atmosphere or where the radiant energy can penetrate to atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene. FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION Causes of fire and explosion are: 1. Combustibles reached by the arc, flying sparks, hot slag or heated material; 2. - Page 8 DO NOT overload arc welding equipment. It may overheat cables and cause a fire. Loose cable connections may overheat or flash and cause a fire. NEVER strike an arc on a cylinder or other pressure vessel. It creates a brittle area that can cause a violent rupture or lead to such a rupture later under rough handling.

persons who will be looking directly at the weld. Others working in the area should wear flash goggles. Before starting to weld, make sure that screen or bay doors are closed. SHOCK PREVENTION Exposed live conductors or other bare metal in the welding circuit, or in unearthed, electrically-LIVE equipment can fatally shock a person whose body becomes a conductor. -

Page 13: Electrical Connection
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION WARNING! READ THESE ELECTRICAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE CONNECTING THE PRODUCT TO A POWER SUPPLY. THE INSTALLATION OF THIS APPLIANCE SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT BY A COMPETENT ELECTRICIAN AND BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH CURRENT IEE WIRING REGULATIONS (BS4343). IMPORTANT: This product requires a 64A power supply which may make it unsuitable for some users. - Page 14 OVERVIEW OF MACHINE FEATURES THE CONTROL FUNCTIONS The MIG270DV Multi-welder is fitted with the following features: 1) TORCH CONNECTION (2) ARC CONTROL This knob controls the output characteristics of the arc. Rotating clockwise, the arc is soft, deeper penetration and smaller spatter, but with weak stability. Rotating anticlockwise, the arc is harder, better stability, but penetration depth becomes shallower and the spatter increases.

1. Open the side panel and remove the locking nut. • The retaining locknut nut has a left- hand thread. 2. Place a spool of welding wire over the spindle. • DO NOT release the tension on the wire as it will unravel, causing feeding problems later. - Page 22 • We recommend you cut off and discard the first 10 cm of wire from the spool to avoid any burrs and then straighten the next few centimetres of wire to help with feeding. 2. Loosen the tensioning levers and pivot towards you. 3.

Page 23: Before Starting Work
BEFORE STARTING WORK WARNING: WHEN WELDING ALWAYS ENSURE THERE IS ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN THE WORK AREA DUE TO TOXIC FUMES. WARNING: DO NOT STRIKE THE ELECTRODE ON THE WORKPIECE, AS THIS MAY DAMAGE THE ELECTRODE. WARNING: WELDING ARCS PRODUCE HARMFUL UV/IR LIGHT WHICH CAN SERIOUSLY DAMAGE YOUR EYES. - Page 24 CONNECTION AND USE METHOD FOR MANUAL ARC WELDING (MMA) CONNECTION OF OUTPUT CABLES FOR MANUAL ARC WELDING There are two ways to connect the power output cable: front connection and reverse connection. 1. Front connection The workpiece is connected with "+", welding clamp is connected with "-". Manual arc welding is often used to weld acid electrodes.
- Page 25 Connect the work piece to “-” and the electrode holder to “+”. This connection is often used for alkaline electrodes. The weld penetration is deep. and good for arc stability when using this negative connection welding alkaline electrodes. OPERATION USING MMA 1.

The cylinder should be secured to the cylinder bracket with the strap. For MAG gas welding, please use gases that meet the MAG welding requirements. When mixing two bottles of gas, a proportioner must be used to avoid uneven mixing. PREPARATION BEFORE USE OF GAS SHIELDED MIG WELDING Leather gloves and safety boots should be worn to protect the operator's skin or exposed parts of the body. - Page 27 CONNECTION AND OPERATION FOR MIG/MAG Connect the attachments as shown in the diagram on page 23. 1.

OPERATING THE WELDER (MIG) 1. With the welding current set and the wire trimmed, set the wire feed control to an intermediate setting. 2. Approach the work with the torch tip at an angle of about 45 and pull the torch trigger fully. - Page 32 OPERATING THE WELDER (MMA/ARC) The consumable electrode is connected to a high amperage low voltage supply which creates an electric arc between the electrode and the workpiece. The most difficult aspect of the arc welding process, particularly for beginners, is that of striking an arc.
- Page 33 OPERATING THE WELDER (TIG WELDING) TIG welding is primarily for very thin materials. It uses a non-consumable tungsten (or tungsten alloy) electrode held in a torch. A shielding gas (100% Argon), is fed through the torch to protect: • The electrode •...

Page 34: Tig Welding
TIG WELDING Before TIG welding you must obtain the correct torch and a gas cylinder of 100% pure Argon. (see page 45) To prepare the machine for TIG welding, adopt the following procedure. 1. Plug the work clamp lead in to the +ve terminal, and secure the work clamp to the workpiece. - Page 35 • The torch is advanced in the direction of welding, without lateral movement, maintaining the torch angle of 45 to the workpiece.

To keep the contact tip free from spatter, we recommend the use of anti-spatter spray (6000715) available from your CLARKE dealer. Torch shroud: The torch shroud must also be kept clean and free from spatter. Build-up of spatter inside the gas cup can cause a short circuit at the contact tip which will result in expensive machine repairs. -
