• The above icons mean Warning! Notice! Running and thermal parts or receiving an
electric shock may harm you or others. The following precautions apply as a guide
to working safely.
1.2 Arc Welding Damage
• The following icons explanations are to prevent accidents to you or others during
the welding process.
• Only experienced personell can install, operate, maintain and repair the equipment.
• During the operation make sure those around you are properly protected.
• After turning off the machine power, please maintain and examine the equipment
according to 5due to DC voltage existing in the electrolytic capacitors.
ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL
• Never touch live electrical parts.
• Wear dry, hole-free gloves and clothes to insulate yourself.
• Insulate yourself from work and ground using dry insulation. Make certain the
insulation is large enough to cover your full area of physical contact with work and
ground.
• Take care when using the equipment in a confined space, on uneven surfaces and
in damp conditions.
• Shut down the incoming electrical supply prior to the equipment’s installation.
• Ensure the equipment is installed correctly and the work or metal is earthed
according to the operation manual.
• The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are ‘hot’ when the machine is on. Do not
touch these electrically ‘hot’ parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry,
hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
• In semiautomatic or automatic wire welding, the electrode, electrode reel, welding
head, nozzle or semiautomatic welding gun are also electrically ‘hot’.
• Always ensure the work cable makes a good electrical connection and is as close as
possible to the metal being welded.
• Ensure the electrode holder, work clamp, welding cable and welding machine are
in good, safe operating condition. Replace any damaged insulation.
• Never dip the electrode in water for cooling.
• Never simultaneously touch electrically ‘hot’ parts of electrode holders connected to
two machines as voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage
of both welders.
• When working above floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall
should you receive an electric shock.
FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS
• Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these
fumes and gases.

FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS.
Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases.
When welding, keep your head out of the fume. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep
fumes and gases away from the breathing zone. When welding with electrodes which require special
ventilation such as stainless or hard facing or on lead or cadmium plated steel and other metals or
coatings which produce highly toxic fumes, keep exposure as low as possible and below Threshold
Limit Values using local exhaust or mechanical ventilation. In confined spaces or in some
circumstances, outdoors, a respirator may be required. Additional precautions are also required when
welding on galvanized steel.
Do not weld in locations near chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors coming from degreasing, cleaning or
spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a
highly toxic gas, and other irritating products.
Shielding gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough
ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.
Read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions for this equipment and the consumables to be
used, including the material safety data sheet and follow your employer’s safety practices.

1.3 Electric and Magnetic Fields
• Electric current flowing through any conductor causes localised Electric and
Magnetic Fields (EMF). The discussions of the effect of EMF is ongoing globally.
Up to now, there is no material evidence that EMF has any adverse effects on
health.
Minimise exposure to EMF as far as possible by applying the following procedures:
– Route the electrode and work cables together. Secure them with tape when
possible.
– All cables should be stored away from the operator.
– Never coil the power cable around your body.
– Make sure welding machine and power cable are far enough away from the
operator according to the working environment.
– Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being
welded.
– Personnel fitted with a heart-pacemaker should keep their distance from the
welding area.

2.3 Working Principle
The working principle of the Digi-Mig 200 welding machines is shown as follows:
Single-phase 220V work frequency AC is rectified into DC 350V, it is then converted to
medium frequency AC (about 40KHz) by the inverter device (IGBT). The reducing of
voltage using the medium transformer (the main transformer) whilst rectifying using
the medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diodes) is outputted by inductance
filtering.
The circuit adopts current feedback control technology to ensure current output is
stable when MMA or TIG welding. It also adopts voltage feedback control technology to
ensure voltage output is stable when MIG welding. The welding current parameter can
be adjusted continuously and infinitely to meet with the requirements of all welding
processes..
2.4 Volt-Ampere Characteristic
The Digi-Mig 200 welding machine has an excellent volt-ampere characteristic, shown
in the graph below. The relation between the conventional rated loading voltage U2and
the conventional welding current I2is as follows:
U2=14+0.05I2(V).

3.2 Duty Cycle and Over-heating
The letter ‘X’ stands for duty cycle,
which is defined as the proportion
of the time that a machine can work
continuously within a certain time (10
minutes). The rated duty cycle means
the proportion of the time that a
machine can work continuously within
10 minutes when it outputs the rated
welding current.
The relation between the duty cycle ‘X’
and the output welding current ‘I’ is
shown as the figure on the right.
If the transformer over-heats, the heat relay inside will open and send an instruction to
the circuit board, cut AC relay and the output welding current. The over-heat pilot
lamp in the front panel is lit.
At this point, the machine should be turned off for 15 minutes to cool the fan. When
operating the machine again, the welding output current or the duty cycle should be
reduced.

3.6 Mig gun operation
3.6.1 Service the wire feed mechanism every time the reel is changed:
– Check the wear of the feed roll groove and change the feed roll as necessary.
– Clean the welding gun wire guide with compressed air.
3.6.2 Cleaning the wire guide
Remove all metal dust from the feed rollers which may be caused by over
tightening the top tension arm. This will prevent dust from entering the wire
guide causing potential wire feed problems. If the wire guide is not cleaned it
gradually clogs up and causes wire feed malfunctions. Clean the wire guide in
the following manner:
– Remove the welding gun’s gas nozzle, contact tip and contact tip’s adapter.
– With a pneumatic pistol, blow compressed air through the wire guide.
– Blow the wire feed mechanism and reel housing clean with compressed air.
– Reattach the welding gun’s parts. Tighten the contact tip and contact tip’s
adapter.
3.6.3 Changing the wire guide
If the wire guide is too worn or totally clogged, replace according to the
following instructions:
– Open the mounting nut of the wire guide to expose the end of the wire guide.
– Straighten the welding gun’s cable and withdraw the wire guide from the gun.
– Push a new wire guide in to the gun up to the contact tip’s adapter until it
reaches an O-ring at the machine-end of the guide.
– Tighten the wire guide in place with the mounting nut.
– Cut the wire guide 2mm from the mounting nut and file the sharp edges of
the cut round.
– Reattach the gun in place and tighten the parts.
