INTRODUCTION OPERATORS’ MANUAL Top Gun 206 MS INVERTER Based Welding Machines 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 Welding and cutting equipment can be dangerous to both the operator and people in or near the surrounding working area, if the equipment is not correctly operated. Equipment must only be used under the strict and comprehensive observance of all relevant safety regulations.

SAFETY ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on. The input power circuit and internal machine circuits are also live when power is on. In Mig/Mag welding, the wire, drive rollers, wire feed housing, and all metal parts touching the welding wire are electrically live.

SAFETY to two welders because voltage between the two can be the total of the open circuit voltage of both welders. When working above the floor level, use a safety belt to protect yourself from a fall should you get an electric shock! FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS.

SAFETY ARC RAYS: Harmful to people’s eyes and skin. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin. Use a shield with the proper filter and cover plates to protect your eyes from sparks and the rays of the arc when welding or observing open arc welding.

SAFETY WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. Welding on closed containers, such as tanks, drums, or pipes, can cause them to explode. Flying sparks from the welding arc, hot work piece, and hot equipment can cause fires and burns. Accidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire.

SAFETY chains, crane cables or other alternate circuits. This can create fire hazards or overheat lifting chains or cables until they fail. 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.
Page 10
SAFETY Insure cylinders are held secure and upright to prevent tipping or falling over. Never allow the welding electrode or earth clamp to touch the gas cylinder, do not drape welding cables over the cylinder. Never weld on a pressurised gas cylinder, it will explode and kill you. Open the cylinder valve slowly and turn your face away from the cylinder outlet valve and gas regulator.
SAFETY Connect the work cable to the workpiece as close as possible to the area being welded. The people with heart-pacemaker should be away from the welding area. Noise can damage hearing. Noise from some processes or equipment can damage hearing. You must protect your ears from loud noise to prevent permanent loss of hearing.
SAFETY hanker welding machines belong to Class A. §1.4 EMC measure In the special situation, The specified area may be affected, the standard of radiation limit value has been complied with (eg: The device, which is easy effected by electromagnetism, is used at the installation location, or there is radio or TV near the installation location).
SAFETY Shield the whole welding machine §1.5 Warning label The device with a warning label. Do not remove、 destroy or cover this label. These warnings are intended to avoid incorrect device operations that could result in serious personal injury or property damage. -10-...
OVERVIEW §2 Overview §2.1 Brief Introduction MIG SERIES arc welding machine adopts the latest pulse width modulation (PWM) technology and insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) power module, which can change work frequency to medium frequency so as to replace the traditional hulking work frequency transformer with the cabinet medium frequency transformer.
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.
OVERVIEW figure. If the welding machine is overheating, the IGBT over-heat protection sensing will send a signal to the welding machine control unit to cut the output welding current OFF and light the over-heat pilot lamp on the front panel. In that case, the machine should not be welding for 10-15 minutes to cool down with the fanrunning.
OVERVIEW §3.3.2 MIG Welding- Gasless wire §3.3.3 MMA Welding Connection of Output Cables Two sockets are available on this welding machine. For MMA welding the electrode holder is shown be connected to the positive socket, while the earth lead (work piece) is connected to the negative socket, this is known as DCEP. However various electrodes require a different polarity for optimum results and careful attention should be paid to the polarity, refer to the electrode manufacturers information for the correct polarity.
OVERVIEW §3.4.3 the operation for the MIG GUN 1. Service the wire feed mechanism at least every time the reel is changed. ·Check the wear of the feed roll groove and change the feed roll when necessary. ·Clean the welding gun wire guide with compressed air. 2.

OVERVIEW Unfasten the wire end from the reel, but hold on it all the time. Straighten the wire end for approximately 20 cm and cut the wire in the straightened location. Open the pressure control level which then opens the feed gear. Thread the wire through the wire’s rear guide to the gun’s wire guide.
