SAFETY Excessive ambient temperature will cause the machine heat dissipation is not smooth, so that the internal components of the machine heat seriously. Usually the maximum operating temperature is 104°F (40°C). Low temperature may lead to performance degradation or damage of components inside the product, resulting in ice inside the water tank.

SAFETY Many harmful phenomena, such as noise, bright light and harmful gas, will inevitably occur in the welding process. In order to avoid harmful By product phenomena causing harm to the human body, it is necessary to make corresponding preparations in advance. Arc rays from the welding process produce intense visible and invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays that can burn eyes and skin.

SAFETY Welding may produce fumes and gases hazardous to health. Avoid breathing these fumes and gases. Do not breathe the smoke and gas generated whilst welding or cutting, keep your head out of the fumes. Use enough ventilation and/or exhaust at the arc to keep fumes and gases away from the breathing zone.

SAFETY 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. Welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

OVERVIEW §2 Overview §2.1 Features 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 medium frequency so as to replace the traditional hulking work frequency transformer with the cabinet medium frequency...
OVERVIEW If transformer is over-heat, the heat relay inside it will open and will output an instruction to circuit board, cut AC relay and the output welding current, and brighten the over-heat pilot lamp in the front panel. At this time, the machine should be relaxed for 15 minutes to cool the fan.

PANEL FUNCTIONS & DESCRIPTIONS §3.2 Control Panel of welding machine 1. 2T mode indicator: When 2T mode is selected, the light is on. 2. 4T mode indicator: When 4T mode is selected, the light is on. 3. Trigger mode select button: Select 2T or 4T mode. 4.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION §4 Installation & Operation §4.1 Installation & Operation for MIG Welding §4.1.1 Set up installation for MIG Welding (1) Insert the earth cable plug into the Negative (-) socket and twist to tighten. (2) Plug the MIG welding gun into MIG torch euro-connector on the front panel and tighten locking nut securely.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION (6) Place wire onto spool holder - Feed wire through the inlet guide tube on to the drive roller. (7) Feed wire over the drive roller into the outlet guide tube, push the wire through approx 150mm. (8) Close down the top roller bracket and clip the pressure arm into place with a medium amount of pressure applied.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION (10) Press the button to select 2T or 4T Trigger mode. (11) Rotate L parameter knob to adjust wire feeding speed. (12) Rotate R parameter knob to adjust voltage. (13) Rotate wave control knob to adjust wave control. §4.1.2 Wire Feed Roller Selection Feed rollers or drive rollers are used to feed the wire mechanically along the length of the welding gun.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION and it has small serrations in the groove, the serrations grip the wire and assist to drive it without too much pressure from the top roller. The down side to the knurled wire feed roller on flux cored wire is it will slowly over time bit by bit eat away at the surface of the welding wire, and these small pieces will eventually go down into the liner.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION (3) Fit the wire spool onto the spool holder (4) Snip the wire carefully, be sure to hold fitting the locating pin into the location hole the wire to prevent the spool uncoiling. on the spool. Replace the spool retaining Carefully feed the wire into the inlet guide nut tightly.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION (8) A simple check for the correct drive tension is to bend the end of the wire over hold it about 100mm from your hand and let it run into your hand, it should coil round in your hand without stopping and slipping at the drive rollers, increase the tension if it slips.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION obtained from Argon CO mixed gas. Argon CO mix gas offers better weld ability for thin metals and has a wider range of setting tolerance on the machine. Argon 80% CO is a good all round mix suitable for most applications. §4.1.5 MIG Torch Liner Installation (1) Remove MIG torch front end parts.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION (5) Carefully feed in the new liner down (6) Fit the liner retaining nut and screw the torch lead all the way to exit the only 1/2 way down. torch neck. (7) Snip the liner off 3mm past the end (8) Replace the front end parts.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION §4.1.6 Torch Set Up for Aluminum Wire (1) Remove MIG torch front end parts. (2) Remove the liner retaining nut. (3) Carefully pull out and completely (4) Carefully unravel the new liner. remove the liner. (5) Carefully feed in the new liner in short (6) Fit the liner collet, liner O-ring forward and movements down the torch liner retaining nut.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION (7) Push the liner firmly into the torch lead (8) Snip the liner off 3mm past the of end and tighten the liner retaining nut. the torch neck. (9) Replace the front end parts.
INSTALLATION & OPERATION §4.5 Operation Notices ▲Read Section §1 carefully before starting to use this equipment. ▲Connect the ground wire with the machine directly. ▲Ensure that the input is single-phase: 50/60Hz, 230V ±10%. ▲Before operation, none concerned people should not be around the working area and especially children.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING §5 Maintenance & Troubleshooting §5.1 Maintenance In order to guarantee safe and proper operation of welding machines, they must be maintained regularly. Let customers understand the maintenance procedure of welding machines. Enable customers to carry on simple examination and inspections. Do your best to reduce the fault rate and repair times of welding machines to lengthen service life of arc welding machine.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING Check the screws and bolts in the machine. If any is loose, please screw it tight. If it is shaved, please replace. If it is rusty, please erase rust on all bolts to ensure it works well. Quarter- Check whether the actual current accords with the displaying value.
