Attaching The Tweco Weldskill 180 Torch (Euro) - Thermal Arc 181i FABRICATOR Service Manual

FABRICATOR 181i
18. Burnback Control (located in wirefeed compartment)
The burnback control is used to adjust the amount of MIG wire that protrudes from the MIG torch after
the completion of MIG welding (commonly referred to as stick out). To decrease the burnback time (or
lengthen the amount of wire protruding from the MIG torch at the completing of welding), turn the burnback
control knob anti clockwise. To increase the burnback time (or shorten the amount of wire protruding from
the torch at the completing of welding), turn the Burnback Control knob clockwise.
19. Fan on Demand
The Fabricator 181i is fitted with a fan on demand feature. Fan on demand automatically switches the
cooling fan off when it is not required. This has two main advantages; (1) to minimize power consumption,
and (2) to minimise the amount of contaminants such as dust that are drawn into the power source.
Note that the fan will only operate when required for cooling purposes and will automatically switch off
when not required.
