Introduction
Thank you for choosing to purchase this quality product. To minimise the risk of injury, we ask you to
always take some basic safety precautions when using this product. Please read this operating manual
carefully and make sure that you understand it.
Keep these operation instructions in a safe place.
Initiation
The MIG welder is suitable both for hobby and professional applications. Before using the welder or
performing maintenance work, read the user’s manual and keep it in a safe place for future reference.
The welder is small, efficient, and very light. It is easy to carry, no need to use a shoulder strap. The
device is also suitable for generator-supplied use on construction sites. The welding voltage and wire
feed speed are adjusted with the help of a regulation and corresponding to the thickness of the sheet to
be welded. Thus, the regulation of correct parameters is easy. The length of the arc or welding heat is
adjusted via a second regulation and does normally not need to be readjusted with a thicker or thinner
sheet used as soon as you have found the correct values.
The welding properties of the machine are best with a steel wire of 0.8
mm of diameter. Nevertheless,
you can also use 0.6
mm, 0.9
mm, or 1
mm solid or welding wires.
Note:
The device is only suitable for welding with steel wire.
On welding
•
The welding results not only depend on the individual welding machine, but also on the work-
piece and work environment. Therefore, all instructions of this user’s manual must be followed.
•
During welding, electric current is led to the welding wire and workpiece via the welding nozzle.
A mass cable attached to the workpiece leads the current back to the device, thus creating a
closed circuit. The current flows freely when the mass clamp is correctly attached to the work-
piece and the contact surface of the workpiece is clean and free of paint and rust.
•
For welding, the user must apply shielding gas to prevent air from mixing with the weld pool.
Carbon dioxide or a mixture of carbon dioxide and argon is suitable for use as shiedling gas.
Some welding wires form shielding gas themselves generated during melting of the wire filling;
in that case, additional shielding gas is not required.
Safety instructions
This device is safe in application thanks to its not leading plastic cover. The welding gun is equiped with
a overhitting protection that avoids that the machine overhits during operation. The device is protected
both from too low and too high a supply voltage. Nevertheless, some risks persists when welding. There-
fore, carefully read and follow the following safety instructions.
Using safety equipment
The arc and its radiation reflected are harmful to unprotected eyes. Always protect your eyes and face
with a suitable welding mask. The arc and weld spatters burn unprotected skin; so, do wear protective
gloves and clothing while welding.
Using the welding gun safely
•
Parts of the device, e.g., the end of the welding wire and the welding gun, become hot during
operation. The wire being sharp and moving quickly, pay special attention while you thread it.
