TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION
COMPLIANCE PLATE
Duty Cycle
The welder’s duty cycle is the number of minutes in a 10-minute period the power source can safety produce the set
welding current (actual arc on). If this is exceeded the machine will enter thermal overload, turning the welding current off
protecting the welder. This is indicated by the light on the front panel. The fan will continue to cool the power source
during thermal overload.
For example:
• At 90 amps the welder will MIG continuously for 6 mins and needs to rest for 4 mins.
• At 70 amps the welder will MIG continuously or 100% of the time.
The duty cycle is tested at 40 degrees Celsius, if the welder is operating in lower temperature e.g., 20 degrees Celsius the
duty cycle will be higher.
INPUT PLUG
The MIG145 is fitted with a 10amp plug. This machine is designed to work with 10amp domestic wall sockets. It is important
that the machine is plugged directly into the mains plug. If an extension cord must be used a minimum 2.5mm wire thickness is
required and no more than 10m in length.
Using unsuitable extension cords will reduce the input voltage (known as voltage drop) and this will void the warranty of your
machine.
OPERATING ENVIRONMENT
• Operating temperature: -10℃~40℃.
• Transportation and storage: -25℃~55℃.
• Relative air humidity: 40℃ ≤ 50%; 20℃ ≤ 90%.
• The dust, acids, corrosive gases, and substance in the ambient air must be not higher than normal level.
• Altitude must be less than 1km.
• Good ventilation around the machine, at a distance of at least 50cm around.
• Power source must be kept on a level surface to reduce the risk of the machine falling.
