RANGER® 225
WIRE FEED WELDING PROCESSES
(CONSTANT VOLTAGE)
The Innershield
®
electrode recommended for use with
the RANGER® 225 is NR
®
-211-MP. The electrode
sizes and welding ranges that can be used with the
RANGER® 225 are shown in the following table:
The RANGER® 225 is recommended for limited “MIG”
welding (GMAW - gas metal arc welding). The recom-
mended electrodes are .030” and .035” L-50 and L-56.
They must be used with a blended shielding gas such
as C25 (75% Argon - 25% CO
2
). The welding ranges
that can be used with the RANGER® 225 are shown
in the following table:
Diameter Wire Speed Approximate
(in.) Range In./Min. Current Range
.035
80 - 110
75A to 120A
.045
70 - 130
120A to 170A
.068
40 - 90
125A to 225A

ARC GOUGING
The RANGER® 225 can be used for limited arc goug-
ing.
Set the Range switch to adjust output current to the
desired level for the gouging electrode being used
according to the ratings in the following table:
