4. Clamp Ground Cable to bare metal on the workpiece near the weld area, or to
the metal workbench where the workpiece is clamped.
5. Set the Wire Speed Dial and the Current Switch to the desired settings. Refer to
the chart on the Welder or the chart on the facing page.
WARNING: Do not switch the current while welding.
6. Flip the Power Switch to the OFF position, then plug the Welder into a dedicated,
120 VAC, 20 A circuit with delayed action type circuit breaker or fuses.
7. Hold the Gun, without touching the Trigger, with the wire and tip clearly away
from any grounded objects. Then, turn the Power Switch to ON.
FEEDING THE WIRE
When tting a new reel adopt the following procedure.
a. Remove the shroud from the torch and unscrew the contact tip.
b. Fit the wire reel onto the spindle. The spring mounting must be correctly tted.
c. Locate the free end of the wire usually positioned in a thole on the reel rim.
Remove the end of the wire from the hole and use sharp wire cutters to remove
any distorted wire. Do not allow the wire to become slack on the reel.
d. Hinge back the pressure arm and feed the end of the wire into the hole at the
end of the liner. Ensure that the wire is tted so that it is fed into the wire feed
mechanism in a straight line.
e. Fasten the pressure arm down ensuring that the MIG wire is in the groove in the
feed roller. Ensure that the correct groove is used depending on the diameter of
the wire i.e. one groove is for 0.6mm and the other for 0.8mm.
f. To reverse the roller, unscrew the two screws securing the roller, supporting
bracket and remove the bracket. The roller can then be removed from it's shaft
and reversed.
g. Hold the torch straight. Switch the machine on and operate the torch trigger,
the wire feed roller will tum feeding the wire through the torch.
h. The wire will emerge from the far end of the torch, then feed the tip onto the
wire (make sure the tip is the correct size for the diameter of wire being used),
tighten it and replace the shroud.
