  • Page 5: Safety - Cautions

    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 com- prehensive observance of all relevant safety regulations. Read and understand this instruction manual carefully before the installation and operation of this equipment.
  • Page 6 Fire hazard. 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. Ac- cidental contact of electrode to metal objects can cause sparks, explosion, overheating, or fire. Check and be sure the area is safe before doing any welding.
  • Page 7 CAUTION 1. Working Environment. 1.1 The environment in which this welding equipment is installed must be free of grinding dust, corrosive chemicals, flammable gas or materials etc, and at no more than maximum of 80% humidity. 1.2 When using the machine outdoors protect the machine from direct sun light, rain water and snow etc; the temperature of working environment should be maintained within -10°C to +40°C.

    Installation set up for ARC (Stick) Welding with VIPER 180 MIG -ARC (1) Turn the power source on and select the ARC function with the MIG/ ARC selector switch. (2) Connection of Output Cables Two sockets are available on this welding machine. For ARC welding the electrode holder is shown be connected to the negative socket, while the earth lead ( work piece ) is connected to the positive socket, this is known as DC- polarity.

  • Page 10: Arc (Stick) Welding Information

    ARC (Manual Metal Arc) Welding One of the most common types of arc welding is manual metal arc welding or stick welding. An electric current is used to strike an arc between the base material and a consumable electrode rod or ‘stick’ . The electrode rod is made of a material that is compatible with the base material being welded and is covered with a flux that gives off gaseous vapors that serve as a shielding gas and providing a layer of slag, both of which protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination.
  • Page 11 ARC (Stick) Welding Fundamentals Electrode Selection As a general rule, the selection of an electrode is straight forward,in that it is only a matter of selecting an elec- trode of similar composition to the parent metal. However, for some metals there is a choice of several electrodes, each of which has particular properties to suit specific classes of work.

  • Page 14: Wire Feed Drive Roller Selection

    Wire Feed Roller Selection The importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. Simply put the smoother the wire feed then the better the welding will be. Feed rollers or drive rollers are used to feed the wire mechanically along the length of the welding gun. Feed rollers are designed to be used for certain types of welding wire and they have different types of grooves ma- chined in them to accommodate the different types of wire.

    Wire Installation and Set Up Guide Again the importance of smooth consistent wire feeding during MIG welding cannot be emphasized enough. The correct installation of the wire spool and the wire into the wire feed unit is critical to achieving an even and consistent wire feed.

  • Page 23: Mig (Metal Inert Gas) Welding

    MIG (Metal Inert Gas) Welding Definition of MIG Welding - MIG (metal inert gas) welding also known as GMAW (gas metal arc welding) or MAG (metal active gas welding), is a semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continu­ ous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
  • Page 24 Gas) MIG (Metal Inert Welding Short Circuit Transfer - Short circuit transfer is the most common used method whereby the wire elec­ trode is fed continuously down the welding torch through to and exiting the contact tip. The wire touch­ es the work piece and causes a short circuit the wire heats up and begins to form a molten bead, the ·...

  • Page 25: Basic Mig Welding Guide

    Basic MIG Welding. Good weld quality and weld profile depends on gun angle, direction of travel, electrode exten­ sion (stick out), travel speed, thickness of base metal, wire feed speed (amperage) and arc voltage. To follow are some basic guides to assist with your setup. Gun Position - Travel Direction, Work Angle Gun position or technique usually refers to how the wire is directed at the base metal, the angle and travel direction chosen.
  • Page 26 Travel Angle - Travel angle is the right to left angle relative to the direction of welding. A travel angle of 5°- 15° is ideal and produces a good level of control over the weld pool. A travel angle greater that 20° will give an unstable arc condition with poor weld metal transfer, less penetration, high levels of spatter, poor gas shield and poor quality finished weld.
  • Page 27 Travel Speed - Travel speed is the rate that the gun is moved along the weld joint and is usually measured in mm per minute. Travel speeds can vary depending on conditions and the welders skill and is limited to the welders ability to control the weld pool. Push technique allows faster travel speeds than Drag technique.
  • Page 28 Wire types and sizes - Use the correct wire type for the base metal being welded. Use stainless steel wire for stainless steel, aluminum wires for aluminum and steel wires for steel. Use a smaller diameter wire for thin base metals. For thicker materials use a larger wire diameter and larger machine, check the recommended welding capability of you machine.
