4. Gas MIG Welding Operation
NOTE : Gas MIG welding will require a gas cylinder .
4.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector to
the negative welding power output socket
(10). Connect the earth clamp to the work
piece. Contact with the work piece must be
firm, contacting with clean, bare metal, with
no corrosion, paint or scale at the contact
point.
4.2 Connect the MIG power connection lead (9)
to the positive welding power output socket
(11).
NOTE
: If this connection is not made, there will be no
electrical connection to the welding torch!
4.3 Connect the gas regulator to a gas cylinder
(not included with machine) and connect
the gas hose from the regulator to the gas
inlet on the rear of the machine (12). Ensure
all hose connections are tight. Open gas
cylinder valve and adjust regulator, flow
should be between 10-25L/min depending
on application. Re-check regulator flow
pressure with torch triggered as static gas
flow setting may drop once gas is flowing.
4.4 Set the welding voltage adjustment knob (4)
and wire speed control knob (5).
MIG welding with Aluminium and other soft
wires.
The WF-180MST is not designed or recommended
for aluminium MIG welding. For MIG welding
aluminium, the WF-200MST is the recommended
model in the WeldForce range.
5. Gasless Welding Operation
5.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector
to the positive welding power output socket
(11). Connect the earth clamp to the work
piece. Contact with the work piece must
be firm contact with clean, bare metal, with
no corrosion, paint or scale at the contact
point.
5.2 Connect the MIG power connection lead (9)
to the negative welding power output socket
(10).
NOTE
: If this connection is not made, there will be no
electrical connection to the welding torch!
6. ARC/ MMA Welding Operation
6.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector
to the negative welding power output socket
(10) Connect the earth clamp to the work
piece. Contact with the work piece must
be firm contact with clean, bare metal, with
no corrosion, paint or scale at the contact
point.
6.2 Insert an electrode into the electrode holder
and connect the electrode holder and work
lead to the positive welding power output
socket (11).
NOTE
: This polarity connection configuration is valid
for most GP (General Purpose) MMA electrodes. There
are variances to this. If in doubt, check the electrode
specifications or consult the electrode manufacturer.
6.3 Connect the machine to suitable mains power
using the mains input power lead (13). Switch
the mains power switch (14) to ‘on’ to power
up the machine. Set the welding mode switch
(7) to ‘MMA’.
6.4 Select the required output current using the
current control knob (5). You are now ready to
weld!
7. Lift TIG Operation
NOTE : Lift TIG operation requires an optional valve
control TIG torch, and argon gas cylinder & regulator .
7.1 Connect the earth cable quick connector
to the positive welding power output socket
(11). Connect the earth clamp to the work
piece. Contact with the work piece must
be firm contact with clean, bare metal, with
no corrosion, paint or scale at the contact
point.
7.2 Insert TIG torch power connection into the
negative welding power output socket (10).
Connect valve TIG torch gas line to the
regulator, ensuring all connections are tight.
7.3 Open gas cylinder valve and adjust regulator,
flow should be between 5-10 l/min depending
on application. Re-check regulator flow
pressure with torch valve open as static gas
flow setting may drop once gas is flowing.
7.4 Connect the machine to suitable mains power
using the mains input power lead (13) Switch
the mains power switch (14) to ‘on’ to power
