Pre-Use & Setup
The Rhyas TURBO MIG 135 welder enables the end-user to configure the machine to be used
either as a GAS MIG welder or a NO GAS MIG welder.
Modifying or incorrectly setting up of the welder could cause permanent damage and invalidate
the warranty. Please see configuration details below.
GAS MIG WELDING CONFIGURATION
 The 0.6mm to 0.8mm wire feed roller must
be installed.
 Solid welding wire ONLY in the range of
0.6mm to 0.8mm to be used.
 The correct torch tip to be used
corresponding to the wire thickness selected.
 Gas can be connected by one of two
methods:-
A. The gas feed tube can be passed through the rear of the welder and
push fit connected to the gas regulator for use with the sample small gas
bottle supplied.
B. To use larger gas bottles with your own main
hose and appropriate regulator the gas tube can
be push fitted onto the hose tail as shown. Ensure
gas bottle being used is securely retained in an
upright position.
NO GAS MIG WELDING CONFIGURATION
To use the welder as a NO GAS MIG welder:-
 The internal electrical power leads must be
attached as per (fig 2)
 0.9mm fluxed wire to be used only.
 The 0.9mm wire feed roller must be inserted.
 The 0.9mm torch tip must be applied
 No GAS required, GAS regulator can be
closed.
IMPORTANT: The configurations above must be followed, failure to do so can cause
permanent damage to the welder and invalidate any warranty.
Welding and the use of welding equipment requires care and attention to detail, protection from
heat, fumes and welding glare. Please seek professional advice and training to ensure the safe
and correct use of the welder. Save these pre-use and setup details for future reference.

Pre-Use & Setup cont….
FITTING THE SPOOL
 Unscrew the reel retaining nut from the end of the spool holder and remove the spring.
 Slide the unopened reel of wire onto the spool holder.
 Refit the spring and the retaining nut, take care NOT TO over tighten the nut.
 Remove the plastic wrapping from the spool, HOLDING THE WIRE FIRMLY TO PREVENT
IT FROM UNWINDING, carefully find the end of the wire.
 Normally there is a small hole on the rim of the spool. Pass the wire through this hole and
fold it back on itself so that the wire does not unwind. In most cases on a new spool of wire it
is already supplied in this way.
FEEDING THE WIRE THROUGH
 Remove the shroud from the torch by turning it clockwise, this will expose the MIG tip.
Ensure the size that is stamped on the MIG tip corresponds to the size of the wire you intend
to use.
 Holding the spool of wire so as to prevent it unwinding, free the end of the wire from the
retaining hole, cut off the bent section and feed the wire through the plastic tube through to
the torch end.
 Once you see the MIG wire extended from the end of the torch carefully refit the shroud.
 Snip the wire back to about 5mm.
SETTING THE GAS FEED (GAS MODE SETTINGS ONLY)
 Open the gas valve on your chosen type of regulator.
 Adjust the knob on the regulator to give you the correct gas flow.
 After using the welder turn off the gas regulator and disconnect from the gas bottle.
WELDING MASK ASSEMBLY
Attach the handle to the mask front by aligning the holes on both parts and fixing together with
the supplied nuts and bolts. Release the catches on the sides of the viewing glass area and
insert the clear glass first. Then place the dark glass on top, twisting the catches on either side
to lock them into place.

MIG 135 Welder 53054 Torch Gas Pipe
Tight coiling and uncoiling of the torch lead can cause the gas pipe to detach from the torch
trigger so that the welding gas is connuously owing as opposed to being controlled by the
torch trigger, should this occurs it can easily be remedied.
Switch o the gas and power supply and carefully fully extend the torch lead so that it is
uncoiled. Slowly remove the four nuts and bolts holding the 2 parts of the torch together (g.1)
and li o the face cover.
The gas pipe can easily bee seen, (g.2), just using your hands, use one hand to hold the torch
and trigger mechanisms rmly and with the other gently pull the gas pipe to extend the length
of pipe and rmly push back onto the brass connector.
Carefully replace the cover plate on the torch and screw the two halves together.
