SPOOL GUN SET-UP AND OPERATION
(Spool Gun Available Separately, Not Included)
SET-UP FOR SPOOL GUN WELDING
The Eastwood Elite AC/DC MP200i is designed to accept an Eastwood #20172 Spool Gun
(available separately, not included)
which allows for easy feeding of
aluminum wire to expand the AC/DC MP200i MIG welding capabilities. This is an optional accessory and can be purchased separately from Eastwood.
A cylinder of 100% Argon Gas (not included) from a local welding supplier is also required.
INSTALLING THE SPOOL GUN
• Open the Side Panel Door of the Welder and cut the MIG Wire from the Spool.
NOTE: DO NOT
allow the Spool of wire to unravel.
• Flip the Wire Tensioner outward, pivot it down and out of the way to release wire tension. Pull the remainder of the cut MIG wire from the MIG Gun Nozzle.
Return the Wire Tensioner to the locked position.
• Loosen the MIG Gun Thumb Screw and remove the MIG Gun from the MIG Gun Power/Gas/Wire Feed Socket
[a]
.
• Install the Brass Body End of the Spool Gun Cable Assembly into the socket and tighten the MIG Gun Thumb Screw.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Brass Body End of the Spool Gun Hose/Wire Cable
MUST BE
fully seated against the base of the drive assembly socket or gas
may either leak or not be able to pass through the connection to the end of the Spool Gun.
• Remove the MIG Gun Trigger plug and install the Spool Gun Trigger Plug to the MIG Gun Trigger Wire Connector
[b]
at the Front Upper Panel.
INSTALLING THE GROUND CABLE AND CLAMP
• The Ground Cable Clamp installation is the same as for the MIG Gun, see
INSTALLING THE GROUND CABLE AND CLAMP FOR SOLID WIRE MIG (DCEP)
WELDING WITH SHIELDING GAS.
SWAPPING GAS LINES
• Welding aluminum with the Spool Gun requires 100% Argon gas fed to the MIG gas port at the Rear Panel.
• If you already have a 100% Argon bottle installed for TIG welding, you can simply remove the MIG gas line at the regulator and swap it over to the
TIG gas bottle at the regulator. If not, you must source a bottle of 100% Argon to install and plumb to the MIG gas port.
SHOCK HAZARD!
Turn Off Welder and unplug from power source before installing or removing the Spool Gun or MIG Gun.
GASES UNDER HIGH PRESSURE!
•
Fully close the gas cylinder valve when removing lines or regulators, and when not in use.
•
Use only correct shielding gas cylinders, regulators, hoses, and fittings designed for the specific application; maintain them and
all related components in good condition.
•
Always turn your face away from valve outlet when opening cylinder valve.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN CAUSE INJURY OR DEATH!
Turn the ON/OFF Switch [h] on the Rear Panel to the OFF position and unplug the Welder from the power supply before beginning
welder set-up.
