Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL SECTION 4: OPERATION 4.01 Overview Conventional operating procedures apply when using the Welding Power Source, i.e. connect work lead directly to workpiece and the electrode wire is fed via the MIG Torch (Consult the electrode wire manufacturers information for the correct polarity).
Page 26
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 1. Power Indicator The power indicator is illuminated when the correct mains power is applied to the power source and when the ON/OFF switch located on the rear panel is in the ON position. 2. VRD Indicator ON/OFF Lights A VRD (voltage reduction device) is a hazard reducing device designed to reduce electric shock hazards present on the output of welding power source when operating in MMAW (stick) mode.
Page 27
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 4. Amperage Control (Wirespeed) The amperage control knob adjusts the amount of welding current delivered by the power source. In MMAW (stick) and GTAW (TIG) modes, the amperage control knob directly adjusts the power inverter to deliver the desired level of output current. In GMAW/FCAW modes (MIG), the amperage knob adjusts the speed of the wire feed motor (which in turn adjusts the output current by varying the amount of MIG wire delivered to the welding arc).
Page 28
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 8. Negative Welding Output Terminal The negative welding terminal is used to connect the welding output of the power source to the appropriate welding accessory such as the MIG torch (via the MIG torch polarity lead), TIG torch or work lead.
Page 29
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 10.Multifunction Control - Voltage, Down Slope & Arc Force The multifunction control knob is used to adjust Voltage (MIG Mode), Down slope (TIG Mode) and Arc Force (STICK Mode) depending on the welding mode selected. NOTE The preview functionality provided on this power source is intended to act as a guide only.
Page 30
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Trigger Mode Control (MIG and TIG Mode only) The trigger mode control is used to switch the functionality of the of the torch trigger between 2T (normal) and 4T (latch mode) 2T Normal Mode In this mode, the torch trigger must remain depressed for the welding output to be active. Press and hold the torch trigger to activate the power source (weld).

Then to release the pressure roller arm push the tension screw toward the front of the machine which releases the pressure roller arm (Figure 5-6).
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 5.06 Feed Roller Pressure Adjustment The pressure (top) roller applies pressure to the grooved feed roller 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.

Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Secondary Adjustable Variables These variables cause changes in primary adjustable variables which in turn cause the desired change in the bead formation. They are: 1. Stick-out (distance between the end of the contact tube (tip) and the end of the electrode wire). Maintain at about 10mm stick-out.
Page 49
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Establishing the Arc and Making Weld Beads Before attempting to weld on a finished piece of work, it is recommended that practice welds be made on a sample metal of the same material as that of the finished piece. The easiest welding procedure for the beginner to experiment with MIG welding is the flat position.
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 5.14 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 torch. 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 52
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Solving Problems Beyond the Welding Terminals - Inconsistent Wire Feed Wire feeding problems can be reduced by checking the following points. FAULT CAUSE 1 Feed roller driven by motor in the Wire spool brake is too tight. cabinet slipped.

Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 6.03 TIG (GTAW) Basic Welding Technique Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) or TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) as it is commonly referred to, is a welding process in which fusion is produced by an electric arc that is established between a single tungsten (non- consumable) electrode and the work piece.

It is essential, however, that the male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 7.02 Stick (MMAW) Basic Welding Technique Size of Electrode The electrode size is determined by the thickness of metals being joined and can also be governed by the type of welding machine available. Small welding machines will only provide sufficient current (amperage) to run the smaller size electrodes.

For heavier sections and for repair work on castings, etc., it will be necessary to cut or grind an angle between the pieces being joined to ensure proper penetration of the weld metal and to produce sound joints.
Page 69
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Arc Welding Technique - A Word to Beginners For those who have not yet done any welding, the simplest way to commence is to run beads on a piece of scrap plate. Use mild steel plate about 6.0mm thick and a 3.2mm electrode. Clean any paint, loose scale or grease off the plate and set it firmly on the work bench so that welding can be carried out in the downhand position.
Page 70
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Arc Length The securing of an arc length necessary to produce a neat weld soon becomes almost automatic. You will find that a long arc produces more heat. A very long arc produces a crackling or spluttering noise and the weld metal comes across in large, irregular blobs.
Page 71
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Heavy plate will require several runs to complete the joint. After completing the first run, chip the slag out and clean the weld with a wire brush. It is important to do this to prevent slag being trapped by the second run.
Page 72
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL C. Vertical Welds 1. Vertical Up Tack weld a three feet length of angle iron to your work bench in an upright position. Use a 3.2mm Ferrocraft 21 electrode and set the current at 100 amps. Make yourself comfortable on a seat in front of the job and strike the arc in the corner of the fillet.
Page 73
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL 2. Vertical Down The Ferrocraft 21 electrode makes welding in this position particularly easy. Use a 3.2mm electrode at 100 amps. The tip of the electrode is held in light contact with the work and the speed of downward travel is regulated so that the tip of the electrode just keeps ahead of the slag.
Page 74
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Distortion Distortion in some degree is present in all forms of welding. In many cases it is so small that it is barely perceptible, but in other cases allowance has to be made before welding commences for the distortion that will subsequently occur.
Page 75
Transmig 220i OPERATING MANUAL Overcoming Distortion Effects There are several methods of minimizing distortion effects. A. Peening This is done by hammering the weld while it is still hot. The weld metal is flattened slightly and because of this the tensile stresses are reduced a little. The effect of peening is relatively shallow, and is not advisable on the last layer.
