The WeldSkill 250 and 350 MIG Power Sources are Gas
Metal Arc Welders (GMAW – commonly known as MIG)
with integrated wire feeder units. The Power Sources
are designed to meet the broad operating needs of the
modern user and meet the requirements of Australian
Standard AS 60974.1 and International Standard IEC
60974-1.
The WeldSkill 250 and 350 MIG Power Sources provide
excellent performance on mild steel, stainless steel,
aluminium, silicon bronze and some hard facing wires
with Argon based shielding gases. These Power Sources
also provide excellent results on mild steel using Carbon
Dioxide shielding gas.
The WeldSkill 250 and 350 MIG Power Sources are sup-
plied as complete packages that are ready to weld (not
including shielding gas, electrode wire and Hiderok™
welding helmet). The units can also be fitted with an
optional remote wirefeeder which provides portability
when welding in positions with limited access. The
instructions in this manual detail how to correctly set
up these machines and provide guidelines on gaining
the best production efficiency from the power source.
Please read this manual thoroughly before using your
