INTRODUCTION OPERATORS’ MANUAL INVERTER MIG Arc Welding Machine ISO9001:2000 MULTIMIG series inverter IMPORTANT: Read this Owner’s Manual Completely before attempting to use this equipment. Save this manual and keep it handy for quick reference. Pay particular attention to the safety instructions we have provided for your protection. Contact your distributor if you do not fully understand this manual.
SAFETY 1 Safety § §1.1 Signal Explanation The above signals mean warning! Notice! Running parts and getting an electric shock or thermal parts will take damage for your body or others. The corresponding notices are as follows. It is quite a safe operation after taking several necessary protection measures.

SAFETY Ensure to install the equipment correctly and ground the work or metal to be welded to a good electrical (earth) ground according the operation manual. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.

SAFETY degreasing, cleaning or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with solvent vapors to form phosgene, a highly toxic gas, and other irritating products. Shielded gases used for arc welding can displace air and cause injury or death. Always use enough ventilation, especially in confined areas, to insure breathing air is safe.

SAFETY Do not spill fuel when filling tank. If fuel is spilled, wipe it up and do not start engine until fumes have been eliminated. WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire.
SAFETY Rotating parts may be dangerous. Use only compressed gas cylinders containing the correct shielding gas for the process used and properly operating regulators designed for the gas and pressure used. All hoses, fittings, etc. should be suitable for the application and maintained in good condition.

SAFETY Never coil the power cable around your body. Make sure welding machine and power cable to be far away from the operator as far as possible according to the actual circumstance. Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded.
4. IGBT technology, low power dissipation; 5. Rated duty circle is 40%(40℃). MULTIMIG 160/200 has another feature: Synergic control of the welding current and voltage. MIG SERIES arc welding machine is suitable for all positions welding for various plates made...
OVERVIEW §2.2 Working Principle The working principle of MIG SERIES arc welding machine is shown as the following figure. Single-phase 220V work frequency AC is rectified into DC (350V) , then is converted to medium frequency AC (about 40KHz) by inverter device (IGBT), after reducing voltage by medium transformer (the main transformer) and rectifying by medium frequency rectifier (fast recovery diodes), and is outputted by inductance filtering.

INSTALLATION AND ADJUSTMENT §3.2 Duty cycle and Over-heat The letter “X” stands for the duty cycle, which is defined as the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within a certain time (10 minutes). The rated duty cycle means the proportion of the time that a machine can work continuously within 10 minutes when it outputs the rated welding current.

OPERATION can be changed tinily by adjusted the knob; 4) If the operator adjust the wave control knob, the arc characteristics can be controlled; TIG mode operation: §4.2.2 1. Press the weld manner key, choose TIG manner and the TIG LED is lighted; 2.
OPERATION ▲ Preferable site the machine some angles above the floor level, the maximum angle does not exceed 15℃. ▲ Protect the machine against heavy rain or in hot circumstance against direct sunshine. ▲ The content of dust, acid, corrosive gas in the surrounding air or substance can not exceed normal standard.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING §5 Maintenance & Troubleshooting §5.1 Maintenance In order to guarantee that arc welding machine works high-efficiently and in safety, it must be maintained regularly. Let customers understand the maintenance methods and means of arc welding machine more , enable customers to carry on simple examination and safeguarding by oneself, try one's best to reduce the fault rate and repair times of arc welding machine, so as to lengthen service life of arc welding machine .Maintenance items in detail are in the following table.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING Using the dry compressed air to clear the inside of arc welding machine. Especially for clearing up the dusts on radiator, main voltage transformer, inductance, IGBT module, the fast recover diode and PCB, etc. Monthly Check up the bolt in arc welding machine, if it is loose, please screw down it. examination If it is skid, please replace.
MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING No gas in the gas cylinder Change it output Gas pipe leaks gas Change it Press gas when test gun switch, Electromagnetic valve Change it output damaged shielded gas Control switch damaged Repair the switch Output when test gas Control circuit damaged Check the board Motor damaged...
