Controls and Operational Features
1. Thermal Protection Indicator: The machine has a
rated output duty cycle of 20%. If the duty cycle is
exceeded, thermal protector will shut off the output
until the machine cools to a normal operating
temperature. This is an automatic
machine and does not require user intervention.
2. Wire Speed Control
3. Power ON/OFF Switch: When the power is ON the
welding output and wire feeder are ON ("hot")when the
gun trigger is pressed.
4. Low / High Heat Range Switch: A rocker switch control
that gives low or high coarse range adjustment of the
power source output voltage.
5. 1 - 2 Fine Heat Adjustment Switch: Allows fine
adjustment of the voltage within the selected Low or
High output range.
Changing Polarity (only for Handy MIG)
1. For Negative Polarity welding (DC-): Refer to below
Figure. As delivered, the machine is wired for
Negative polarity with the gun cable connected to the
Negative (-) output terminal. This is the typical
configuration for Flux Cored Welding (FCAW). To
complete the installation, connect the work cable's
terminal lug to the Positive (+) output terminal. Make
sure that both thumbscrews are tigh.

2. For Positive Polarity (DC+): Refer to below Figure. To
MIG Welding
Table below shows the recommended material/gas
combinations for MIG welding with solid electrodes.
Flux-cored (Innershield) Welding
The recommended electrode for the flux-cored, selfshield
function of the
process is 0.9 mm diameter Lincoln Innershield NR-211-
MP on 0.45 kg spools.
Shielding Gas Connection (only for
Handy MIG)
When using the MIG process, you will need a cylinder of
carbon dioxide (CO2) or argon-carbon dioxide mixed
shielding gas. The regulator should be installed on the gas
cylinder. An adapter and plastic washer are needed for
using 100% CO2 gas.
1. Open the cylinder valve slowly a fraction of a turn.
2. Keep the cylinder valve closed, except when welding.

wire for Positive polarity, connect the gun cable to the
Positive (+) output terminal and the work cable to the
Negative (-) terminal. This is the typical configuration
for the Metal Inert Gas (MIG) process. Make sure that
both thumbscrews are tight.
Material
Carbon Steel
Low Alloy Steel
When the cylinder pressure gauge pointer stops
moving, open the valve fully.
When finished welding:
Close the cylinder valve to stop gas flow.
Depress the gun trigger briefly to release the
pressure in the gas hose.
Turn off the machine.
