reduces the wire feeding friction and improves 

the wire feed speed smoothness and consistency, 

thus the welding quality is greatly improved. This 

is especially so with ‘soft’ wires such as Aluminium. 

It is difficult to get Aluminium to feed smoothly in 

welding machines equipped with standard design 

wire feeders, even with special torch liners and 

short torch lengths.

The second advantage is that the gun can allow 

the use of the small D100 wire spools at a distance 

from the power source (This distance is only 

limited by the length of the spool gun lead). This 

is advantageous for high cost wire, that is not used 

commonly such as Stainless Steel or MIG brazing 

wire. It saves the outlay cost for a much more 

expensive, larger D200 spool.

5.1  Connect the earth cable quick connector to 

the negative welding power output socket 

(13). 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 (14) 

to the positive welding power output socket 

(12). Note if this connection is not made, 

there will be no electrical connection to the 

welding torch!

5.3  Connect the spool gun Euro Connector to 

the MIG torch Euro connection socket (1) on 

the front of the machine. Secure by firmly 

hand tightening the threaded collar on the 

MIG Torch connector clockwise. Connect 

the spool gun interface plug to the spool 

gun connection socket (2). Set the spool gun 

switch (3) to ‘on’ position.

5.4  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 (15). Ensure all hose 

connections are tight. Open gas cylinder valve 

and adjust regulator, flow should be between 

10-25 l/min depending on application. Re-

check regulator flow pressure with torch 

triggered as static gas flow setting may drop 

once gas is flowing.

5.5  Set the welding voltage adjustment knob (8), 

wire speed control knob (9) and inductance 

control knob (10) to the desired positions. 

You are now ready to weld!.

6.  ARC/ MMA Welding Operation

6.1  Connect the earth cable quick connector to 

the negative welding power output socket 

(13) 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 (12).

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 (16). Switch  

 

the mains power switch (17) to ‘on’ to power  

 

up the machine. Set the welding mode switch  

 

(6) to ‘ARC’.

6.4  Select the required output current using the  

 

current control knob (9). You are now ready to  

 weld!

7.  Lift TIG Operation

NOTE

Lift TIG operation requires an optional valve 

control TIG torch, argon gas cylinder & regulator

.

7.1  Connect the earth cable quick connector to 

the positive welding power output socket 

(12). 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 

(13). 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 (16). Switch 

the mains power switch (17) to ‘on’ to power
