Setup For Mig (Fcaw) Welding With Flux Core (Gasless) Wire - Thermal Arc Fabricator 211i Service Manual

INSTALLATION/SETUP
Before connecting the work clamp to the work make sure the Electricity Supply is switched off.
Secure the welding grade shielding gas cylinder in an upright position by chaining it to a suitable stationary
support to prevent falling or tipping.
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.

4.11 Setup For MIG (FCAW) Welding With Flux Core (Gasless) Wire

A. Select MIG mode with the process selection control (refer to Section 4.01.13 for further information).
B. Connect the MIG polarity lead to the negative welding terminal (-). If in doubt, consult the electrode wire manufac-
turer. 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.
