This welding machine for industrial and professional use is in conformity with IEC974 International Safety Standard. We hereby state that we provide one year of warranty for this welding machine since the date of purchase. See full warranty disclaimer on last page of user manual. Please read and understand this instruction manual carefully before the installation and operation of this machine.
1.SAFETY Welding and cutting is dangerous to the operator, people in or near the working area, and the surroundings if the machine is not correctly operated. Therefore, the performance of welding/cutting must only be under the strict and comprehensive observance of all relevant safety regulations. Please read and understand this instruction manual carefully before installation and operation.
2.GENERAL DESCRIPTION This welding machine is composed of an inverter MIG welder power supply with invariable voltage output external characteristics manufactured with advanced IGBT inverter technology designed by the manufacturer. With high-power component IGBT, the inverter converts the DC voltage, which is rectified from input 50Hz/60Hz AC voltage, to high frequency 20KHz AC voltage;...

5.INSTALLTION 5.1. MIG Welding Set Up & Operation 5.1.1 Fitting the spool 5.1.1.1 open the cover door for the wire feed compartment. Remove the wire spool retainer(14) by threading off counter- clockwise. 5.1.1.2 fit either a 4in or 8in diameter wire spool to the spool holder, ensuring the end of the wires exits towards the wire feeder from the bottom of the spool.

Basic welding guide MIG (GMAW/FCAW) Basic Welding Technique Two different welding processes are covered in this section (GMAW and FCAW), with the intention providing the very basic concepts in using the MIG mode of welding, where a welding gun is hand held, and the electrode (welding wire) is fed into a weld puddle, and the arc is shielded by an inert welding grade shielding gas or inert welding grade shielding gas mixture.
Page 15
The welding gun should be held at an angle to the weld joint. (See Secondary Adjustment Variables below) Hold the gun so that the welding seam is viewed at all times. Always wear the welding helmet with proper filter lenses and use the proper safety equipment.

Primary Adjustable Variables These control the process after preselected variables have been found. They control the penetration, bead width, bead height, arc stability, deposition rate and weld soundness. They are: Arc Voltage Welding current (wire feed speed) Travel speed Secondary Adjustable Variables These variables cause changes in primary adjustable variables which in turn cause the desired change in the bead formation.

For practicing MIG welding, secure some pieces of 16 or 18 gauge (0.06” 1.5mm or 0.08” 2.0mm) mild steel plate 6” x 6” (150 x 150mm). Use 0.030” (0.8mm) flux cored gasless wire or a solid wire with shielding gas Setting of the Power Source Power source and Wire-`feeder setting requires some practice by the operator, as the welding plant has two control settings that have to balance.
7.Range of welding current and voltage in CO welding Short circuit transition Granular transition Wireφ(in) Current(A) Voltage (V) Current(A) Voltage (V) 0.023 40~70 17~19 160~400 25~38 0.030 60~100 18~19 200~500 26~40 0.035 80~120 18~21 200~600 27~40 -The option of the welding speed The welding quality and productivity should be taken into consideration for the option of welding speed.
8.WELDING PARAMETERS TABLE The option of the welding current and welding voltage directly influences the welding stability, welding quality and productivity. In order to obtain the good welding quality, the welding current and welding voltage should be set optimally. Generally, the setting of weld condition should be according to the welding diameter and the melting form as well as the production requirement.

9.CAUTION 1. Working environment ⑴ Welding should be carried out in a relatively dry environment with its humidity of 90% or less. ⑵ The temperature of the working environment should be within -10C to 40C. ⑶ Avoid welding in the open air unless sheltered from sunlight and rain, and never let rain or water infiltrate the machine. ⑷...
10.MAINTENANCE 1. Disconnect input plug or power before maintenance or repair on machine. 2. Be sure input ground wire is properly connect to a ground terminal. 3. Check whether the inner gas-electricity connection is well (esp. the plugs), and tighten the loose connection; if there is oxidization, remove it with sand paper and then re-connect.
11.DAILY CHECKING To make best use of the machine, daily checking is very important. During the daily checking, please check in the order of torch, wire-feeding vehicle, all kinds of PCB, the gas hole, and so on. Remove the dust or replace some parts if necessary. To maintain the purity of the machine, please use original welding parts.
