5. Remo ve all combustible materials from the work site. If you can not remov e them, protect them with f ire- proof co vers. NEVER perform welding operations on a container that has held toxic, com- bustible or flammable liquids or vapors. NEVER perform welding operations in an area con- taining combustible vapors, flammable liquids or explosive d[...]

HEAL TH HAZARDS The welding process can be hazardous to your health. Therefore, follow these precautions: 1. AL W A YS wear protecti ve clothing without pockets and cuf fs. W ear a helmet, glov es and shoes with an insu- lating sole. 2. AL W A YS use a welding mask or helmet with the properly tinted protecti ve glass in the shade adequate to the we[...]

This unit is also capable of welding with either 0.030 inch (0.8 mm) or 0.035 inch (0.9 mm) flux cored weld- ing wire (FCA W) process. The use of shielding gas is not required for this welding process. Please refer to the instructions pro vided in this manual for proper machine setup. The use of larger diameter wire makes welding dif f icult. The r[...]

INST ALLA TION OF THE WELDING WIRE The po wer source is supplied with a spool of .030 MIG W elding Wire. Install the wire into the feeding system by follo wing the instructions belo w and referring to Figure 3. MIG (GMA W) welding applications require argon shielding gas. Remove the contact tip and gun nozzle from the MIG gun before starting this p[...]

When changing the wire diameter being used, or replacing the wire feed roll, be sure that the correct groove for the wire diameter selected is inside, closest to the machine. The wire is driven by the inside groove. Feed rolls are marked on the side identifying the nearest groove. Feed rolls installed on the FP 120, FP 130, FP 160 are marked "[...]

ti ve pole. When the wire is fed and touches the workpiece, an electric arc is produced. The arc melts the wire that is deposited on the workpiece. MIG welding uses a steel coppered wire as an electrode and an inert gas (CO 2 , CO 2 /Argon mix or pure Ar gon) for protection of the weld pool. The wire can be one of three types: 1. Solid wire - AL W [...]

2. Make sure that the polarity of torch and ground cable is correctly set. For gasless welding, the ground cable must be connected to the positiv e ter- minal (+), while the torch must be connected to the ne g- ati ve terminal (-) (see Figure 4). 3. Connect the ground cable to the w orkpiece. Make sure that the contact is good. 4. Mak e sure that t[...]

REPLA CEMENT OF THE WIRE SPOOL The welding power source is supplied with a mini wire spool of about 0.5 Kg of 0.024” (0.6mm) diameter wire. When the wire spool is finished it can be replaced with a wire spool of 2 lbs. or 10 lbs. The wire is pushed by a roll which is mov ed by a series of mechanisms. The roll has two groov es, one marked by 0.035[...]

The torch switch must be pressed thoroughly to perform its three functions: gas flow , wire feed and welding current.) Start welding and decrease the wire speed gradually . Continue to decrease the wire speed and listen to the sound. The sound will change from a crackling noise to a regular and strong buzzing (similar to the sound of frying bacon).[...]

GENERAL OPERA TING TIPS Contact tips and nozzles should be cleaned frequently . Spatter b uildup may cause bridging between nozzle and tip.This could cause electrical shorting between the nozzle and work piece as well as poor or improper gas flo w . Regularly inspect the conductor tube, handle, cable hose, and other parts of the MIG gun for abrasio[...]

FP-200 WIRE LINER REPLA CEMENT T o remov e the wire liner: 1. Lay the MIG gun out on a table or on the floor in a straight line. Make sure the gun is fully extended and all twists in the cable are removed. 2. Remo ve the nozzle, dif fuser , contact tip and the left gun handle case. 3. Unscre w the wire liner stop from the rear connector plug. 4. Re[...]
