MIG Welding
1. Turn the Current Adjustment Knob to meet the needs of the job.
2. Move the
Model Selector Switch to “MIG”.
3. Put the metal to be welded on the metal weeding-cutting table. Ensure the metals to
be welded are clean, so good welding efficiency can be promised.
4. Place the MIG welding unit no closer than six feet from the work piece to be welded
5. Connect the MIG torch control, cable plug as shown on page 10. Twist to lock in
place.
6. Plug in the Grounding Cable into the Ground Connector on the upper of the unit front.
Twist to lock.
7. Securely place the clamping end of the Grounding Cable Clamp to a part of the work
piece or metal table that is clean of paint, oil, or dirt. Clamp as close as possible to the
work piece without damaging the cable during welding.
8. Assemble the desired accessories and tips inside the tip of the MIG Torch handle.
Insert the
Contact Tip (2b) onto the Welding Wire and screw it firmly into the Head
Tube (3b) of
the Torch Handle. Replace the Nozzle (1b), and cut off any excess
Welding Wire over
1/2 inches.
9. Connect a hose and coupling from the gas regulator on a CO
2
gas tank (none
included) to the CO
2
Gas Inlet on the back of the unit. Follow the gas cylinder
manufacturer’s instructions for set-up and use.
10. Verify that the Power Switch is in the off position, then plug the
240
~line cord plug into
an appropriate
240

position. The Power Light”
will illuminate, but the Torch is not yet
energized.
12.
Point the Torch Handle away from all objects. Then, press the Trigger Switch (51e) on
the Torch Handle until the Welding Wire feeds through the Head Tube (51c) of the
Torch Handle about 2 inches. If necessary, move the Torch Handle slightly in a circular
motion to help feed the Welding Wire properly out of the Head Tube.
13. Press the torch and orient yourself to one side of the area to be welded, and move the
Welding Helmet Face Shield (not included, see page 4 item 7) over your eyes.
