B-2 B-2 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The POWER MIG 300 is a complete semiautomatic multi-process DC arc welding machine offering CV and CC DC welding. It is rated for 300 amps, 32 volts at a 60% duty cycle. The standard machine is equipped to weld CC-Stick, CC-GTAW, CV-FCAW, and synergic and non-synergic CV-GMAW / GMAW-P and Pulse-o[...]

5. MULTI-PROCESS PANEL - This panel enables selection of weld modes as well as adjustment of certain weld parameters within each weld mode. The eight discrete LED ’ s are used to identify which selec- tion will be shown on the display. The possible selections are: • Weld Mode (Process selection choices) • Preflow / Postflow • Run-In • Sta[...]

B-4 B-4 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 SETTING AND CONFIGURING THE POWER MIG 300 FOR WELDING • Check that the electrode polarity is correct for the process and turn the Power Switch to the "ON" position. After the "boot-up" period (approximately 20 seconds), the POWER MIG 300 will default to the last preset weld mode that was active[...]

B-5 B-5 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 MUL TI-PROCESS P ANEL FUNCTIONS Weld Mode Setting the Weld Mode is selecting the proper program from the ones available in the machine ’ s memory for a particular welding application. The table on the right side of the front panel (See Figure B.2) gives information on the different programs available in this machi[...]

B-6 B-6 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 Arc Control (See Table B.2) There are no specific unit values offered because the setting of this feature largely depends upon operator preference. Arc Control has a different effect on the character of the arc depending upon the welding process applied. In SMAW (STICK mode), arc control adjusts the arc force. It ca[...]

B-7 B-7 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 In the case of special waveforms designed for pulsed weld- ing aluminum, Pulse on Pulse ™ , the effect is similar to what occurs with standard pulse. As the Arc Control is increased from +1 to +10 the frequency of the Pulse on Pulse array increases. As the frequency increases the weld bead ripples become less dist[...]

B-10 B-10 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 SPECIAL WELDING PROCESSES A V AILABLE ON THE POWER MIG 300 PULSE WELDING (GMA W-P) The pulsed-arc process is, by definition, a spray trans- fer process wherein spray transfer occurs in pulses at regularly spaced intervals. In the time between pulses, the welding current is reduced and no metal transfer occurs. Pul[...]

B-1 1 B-1 1 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 PULSE-ON-PULSE ™ (GMA W-PP) Pulse on Pulse ™ is a Lincoln process specifically designed for use in welding relatively thin (less than 1/4" thick) aluminum (See Table B.3). It gives weld beads with very consistent uniform ripple. In Pulse on Pulse modes, two distinct pulse types are used, instead of the [...]

B-12 B-12 OPERA TION POWER MIG 300 POWER MODE ™ The Power Mode ™ process was developed by Lincoln to maintain a stable and smooth arc at low procedure settings which are needed to weld thin metal without pop-outs or burning-through. For Aluminum welding, it provides excellent control and the ability to maintain constant arc length. This results[...]
