® arcweld 180C MIG is a multi-purpose 3 in 1 welding power source. It is capable of MIG welding (both gas-shielded and gasless flux-cored welding), stick and TIG welding of mild and stainless steel materials. Its characteristics are high production efficiency, excellent welding output and easy to carry out all-position welding.
INPUT VOLTAGE Do not weld on closed containers. ® arcweld 180C MIG machine is to be provided with a 220V± 10% input voltage, PLEASE SEE ADDITIONAL WARNING INFORMATION 50/60Hz. AT THE FRONT OF THIS OPERATOR’S MANUAL. An output guide is provided in the technical specification section of this manual.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Temperature Range Operating Temperature Range -10° C ~ +40° C(14° F~104° F) Storage Temperature Range -25° C ~ +55° C(-13° F~131° F) (1) Based upon 10 minute time period(i.e., for 30% duty cycle, it is 3 minutes on and 7 minutes off) (2) Power Source only.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION LG150C MIG Torch (Gun) Illustration The LG150C MIG torch is composed of the Euro connector, connecting cable and handle. There is a gooseneck installed in the handle of the torch. The gas diffuser distributes shielding gas in the nozzle to provide even shield for the welding arc. A switch on the handle controls the welding output.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION kVA: Power (kVA) Percentage A/V ~ A/V: Output range. Rated min and rated max welding current and related load voltage. Duty Cycle: The rated duty cycle of a Welding Power Source, is a statement of the time it may be operated at its rated welding current output without exceeding the temperature limits of the component parts.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION Power supply configure of a welder: Item ® arcweld 180C MIG Circuit breaker(A) ≥2.5 Power cord(mm2) Notice: The melting current of the fuse is 1.2~1.5 times its rated current. The installation and connection for MIG welding * Select a suitable filler wire according to process being used (Lincoln Ultramag S6 for MIG and Innershield NR211MP for gasless flux cored welding).
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION * Release the wire tensioning device on the drive rolls, insert the filler wire end into the inlet guide tube of wire feeder, align wire with the drive roll groove and feed a short length into the torch connector so that it protrudes out of the front panel, then replace the tensioner over the wire.
OPERATION Front Panel Controls 1. Welding mode selector knob 2 Wire speed knob 3. current/voltage adjustment knob 4. Arc force knob 5. Wire Inching Button 6. Warning indicator 7. Power indicator Note:- * The ‘protection indicator light’ will come on if the duty cycle is exceeded. It shows that the inner temperature is over the permitted level, the machine should be stopped being used to allow it cool down.
OPERATION Welding Getting started Work Piece cleaning Before Welding The joint to be welded must be clean, remove existing rust, greasy dirt, water and paint etc. MIG welding steps a) Before welding * Install the MIG torch, gas and welding wire, and then turn on the power switch. The power indicator is on and fan works.

Gasless (Innershield) Wire welding steps a) Before welding ® 180C , connect MIG torch lead to “-” and the work arcweld * Change the polarity on the front of the cable lead to “+”. * Set the welding mode button on MIG * Install the gun, and welding wire, and then turn on the power switch.
MAINTANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE n order to guarantee the arc welding machine works efficiently and safely, it must be maintained regularly. Refer to the maintenance items in the following table. ● Warning: For safety while maintaining the machine, please disconnect the supply power and wait for 5 minutes, until capacitor voltage drops to safe voltage.
