Manual 0-5492 5-9 MIG (GMAW) WELDING
F. Place the MIG wire spool onto the spool holder. Refer to sections 5.03 for 100mm diameter spools or 5.04
for 200mm diameter spools.
G. Feed wire through the wire drive mechanism. Refer to section 5.05.
H. Connect the work lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the wire manufacturer.
Welding current flows from the Power Source via Dinse terminals. It is essential, however, that the male
plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
I. Fit the welding grade shielding gas regulator/flowmeter to the shielding gas cylinder (refer to Section 5.01)
then connect the shielding gas hose from the shielding gas regulator/flowmeter outlet to the quick connect
Shielding Gas Inlet fitting gas on the rear of the WeldSkill 155 or WeldSkill 185 Power Source. Ensure that
the shielding gas hose connection is sufficiently tight at the regulator connection and the quick connect
fitting "locks" into place correctly on the rear of the power source.
J. As a guide for the welding parameter settings for the welding job refer to the Weld Guide located on the
inside of the wirefeed compartment door. Power Source settings are adjusted using the front panel controls.
Refer to section 4.02.
