Welding GMAW, FCAW-SS Process in
Manual Mode
In BesterMig 200-S can be set:
BesterMig 200-S

The welding load voltage

Wire Feed Speed

Inductance

Material thickness
The 2-Step - 4-Step changes the function of the gun's
trigger.

2 Step trigger operation turns welding on and off in
direct response to the trigger. Welding process is
performed when the gun's trigger is pulled.

4-Step mode allows to continue welding, when the
gun's trigger is released. To stop welding, the gun's
trigger is pulled again. 4-step mode facilitates to
making long welds.
WARNING
4-Step does not work during Spot Welding.
Welding SMAW (MMA) Process
BesterMig 200-S include the electrode holder with lead
necessary for SMAW welding.
Procedure of begin welding of SMAW process:

First turn the machine off.

Determine the electrode polarity for the electrode to be
used. Consult the electrode data for this information.

Depending on the polarity of using electrode, connect
the work lead and the electrode holder with lead to
output socket [10] or [11] (Figure 2) and lock them.
See the Table 1.


Install the proper electrode in the electrode holder.

Turn the welding machine on.

Set welding mode to MMA [6] Figure 2.

Set the welding parameters.

The welding machine is now ready to weld.

By applying the principle of occupational health and
safety at welding, welding can be begun.

Welding GTAW Process
BesterMig 200-S can be used to GTAW process with DC
(-). Arc ignition can be achieved only by lift TIG method
(contact ignition and lift ignition).
BesterMig 200-S does not include the torch to GTAW
welding, but the one can be purchased separately. See
"Accessories" chapter.
Procedure of begin welding of GTAW process:

First turn the machine off.

Connect GTAW torch to [11] output socket.

Connect the work lead to [10] output socket.

Connect the work lead to the welding piece with the
work clamp.

Install the proper tungsten electrode in the GTAW
torch.

Turn the machine on.

Set up welding mode to GTAW [6] Figure 2

Set the welding parameters.

The welding machine is now ready to weld.

By applying the principle of occupational health and
safety at welding, welding can be begun.
