Unlock the panel cover to see the inner compartment for MAG Gasless usage to feed the

flux core wire:

1. Set the wire reel in the spring holder and insert the snap pin.

2. Turn the adjustment knob of the pressure arm anti-clockwise to loosen it.

3. Lower the pressure arm to raise the roller retainer to feed wire through the drive roll.

4. While turning the wire reel anti-clockwise, pass the end of the wire through the guide tube.

5. Guide the wire to the correct roller groove (according to its size) Push it through to the inlet tube of the torch.

NOTE: The placement of the reel should be such that the wire comes off the spool, it will look like the

illustration above. The wire should unspool from the bottom, and the spool will rotate in a anti-clockwise

manner.

6. Wire from reel to the drive should relax with a slight curve after feeding, it should not be a tight line.

7. Place the retainer back and pull up the pressure arm back to position and turn the knob clockwise.

8. For proper tension, align tops of the screw and nut together on the knob of pressure arm.

The drive roll pressure should not be too much nor too less.

Too little pressure, the roll can slip, and feed can be erratic. Too much pressure, the wire can be crushed

and cause wire feeding problems and welder damage.

Connect the plug to power for inspection of proper wire feed:

1. Pull the trigger on the MAG gun to feed wire through the gun assembly. Let the panel be open (as of now) so

that you can inspect the wire feeding process.

2. Keep the gun straight. When feeding a new wire through the liner, make sure the wire is cut cleanly (no burrs

or angles) and that at least 1” from the end is straight (no curves). Cut off the excess wire that extends past

the end of the nozzle. The nozzle can be loosened to see a vivid wire movement through the contact tip.

3. Check if the drive roll is slipping on the wire and increase pressure on the pressure arm adjustment knob if

necessary.

NOTE: When the drive pressure is set correctly, there should be no slippage between the wire and the

drive roller. If obstruction occurs along the feed path, the wire should then slip on the drive roller. This

can be checked by squeezing the wire between two fingers with moderate force as it comes out of the

gun. If this stops the wire from feeding, increase pressure until the wire feeds through your fingers

without issue.

Operation

Description

This welding machine functions both as Gas-less Flux-cored MAG (Metal Active Gas) and MMA (Manual Metal

Arc) Machine.

MAG with Flux cored arc welding

Uses heat generated by an electric arc to fuse base metal in the weld joint area. This arc is struck between the

metallic workpiece and the continuously fed tubular cored consumable filler wire, with both the wire and the

metallic workpiece and it is melting together to form a weld joint. This welding works well with most carbon

steels, cast iron, stainless steel, and hard facing /surfacing alloys. However, non-ferrous exotic metals, like

aluminium cannot be welded using this welding technique.

Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA)

In Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA) with consumable, flux-covered electrode, and a ground clamp, a short-

circuit is initially made on the weld piece. An electric arc forms between electrode and workpiece, which heats up

enough to melt both. As the electrode melts, the flux coating on the electrode develops gas and slag, which help

protect the weld pool. The gas keeps air and other pollutants away, while slag forms on top of the weld pool to

protect the weld seam.

High Performance IGBT Technology

The machine uses a high performance IGBT Technology. This Technology is very useful as it gives power that

can be used for different welding processes.

•

Hot Start provides excellent arc ignition without the electrode sticking and avoids any metallurgical default in

the weld. Its Anti-sticking feature minimizes the short circuit current in the event of the electrode sticking

to the work piece.

•

VRD (Voltage Reduction Device) in-built function provides an additional measure of safety.

•

Arc force in-built improves the weld performance on the specified size of electrodes to be used, making the

job easier.

Overview

Current setting

The correct current, or amperage setting primarily depends on the diameter and the type of electrode selected.

Select an amperage based on the material thickness and welding position (about 15 % less heat for overhead

work compared to a flat weld).

The wire feed rate is adjusted by the Feed rate knob.

MIG-140 Welding Machine

Length of arc

The correct arc length varies with each electrode and application. As a good starting point, arc length should not

exceed the diameter of the metal portion of the electrode. Excessively long arcs (too much voltage) produce

spatter, low deposition rates, undercuts and sometimes porosity. Length of arc is regulated by holding electrode

tip at a suitable distance from welding piece.

Angle of travel

Hold the rod perpendicular to the joint and tilt the top of the electrode in the direction of travel approximately 5 to

15°. For welding vertical up, use a forehand technique and tilt the top of the rod 15° away from the direction of

travel.

Speed of travel

The proper travel speed produces a weld bead with the desired contour (or crown), width and appearance. Slow

travel speeds produce a wide, convex bead with shallow penetration. Excessively high travel speeds also

decrease penetration, create a narrow and/or highly crowned bead, and possibly undercuts.

General Operation

NOTE: It is recommended that you try welding and check the rate of welding current first on something

other than the actual work piece. You can start welding after having made the necessary selections.

The MMA/ MAG Switch (1) is used to switch between the two welding operations: MMA and MAG Gasless

welding.

1. Always fix earth cable clamp directly on the welding piece.

2. Turn the power switch to ‘ON’ position. Cooling fan inside the machine should begin to work once welding

starts.

3. Clamp the welding rod on the electrode holder, the machine is in the manual welding mode and in the

standby state.

4. In accordance with the thickness of welding workpiece, diameter of welding rod, working position and

technology needs, make sure suitable welding current with the adjustment knob (2). If current is too high,

intensified splashing occurs and if low, the melted welding stick becomes fluid and drop transfer would not

proceed smoothly.

For beginners, the first difficulty is priming the arc. For best results proceed as follows:

1. Test the current intensity and the electrode on a piece of scrap material. Hold the electrode approx. 2 cm

above the start of the joint. Touch the workpiece with the electrode and stroke it repeatedly on-off the

workpiece to start the arc.

2. Watch the arc only through the face shield and keep the arc length approximately 1–1.5 times the

diameter of the electrode.

3. Hold the electrode at an angle approximately 70° – 80°.

4. Wait until the joint has cooled completely before removing the slag. If you wish to continue welding a joint

after taking a break, the slag at the end of the joint must be removed first. Prime the arc in the joint and melt

the electrode at the point where the two joints meet.

MAG Welding

Welding current of this machine is proportional to the Wire feed speed. This also matches the voltage with its

semi auto-voltage matching.

1. Ensure the ground clamp has a good connection to the workpiece and is connected on clean, bare metal.

2. Place the MAG gun (3) on the joint you want to weld. The distance between the gun and the workpiece

should be about 6mm-12mm Lower your face shield and press the gun trigger to start the arc. When the arc

has struck, move the nozzle along the joint. Pull the trigger while in contact with the workpiece. The

machine does not arc unless the trigger is pulled.

3. The gun should bisect the angle of the two workpieces, to form the weld work angle. The torch in relation to

its movement is torch angle.

For an angle joint: the angle between

the weld gun and the workpiece should

be around 45°.

For a butt joint: the angle between

the weld gun and the workpiece

should be around 90°.

The torch can be pulled or pushed, can be moved in a straight line (stringer

bead), or in small overlapping arcs (weave pattern).

•

A weave is better for thicker materials that require more heat.

•

A stringer is best for very thin material that cannot take much heat.

Storage

Store the equipment and accessories out of children’s reach in a dark and dry place at above freezing

temperature. The ideal storage temperature is between 5°C and 30°C. Store the electric machine in its original

packaging.

Maintenance

All the maintenance work must be conducted under the condition of complete power failure; please

make sure that power plug is pulled out.

•

Regularly remove the dust on the welding machine with dry compressed air. When use it in heavy fume and

polluted air, do this job at least once a month. Compressed air should drop down to the required pressure to

prevent damaging the small parts and units in machine.

•

Avoid water or moist getting into welding machine, or else, blow the welding machine to dry immediately,

then measure the insulation with insulation resistance meter, it can only be used when the measuring result

is accepted.

•

If the welding machine is not used for long-term, it should be placed into the original package and stored in

dry place.

•

Any improper or incorrect operation may cause the welder’s failure and damage. Routine maintenance on

power control switch, grounding device, welding electrode holder, coupling device and set screws should be

performed on a regular basis.

•

Measure the welder’s insulation resistance with insulation resistance meter.

NOTE: Repairing welding equipment should be carried out by a qualified person using original spare

parts. This ensures the safety of the device as well as yourself.
