Page 4: Guarantee
Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE MIG Welder, designed to operate using a gas cylinder with plain metal welding wire ONLY. This is explained in greater detail within the manual. Before attempting to operate the machine, it is essential that you read this manual thoroughly and carefully follow all instructions given. -
Page 5: Electromagnetic Interference (Emc)
ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMC) Whilst this unit complies with EMC regulations, the user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturers instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the welding equipment to resolve the situation. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the welding circuit, see ‘Note’. -
Page 6: Welding Cables
take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains supply. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure. -
Page 7: Safety Precautions
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL TYPES OF WELDING 1. WARNING: As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result. - Page 8 C) Fire and explosion prevention Causes of fire and explosion are: 1) combustibles reached by the arc, flame, flying sparks, hot slag or heated material; 2) misuse of compressed gases and cylinders; 3) short circuits. BE AWARE THAT flying sparks or falling slag can pass through cracks, along pipes, through windows or doors, and through wall or floor openings, out of sight of the goggled operator.
- Page 9 3. ELECTRIC ARC (MIG, TIG) WELDING Comply with precautions in 1 above, and this section. Arc welding, properly done, is a safe process, but a careless operator invites trouble. The equipment carries high currents at significant voltages. The arc is very bright and hot. Sparks fly, fumes rise, ultraviolet and infrared energy radiates, weldments are hot.
- Page 10 3B) TOXIC FUME PREVENTION Comply with precautions in 2B. Generator engine exhaust must be vented to the outside air. Carbon monoxide can kill. 3C) FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION Comply with precautions in 2C. Equipment’s rated capacity. Do not overload arc welding equipment.
- Page 11 2) Electrode holders Fully insulated electrode holders should be used. Do NOT use holders with protruding screws or with any form of damage. 3) Connectors Fully insulated lock-type connectors should be used to join welding cable. 4) Cables Frequently inspect cables for wear, cracks and damage. IMMEDIATELY REPLACE those with excessively worn or damaged insulation to avoid possibly lethal shock from bared cable.

Page 12: Additional Safety Precautions For Mig Welding
NEVER remove any of the panels unless the machine is disconnected from the supply, AND never use the machine with any of the panels removed. NEVER attempt any electrical or mechanical repair unless your are a qualified technician. If you have a problem with the machine contact your local CLARKE dealer. - Page 13 PREPARATION OF THE WORKING AREA NEVER use or store in a wet/damp environment. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN. The MIG welding process uses an INERT gas to protect the weld pool. It is important to ensure the appropriate gas is being used. NEVER use gas from a cylinder, the content of which is unknown.

SAFETY EQUIPMENT A comprehensive range of CLARKE safety equipment for use when welding is available from your local dealer. MIG WELDING - PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding is a process in which a power wire electrode is fed continuously into the weld pool at a controlled, constant rate. -
Page 15: Electrical Connections
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING: THIS MACHINE MUST BE EARTHED. This welder must be connected to a 230 volt (50Hz) supply, having a rated capac- ity of greater than 13 amps. A 13 Amp (BS1363) plug is not suitable for this device. Connect the three core mains lead to a suitably fused supply through an isolator or heavy duty plug. -

ASSEMBLY A. Attaching the Torch Fig.2 Mig 195TE - Mig 205TE A. It is necessary to fit the torch hose assembly (7) to the machine, but before doing so you must first measure the length of protrusion of the liner (9) from the brass nut (10). -
Page 18: Installing The Welding Wire
B. Loading the Wire NOTE: These machines are designed to accept either the Clarke 5kg or 15kg wire spools of mild steel, stainless steel or aluminium according to the type of metal you wish to weld.Wire spools must be purchased separately. See your Clarke dealer for full details. - Page 19 Fig.6 NOTE: The Plastic knob, item 7 is also used to apply slight tension to the wire spool. This prevents the spool from running freely, which could cause the wire to unspool, creating a ‘birds nest’ tangle within the side compartment.

Page 20: Connecting The Gas Supply
A regulator is provided, complete with outlet pressure gauge for use with argon or argon mix gas bottles. Should you require to use Carbon Dioxide, it will be necessary for you to purchase an appropriate regulator with a female connector. Your Clarke dealer will be happy to advise in this regard. -
Page 21: Preparation For Use
PREPARATION FOR WELDING Attach the earth clamp to the bare metal to be welded. Ensure contact is good . Make sure that the wire-roller groove in the roller corresponds to the diameter of the welding wire being used. Refer to “Loading wire” above. Plug the machine into a 230V AC 50Hz outlet. -
Page 22: Wire Specification Chart
WARNING Make sure all flammable materials are removed from the work area. (ii) Never look directly at the welding arc, it can seriously damage your eyes. Always use an approved welding mask or helmet. (iii) Wear protective clothing so that all skin areas are covered. (iv) Keep a fire extinguisher handy. -
