4T/2T Trigger Control Switch (Ref. 14)

 – This switch controls the trigger mode 

for the MIG torch trigger. 2T mode the trigger is pulled and held on to activate 
the welding circuit, when the trigger is released, the welding circuit stops.  
4T is known as ’latching’ mode. The trigger is pulled once and released to 
activate the welding circuit, pulled and released again to stops the welding 
circuit. This function is useful to longer welds as the trigger is not required to 
be held continuously. 

LIFT TIG Mode Switch (Ref. 13)

 – Lift TIG is an arc ignition system for TIG 

welding that removes the need to ‘scratch’ start or strike the tungsten on the 
work piece to start the arc, which can have a negative effect on the weld 
quality from tungsten contamination. Lift arc starting works by gently touching 
the tungsten on the work piece and then lifting it off. The control circuit will 
sense when the tungsten is removed from the work piece and send a pulse of 
electricity through the torch that will cause the TIG arc to initiate.

Wire Feed (Inching) Switch (Ref. 15)

 – Depressing this button will cause the 

wire feeder to run at maximum speed without the welding power circuit to be 
activated. This is a safe and helpful function for loading wire through the torch 
cable prior to welding or when replacing the wire spool.

36V AC Auxiliary Power Supply (Ref. 20)

 – May be used to power accessories 

that require 36V AC power supply such as 36V heated CO2 regulator (optional 
accessory).

CONSUMABLES & ACCESSORIES 

It is very important to recognise that welding torch consumables wear as part 
of normal operation and should be replaced in a timely manner. Operating a 
torch with worn consumables will cause poor welding results and possible 
damage to the torch and machine itself.

MIG WELDING SET UP & OPERATION

 

DANGER

 Before adjusting the feed roller or wire spool, ensure that the 

mains power is switched off.

1. Fitting Wire Spool

Open the wire spool cover. Unthread the wire spool retainer. Fit the wire spool

to spool holder shaft, ensuring that the wire exits towards the bottom.

Set the spool brake tension by adjusting the spool tension adjustment nut 
before replacing the wire spool retainer. The spool brake tension should be 
set so that the spool can rotate freely, but does not continue to rotate once 
the wire feed stops. This may need to be adjusted as the wire is used and the spool 
weight decreases.

CAUTION:

 Excessive spool brake tension will cause wire feeding issues and affect 

welding performance as well as contribute to premature failure/ wear of wire feed 
components.

Feed the wire from the spool through the Wire Drive Inlet Guide (24) into the 
wire feeder.

Release the Wire Feed Tension Arms (25) by pivoting the Wire Feed Tension 
Adjustment Lever (26) from the vertical to the horizontal position. 

Check that the groove type of the Wire Drive Rollers (27) match the selected 
MIG wire type and size. Each pair of drive rollers have two different sized grooves; 
the size of the groove in use is stamped on the side of the drive roller.
