Notes
• Use Industry standard - copper coated ER70S-6 Steel
MIG Wire. This requires a shielding gas (CO2 or argon/
CO2 mix),excellent results on panel steel.
• Use Industry standard flux cored ER71T-GS Steel MIG
Wire. This does not require a shielding gas.
• Suitable for outside use where gas shield can be blown
away or not available.
• Suitable for seldom use or when bottle hire is not
practical or too costly for small jobs and infrequent use.
• Great on galvanised materials
• Not suitable for panel steel
• Leaves chalky residue. This is normal.
• Produces smoke and splatters.
It is important that correct drive roller is used
to get the best results.
“V” groove Roller. Roller has a small V shaped groove
to guide the wire.
“V Knurled” roller (assists in gripping as wire is soft)
“U” groove Roller (assist in gripping as wire is softest)
Machine can be used in both DC + and DC - modes
“-” earth
“+” earth
3m only for push torch, Teflon liner, “U” groove roller, alloy
tips or one size larger, argon shielding wire
HELPFUL INFORMATION
OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT
•
Height above sea level ≤1000m
•
Operation temperature range -10°C ~ +40°C
•
Air relative humidity is below 90%( 20°C)
•
Preferably sit the machine above floor level,
ensure the maximum angle does not exceed 15 degrees.
•
Protect the machine against heavy rain and against direct sunshine.
•
The content of dust, acid, corrosive gas in the surrounding air or substance
must not exceed normal standards.
•
Take care that there is sufficient ventilation during welding.
There must be at least 30cm free distance between the machine and wall.
