INSTALLATION & OPERATION OF MIG
The machine is equipped with a power voltage regulator. When power voltage moves between ± 10 % of rated
voltage, it will still work normally. Should an extension cable be required (not recommended), a cord gauge of not
less than 2.5mm is suggested and not longer than 10 metres.
To prevent t h e m a l function o f t h e cooling s y s t e m m a k e s u r e the fan i n t a k e o f the m ac h i n e i s not covere d o r b locked .
A. Connect the flow meter to the gas bottle and a gas hose to the back of the machine, for MIG welding connect
the hose to CO2 fitting and for TIG welding connect the hose to Argon fitting, secure gas bottle to the back of
the machine so it cannot fall over.
B. Connect the earth cable Jack plug onto the negative dinse connector output and the clamp on to the work
piece.
C. Choose drive roll and contact tip according to wire size, Fit the MIG wire on to the spool adaptor and ensure wire
direction is a clockwise rotation to let wire out over the top and in to the motor.
D. Loosen the pressure wheel, fit wire through the spring inlet guide over drive roll and through the brass outlet guide,
close pressure wheel and adjust pressure so wire feeds through but can slip if wire gets jammed.
E. Fit the wire into the torch by hand and then tighten the torch on to the euro output socket.
F. Press the inch button to feed wire to the end of torch tip. Weld with a distance/stick out of about 10 times the wire
thickness.(0.8 = 8mm)
1. Turn the mode selector switch to MIG. Adjust the voltage, choke and wire speed (amperage) knob to the correct
settings based on the thickness of the work piece and wire diameter.
2. Open the valve of the gas cylinder and adjust the flow rate to 10 – 15 LPM (Liters per Minute).
3. Press the torch switch to feed out the wire and gas and begin to work.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION OF MMA
1. Turn the mode selector switch to MMA.
2. The electrode holder and earth clamp are easily connected to the machine by inserting the quick connector and
twisting it clockwise. Always ensure a tight fit. The welder does have the ability to be used for Straight Polarity or
Reverse Polarity. We recommend you connect the polarity in accordance with the electrode recommendations. If
the polarity is connected incorrectly it will cause an unstable arc, spatter, and/or the electrode to stick.
3. Set the amperage knob according to type and size of welding rod being used and the arc force to the desired
penetration required.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION OF TIG
1. Turn the mode selector switch to TIG. Connect the Argon gas according to step A.
2. Open the valve of the argon gas cylinder and adjust the flow rate to 10 – 15 LPM Liters per minute.
3. The earth clamp is connected to the positive quick connector and twisting it clockwise. Always ensure a tight fit.
4. The TIG torch, gas and power cable nut is tightened to the connector on the front panel and the trigger plug to the
front panel four pin receptacle.
5. Press the switch of the torch, the gas valve clicks and HF can be heard, at the same time Argon gas is flowing
from the TIG torch. NOTES: When switching machine ON, trigger the torch to disperse air out the pipes and to let
the Argon gas flow through. After welding, Argon gas will still flow out for several seconds (Post flow) in order to
protect the welding spot and to cool the tungsten.
6. Adjust welding current and make sure the welding current is adequate for the thickness of the material.
7. The welding tungsten tip is held 2 to 4mm away from the material, press the torch trigger an arc will jump from the
tungsten to the work piece striking an arc the HF sound will stop. DC TIG welding is very quiet process.
