    3. INSTALLATION Worker and working area protection Fumes and gases produced by welding are dangerous for your health. Ventilation in workplace must be adequate to remove all harmful fumes and gases but not too strong since it could remove the shielding gas flowing over work piece.

  • Page 13: Shielding Gas Connection

    Shielding gas connection Gas hose can be found in the accessory kit. Fasten your gas regulator onto gas bottle then connect it with the machine using supplied gas hose. Installation of wire reel Open the side cover and unscrew reel brake cover. Mount the reel in such way that one end of wire hangs downwards.

    4. OPERATION Duty cycle and overheating Duty Cycle is percentage of 10 minutes that unit can weld at rated load without overheating. If unit overheats, thermostat(s) opens, output stops, and cooling fan runs. Wait fifteen minutes for unit to cool. Reduce amperage or duty cycle before welding.

  • Page 16: Setting In Operation

    Setting in operation Set the main switch (1) in ''ON'' position. Turn the wire speed knob (3) counterclockwise, press the torch button and adjust the gas flow with regulator. Regulate gas flow during operation in position »Gas test«. In this position there is no welding current on the tip and the wire feeder is switched off.

  • Page 17: Mig (Gmaw) Welding Guidelines

    5. MIG (GMAW) welding guidelines Work piece preparation Welding joint describes the welding spot and exact position of work pieces to be welded together. Work piece preparation, groove form and width, material type and thickness, together with certain welding technique all determine joint type. Around the groove work pieces should be dry and clean, free of rust, metallic coating, dirt, colour or grease.

Both tables refer to mild steel welding with ArCO or pure CO gas. Wire Welding Welding Welding Thickness Gas flow diameter current voltage...

  • Page 19: Positioning The Welding Torch

    Positioning the welding torch Welding wire is energised when the torch button is pressed. Lower your helmet first and then press the trigger. Wire should be around ½ in past end of nozzle, and tip of wire positioned correctly on seam. 1……..

  • Page 20: Gun Movement During Welding

    Gun movement during welding Weld bead shape as well as penetration and overall joint quality are affected by torch angle, direction of travel, electrode extension, travel speed, thickness of base material, wire feed speed, and voltage. Using constant parameters welding material deposit and penetration varies with torch travel speed.

  • Page 21: Welding Results And Troubleshooting

    Welding results and troubleshooting GOOD WELD BEAD 1…….. Fine spatter 2…….. Uniform bead 3…….. Moderate crater during welding 4…….. No overlap 5…….. Good penetration into base material POOR WELD BEAD 1…….. Large spatter deposits 2…….. Rough, uneven bead 3…….. Slight crater during welding 4……..
  • Page 22 Excessive spatter Scattering of molten metal particles that cool to solid near weld bead. Possible causes Corrective actions Wire feed speed too high. Select lower wire feed speed. Voltage too high. Select lower voltage. Electrode extension too long. Use shorter electrode extension. Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, undercoating, Work piece dirty.
  • Page 23 Excessive penetration Weld metal melting through base metal and hanging underneath it. Possible causes Corrective actions Select lower voltage range and reduce wire feed speed. Excessive heat input. Increase travel speed. Lack of penetration Shallow fusion between weld metal and base metal. Possible causes Corrective actions Material too thick.
  • Page 24 Incomplete fusion Failure of weld metal to fuse completely with base metal or a preceding weld bead. Possible causes Corrective actions Remove all grease, oil, moisture, rust, paint, undercoating, Work piece dirty. and dirt from work surface before welding. Place stringer bead in correct location(s) at joint during Improper welding technique.
