  • Page 27: Operation

    EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 SECTION 4: OPERATION 4.01 Overview Standard operating procedures apply when using these Welding machines, i.e. connect work lead directly to workpiece with the spring loaded clamp. The MIG wire is fed from the spool through the feed roller system and into the MIG Gun (consult CIGWELD or the electrode wire manufacturers information for the correct polarity).
  • Page 28 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 3. Over Temp Indicator This welding power source is protected by a self resetting thermostat. The Over Temp indicator will illuminate and the error E01 also will be displayed if the machine has over heated which normally occurs if the duty cycle of the power source has been exceeded.
  • Page 29 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 For example, if the Pre-set Voltage is 15V and in volts trim mode the setting is changed to -2.0 then the Pre-set voltage will now be 13V. If the Volts Trim is changed to 4.0 then the Pre-set Voltage will be 19V. 5.
  • Page 30 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 8. Negative Welding Output Terminal The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the work lead. Most General Purpose electrodes are connected with work lead to negative. Consult the electrode manufacturer’s information for the correct polarity.

Shielding Gas Connection The CutSkill Preset Argon Regulator / Flowmeter and Gas Hose Kit is an optional accessory. Connect the gas regulator onto the gas cylinder/bottle by hand, keeping the round sight gauge in the vertical position.
  • Page 34 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 4. DO NOT use the regulator/flowmeter as a control valve. When downstream equipment is not in use for extended periods of time, shut off the gas at the cylinder valve and release the gas from the equipment. 5.
  • Page 35 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 2. Since the regulator is a preset type, no adjustments to the regulator are necessary. Before opening the cylinder valve, be sure that the flow adjusting valve is in a finger-tight "OFF" position (clockwise). 3. Slowly and carefully, open the cylinder valve until the maximum pressure registers on the high pressure gauge.

    EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 5.03 Inserting Wire into the Wire Feed Mechanism Release the tension from the pressure roller by turning the adjustable wire drive tension screw in an anti- clockwise direction. Then to release the pressure roller arm, lift the pressure roller arm tension screw upward to release the pressure roller arm (Figure 5-5).

  • Page 38: Feed Roll Pressure Adjustment

    EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 5.04 Feed Roll Pressure Adjustment The pressure (top) roller applies pressure to the grooved feed roll via an adjustable pressure screw. These devices should be adjusted to a minimum pressure that will provide satisfactory WIREFEED without slippage. If slipping occurs, and inspection of the wire contact tip reveals no wear, distortion or burn back jam, the conduit liner should be checked for kinks and clogging by metal flakes and swarf.

    EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 5.09 MIG (GMAW/FCAW) Basic Welding Technique Two different welding processes are covered in this section (GMAW and FCAW), with the intention of providing the very basic concepts in using the MIG mode of welding, where a welding gun is hand held, 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 47 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 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.
  • Page 48 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 Distance from the MIG Gun Nozzle to the Work Piece The electrode wire stick out from the MIG Gun nozzle should be between 10mm to 20mm. This distance may vary depending on the type of joint that is being welded. Travel Speed The speed at which the molten pool travels influences the width of the weld and penetration of the welding run.
  • Page 49 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 3. Nozzle Angle. This refers to the position of the welding gun in relation to the joint. The transverse angle is usually one half the included angle between plates forming the joint. The longitudinal angle is the angle between the centre line of the welding gun and a line perpendicular to the axis of the weld.
  • Page 50 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 Setting of the Power Source Power source and Wirefeeder setting requires some practice by the operator, (however with the Quick Set feature of the EasyWeld/HandyWeld 130, setting up the correct parameters is a very simple procedure -refer to section 5.08), as the welding plant has two control settings that have to balance.

    EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 5.11 MIG (GMAW/FCAW) Welding Troubleshooting Solving Problems Beyond the Welding Terminals The general approach to fix Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) problems is to start at the wire spool then work through to the MIG Gun. There are two main areas where problems occur with GMAW, Porosity and Inconsistent wire feed Solving Problems Beyond the Welding Terminals - Porosity When there is a gas problem the result is usually porosity within the weld metal.
  • Page 53 EasyWeld / HandyWeld 130 Solving Problems Beyond the Welding Terminals - Inconsistent Wire Feed Wire feeding problems can be reduced by checking the following points.
