  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS….cont 

 

Clean the area to be welded, and the earthing point of all rust, paint and con-
taminants etc. 

 

Place the earth clamp on to a cleaned area of the work piece. 

  PREPARATION FOR WELDING 

 

Use the main On/Off switch on the rear of the welder to turn it on. 

 

Select MIG symbol on the front panel. 

 

Select MAN. 

 

Select gas type; CO2 or MIX (Argon & CO2) 

 

Select wire size; 0.8mm, 1.0mm or 1.2mm 

 

Set the Weld Voltage, Wire Speed (Current Control), and the inductance by turn-
ing the appropriate controls.  

 

Press the torch trigger and feed the wire out a little. 

 

Cut the wire about 3mm from the MIG contact tip. 

 

Turn the gas on . 

 

Place a welding mask/shield over your face (not supplied).  

  WELDING—Manual MIG 

Note: If the welder has a humming sound and a blob forms on the tip end, then you have insufficient wire 
feed speed and it should be increased. If the welder has an erratic sound and the torch feels that the wire is 
hitting against the work, then you have the wire feed speed to high and it should be reduced, when the wire 
feed speed is correct you should get a steady crackling sound. 

Note: 

For future reference make a note of the voltage and wire speed set-

ting for the material that has been welded. 

  WELDING—Synergic MIG 

 

 

Select SYN. 

 

Select gas type; CO2 or MIX (Argon & CO2) 

 

Select wire size; 0.8mm, 1.0mm or 1.2mm 

 

Set the Weld Voltage, Wire Speed (Current Control), and the inductance by turn-
ing the appropriate controls.  

 

Perform  a  weld  test  until  you  are  happy  with  the  welding  condition  selected. 
There is no need to adjust the “Weld Voltage” knob again. 

 

By turning the “Weld Current” knob the welding power and wire feed will auto-
matically  adjust  together.  This  enables  the  power  range  to  be  adjusted  quickly 
making it versatile for jobs requiring several power settings. 

 

NOTE:- Adjustments CANNOT be made during welding.
