CONTROLS AND SETTINGS |
|
|
| |
This machine has the following controls: |
|
| FIGURE B.1 | |
See Figure B.1 |
|
| ||
1. POWER SWITCH – Turns power on and off to the |
| 2 | ||
machine. |
|
|
|
|
2. ARC VOLTAGE CONTROL – This knob sets the |
|
| ||
output voltage of the machine. Along with wire feed |
|
| ||
speed (WFS) this control sets a weld procedure. |
|
| ||
Refer to the procedure decal on the inside wire |
|
| ||
drive compartment door to set a correct welding | 3 |
| ||
procedure based on type of | material and thickness |
|
| |
being welded. |
|
|
|
|
3. WIRE FEED SPEED CONTROL (WFS) – The knob | 1 |
| ||
sets the speed that the machine feeds wire. Along |
|
| ||
with arc voltage this control sets a weld procedure. |
|
| ||
Refer to the procedure decal on the inside wire |
|
| ||
drive compartment door to set a correct welding |
|
| ||
procedure based on type of | material and thickness |
|
| |
being welded. |

4. GUN TRIGGER – Depress the trigger to activates |
|
| ||
the wire drive to feed wire and energizes the output |
|
| ||
of the machine. Depress the trigger to weld and |
|
| ||
release the trigger to stop welding. |
|
|
| |
5. WELDING GUN – Delivers wire and welding cur- | 5c |
| ||
rent to the weld. |
|
|
|
|
a. Gun Liner – wire travels through the liner from | 5b |
| ||
the wire drive. The gun liner will feed .025” to |
|
| ||
.035” (0.6mm to 0.9mm) wire. The 180A machine | 5a |
| ||
can weld with .045”(1.1mm) wire if an optional | 5 | .035"(0.9mm) | ||
.045”(1.1mm) liner is installed in the gun. |
| |||
b. Contact Tip – provides electrical contact to the |
| WIRE SPOOL | ||
wire. |
|
|
| |
|
|
|
| |
c. Nozzle – When | 4 |
| ||
zle protects the mounting threads on the gun. |
|
| ||
When MIG welding the brass nozzle funnels the |
|
| ||
shielding gas to the weld. |

6. WORK CLAMP & CABLE – Clamps to the work |
|
| ||
piece being welded and completes the electrical |
|
| ||
welding circuit. |
