GUIDE TO MIG/MAG WELDING
Before starng any welding acvity ensure that you have suitable eye protecon and
protecve clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the welding
area.
Wire inch switch
The wire inch buon when pressed and held allows the operang to acvate the feed motor which in turn
feeds the welding wire through the MIG torch cable, torch head and p.
Burn back control dial:
In the event that the welder was to stop welding and all funcons of the machine stopped simultaneously
then the consumable ller wire would in all likelihood freeze in the weld pool. In order to avoid this
happening the burn back feature is present on this machine.
The burnback control is used to adjust and set the amount of ‘sck out’ MIG wire that protrudes from the
MIG torch p aer the torch trigger has been released and welding has stopped.
To decrease burnback me (or lengthen the amount of wire scking out from the MIG torch p at the end
of welding), turn the burnback control knob an clockwise.
To increase burnback me (or shorten the amount of wire scking out from the p at the end of weld),
turn the Burnback Control knob clockwise.
The burn back control dial is located on the inside panel next to the wire feed motor.
Inductance control (MIG 352C only)
Variable inductance control (see page 13 for reference) allows you to tune the welding arc to suit your
welding applicaon, this is used to minimise spaer and to control the arc from crisp through to so.
Lowering the inductance is ideal when welding with smaller diameter wires for a crisp stable arc with
maximum deposion & minimum heat into the work piece.
Increasing inductance soens the arc giving more penetraon, reduces spaer & increases heang of
the work piece
Some quick reference handy ps for the MIG/MAG welding process are:
 When welding, try to use an electrode sck out (the distance between the weld and the contact p)
of around 6-8mm.
 When welding thin materials try and use smaller MIG wire diameters and for thicker materials use
thicker wires.
 Make sure you select the correct MIG wire type for the material to be welded.
 Ensure the MIG welding gun has the correct sized contact p and type of liner.
 Always ensure you have the correct size drive rolls and torch liner for the wire size selected.
 Select the correct gas to achieve the correct weld characteriscs and nish.
 For opmum control of the weld keep the wire at the leading edge of the weld pool.
 Before commencing welding, ensure a comfortable and stable posion.
 Try to keep the welding torch as straight as possible when welding to ensure the best feed.
 Carry out daily housekeeping on the condion of the welding torch and drive rolls.
 Keep any consumables clean and dry to avoid contaminaon such as oxidaon and damp.
