Before welding, always make sure that all regulations and instructions for safe work are met.
When welding by MIG / MAG process, the noise can be higher than 85db (A), so the worker must
wear non-flammable earmuffs during welding.
Welding produces strong UV rays that can burn uncovered parts of the body.
The protective glass on the mask should be numbered 9-15 according to DIN 4647.
Do not look into the electric arc during welding, as there is a risk of instantaneous glare.
Only weld when there is another person nearby who can give you first aid in case of injury.
PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE!
In the rooms where we weld, it must be sufficiently airy, suction is desirable. Ventilation device to
protect against particles must be available during welding. Toxic gases are formed especially when we
weld material that is galvanically coated with other metals or materials with detergent residues. Do not
weld closed containers containing flammable liquids (petrol, oil, varnishes…) as there is a high risk of
explosion!
FIRE HAZARD
Follow these instructions:
 Remove combustible materials within 5m of the welding site
 Cover openings, cracks, and other objects that can trap sparks
 Keep fire extinguishers nearby

WELDING WIRE INSTALATION
- Open the door on the side of the device, move the star knob towards you and lift the lid of the clamping
system.
- Make sure that, depending on the welding wire diameter, the appropriate wire feed roller (e.g. 0.8mm,
1,0mm, etc.) is in the wire feed system (the wire feed roller side with the correct mm specification must
point towards the wire feed).
- Unscrew the screw of the wire locating pin, place the corresponding welding wire on the wire locating
pin and retighten the screw (The welding wire must be positioned so that it enters the wire feeder from
its lower part.)

MIG-160ER

- Guide the welding wire into the right opening of the wire feeder, over the wire feed roller into the left
opening of the wire feeder.
- Close the cover of the clamping system and move the star grip away from you so that the cover is
locked. Adjust the tensioner with the star grip (e.g., with 0,9 mm wire to 3.5). Do not turn the tensioner
past value 5!
- The next step is to turn on the unit, make sure the torch cord is straight and remove the nozzle and
nozzle assembly from the gun.
- You can then pull the wire to the torch nozzle either with the button on the torch or with the “Fast Wire
Drive” button. After the wire comes out of the gun, reattach the nozzle and nozzle assembly to the gun.
CONNECTION & SETTINGS
MIG/MAG welding with/without gas:
Connect the torch and the earth cable correctly, depending on whether you want to weld with or
without gas (filler wire).
Filled wire welding (without gas)
Set the appliance to "FLUX" by pressing the button (3)

MIG-160ER
10
In this welding process, a filled wire is used for welding, which already contains particles that form a
protective atmosphere during welding and thus prevent air from entering. You do not need shielding
gas for this welding process.
When you select FLUX, the welding machine automatically adjusts some parameters to help you
achieve the best results during welding.
Use the control knob (4) to set the appropriate welding current, which is usually set in the range of
approx. 80A when filling with charged wire. Then place the control knob (5) in the middle. During
welding, both control buttons must be adjusted until you get a satisfactory or a desired weld.
Shielding gas welding
Depending on which shielding gas you want to work with, press the button (3) to set the "Co2" or
"MIX" selection:
If you use CO2 as the shielding gas, set the "Co2" setting with the button, or if you use the argon /
CO2 mixture as the shielding gas, you must select the "MIX" setting with the key.
Use the control knob (4) to set the appropriate welding current depending on the diameter of the
welding wire. Then place the control knob (5) in the middle. During welding, both control buttons must
be adjusted until you get a satisfactory or. of the desired weld.
MMA Welding
Connect the welding cable and the earthing cable to the socket (7, 8) with the appropriate polarity
according to the electrode manufacturer's recommendation.
Pay attention to positive and negative attachment. Different types of electrodes require
different polarities, see electrode manufacturer's instructions.
* In TIG mode (LIFT TIG), connect the cables in the same way as in the case of "A rutile
electrode ".
Polarity:
The polarity depends on the information provided by the electrode manufacturer on the electrode
packaging.

MIG-160ER
11
Electrode NEGATIVE / workpiece POSITIVE - low-alloy rutile electrode types. (These are the most
commonly used)
Electrode POSITIVE / workpiece NEGATIVE - basic and high-alloy electrode types.
Connect the power cord to the appropriate voltage and power source and ensure the cord is secure.
The device can now be switched on by operating the on/off switch on the back and thereby putting it
into operation.
Electrode Welding
Electrode welding or MMA welding is one of the oldest welding processes that uses stick electrodes
that protect the melt from chemical reactions with the ambient air. In this process, an arc burns
between an electrode and the workpiece, melting the electrode into a filler material.
Electrode Diameter
Depending on the electrode diameter, you determine the desired current range in which you will be
welding. You set the amperage on the front of the device with the welding control button, which you
can also read on the digital display. To know which area to select, refer to the information in the table
below.
Stick electrode Ø mm Current
MIN MAX
Ø1,6mm 44A 84A
Ø2,0mm 60A 100A
Ø2,5mm 80A 120A
Ø3,2mm 100A 150A
Ø4,0mm 140A 180A
LIFT TIG mode
Press the button (3) to select the "LIFT TIG" mode:
In Lift TIG mode, it can be welded according to the TIG process with the optional TIG burner (not
included in the package).
In this mode, the corresponding welding current can only be set with the control knob (4).
WELDING TIPS
Stainless steel welding
Note that it is essential to use clean gases (e.g., argon) when welding stainless steel. The setting of
the welding current can be adjusted in the same way as for steel welding.
Recommended types of shielding gas:
Steel: CO2, it is also possible to use mixtures, e.g., 18% argon and 82% CO2

MIG MAG WELDING – WHICH WELDING WIRE?
A MIG welding wire is indispensable for arc welding because it is inserted into the construction during
welding and thus creates a strong connection. MIG welding wires are located on wire rolls and are
differentiated depending on the material, roll and wire diameter. When choosing the right MIG welding
wire, you must consider the material composition, the quality, and the suitable wire diameter for the
welding current. As a rule, the thicker the welding wire, the stronger the materials that can be welded
with it. However, the material composition, which depends on the application, is particularly important
when making the selection. The right choice depends on the material and material thickness that you
want to weld. The rule applies that the additional material is the same as the material of the workpiece.
You can choose from the following types of welding wire:
Solid wire - Solid wire refers to welding wires such as steel and stainless steel, which require a
protective gas to prevent oxidation during the welding process. The shielding gas guarantees a stable
arc and protects the liquid weld pool from the ingress of air from the atmosphere. This variant is used
by more than 80% of users because it produces less spatter, and the seams are of better quality than
those produced by welding without gas. Solid wires are also gentler on the wire feed in the device due
to their higher column cross-section strength, they are also stiffer and do not bend as easily. A gas
cylinder, a manometer and a wire feed roller with a V-groove are used for welding with solid wire. The
protective gas used for steel (82% argon and 18% CO2) and stainless steel (97.5% argon and 2.5%
CO2).
Cored Wire / FLUX / Gasless Wire - These wires consist of a thin metallic jacket that is filled with
powder and layered with metal compounds and then rolled into a cylinder to shape the finished wire. At
high temperatures, the FLUX wire creates an atmosphere with protective gas, which means that you do
not need a gas cylinder or manometer for use. The cored wire is softer than the solid wire and behaves
in a similar way to the aluminium wire when it is fed to the workpiece, which can mean less safety in
feeding and possible crushing of the wire when it exits the drive. For cored wire, you will find special
knurled wire feed rollers which have small teeth in the groove so that the wire is better gripped and thus
a better feed is created, but over time the surface of the welding wire will slowly erode, which can lead
to blockages in the wire guide A U-groove roller for cored wire can also be used, thanks to which one
can avoid a blockage at the price of lower feed quality. Compared to solid wire, cored wire welding has
the advantage that you do not need any accessories for gas, you can also do work outside, but there
are also disadvantages because this method creates more spatter, the slag must be removed, and the
quality of the seams is poorer than with inert gas welding. Shielding gas is not used for cored wire.
