3.21 Setup for MIG (FCAW) Welding with Flux Core (Gasless) Wire

A. Select MIG mode with the process selection control (refer to Section 3.10.12 for further information).
B. Connect the MIG Gun Polarity Lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the electrode wire manufacturer.
Welding current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however, that the
male plug is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
C. Connect the work lead to the positive welding terminal (+). If in doubt, consult the electrode wire manufacturer. Welding
current flows from the Power Source via heavy duty bayonet type terminals. It is essential, however, that the male plug
is inserted and turned securely to achieve a sound electrical connection.
D. Refer to the Weld Guide located on the inside of the wirefeed compartment door for further information.
E. Switch the LOCAL/REMOTE switch inside the
wire feed compartment to LOCAL to use the
Power Sources Wirespeed and Voltage controls.
F. Switch the MIG GUN/SPOOL GUN switch inside
the wire feed compartment to MIG GUN.
Before connecting the work clamp to the work make sure the Electricity Supply is switched OFF.
Loose welding terminal connections can cause overheating and result in the male plug being fused in the terminal.
Remove any packaging material prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front or rear of the Welding Power
Source.
