Safety Guidelines These general safety norms cover both arc welding machines and plasma cutting machines unless otherwise noted. The equipment must only be used for the purpose it was designed for. Using it in any other way could result in damage or injury and in breach of the safety rules. Only suitably trained and competent persons should use the equipment.

Wear suitable protective flame resistant clothing. The sparks and spatter from welding, hot work pieces, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause arcs, explosion, overheating, or fire.

LF Declaration Consult the data plate on the equipment for the power supply requirements. Due to the elevated absorbency of the primary current from the power supply network, high power systems affect the quality of power provided by the network. Consequently, connection restrictions or maximum impedance requirements permitted by the network at the public network connection point must be applied to these systems.
For your own safety and that of your working environment, pay particular attention to the safety instructions in the manual. For more information on SifWeld products, consult an authorised SifWeld dealer, or visit the SifWeld web site at www.sifweld.com.

1.2 Introduction The SifWELD MTS200SYN is a professional, digital controlled inverter welding powersource for MIG, MMA & Lift-TIG applications. Using the built in Synergic facility the machine will automatically give the optimum welding parameters for the specific material, wire size and shielding gas. featuring IGBT technology and providing a lightweight, multi-process machine.
2. Control Panels 1. Screen It displays welding current and welding voltage or other parameters, error codes. 2. Welding mode button Press it to select MMA/ TIG Lift/ MIG Manual/ MIG Synergic and Spool Gun welding mode. 3. Gas check button Press it to check whether the machine isn’t air-connected or the gas passage isn’t smooth.
2.1 MMA Display 1. Welding mode button Press it to enter MMA welding mode. 2. Left parameter knob Rotate it to welding current. 3. Right parameter knob Press it to select Hot Start or Arc Force and rotate it to adjust values. Hot start Hot start provides extra power when the weld starts to counteract the high resistance of the electrode and workpiece as the arc is started.
2.2 LIFT TIG display 1. Welding mode button Press it to enter Lift TIG welding mode. 2. Left parameter knob Rotate it to adjust welding current. In function interface, rotate it to select parameters, such as trigger mode and Post Flow time. 3.

PANEL FUNCTIONS & DESCRIPTIONS 4T MODE This is known as ’latching’ mode. The trigger is pulled once and released to activate the welding circuit, welding circuit, pulled and released again to stops the welding circuit. This function is pulled and released again to stops the welding circuit. This function is useful to longer welds as the useful to longer welds as the trigger is not required to be held on continuously.

cannot keep up with, which makes the welding wire and workpiece disconnected. T phenomenon is called “burn back”. This function is to ensure the welding seam is beautiful after welding. Range: 0-10. Burnback Short-circuit between welding wire and molten pool leads to the increase of current, which leads to the Slow feed melting speed of welding wire too fast, and the wire feeding speed cannot keep up with, which makes the welding wire and workpiece disconnected.

3. Installation Unpacking Check the packaging for any signs of damage. Carefully remove the machine and retain the packaging until the installation is complete. Location The machine should be located in a suitable position and environment. Care should be taken to avoid moisture, dust, steam, oil or corrosive gases.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION §4 Installation & Operation MMA Welding Two sockets are available on this welding machine, One Positive (+) and one Negative (-) polarity, to connect MMA/Electrode holder cable and earth clamp cable. Various electrodes require different §4.1 Installation & Operation for MMA Electrode Welding polarity for optimum results and careful attention should be paid to the polarity, refer to the electrode §4.1.1 Set-Up Installation manufacturers information for the correct polarity.

3.1 Wire Feed Roller The importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. Simply put the smoother the wire feed then the better the weld. Feed rollers or drive rollers are used to feed the wire mechanically through the length of the welding gun cable.
§4.3.3 Wire Installation and Set-Up Guide 3.2 Wire Installation & Setup The importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire The importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. feed unit is critical to achieving an even and consistent wire feed.

3.3 MIG Torch liner Types MIG Torch Liners The liner is both one of the simplest and most important components of a MIG gun. Its sole purpose is to guide the welding wire from the wire feeder, through the gun cable and up to the contact tip. Steel Liners Most MIG gun liners are made from coiled steel wire also known as piano wire, which provides the liner with good rigidity and flexibility and allows it to guide the welding wire smoothly through the welding...
4. Operation Before starting any welding activity ensure that you have suitable eye protection and protective clothing. Also take the necessary steps to protect any persons within the area. Wire types and sizes Use the correct wire type for the base metal being welded. Use stainless steel wire for stainless steel, alumi- num for aluminum and steel wires for steel.
