1. Connect the earth cable quick connector to the negative
welding power output socket.
2. Connect the earth clamp to the work piece ensuring
the clamp to workpiece connection is with clean
bare metal, without corrosion, paint or scale at the
connection point.
3. Connect the torch power cable quick connector to the
positive (+) output socket.
NOTE:
If this connection is not made. There will be no
electrical connection or output to the welding torch.
4. Fit the Spool Gun Torch to the Euro Adaptor connector
and screw hand tight.
5. Fit the correct sized Contact Tip for the welding wire
size and type being used.
6. Select a suitable synergic MIG programme which
contains the correct wire size and shielding gas settings
for your work piece. Alternately select Programme
Zero to enter Mig Manual Mode and adjust settings
and parameters as required.
7. Connect the spool gun interface plug to the 9-pin spool
gun connector on the front face of the power source
just below the TIG gas outlet.
8. Press the Function button and then rotate the LH
MIG voltage knob until ‘SPo OFF’ is displayed. Rotate
the RH knob until ‘SPo ON’ is displayed and the spool
gun active light is lit. Pressing the function
key again will confirm this selection and return you to

10. Connect the machine to suitable mains power using
the mains input power lead. Switch the mains power
to ON to power up the machine.
11. Lower the torch to the work piece with one hand and
approach the workpiece with the torch tip at 15-35
degrees and pull the torch trigger fully. As the wire
touches the workpiece, an arc will be struck.
12. In order to gain a satisfactory weld, the welding
parameters may be fine tuned as required.
Care & Maintenance
Keep your Welding Machine in Top Condition
The ADVANCEMIG 250 does not require any special
maintenance, however the user should take care of
the machine as follows:
• Regularly clean the ventilation slots.
• Keep the casing clean.
• Check all cables before use.
• Check electrode holders, work lead/clamps and
welding torches before use.
• Replace worn electrode holders and earth
clamps, which do not provide a good
connection.
• Replace worn consumable parts in a timely
manner.
• Use a soft cloth or brush to clean electrical
components.
• Do not use liquid cleaning products, water or
especially solvents.
• Do not use compressed air to clean electrical
components as this can force dirt and dust
further into components, causing electrical short
circuits.
• Check for damaged parts. Do not use the welder
with damaged parts.
• A damaged welder must be carefully checked by
a qualified person to determine that it will operate
properly. Check for breakage of parts, mountings
and other conditions that may affect its operation.
An authorised service centre should properly
repair a damaged part. Have your welder repaired
by an expert.
This appliance is manufactured in accordance with
relevant safety standards. Only experts must carry
