5.9 Sheilding gas connection 

1.  Using the gas hose supplied connect the hose to the gas inlet 

connection on the rear of the machine and tighten it with a 

spanner. 

2.  Connect the opposite end of the gas hose to the output 

connection of a gas regulator capable of supplying the correct 

gas flow for the welding operation. 

note if the gas cylinder is to be stored on the back of the 

machine ensure it is secured using the retention chain provided

6.0 Operation

1.  Switch on the machine using the switch no the front panel, this 

lights the Green LED on the front panel. 

2.  Turn the “VOLTAGE SELECTOR” switches Set voltage midway 

between high/low voltages.

 

NOTE: Check that drive rolls, and torch parts are correct 

for the wire size and type being used.

3.  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:

4.  Press end of gun against a solid object that is electrically 

isolated from the welder output and press the gun trigger for 

several seconds.

5.  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 no 

waviness, the pressure is too low. Tighten the adjustment knob 

1/4 turn, reinstall the gun cable and repeat the above steps.

6.1 Feeding wire electrode

Note 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 released.

WarnInG

When using an open arc process, it is necessary to use correct 

eye, head, and body protection.

1.  Position wire over joint. The end of the wire may be lightly 

touching the work.

2.  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).

3.  To stop welding, release the gun trigger and then pull the gun 

away from the work after the arc goes out.

4.  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.

6.2 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

75 - 250 A 

 

1.2 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

1.2 mm 

 

0.025m/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

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.

6.3 Additional welding controls

Burn back adjustment. 

when welding at high amperages the wire 

can often burn back onto or close to the contact tip to prevent this 

happening you can increase the burn back control (18) located 
inside the wire spool cover.

Soft Start. 

The soft start control slows the acceleration of the wire 

feed motor as the act starts and so reduces wire snubing and spatter 

at the weld start. This control should be adjusted to give a smoother 

start to the weld. (17).
