Ensure that the visible, stenciled size on the drive roll side facing you matches the wire size being used. 5. Carefully detach the end of the wire from the spool mai[...]

B-4 OPERA TION B-4 MAKING A WELD FIGURE B.5 – WELDING SETUP READ the LEARNING TO WELD section of this man- ual prior to making your first weld. Also, refer to Table B.1 and the Procedure Decal located on the inside of the wire drive compartment door of your machine for process selection, consumables, and quick tips for welding. 1. Select the righ[...]

B-5 OPERA TION B-5 MIG PAK HD CLEANING TIP AND GAS NOZZLE Keep the contact tip and nozzle clean to avoid arc bridging between them. Bridging can result in a short- ed nozzle, poor welds and an overheated gun. Hint: Anti-stick spray or gel, available from a welding suppli- er, may reduce buildup and aid in spatter removal. CHANGING MACHINE OVER TO F[...]

B-6 OPERA TION B-6 MIG PAK HD LEARNING T O WELD No one can learn to weld simply by reading about it. Skill comes only with practice. The following pages will help the operator to understand welding and develop this skill. THE ARC-WELDING CIRCUIT The operator ’ s knowledge of arc welding must go beyond the arc itself. The operator must know how to[...]

B-7 OPERA TION B-7 The “ arc stream ” is seen in the middle of the picture. This is the electric arc created by the electric current flowing through the space between the end of the wire electrode and the base metal. The temperature of this arc is about 6000 ° F, which is more than enough to melt metal. The arc is very bright, as well as hot, [...]

B-8 OPERA TION B-8 MIG PAK HD For GMAW (MIG) Process 1. Is most of my welding performed on 16 gauge and lighter materials? 2. Can I afford the extra expense, space, and lack of portability required for gas cylinders and gas sup- ply? 3. Do I require clean, finished-looking welds? If you have answered yes to all the above questions GMAW may be the p[...]

B-9 OPERA TION B-9 MIG PAK HD Penetration Unless a weld penetrates close to 100% of the metal thickness, a butt joint will be weaker than the material welded together. In the example shown in Figure B.11, the total weld is only half the thickness of the material thus the weld is only approximately half as strong as the metal. FIGURE B.11 In the exa[...]

B-10 OPERA TION B-10 MIG PAK HD FIGURE B.14 Vertical-down Welding Refer to Figure B.15 Vertical-down welds are applied at a fast pace. These welds are therefore shallow and narrow and, as such, are excellent for sheet metal. Suggested settings for welding Vertical-down welds are found in table b.1. Use stringer beads and tip the gun in the directio[...]

B-1 1 OPERA TION B-1 1 MIG PAK HD ARC RAYS can burn eyes and skin. When using an open arc process, it Is necessary to use correct eye, head and body protection. Protect yourself and others, read “ ARC RAYS can burn ” at the front of this manual. 2. The Correct Way To Strike An Arc 1. Be sure the work clamp makes good electrical contact to the w[...]

B-12 OPERA TION B-12 MIG PAK HD Helpful Hints 1. For general welding, it is not necessary to weave the arc, neither forward or backward nor sideways. Weld along at a steady pace. You will find it easier. 2. When welding on thin plate, you will find that you will have to increase the welding speed, whereas when welding on heavy plate, it is necessar[...]

B-14 OPERA TION B-14 MIG PAK HD FIGURE B.22 3. The Correct Electrical Stickout (ESO) The electrical stickout (ESO) is the distance from the end of the contact tip to the end of the wire. See Figure B.22. Once the arc has been established, maintaining the correct ESO becomes extremely important. The ESO should be approximately 3/8 to 1/2 inch (10 to[...]

B-15 OPERA TION B-15 TROUBLESHOOTING WELDS Good welds have excellent appearance. To Eliminate Porosity (In order of priority): 1. Check or reset WFS & Volts on chart inside door. 2. Clean joints from moisture, paint, rust etc. 3. Increase stickout. 4. Decrease drag angle. 5. Decrease travel speed. NOTE: Always be sure the joint is free from moi[...]

B-16 OPERA TION B-16 Proper Gun Handling Most feeding problems are caused by improper han- dling of the gun cable or electrodes. 1. Do not kink or pull the gun around sharp corners 2. Keep the gun cable as straight as practical when welding. 3. Do not allow dolly wheels or trucks to run over the cables. 4. Keep the cable clean. 5. Innershield elect[...]
