feed speed

Inductance control which controls the smoothness of 

the arc

Burn back control which limits the wire stick out at 

the end of a weld.

1.  Depress the process selector button until the light 

for MIG welding is illuminated. 

Note: Check that drive rolls, and torch parts are 

correct for the wire size and type being used.

2.  The optimum idle roll pressure varies with 

type of wire, wire diameter, surface conditions, 

lubrication, and hardness. As a general rule, hard 

wires may require greater pressure, and soft, or 

aluminium wire, may require less pressure than 

the factory setting. The optimum idle roll setting 

can be determined as follows:

3.  Press end of gun against a solid object that is 

electrically isolated from the welder output and 

press the gun trigger for several seconds.

4.  If the wire “bird nests”, jams or breaks at the 

drive roll, the idle roll pressure is too great. Back 

the adjustment knob out 1/2 turn, run new wire. 

If the only result was drive roll slippage, loosen 

the Hand nut on the central connector and pull 

the gun forward about 6” (15cm) away from the 

power source. There should be a slight waviness 

in the exposed wire. If there is not waviness, the 

pressure is too low. Tighten the adjustment knob 

1/4 turn, reinstall the gun cable and repeat the 

above steps.

6.1.1 Feeding wire electrode

1.  When triggering, the electrode and drive 

mechanism are electrically “LIVE” relative to work 

and ground and remain “LIVE” several seconds 

after the gun trigger is release

d.

WARNING

When using an open arc process, it is necessary to 

use correct eye, head, and body protection.

2.  Position wire over joint. The end of the wire may 

be lightly touching the work.

3.  Lower welding helmet, operate gun trigger, and 

begin welding. Hold the gun so the contact tip to 

work distance is about 3/8” (10 mm).

4.  To stop welding, release the gun trigger and then 

pull the gun away from the work after the arc goes 

out.

5.  When no more welding is to be done, close valve 

on gas cylinder (if used), momentarily operate gun 

trigger to release gas pressure and turn off the 

machine.

6.1.1 Optimising weld parameters

NOTE These settings are guidelines only. Material 

and wire type, joint design, fit up, position, shielding 

gas, etc. affect settings. Produce test welds to be sure 

they comply to specifications.

Material thickness determines weld parameters.

1.  Convert Material Thickness to Amperage (A) 

(0.25mm= 1 Amp) 3.2mm = 125 A

2.  Select Wire Size

Amperage Range 

Wire Size

40 - 145 A   

0.8 mm

50 - 180 A   

1.0 mm

3.  Select Wire Speed (Amperage)

Wire Size   

Feed speed

0.8 mm 

 

0.05m/min per Amp

1.0 mm 

 

0.04m/min per Amp

So based on 3.2 mm material thickness amperage 

should be 125A if using 1.0mm wire then the wire 

feed speed should be 

0.04 X 125= 5m/min

Wire speed (amperage) controls weld penetration

4.     

 

 Select Voltage. Voltage controls height and width 

of weld bead.

Low Voltage: wire stubs into work

High Voltage: arc is unstable (spatter)

Set voltage midway between high/low voltages.

And then fine tune accordingly

6.2 MMA Welding Guide

Controls used
Current  control for adjusting the welding current
Arc force (voltage control which controls the hardness 

of the arc.

Effects of MMA welding various materials

High tensile and alloy steels
The two most prominent effects of welding these 

steels are the formation of a hardened zone in the 

weld area, and, if suitable precautions are not taken, 

the occurrence in this zone of under-bead cracks. 

Hardened zone and under-bead cracks in the weld 

area may be reduced by using the correct electrodes, 

preheating, using higher current settings, using larger 

electrodes sizes, short runs for larger electrode 

deposits or tempering in a furnace.
