3. The 208/230 volt 50/60 Hz model POWER MIG is sh i pp ed wi th a 7 f t. (2 .1 m) . in pu t ca bl e an d pl ug connected to the welder. 4. Using the instructions in Figure A.2, have a quali- fied electrician connect a receptacle (Customer Supplied) or cable to the input power lines and the system ground per the U.S. National Electrical Code and an[...]

GUN AND CABLE INST ALLA TION The Magnum 250L gun and cable provided with the POWER MIG 215 is factory installed with a liner for .035-.045" (0.9-1.2 mm) electrode and an .035" (0.9 mm) contact tip. Be sure that the contact tip, liner, and drive rolls all match the size of the wire being used. Turn the welder power switch off before instal[...]

B-2 B-2 OPERA TION PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The POWER MIG™ 215 is a complete semiautomatic DC voltage arc welding machine built to meet NEMA specifications. It combines a tapped transformer volt- age power source with a constant speed wire feeder to form a reliable robust performance welding system. A simple control scheme, consisting of continuous fu[...]

B-3 B-3 OPERA TION PROCEDURE FOR CHANGING DRIVE AND IDLE ROLL SETS 1. Turn off the power source. 2. Release the pressure on the idle roll by swinging the adjustable pressure arm down toward the back of the machine. Lift the cast idle roll assembly and allow it to sit in an upright position.. 3. Remove the outside wire guide retaining plate by loose[...]

B-4 B-4 OPERA TION FEEDING WIRE ELECTRODE When triggering, the electrode and drive mechanism are electrically “hot” relative to work and ground and remain “hot” several seconds after the gun trigger is released. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE: Check that drive rolls, guide plates and gun parts [...]

B-5 B-5 OPERA TION 3. Press the trigger to feed the wire electrode through the gun and cable. For solid wire cut the electrode within approximately 3/8" (10 mm) of the end of the contact tip [3/4" (20 mm) for Outershield ® ]. 4. When welding with gas, turn on the gas supply and set the required flow rate (typically 25-35 CFH; 12- 16 lite[...]

B-6 B-6 OPERA TION 9. When no more welding is to be done, close valve on gas cylinder (if used), momentarily operate gun trigger to release gas pressure, and turn off POWER MIG 215. N OT E : When using Innershield electrode, the gas nozzle may be removed from the insulation on the end of the gun and replaced with the gas- less nozzle. This will giv[...]

E-2 E-2 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS (SYMPTOMS) Major Physical or Electrical Damage is Evident There is no wire feed or open cir- cuit voltage when the gun trigger is pulled. Input power is applied to POWER MIG 215. Output voltage and wire feed is pre- sent when gun trigger is not pulled (not activated). Machine output is low. Welds are “cold”, wel[...]

E-3 E-3 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS (SYMPTOMS) Poor arc striking with electrode sticking or blasting off. Auxiliary receptacle is “dead” - no auxiliary voltage. Rough wire feeding or wire will not feed but drive rolls are turning. POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. Make sure settings for wire feed speed and voltage are correct for process being used. 2. The gas sh[...]

E-4 E-4 TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEMS (SYMPTOMS) The wire feed stops while welding. When trigger is released and pulled again the wire feed starts. No control of wire feed speed. Other machine functions are nor- mal. Gas does not flow when gun trigger is pulled. POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. Check the wire feed drive rolls and motor for smooth operation. 2. Check f[...]
