Remove all input power to the POWER MIG 255 before proceeding.
The Spool Gun Adapter Kit provides direct connection and use of the Spool Gun (with remote speed control) with the POWER MIG 255 wire feed welder.
It also provides gun trigger switch transfer between the machine’s use with its feeder gun or the spool gun for same polarity welding with different wire and gas processes.
The kit includes a spool gun adapter module assembly with a single connecting plug, a rear gas inlet setting with hose and mounting hardware with installation and operation instructions.

MAKING A WELD WITH THE SPOOL GUN, SPOOL GUN INSTALLED
1.Pulling the trigger for the
a.Disables spool gun operation.
b.Closing feeder gun trigger starts feeder gun welding and makes both electrodes electri- cally “HOT”.
2.Pulling SPOOL GUN Trigger:
a.Disables
b.Closing spool gun trigger starts spool gun welding and makes both electrodes electri- cally “HOT”.
3.Operation with POWER MIG 255:
a.Turn the POWER
b.Adjust the voltage control to increase or decrease your welding voltage.
c.Adjust the wire speed control on the spool gun to increase or decrease the spool gun wire feed speed.

The POWER MIG control circuitry is designed to sense either the spool gun (built in) wire feeder trigger circuitry. After the spool gun adapter kit has been installed, the spool gun can easily be plugged in and will be ready to use.
CAUTION
Closing either gun trigger will cause the electrode of both guns to be electrically “HOT”. Be sure unused gun is positioned so electrode or tip will not contact metal case or other metal common to work.
4.The following procedure settings for Aluminum 4043 can be used as initial settings for making test welds to determine final settings:
5.To return to normal POWER MIG 255 welding release the spool gun trigger and reset feeder gun voltage procedure setting if necessary.
6.Operation with Timer Option Kit
All Timer Option Kit functions, except
POWER MIG 255
