MACHINE CARE / SAFETY Keep the welding cables, earth clamp and electrode holder in good condition. Failure to do this can result in poor welding quality, which could be dangerous in structural situations. Prior to use, check for breakage of parts and any other conditions that may affect operation of the welder. Any part of the welder that is damaged should be carefully checked to determine whether it will perform its intended function whilst being safe for the operator.
WORK AREA Ensure a clear, well lit work area with unrestricted movement for the operator. The work area should be well ventilated, as welding emits fumes which can be dangerous. Always maintain easy access to the ON/OFF switch of the welder, and the electrical mains supply. Do not expose the welder to rain and do not operate in damp or wet locations Where welding must be undertaken in environments with increased risk of electric shock, confined spaces or in the presence of flammable or explosive materials, it is important that the environment be evaluated in advance...
MAINTENANCE WARNING Before starting any cleaning, or maintenance procedures on the welding machine, make sure that it is switched OFF and disconnected from the mains supply. There are no user serviceable parts inside the welder. Refer to a qualified service personnel if any internal maintenance is required.

DUTY CYCLE: Special note: If this welders duty cycle is exceeded the welder will enter “thermal overload” which will automatically stop the welding output in order to protect, both the user and the welder. You will know the welder has gone into thermal overload when the thermal overload light is illuminated. The welder will then cool itself down, and once the thermal overload indicator light is no longer illuminated, welding can then re-commence.

BASIC MIG WELDING GUIDE The welding power supply has two control settings that have to balance. These are voltage control switches and the wire speed control. The welding amperage is determined by the voltage settings, the wire diameter, gas selection and the wire feed speed. The amperage will increase with higher voltage selection on the machine and higher wire feed speed.

GMAW (MIG) WELDING Metal inert gas (MIG) welding is an attractive alternative to MMA (stick welding), offering high deposition rates and high productivity. PROCESS CHARACTERISTICS MIG welding is a versatile technique suitable for both thin sheet and thick section components. An arc is struck between the end of a wire electrode and the workpiece, melting both of them to form a weld pool.
