1.1 General Instructions
Make sure this manual is carefully read and understood by the welder.
1.2 Location
Welding orocesses of any kind can be dangerous not only to the ooerator but to an't oersoq siluated
near the eauiement, if safely and ooerafing rules are not strictN observed. These are the main precautionary measures to observe:
Operators should protect their body by wearing closed, non-fiammab_ protective ck3thing,
without pockets or turned up trousers.
The operators should wear a non-flammable welding helmet des;gned so as to shield the neck
and the face, also on the sides, it is necessary to keep the protective lens atwoCs ctean and to repk_e it when broken or cracked, it is advisable to put a transparent glass belween the lens and the wela_-_3
area. Welding should be done in a closed area ti%fl does not open into other working areas.
The operators slnould never look at the welc_ng arc without the correct protection for the eyes.
They should alv_ys wear safely glasses with side shields to protect from flying pariicles.
The welding process must be performed on metal coatings thoroughly cleaned from layers
of rust or paint, to avoid production of harmful fumes. The parts degreased with a solvent must be dried before welding.
Welding should never be done on metals or coated metals containing zinc, mercury, chro-
mium, graphite, lead, cadmium or beryllium unless the operator and the people standing in the same area use an air-supplied respirator.
1.3 Safe_ Instructions
For your safely, before plugging in the welder, closely follow these instructions:
When working in a confined space, the welder must be kept outside the welding area and
the ground cable should be fixed to the work piece. Never work in a damp or wet area, in these conditions.
Do not use damaged power cards or welding cables; The welding torch should never be pointed at the operator's or al other persons' pr:x_; The welder must never be operated without its panels as this could cause serious injuryto
the operator and could damage the equipment.
1,4 Fire Prevention
Make sure that opp_opfiate fife pre'eenlion de_=es are available ne_ 1o the welding area; All combustible material must be removed from the welding area.
1.5 ShieldingGas
Use the correctshieldinggas fortheweldingprocess.Make surethattheregulatormounted on cylinderisworkingwell.Remember tokeep thecylinderaway fromanysourceofheat.
1.6 ElectricShock
DANGER - ELECTRICSHOCK CAN BE FATAL. Ifa personisfoundunconsciousand electricshockissuspected,do nottouchthepersoniftheyare

In order to assemble the plastic handle follow the instructions in figure 1. In order to assemble the handshield; insert the plasfic protection shield in the special opening
fixing it with the two screws. Place the handle fixing it in the slit of the protection mask, push it and rotate it by 90° until it enters into the hole inside the protection mask.
CAUTION: Never look at an electric arc without eye protection, the arc rays can injure the eyes permanently. Use always the protection shield supplied with the welder or any other protection mask
or welding helmet.

3. Loosen and lower the plastic knob [L). release the upper roll of the feeder (N} and exlTact the shipping wire from the torch liner.
4. When the wire on the spool is loosened, hold it with pliers so that it cannot uncoil from the spool, and s#aighten it before inserting it in the wire input guide [O}. Insert the wire on the lower roll (M)
and in the torch liner.
WARNING: The torch must 13e kept stralaJnt When feeding a new wi_e through the finer, make sure
the wire is cut cleanly (no burrs or angles) and at least l 0 inches of the end is straight {no curves}. Failure to foflaw these instructions could lead to the wire damaging the liner,
5, Lower the upper roll {N} and the knob [L} and tighten slightly {ifthere is too much pressure the wire
gets lacked and the motor could get damaged, if tea loose the wire will not be fed by the rolls}.
6, Plug the power cord into the 120',/60Hz plug and _ on the switch, then press _ torch switch. 1he
wire fed by the wire feecJng motor at variable speed must slide througiq the liner; when it exits from the torch neck release the torch switch turn off the machine and install the contact rip and the nozzle.
WARNING: 1he roils, when in movement, may crush the
fingers. Periodically check the rolls and replace them when they are worn.
WARNING: The torch is the part of the welder that needs the
most maintenance. We recom- mend to periodical checking of the contact tips and the noz-
zle, These parts must be clean and not worn-out, The torch
liner must be replaced when the wire does not feed
smoothly.

In MIG welding [Metal Inert Gas) a continuously fed metal electrode is melted into a welding pool at constant and controlled speed.
The wire is connected to a constant voltage pole while the work piece is connected to the other pole. When the wire is fed and touches the work piece, an electric arc is produced,
The arc melts the wire that is deposited on the work piece.
In "NO GAS welding = the torch is connected to the negative pole and the ground cable to the positive pole, With gas welding the shielding gas is used to protect the weld pool from oxidation and
porosly. By NO GAS welding this protection is given by a special wire called "flux cored wire", this technique simplifies the use of these machines compared to the machines with standard wire, on which the gas flow must be adjusted separately.
1. Connect the welding machine to the 120V 60Hz line;
2. Connect the ground cable to the work piece and make sure that the contact is good;
3. Make sure that the wire-feeding roll is correctly positioned [groove matching the wire diameter].
Note that each rell has two grooves one marked ,035 the other marked .030.
1, There is no need for gas cylinders. 2, Welding outdoom iseasier because there are fewer chances that wind blows away the shielding gas.
3. Welding time is about 50% less compared to the normal electrode welding.
4. The learning time for the operator is very short.
5. Minimum waste of welding material.
6. Most important, this process allows the welding to be completed more quickly and efficiently.
7. Less heat, less distorlJon.
8. Possibility to weld thin materials.

2, Thechoice of the position for the welding isdetermined by the
thickness of the matedal to weld,

Your welder is supplied with a mini wire spool of about 0.5 pounds of .035" diameter wire. When the wire spool is finished it can be replaced with a 2 pound wire spool. the wire is pushed by a roll which is moved by a series of mechanisms, the roll has two grooves of_e
marked by ,035" and the ether marked by .030", Itis veq/important to use the correct groove. Ctherwise the wire will r_t be fed regularly or It will be crushed. Make sure that the torch tip matches with the wire
diameter. Your welder issupplied with a torch complete of tip for the wire included with the welder. Refer to figure 2 and Follow the procedure described at page 5 "Connecting the welding wire" for
the replacement of the wire spool. CAUTION : ONLY 2 POUND SPOOLS OF .035 FLUX CORED WIRE

1. Keep the torch handle at an angle of 45° with respect to the work pece and maintain the nozzJe about 6ram from the surface.
2. Move the torch handle with a steady motion.
3. Avoid welding in areas with too much wind. The wind blows away the shielding gas from the weld pool causing porosity in the weld.
4. Keep the wire and its cover clean. Do not use rusted wire.
5. Avoid sharp bends and kinks on the welding hose.
6. If possible, clean the wire liner with compressed air when replacing the wire spool. 7, Periodically remove the dust, using low pressure (20-30 PSI)from the inside of the welder, to assure
adequate heat dissipation from welder during operation.
Set the voltage: use the correct "stick out". The wire "stick out" isthe distance between the contact tip and the work piece. The wire "Stick out" (sometimes Improperly called arc length) should remain in
the range 3/16" + 6/16" in order to obtain best welding performances.
t. Position the voltage switch in the desired position. Select lower position for lower thickness and
higher settings for higher thickness.
