Overview

The STARK PRO SERIES AUTO FEED MIG 130 WELDING WELDER (Item: 55019) is a 110/220V welding machine designed for various welding applications. This owner's manual provides essential safety information, detailed specifications, operational instructions, and maintenance guidelines to ensure safe and effective use of the product.

Function Description:

The MIG 130 Welder is an auto-feed MIG welding machine primarily designed for flux-cored welding. It is suitable for both hobbyists and professionals for a range of welding tasks. The auto-feed mechanism simplifies the welding process by automatically feeding the welding wire, making it easier to achieve consistent welds. The machine is capable of handling different types of weld joints, including butt welds, corner welds, edge welds, lap welds, tee welds, and plug welds. It operates on a 110/220V power supply, offering flexibility for different work environments.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Voltage: 115 V / 60 Hz Single Phase
  • Duty Cycle: 10% at 105 AMP, 35% at 60 AMP
  • Max Open Voltage: 37V
  • Weldable Wires:
    • 0.023" to 0.035" steel and stainless steel
    • 0.030" to 0.035" aluminum
    • 0.030" flux-cored
  • Mains Fuse: 13 A
  • Circuit Breaker: 30A
  • Weight: 35 LBS
  • Material: Steel Frame / Aluminum Body
  • Dimensions: 13.4" x 7.3" x 11.4"
  • Size of Mask: 7.87" x 9.5"
  • Power Cord Length: 7.5"
  • Cord of Welding Gun: 65"
  • Max Output Current: 15% at 105 AMP
  • Input Power: Requires a dedicated 120 AC, 60 Hz power input. If using an extension cord, a minimum 12 AWG cord for up to 25 feet is recommended.

Usage Features:

The MIG 130 Welder is equipped with several features to enhance its usability and performance:

  • Variable Feed Speed Control: Allows the user to adjust the wire feed speed for optimal welding performance based on the material and thickness.
  • Torch With Full On / Off Safety Control: Provides a safety mechanism to control the welding torch, preventing accidental starts.
  • Automatic Thermal Safety Protection: Protects the machine from overheating, extending its lifespan and ensuring safe operation.
  • Adjustable 4-setting Heating: Offers different heat settings to accommodate various welding tasks and material types.
  • Gas Less Welder: Designed to operate with flux-cored wire, eliminating the need for external shielding gas cylinders, which makes it more portable and convenient for outdoor use.
  • Drive Roller Adjustment: The drive roller can be adjusted to accommodate different wire sizes (0.030" or 0.035" flux-core wire). The manual provides a step-by-step procedure for changing the drive roller and installing the wire spool.
  • Wire Installation: Detailed instructions are provided for threading the welding wire through the drive motor to the welding gun, including removing the contact tip and nozzle, ensuring proper drive roller position, and cutting the wire to the correct length.
  • Welding Process: The manual outlines a baseline welding process, including connecting the ground clamp to a clean work piece, assessing the weld area, plugging in the welder, depressing the trigger to feed wire, positioning the welding gun, and observing the molten puddle to adjust movement speed and voltage.
  • Troubleshooting Guide: A comprehensive table is included to help diagnose and fix common issues such as excessive spatter, lack of weld penetration, burning holes in the work piece, mains indicator not lit, and the welder not operating with the trigger pressed.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance is crucial for the longevity and safe operation of the MIG 130 Welder. The manual emphasizes several key maintenance aspects:

  • Regular Inspection: Users are advised to inspect the work area and the product for damaged parts before each use. Any damaged or worn parts should be replaced immediately.
  • Cleaning Procedures: The manual recommends unplugging the welder from its electrical outlet before any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
  • Professional Repair: All repairs and parts replacements should be undertaken by certified and licensed technicians. The manufacturer and/or distributor do not warrant that the buyer is qualified to make repairs.
  • Label and Nameplate Maintenance: Users should maintain labels and nameplates on the welder as they carry important information. Replacements can be obtained from Stark Tools if unreadable or missing.
  • Cylinder Protection: If using gas shielding equipment (though this model is gasless, the general safety warnings cover cylinder use), cylinders should be protected from heat, physical damage, slag, flames, sparks, and arcs.
  • Storage: Idle welders should be stored out of the reach of children and unauthorized persons.

Safety Information:

The manual places a strong emphasis on safety, providing extensive warnings and precautions:

  • General Safety: Read and understand all instructions, do not modify the product, use the right tool for the job, inspect the work area, keep children and bystanders away, stay alert, and check for damaged parts.
  • Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wear ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety goggles, leather leggings, fire-resistant shoes/boots, dry insulating gloves, and protective clothing.
  • Fume Hazards: Keep head out of fumes, use adequate ventilation or an approved respirator, and work in well-ventilated areas. Exposure to welding fumes can lead to serious health issues, including various cancers and respiratory diseases.
  • Electrical Safety: Turn off and disconnect power before service, do not touch energized electrical parts, wear dry insulating gloves, connect to a grounded, GFCI-protected power supply, and do not expose welders to rain or wet conditions.
  • Fire Hazards: Clear away or protect flammable objects within a 35-foot radius, use fire-resistant materials, and always keep a fire extinguisher nearby. Do not weld on materials with combustible coatings or internal structures.
  • Cylinder Safety: Never weld on a pressurized or closed cylinder, keep cylinders away from electrical circuits, and protect gas cylinders from damage.
  • Pacemaker Warning: Individuals with pacemakers should consult their physician before use due to potential electromagnetic interference.

The STARK PRO SERIES AUTO FEED MIG 130 WELDING WELDER is a robust and versatile tool, designed with user safety and operational efficiency in mind. Adhering to the guidelines provided in the manual will ensure optimal performance and a safe working environment.
