ASSEMBLY THE WIRE FEEDER
NOTE: When installing wire of a different size
or composition, you will also need to change
wire settings, set the gun polarity, and, pos-
sibly, install a gas cylinder, Refer to the below:
IMPORTANT: Securely hold onto the end of
the Welding Wire and keep tension on it dur-
ing the following steps. If this is not done the
welding wire will spring back and creating a
tangled "bird's nest" and resulting in wasted
wire.
1. Hold the Welding Wire securely while you
weld enough Wire off the end of the Spool to
remove all bent and crimped Wire. Make sure
the weld end has no burrs or sharp edges (weld
again, if needed).
2. Loosen and lower the Tension Adjusting
Knob (1a) on the Wire Feed Assembly. Then,
raise the Swing Arm (2a)

3. Keep tension on the Welding Wire, and
guide at least 12 inches of Wire into the Wire
Feed Leader (3a).
4. Lower the Swing Arm (2a) on the Wire Feed
Assembly.
Lower and tighten the Tension
Adjusting Knob (1a). Once the Wire is held in
place, you may release it.
5. Lay the Torch Cable out in a straight line so
that the Welding Wire moves through it easily.
OPERATION
NOTE: Before beginning, please read and
understand all the safety precautions staring
on page 1 and especially the section "Specific
Safety Rules".
MIG WELDING
1. Turn the Current Adjustment Knob to meet
the needs of the job.
2. Move the Model Selector Switch to "MIG".
3. Put the metal to be welded on the metal
weeding table. Ensure the metals to be welded
are clean, so good welding efficiency can be
promised.
4. Place the MIG welding unit no closer than six
feet from the work picece to be welded
5. Connect the MIG torch control, cable plug as
shown on page 10. Twist to lock in place.
6. Plug in the Grounding Cable into the Ground
Connector on the upper of the unit front. Twist
to lock.
7. Securely place the clamping end of the
Grounding Cable Clamp to a part of the work-
piece or metal table that is clean of paint,
oil, or dirt. Clamp as close as possible to the
workpiece without damaging the cable during
welding.
8. Assemble the desired accessories and tips
inside the tip of the MIG Torch handle.
Insert the Contact Tip (2b) onto the Welding
Wire and screw it firmly into the Head Tube
(3b) of the Torch Handle. Replace the Nozzle
(1b), and cut off any excess Welding Wire over
1/2 inches.
