About welding

FitWeld 300 is suitable for many MIG/MAG welding applications, but its quick ignition and
high efficiency make it especially fast, safe and economic for tack welding of steel materials. It
can be used for welding with ferrous, stainless steel and aluminium filler materials.
FitWeld 300 is designed for use in demanding environments. It has wire feed cabinet
illumination to facilitate wire adjustment in dark conditions, and its case is made of reinforced
fibre plastic.
Tack welding with the MIG/MAG process
Tack welding is used during the fabrication and fitting process, using spot-like welds to
establish the joints before primary welding.
Using MIG/MAG process for tack welding makes this phase fast and efficient. It is also a safer
compared to traditional MMA tack welding.
