  • Page 5: Safety Precautions - Read Before Using

    2.2 Arc Welding Hazards Welding can be dangerous to you and other persons in the work area. Read and understand this instruction manual before using your AWT welding machine. Injury or death can occur if safe welding practices are not followed.The symbols shown below are used throughout this manual to call attention to and identify possible hazards.
  • Page 6 Fumes And Gases Can Be Hazardous Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes. Do not breathe the fumes. Work in a confined space only if it is well ventilated, or while wearing an air-sup- plied respirator.

  • Page 7: Principal Safety Standards

    Exposure to electromagnetic fields while welding may have other health effects which are not known. FLYING METAL or DIRT can injure eyes. Welding, chipping, wire brushing, and grinding cause sparks and flying metal. As welds cool, they can throw off slag. Wear approved safety glasses with side shields even under your welding helmet.

  • Page 11: System Characteristics

    The rated Duty cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. The AWT MIG-200 has a duty cycle of 40% at 200 Amps for 220 Volts. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10 Minutes.

  • Page 27 MIG WELDING OPERATION Your AWT MIG-200 can be used to form many different joints and welds all of which will require practice and testing before using on an actual project piece. This following welding process is just a baseline to get you started.
  • Page 28 Connect your ground clamp to the work pieces that are to be welded. Make sure the ground clamp contacts are placed on a clean piece of metal free of paint, grease, rust, oils, etc. It is recom- mended to place your ground clamp as close to the weld area as possible. Assess your weld area and make sure the welding area is also cleaned of any paint, grease, rust, oils, etc.

  • Page 29: Stick Welding Set-Up And Operation

    HEAVY GAUGE METAL WELDING TECHNIQUES When welding heavy gauge metal, a continuous bead is formed using a ‘push’ method. This process is described below: Clean the metal to be welded of any paint, rust, oil, grease, dirt or any other contaminants that may be on the surface of the piece.
  • Page 30 POLARITY SELECTION The AWT MIG-200 can weld in both Direct Current Electrode Positive (DCEP) and Direct Current Electrode Negative (DCEN). The electrode, or rod, when welding in DCEP is positive and the grounded surface is negative. This polarity is used with electrodes that specify it and is usually the most commonly used polarity when ARC welding for general purpose use.

  • Page 31: Lift Tig Welding Set-Up And Operation

    STICK WELDING PROCEDURE Set up a clean will lit work area. Prepare the parts to be welded by cleaning the weld joint area of any rust, dirt, grease, or paint. Select the proper electrode for the weld joint. Turn on the Welder and select the appropriate amperage. To determine proper amperage it is best to practice on some similar metals to set up the machine before welding on an actual part of value.

    5.4 OVERLOAD PROTECTION Our AWT MIG-200 Welder is equipped with over load protection system which will protect your Welder if the duty cycle is exceeded. If the output is exceeded, the system will trip and stop power supply to the drive motor although the fan will still run to cool the unit. Allow the Welder to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes before attempting to resume welding.
