SECTION 3- OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT
OPERATION
After being installed according to the prescribed method, switch the power to on (rear panel) and the POWER
LED will light and the fan will turn on.
Using the rocker switch on the front panel choose the welding process desired (MIg or Stick).
Pay attention to the polarity when making connections of the machine cable (feeder) & work/ ground cables.
MIG OPERATION (Solid Wire Welding)
(A)
Insert the welding torch into the output socket on the front panel of the machine, and tighten it.
(B)
Connect the gas regulator to the welding gas cylinder (solid wire welding, possibly not used for flux
core wire welding)
(C)
attach the gas hose to the regulator and connect to the gas port on the rear of the
machine (see diagram below). Make sure to open the cylinder valve slowly. Then slowly open regulator
valve to avoid damage to the regulator.
(D)
Insert the cable plug from the work / ground clamp into the (-) output terminal on the front panel of
the welding machine, and tighten it clockwise.
(E)
Insert the machine cable plug of the wire feeder into the (+) output terminal on the middle plate on
the front panel of the welding machine, and tighten it clockwise.
(F)
Install the wire spool on the spindle adapter (under hinged cover on the side of the machine), Spool
is installed to unwind in a counter clockwise direction with the wire feeding off the bottom of the spool.
Ensure that the groove size on the drive roll matches the wire size as well as the contact tip size of the
welding torch.
(G)
Release the pressure arm of the wire feeder and
(H)
thread the wire through the guide
tube, and onto the drive roll groove. Close the pressure arm and adjust the pressure arm, ensuring no
sliding of the wire (too high of a pressure will lead to wire distortion, which will affect wire feeding).
(I)
Press the manual wire feeding button to thread the wire through the torch and out the contact tip.
