OPERATION

B-6

The Pro-MIG 175 is suitable for .035" aluminum wire and .023"– .035" stainless wire. Refer to Table B.1 for recommended procedure settings. (Requires K586-1 regulator kit and K664-2 Aluminum - Stainless Feeding Kit.)

CAUTION

It is important when changing between welding with steel wire and aluminum to exchange feeding components due to the lubricant applied to steel wire. Failure to do so may result in contaminated welds when welding aluminum.

CHANGING MACHINE OVER TO FEED OTHER WIRE SIZES

The Pro-MIG 175 is shipped from the factory ready to feed 0.023” – .025" (0.9 mm) diameter wire. To oper- ate the Pro-MIG 175 with other sizes of wire, it maybe necessary to change the contact tip, drive roll and gun-liner configuration. For component configuration and placement. Refer to the MAINTENANCE section on these procedures.

WELDING WITH GMAW (MIG)

Shielding Gas

When using the GMAW process, install the gas regu- lator and hose.

1.For CO2, an optional adjustment is required. Open the cylinder very slowly. For argon-mixed gas, open cylinder valve slowly a fraction of a turn. When the cylinder pressure gauge pointer stops moving, open the valve fully.

2.If using a regulator with an adjustable flow meter, close the gun trigger and adjust the flow to give 15

–20 cubic ft per hour (CFH) (7 – 10 I/min) [use 20

–25 CFH (10 – 12 I/min) when welding out of position or in a drafty location.

3.Keep the cylinder valve closed, except when using the Pro-MIG 175. When finished welding:

a)Close the cylinder valve to stop gas flow.

b)Depress the gun trigger briefly to release the pressure in the gas hose.

c)Turn off the Pro-MIG 175.

WELDING WITH FCAW (Innershield)

When using the FCAW process, the correct drive roll and electrode polarity must be used. See Work Cable Installation in INSTALLATION section for changing the polarity.

Innershield welding kits K549-1 (for .035") and K549-2 (for .045") are also available.

OVERLOAD PROTECTION

Output Overload

The Pro-MIG 175 is equipped with a circuit breaker which protects the machine from damage if a severe overload occurs. The circuit breaker button will extend out when tripped. The circuit breaker must be manual- ly reset.

Thermal Protection

The Pro-MIG 175 has a rated output duty cycle of 30%. If the duty cycle is exceeded, a thermal protector will shut off the output until the machine cools to a rea- sonable operating temperature. This is an automatic function of the Pro-MIG 175 and does not require user intervention. The fan continues to run during cooling.

Electronic Wire Drive Motor Protection

The Pro-MIG 175 has built-in protection for wire drive motor overload.
