slacken off pressure so that the
wire does not feed, slowly adjust pressure until wire feeds smoothly, you should be able to stop wire feeding by
holding wire and it should slip on rollers. If you have too little pressure the wire will slip when welding causing
unwanted burn back into tips, if you have too much pressure wire can snag in rollers when wire hits work and
cause wire tangle by rollers.
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
Welding in TIG mode - No remote foot pedal
1
Connect the TIG torch and earth lead to machine & work piece.
2
Set the TIG/MMA/MIG switch to TIG
3
Select 2 or 4 way torch operation
4
Connect Argon gas and set flow to approx 8-12 LPM
5
Set Gas post flow to 6 - 10 Seconds, higher amperage requires more post flow.
6
Adjust current to desired welding current
7
Press the TIG torch switch to start welding
