NOTE:
Slowly open the cylinder valve by turning it counterclockwise unl the cylinder pressure
gauge registers on the rst gauge of the regulator. Turn the adjustment knob clockwise
(right) slowly to increase gas ow to 15 lpm. To reduce the gas ow turn the adjustment
counterclockwise (le). The gas valve is located on the back panel of the welder and
acvated by the trigger. Gas ow should be heard when the trigger is acvated. No gas
ow will result in a harsh arc with excessive spaer, a smooth weld bead will be dicult to
obtain. Avoid unnecessary gas loss by closing the tank valve when nished welding.
6.3. Gas selecon
Dierent materials require dierent shielding gas when MIG welding, refer to the set up
chart inside the wire feed compartment.
Mild steel: Use gas mix consisng of Coregas 52 Argon 93%, CO2 5% and OXY 2%.
Stainless steel: Use a gas mix consisng of Coregas Sheildpro 20 Argon 98% and CO2 2%.
Aluminum or silicone bronze: Use 100% Argon.
Operaon
WARNING:
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualied electrician for proper
installaon of receptacle at the power source. This welder must be grounded while in use
to protect the operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualied electrician. Do not cut o the grounding prong or
alter the plug in any way and do not use any adapters between the welder’s power cord
and the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF before connecng
your welder’s power cord to a properly grounded 240VAC(220v-240v), 50/60Hz, single
phase, 15 amp power source.
The MIG Welding Operaon
1. Main Control Component
Power switch - The power switch supplies electrical current to the welder. When the
power switch is in the ON posion, the welding circuit is acvated. ALWAYS turn the power
switch to the OFF posion and unplug the welder before performing any maintenance.
AMP & VOLT Voltage selector - The voltage selector controls the welding heat. This
unit has innite voltage control. Refer to the label inside the welder side door for
recommended voltage selector sengs for your welding job.
Wire speed control - The wire speed control adjusts the speed at which the wire is fed out
of the welding torch. The wire speed needs to be closely matched (tuned-in) to the rate at
which it is being melted o. Some things that aect wire speed selecon are the type and
diameter of the wire being used, the heat seng selected, and the welding posion to be
used.
Note: The wire will feed faster without an arc. When an arc is being drawn, the wire speed
will slow down.
2. Hold the Torch
The best way to hold the welding torch is the way that feels most comfortable to you.
While praccing to use your new welder, experiment holding the torch in dierent
posions unl you nd the one that seems to work best for you.
