• Els fums i els gasos poden ser perillosos: Mantingueu el cap allunyat dels fums. Utilitzeu la ventilació o l'extracció per eliminar els fums de la zona de respiració.
• Els raigs d'arc poden cremar els ulls i la pell: Porteu un casc de soldadura amb un filtre de protecció adequat. Porteu roba protectora per protegir la pell.
• Perill d'incendi i explosió: Traieu tots els materials inflamables de la zona de soldadura. Tingueu un extintor a prop.
• Les parts calentes poden causar cremades greus: Allow welded materials to cool before handling.
• Camps magnètics: Les persones que porten marcapassos han de consultar el seu metge abans d'operar.
• Objectes que cauen: Secure workpieces before welding.
• Soroll: Porteu protecció auditiva.

Always ensure proper grounding and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing.

3. Instruccions de configuració

3.1 Desembalatge i inspecció

1. Traieu amb cura tots els components de l'embalatge.
2. Inspect the welder and all accessories for any signs of damage during shipping. If any damage is found, do not operate the machine and contact customer support.
3. Ensure all included components are present: MIG 195 Welder, Torch, Ground Cord, Chipping Hammer/Wire Brush, Tip, Welding Mask.

3.2 Connexió d'alimentació

This welder requires a 220V power supply. Ensure your electrical outlet matches this requirement. The unit comes with a power plug that may require wiring to a suitable 220V receptacle. Consult a qualified electrician if unsure about wiring.

3.3 Instal·lació de la bobina de filferro

The MIG-195 is designed for gas-less flux core welding. Use appropriate flux core wire for your application.

1. Open the side panel of the welder to access the wire feed mechanism.
2. Place the wire spool onto the spool holder. Ensure the wire unwinds smoothly from the bottom of the spool towards the wire feed rollers.
3. Thread the wire through the guide tube and into the wire feed rollers.
4. Close the wire feed roller tension arm and adjust the tension. The tension should be firm enough to feed the wire without slipping, but not so tight that it deforms the wire.
5. Feed the wire through the torch liner until it exits the contact tip. You may need to press the trigger on the welding torch to activate the wire feed motor.

3.4 Polarity Setting

For gas-less flux core welding, the polarity is typically DC electrode negative (DCEN), meaning the welding torch is connected to the negative terminal (-) and the ground clamp to the positive terminal (+). Verify the correct polarity for your specific flux core wire type.

3.5 Cl mòltamp Connexió

Connecteu la terra clamp to the workpiece. Ensure a clean, bare metal connection for optimal electrical conductivity. A poor ground connection can lead to unstable arcs and poor weld quality.

4.1 Controlsview

Figura 6: Detallada view of the control panel, showing power switches, voltage/amperage selectors, and wire feed speed dial.

• Interruptor ON / OFF: Encén o apaga la unitat.
• Voltage/Amperage Selector (1/2, MIN/MAX): Adjusts the welding power output. Use '1' for lower power and '2' for higher power. Within each setting, 'MIN' and 'MAX' provide fine-tuning.
• Wire Feed Speed Dial (0-10): Controls the speed at which the welding wire is fed through the torch. Higher numbers indicate faster wire feed.
• Thermal Overload Indicator: A light that illuminates if the machine overheats, indicating the need for a cool-down period.

4.2 Procés de soldadura

1. Preparació de la peça de treball: Ensure the workpiece is clean, free of rust, paint, and grease.
2. Establir paràmetres: Refer to the welding setup guide (often located inside the welder's cover) or a welding chart for recommended voltage and wire feed speed settings based on material thickness and wire diameter.
3. Utilitzeu EPI: Always wear your welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing.
4. Comença a soldar: Position the torch tip approximately 1/4 to 3/8 inch from the workpiece. Press the trigger to start the wire feed and initiate the arc.
5. Mantenir l'arc: Move the torch steadily along the joint, maintaining a consistent arc length and travel speed. Observe the weld puddle and adjust your technique as needed.
6. Finish Weld: Release the trigger to stop the arc and wire feed. Allow the weld to cool before chipping away the slag (from flux core).

4.3 Cicle de treball

The duty cycle indicates how long a welding machine can operate continuously within a 10-minute period before needing to cool down. Exceeding the duty cycle can damage the machine.

• 10% a 180 AMP
• 60% a 74 AMP
• 100% a 60 AMP

Per example, at 180 AMP, the machine can weld for 1 minute out of every 10 minutes. If the thermal overload indicator lights up, stop welding and allow the machine to cool down.

4.4 Wire Capacity

• Flux Core: 0.047" (1.2mm), 0.023" to 0.035" (0.6-0.8mm)
• Steel & Stainless Steel (Solid Wire, requires gas): 0.031" (0.8mm)
• Aluminum (Solid Wire, requires gas): 0.030" to 0.039" (1.0mm)

Note: This model is primarily advertised as "Gas-Less" for flux core welding. Using solid wire for steel or aluminum would require an external gas supply and regulator, which are not included with this specific "Gas-Less" model.

5. Manteniment

Un manteniment regular garanteix la longevitat i el funcionament segur de la vostra màquina de soldar.

• Netejar regularment: Use compressed air to blow out dust and debris from the machine's vents and internal components. Do this periodically, especially in dusty environments.
• Inspeccioneu els cables i les connexions: Check all cables (power, ground, torch) for cuts, fraying, or loose connections. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Manteniment de la torxa:
  • Clean the contact tip and nozzle regularly to remove spatter.
  • Replace worn contact tips and nozzles as needed.
  • Ensure the torch liner is free of kinks and blockages for smooth wire feeding.
• Mecanisme d'alimentació de filferro: Keep the wire feed rollers clean. Check for proper tension and alignment.
• Terra Clamp: Assegureu-vos que el sòl clamp is clean and makes good contact with the workpiece.
