GMAW (MIG) Operation
Properly connect a wire feeder control cable to either the terminal strip or to the Wire Feeder Receptacle.
If welding electrode positive, connect the electrode cable to the “+” output studs. Connect the work cable to the center output studs, labeled “GMAW, FCAW”. Do not make any connections to the left hand pair of output studs.
Set the control panel switches as follows:
Mode: GMAW
Output Local or Remote (See “Output Control
Control: Switch”)
Wire Feeder Set to match the electrode polarity.
Voltmeter:
Output
Terminals: Remote
If using Local output control, preset the desired welding voltage using the Output potentiometer and the voltmeter. If using Remote Output control, preset the welding voltage using a remote control, or with the voltage control on the wire feeder. If using an
Set up the wire feeder according to the wire feeder instruction manual.
When the gun trigger is pulled (or the weld sequence is started) and an arc is struck, the voltmeter will display the welding voltage preset at the output studs of the
