4-9. Electrical Service Guide For 230 VAC Actual input voltage should not exceed 10% of indicated required input voltage. If actual input voltage is outside of this range, output may not be available. 50/60 Hz Single Phase Input Voltage Input Amperes At Rated Output 17.7 Max Recommended Standard Fuse Rating In Amperes Circuit Breaker...
4-11. Selecting A Location And Connecting Input Power Do Not cut off power cord connector and rewire. The power cord connector and plugs will work with standard NEMA receptacles. Modifying power cord, connector, and plugs will void product warranty. Do not move or operate unit where it could tip.
4-13. Installing And Threading Welding Wire Installing Wire And Adjusting Hub Tension: Hold wire tightly to keep Retaining Nut it from unraveling. Hub Tension Adjustment Screw Remove retaining ring, and install spool so hub pin fits spool hole. Re- install retaining nut. Adjust tension screw so only a slight force is needed to turn spool.
SECTION 5 − OPERATION 5-1. Controls Voltage Control Turn control clockwise to increase voltage. The Voltage Control range from minimum to 7 is for 115 V input power. The full range from minimum to maximum (10) is for 230 V input power.

8-2. Typical MIG Process Control Settings NOTE These settings are guidelines only. Material and wire type, joint design, fitup, position, shielding gas, etc. affect settings. Test welds to be sure they comply to specifications. Low voltage: wire stubs into work Select voltage and wire feed High voltage: arc is unstable (spatter) speed from parameter chart...
8-3. Holding And Positioning Welding Gun NOTE Welding wire is energized when gun trigger is pressed. Before lowering helmet and pressing trigger, be sure wire is no more than 1/2 in (13 mm) past end of nozzle, and tip of wire is positioned correctly on seam. Hold Gun and Control Gun Trigger Workpiece...
8-4. Conditions That Affect Weld Bead Shape NOTE Weld bead shape depends on gun angle, direction of travel, electrode extension (stickout), travel speed, thickness of base metal, wire feed speed (weld current), and voltage. Push Perpendicular Drag GUN ANGLES AND WELD BEAD PROFILES Short Normal Long...
8-5. Gun Movement During Welding NOTE Normally, a single stringer bead is satisfactory for most narrow groove weld joints; however, for wide groove weld joints or bridging across gaps, a weave bead or multiple stringer beads works better. Stringer Bead − Steady Movement Along Seam Weave Bead −...
8-8. Troubleshooting − Excessive Spatter Excessive Spatter − scattering of molten metal particles that cool to solid form near weld bead. S-0636 Possible Causes Corrective Actions Wire feed speed too high. Select lower wire feed speed. Voltage too high. Select lower voltage range. Electrode extension (stickout) too long.
8-10. Troubleshooting − Excessive Penetration Excessive Penetration − weld metal melting through base metal and hanging underneath weld. Excessive Penetration Good Penetration S-0639 Possible Causes Corrective Actions Excessive heat input. Select lower voltage range and reduce wire feed speed. Increase travel speed. Wrong polarity.
8-13. Troubleshooting − Burn-Through Burn-Through − weld metal melting completely through base metal resulting in holes where no metal remains. S-0640 Possible Causes Corrective Actions Excessive heat input. Select lower voltage range and reduce wire feed speed. Increase and/or maintain steady travel speed. Wrong polarity.
8-16. Common MIG Shielding Gases This is a general chart for common gases and where they are used. Many different combinations (mixtures) of shielding gases have been developed over the years. The most commonly used shielding gases are listed in the following table.
