MIG/MAG
Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and
protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding
area.

Gas Metal Arc Welding
MIG welding was developed to help meet production demands of the
war and post war economy which is an arc welding process in which a
continuous solid wire electrode is fed through a MIG welding gun and
into the weld pool, joining the two base materials together.
A shielding gas is also sent through the MIG welding gun and
protects the weld pool from contamination which also enhances the
arc.
Connect the MIG torch leads as detailed on
page 17. Work return lead to

(A)
Ensure that a suitable inert gas supply is
connected.
Switch the power switch on the back panel
to
“
ON
”
the machine is started with the
power LED on and the fans are running.
Using the welding mode switch, select MIG
by switching to the MIG position.
Open the gas valve of the cylinder and adjust the gas regulator to obtain the desired flow rate.
Adjust the
“
voltage control knob in MIG
”
and
“
wire feed speed control knob in MIG
”
on the front panel
of the machine to get the correct welding voltage and welding current.
Operate the torch trigger and welding can be carried out.
The below MIG wire guide can vary depending on material used, work piece thickness, welding position
and joint form.

The operation method is the same as the above MIG operation except there are no gas options and the
output polarity is reversed (see page 17).
