  • Page 27 OPERATION FABRICATOR 211i CAUTION Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the bayonet terminal. 8. Negative Welding Output Terminal The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate welding accessory such as the MIG gun (via the MIG polarity lead), TIG torch or work lead.
  • Page 28 FABRICATOR 211i OPERATION 10. Multifunction Control - Voltage, Down Slope & Arc Force The multifunction control knob is used to adjust Voltage (MIG Mode), Down slope (LIFT TIG Mode) and Arc Force (STICK Mode) depending on the welding mode selected.
  • Page 29 OPERATION FABRICATOR 211i 4T Latch Mode This mode of welding is mainly used for long welding runs to reduce operator fatigue. In this mode the opera- tor can press and release the torch trigger and the output will remain active. To deactivate the power source, the trigger switch must again be depressed and realised, thus eliminating the need for the operator to hold the torch trigger.
  • Page 30 FABRICATOR 211i OPERATION 16. On / Off Switch This Single Phase circuit breaker performs a dual function. It is used to turn the unit on/off and it will also trip in the event of a fault. WARNING When the front digital displays are lit, the machine is connected to the Mains supply voltage and the internal electrical components are at Mains voltage potential.

  • Page 31: Attaching Mig Gun

    21. Cooling Fan The Fabricator 211i is fitted with a fan as needed feature. Fan as needed automatically switches the cooling fan off when it is not required. This has two main advantages; (1) to minimize power consumption, and (2) to minimise the amount of contaminants such as dust that are drawn into the power source.

  • Page 33: Inserting Wire Into The Wire Feed Mechanism

    OPERATION FABRICATOR 211i 4.05 Inserting Wire into the Wire Feed Mechanism Release the tension from the pressure roller by turning the adjustable wire drive tension screw in an anti-clockwise direction. Then to release the pressure roller arm push the tension screw toward the front of the machine which releases the pressure roller arm (Figure 4-8).

  • Page 34: Feed Roller Pressure Adjustment

    FABRICATOR 211i OPERATION 4.06 Feed Roller Pressure Adjustment The pressure (top) roller applies pressure to the grooved feed roller via an adjustable pressure screw. These devices should be adjusted to a minimum pressure that will provide satisfactory WIREFEED without slippage. If slipping occurs, and inspection of the wire contact tip reveals no wear, distortion or burn back jam, the conduit liner should be checked for kinks and clogging by metal flakes and swarf.

  • Page 35: Wire Reel Brake

    OPERATION FABRICATOR 211i 4.08 Wire Reel Brake The wire reel hub incorporates a friction brake which is adjusted during manufacture for optimum braking. If it is considered necessary, adjustment can be made by turning the Thumb Screw inside the open end of the hub clockwise to tighten the brake.
