BEFORE YOU START—DESCRIPTION
2. Extension cord
3. Install the wire roller
Drive tension arm Gun liner
Drive roller
Drive tension arm
Connect your welder’s power cord to a properly-grounded 120 V AC, 60 Hz,
single phase, 20 A power source.
Before installing any welding wire into the unit, the properly-sized groove must be placed into
position on the wire drive mechanism. Adjust the drive roller according to the following steps, see
following picture about the wire feeder structure:
During normal use an extension cord is not necessary. It is strongly recommended that an
extension cord should not be used because of the voltage drop they produce. This drop in
voltage can affect the performance of the welder. If you need to use an extension cord it must
be a #12 gauge cord at the smallest.
Do not use an extension cord over 25' (7.6 m) in length.
Inlet guide tube
3.1. Open the door to the welder drive compartment.
3.2. Remove the drive tension (see 1) by loosening the tension adjusting knob and lifting the
drive tension adjustor away from the drive tension arm (see 2). Pull the drive tension arm
away from the drive roller (see 3). See following images for reference.
3.5. Pull the drive roller off of the drive roller shaft.
3.3. If there is wire already installed in the welder, roll it back onto the wire spool by hand-turning
the spool counter-clockwise. Be careful not to allow the wire to come out of the rear end of the inlet
guide tube without holding onto it or it will unspool itself. Put the end of the wire into the hole on the
outside edge of the wire spool and bend it over to hold the wire in place. Remove the spool of wire
from the drive compartment of the welder.
3.4. Rotate the drive roller cap counter-clockwise and remove it from the drive roller.
AC single phase 120 V (110－130 V), 60 Hz fused with a 20 A time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker is
required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL power source voltage is less than 105 V AC
or greater than 132 V AC.

RECOMMENDED WIRE
Electric shock can kill! Always turn the POWER switch OFF and unplug the power cord from the
AC power source before installing wire.
3.6 According to the wire diameter, select the correct groove according to the
following table about the relationship between wire diameter and wire roller groove size.
The drive roller has two wire size grooves built into it. When installing the drive roller, the
number stamped on the drive roller for the wire size you are using should be facing you. Push
the drive roller onto the drive roller shaft.
3.7. Reinstall the drive roller cap and lock in place by turning it clockwise.
Both 4" (10 cm) and 8" (20 cm) wire spools of .030" (0.8 mm) or .035" (0.9 mm)
self shielding flux-core wire can be used on this welder. Steel from 18 gauge up
to 3/16” thick can be welded with this wire.
NOTE:
- Metal thinner than 18 guage cannot be welded with this machine.
Attempting to do so will cause burn-through in the metal you are intending
to weld.
- Remove any wire that is rusty; if the whole spool is rusty discard it.
3.8. Close the door to the welder drive compartment.
4. Install the wire
4.1 Select the wire
This welder uses both 4 or 8" (10 or 20 cm) spools of 0.030 or 0.035" (0.8 or 0.9 mm) thick wire.
4.2.1 Remove the nozzle and contact tip from the end of the torch assembly.
4.2 Install the wire.
4.2.2 Make sure the proper groove on the drive roller is in place for the wire installed. If not, change
the drive roller as described above.
4.2.3 Unwrap the spool of wire and then find the leading end of the wire. The wire goes through a hole in
the outer edge of the spool and is bent over the spool edge to pre vent the wire from unspooling BUT DO
NOT UNHOOK IT YET at this moment.
4.2.4 Place the spool on the spool holder in such a manner that when the wire comes off the spool
the welding wire comes off the bottom of the spool into the drive mechanism. See following diagram.
• Before installing, make sure that you have removed any old wire from the torch assembly.
This will help to prevent the possibility of the wire jamming inside the torch liner.
• Be very careful when removing the welding nozzle. The contact tip on this welder is live whenever
the torch trigger is pulled. Make certain POWER is turned OFF.
• Metal thinner than 18 gauge cannot be welded with this machine. Attempting to do so will cause
burn through in the metal you are intending to weld.
• If the wire is rusted remove any wire with rust. If the whole spool is rusty discard it.

NOTE:
4.2.15. Connect the welder power cord to the AC power source. Turn the welder ON. Set the
VOLTAGE switch to the voltage (heat) setting recommended for the gauge metal that is to be
welded. Refer to the label mounted on the cover, inside the drive compartment.
4.2.16. Set the WIRE SPEED control to the middle of the wire speed range.
4.2.17. Straighten the torch cable and pull the trigger on the welding torch to feed the wire through
the torch assembly. When at least 1" (2.5 cm) of the wire sticks out past the end of the torch, release
the trigger.
4.2.18 Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
4..2.19 Select a contact tip stamped with the same diameter as the wire being used.
Due to inherent variances in flux-cored welding wire, it may be necessary to use a contact tip one size
larger than your flux core wire if wire jams occur.
4.2.20. Slide the contact tip over the wire (protruding from the end of the torch). Thread the contact
tip into the end of the torch and hand-tighten securely.
4.2.21. Install the nozzle on the torch assembly. For best results, coat the inside of the nozzle with
anti
stick spray or gel.
4.2.22 Cut off the excess wire that extends past the end of the nozzle.
4.2.23. Turn the welder ON.
5.1. Press the trigger on the torch.
5.2. Turn the drive tension adjustment knob clockwise, increasing the drive tension until the wire seems
to feed smoothly without slipping.
4.2.5 The welder can use both 4 and 8" (10 and 20 cm) spool, please see the following
chart. The adjustment knob is designed to adjust the pressure tension of the wire spool.
4.2.6. Once adjustment knob is installed, set the spool tension.
a) With one hand, turn the wire spool and continue turning it while adjusting the
tension on the spool.
b) With your free hand, tighten the drive tension adjustment knob.
c) Stop tightening when drag is felt on the wire spool that you are turning, then
stop hand-turning the wire spool.
4.2.7. After checking to make sure that your welder is disconnected from the AC power
source, free the leading end of the wire from the spool, but do not let go of it until told to
do so, or the wire will unspool itself.
4.2.8. Using a wire cutter, cut the bent end off the leading end of the wire so that only a
straight leading end remains.
4.2.9. Loosen the tension adjusting knob holding the drive tension arm in place and lift the
tension arm up off the drive roller.
4.2.10. Insert the leading end of the wire into the inlet guide tube. Then push it across the
drive roller and into the torch assembly about 6" (15 cm)..
4.2.11. Line the wire up to place in the groove of drive roller, then allow the drive tension arm to
drop onto the drive roller.
4.2.12. Flip the quick release drive tension back up into position on the drive tension arm.
4.2.13. Tighten (turn clockwise) the drive tension adjusting knob until the tension roller is applying
enough force on the wire to prevent it from slipping out of the drive assembly.
4.2.14. Let go of the wire.
WARNING!
Arc flash can injure eyes! To reduce the risk of arc flash, make certain that the wire coming
out of the end of the torch does not come in contact with work piece, ground clamp or any
grounded material during the drive tension setting process or arcing will occur.
CAUTION

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
If TOO MUCH tension is applied to the wire spool, the wire will slip on the drive roller
or will not be able to feed at all. If TOO LITTLE tension is applied, the spool of wire will
want to unspool itself. Readjust the drive brake tension as necessary to correct for either
problem.

OERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for
proper installation of receptacle at the power source. This welder must be
grounded while in use to protect the operator from electric shock. If you
are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician. Do not cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in any way
and do not use any adaptors between the welder’s power cord and the power
source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then connect your
welder’s power cord to a properly grounded 115 V AC (110 V－120 V), 60 Hz,
single phase, 20 A power source.
There are two angles of the torch nozzle in relation to the work piece that must be
considered when welding.
3.1. Angle A can be varied, but in most cases the optimum angle will be 60 degrees,
the point at which the torch handle is parallel to the work piece. If angle A is increased,
penetration will increase. If angle A is decreased, penetration will decrease also.
The best way to hold the welding torch is the way that feels most comfortable to you.
While practicing to use your new welder, experiment holding the torch in different
positions until you find the one that seems to work best for you.
Power switch－The power switch supplies electrical current tothe welder. Whenever
the power switch is in the ON position, the welding circuit is activated. ALWAYS turn
the power switch to the OFF position and unplug the welder before performing any
maintenance.
Voltage selector－The voltage selector controls the welding heat. This unit has two
step voltage control. Refer to the label inside the welder side door for recommended
voltage selector settings for your welding job.
Wire speed control－The wire speed control adjusts the speed at which the wire is
fed out of the welding torch. The wire speed needs to be closely matched (tuned-in)
to the rate at which it is being melted off. Some things that affect wire speed selection
are the type and diameter of the wire being used, the heat setting selected, and the
welding position to be used.
Note: The wire will feed faster without an arc. When an arc is being drawn, the wire
speed will slow down.
1. Main control component
2. Hold the torch
3. Position the torch to the work piece
3.2. Angle B can be varied for two reasons: to improve the ability to see the arc in relation to the weld
puddle and to direct the force of the arc.
WARNING!
EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN!
Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never
strike an arc or begin welding until you are adequately protected. Wear flameproof
welding gloves, a heavy long-sleeved shirt, cuffless trousers, high-topped shoes, and
an ANSI-approved welding helmet.

4. Distance from the work piece
5. Tuning in the wire speed
If the nozzle is held off the work piece, the distance between the nozzle and the work piece should be
kept constant and should not exceed 1/4" (6 mm) or the arc may begin sputtering, signaling a loss in
welding performance.
This is one of the most important parts of MIG welder operation and must be done before starting each
welding job or whenever any of the following variables are changed: heat setting, wire diameter, or wire
type.
5.1. Connect the ground clamp to a scrap piece of the same type of material which you will be
welding. It should be equal to or greater than the thickness of the actual work piece, and free of
oil, paint, rust, etc.
5.2. Select a heat setting.
5.3. Hold the torch in one hand, allowing the nozzle to rest on the edge of the workpiece farthest away
from you, and at an angle similar to that which will be used when welding.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
5.4. With your free hand, turn the wire speed dial to maximum a nd continue to hold onto the knob.
5.5. Lower your welding helmet and pull the trigger on the torch to start an arc, then begin to drag the
torch toward you while simultaneously turning the wire speed dial counter-clockwise.
5.6. LISTEN! As you decrease the wire speed, the sound that the arc makes will change from a
sputtering to a high-pitched buzzing sound and then will begin sputtering again if you decrease the
wire speed too much. The point on the wire speed adjustment where the high-pitched buzzing sound
is achieved is the correct setting. You can use the wire speed control to slightly increase or decrease
the heat and penetration for a given heat setting by selecting higher or lower wire speed settings.
Repeat this tune-in procedure if you select a new heat setting, a different diameter wire, or a different
type of welding wire.
6. Welding Techniques
WARNING
EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN!

Torch travel refers to the movement of the torch along the weld joint and is broken into two elements:
direction and speed. A solid weld bead requires that the welding torch be moved steadily and at the
right speed along the weld joint. Moving the torch too fast, too slow, or erratically will
prevent proper fusion or create a lumpy, uneven bead.
Travel direction is the direction the torch is moved along the weld joint in relation to the weld puddle.
The torch is either PUSHED into the weld puddle or PULLED away from the weld puddle.
6.1 Moving the torch
6.2 Types of welding bead
As you become more familiar with your new welder and better at laying some simple weld beads, you can
begin to try some different weld bead types.
The stringer bead is formed by travelling with the torch in a straight line while keeping the wire and nozzle
centered over the weld joint. See following figure.
The weave bead is used when you want to deposit metal over a wider space than would be possible
with a stringer bead. It is made by weaving from side to side while moving with the torch. It is best
to hesitate momentarily at each side before weaving back the other way.
For most welding jobs you will pull the torch along the weld joint to take advantage of the greater
weld puddle visibility.
Travel speed is the rate at which the torch is being pushed or pulled along the weld joint. For a fixed
heat setting, the faster the travel speed, the lower the penetration and the lower and narrower the
finished weld bead. Likewise, the slower the travel speed, the deeper the penetration and the higher and
wider the finished weld bead.

OPRATING INSTRUCTIONS OPRATING INSTRUCTIONS
6.3 Welding position
FLAT POSITION This is easiest of the welding positions and is most commonly used. It is best if you
can weld in the flat position if at all possible as good results are easier to achieve.
HORIZONTAL POSITION. This is performed very much the same as the flat weld except that angle B
(see HOLDING THE TORCH) is such that the wire is directed more toward the metal above the weld
joint. This is to help prevent the weld pud dle from running downward while still allowing slow
enough travel speed. A good starting point for angle B is about 30 degrees DOWN from being
perpendicular to the work piece.
Butt Weld Joints. When butt welding thicker materials, you will need to prepare the edges of the
material to be joined by grinding a bevel on the edge of one or both pieces of the metal being joined.
When this is done, a V is created between the two pieces of metal, that will have to be welded closed.
In most cases more than one pass or bead will need to be laid into the joint to close the V.
Laying more than one bead into the same weld joint is known as a multiple-pass weld.
The illustrations in following figure show the sequence for laying multiple pass beads into a single V butt
joint.
WHEN USING SELF-SHIELDING FLUX-CORE WIRE it is very important to thoroughly chip and brush the
slag off each completed weld bead before making another pass or the next pass will be of poor quality.
Fillet Weld Joints. Most fillet weld joints, on metals of moderate to heavy thickness, will require multiple
pass welds to produce strong joint. The illustrations in Figure 19 show the sequence of laying multiple
pass beads into a T fillet joint and a lap fillet joint.
VERTICAL POSITION. It is easier for many people to Pull the torch from top to bottom. It can be difficult
to prevent the puddle from running downward. Pushing the torch from bottom to top may provide
better puddle control and allow slower rates of travel speed to achieve deeper penetration. When
vertical welding, angle B (see HOLDING THE TORCH) is usually always kept at zero, but angle A will
generally range from 45 to 60 degrees to provide better puddle control.
OVERHEAD POSITION. This is the most difficult welding position. Angle A (see HOLDING THE TORCH)
should be maintained at 60 degrees. Maintaining this angle will reduce the chances of molten metal
falling into the nozzle. Angle B should be held at zero degrees so that the wire is aiming directly into
the weld joint. If youexperience excessive dripping of the weld puddle, select a lower heat setting. Also,
the weave bead tends to work better than the stringer.
6.4 Multiple pass welding
NOTE:
WARNING!
PEENING THE SLAG FROM A WELD JOINT CAUSES SMALL CHIPS OF METAL TO FLY THROUGH
THE AIR.
• Metallic chips flying through the air can cause eye injury or injury to other parts of the head,
hands or exposed portions of the body.
• Wear goggles or eyeglasses with side shields and protect the hands and other exposed parts
of the body with protective garments, or if possible, work with a shield between the body and
the workpiece.

MAINTENANCE
The welder needs regular maintenance:
• Periodically clean dust, dirt, grease, etc. from your welder. Every six months, or as necessary,
remove the cover panel from the welder and air-blow any dust and dirt that may have
accumulated inside the welder.
• Replace power cord, ground cable ground clamp, or electrode assembly when damaged or worn.
• Store in a clean dry facility, free from corrosive gas, excess dust and high humidity. Store in a
temperature range from -12 to 49ºC (10 to 120ºF) and relative humidity not more than 90%.
• When transporting or storing the welder after use, it is recommended to repack the product as it
was received for protection. Cleaning is required before storage and you must seal the plastic
bag in the box for storage.
