Page 6: Functions And Controls
Functions & Controls Euro torch connector – Connection for Mig torch. Welding positive Dinse connector – Connection for positive welding output. For standard MIG welding, plug the dinse plug from the torch into the positive dinse socket. For welding reverse polarity with flux cored wire etc, connect the dinse plug from the torch into the negative and the earth return lead into the positive dinse socket. - Page 7 Wire feed unit & inter connection lead The power source has the option to plug in the MULTIMIG 4X separate wire feed unit & inter-connection lead. This enables the operator to either keep the feeder on top of the power source or lift the wire feeder off and take closer to the work. The length of the inter connection lead is 5M as standard, but there is the option of fitting a longer inter-connection leads up to 20M.
- Page 8 Welding with this machine First ensure you are familiar with all risks & have taken necessary precautions. With the machine all set up ready to MIG weld, the operator should first set the welding power required to suit the thickness and type of weld to be carried out. As the welding power is adjusted the welding voltage selected is shown in the LED displayed.
- Page 9 MIG welding basics The normal process of MIG welding involves an electric arc, a consumable wire and a shielding gas. The electrical arc creates the heat which melts both the welding wire and the material being welded, the result is a weld pool which is protected from the atmosphere by the shielding gas, or by flux if using a special gas-less wire.

Page 10: Troubleshooting Guide
Trouble shooting guide Problem Machine stops welding after a period of use on higher settings but fan still runs. The display shows “F”. Solution Possible overheated internal components caused by duty cycle being exceeded, leave machine switch on for around half an hour & retry, ideally reduce output power or welding time to prevent re-occurrence. - Page 11 If correctly maintained this machine should give a long trouble free life. We aim to offer the very best long term support for your OXFORD machine.
