Shoulder Strap Assembly Instructions
A black nylon shoulder strap is supplied with your welding machine. The strap is designed to be fitted into the
sheet metal slot at the rear of the machine and through the plastic horizontal slot at the front panel housing.
Strap details: Overall Length = 1.62m/1625mm, Width: 3.7cm/37mm, supplied with a Rubber Shoulder
Comforter (L:150 x W:50mm) and two Plastic Buckles (W:45mm x L:31mm).
Note: The picture shows a black plastic carry handle as supplied only on the EasyWeld /
HandyWeld 160.
Step-1. Being mindful to
keep the buckle on the
Nylon Strap in the upward
facing direction, feed the
strap through the rear
of the plastic front panel
housing by approximately
25cm/250mm. Pull the
strap towards the rear of
the machine in line with the
plastic buckle.
To attach the strap to the rear of the 130 MIG machine you will need to push the strap through into the
machine from the top slot on the rear panel, and then you will need to open the wire feed compartment
and push the strap out through the bottom slot. This will enable you to follow steps 1-2-3 above to secure
the strap at the rear.

Step-2. Whilst holding the
back of the plastic buckle,
position the buckle so the
nylon strap falls away from
the front slotted hole on the
buckle. This will then allow
you to feed the nylon strap
up through the front slotted
hole, over the top of the
other nylon strap and up
and out of the slot.

Step-3. Pull the nylon strap
approximately 7cm/70mm
out through the buckle
front slot. Then position
the rear slotted hole on
the buckle into the vertical
position, which will allow
the nylon strap to be
pushed through the rear
slotted hole on the buckle.
Pull the strap through
the slot in the direction
towards the rear of the
welding machine, leaving
3-4cm/30-40mm of strap
hanging out.
