WELDER SPECIFICATIONS DESCRIPTION Table 2. Duty Cycle Ratings Duty Cycle Rating Maximum Welding Time 20% 40% 60% 80% 100% 2 minutes 4 minutes 6 minutes 8 minutes 10 minutes Required Resting Time Your new MIG (GMAW) core (FCAW) wire feed welder is designed for maintenance and sheet metal fabrication. The welder consists of a single-phase power transformer, stabilizer, r, and a unique built-in control/feeder. Now you can weld sheet metal from 24 gauge up to 3/16 inch thick with a single pass.
Power Switch – This switch turns the welder ON and OFF. (Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position before performing any maintenance on the welder.) KNOW YOUR WELDER Handle Wire Speed Power Switch Voltage Selector Ground Clamp Ground Cable Power Cable Gun Cable Welding Gun Figure 1. Model 3130 Handle– Rugged, top mounted handle allows for easy transport of your welder. Wire Speed Control– Use this dial to adjust the speed at which the welder feeds wire to the gun.
WELDER INSTALLATION POWER SOURCE CONNECTION POWER REQUIREMENTS This welder is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz, single-phase alternating current (AC) power source fused with a 20 Amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommendedthat a electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into m which the welder will be plugged and that the receptacle is properly fused and grounded.
pushing upwards. (Alignment of the second tab is made easier by applying pressure to the point shown below.) 3. Once the handle tabs are properly seated in the face shield slots, install the handle cover by pushing it into the recessed area on the face shield. 4. Install the dark glass by sliding it into place behind the glass retaining tabs. Note: if your face shield was supplied with a 3” x 3.
Gas Selection For Aluminium Welding with Aluminium Wire Use only pure Argon when welding Aluminium. INSTALL THE SHIELDING GAS WARNING IMPROPER HANDLING AND MAINTENANCE OF COMPRESSED GAS CYLINDERS AND REGULATORS CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! Always secure gas cylinders to the welding cart, a wall, or other support to prevent the cylinder from falling over and rupturing. Read, understand, and follow all the COMPRESSED GASSES AND EQUIPMENT HAZARDS in the SAFETY SUMMARY at the front of this manual.
Change the drive roller according to the following steps: 1. Open the door to the welder drive compartment. 2. Remove the drive tension by loosening the tension adjusting screw and lifting the Drive Tension Adjustor up, away from the Drive Tension Arm. Pull the drive tension arm away from the drive roller. 3. If there is wire already installed in welder, roll it back onto the wire spool hand-turning the spool counterclockwise.
Figure 7. Wire Installation ure 8A. If you are installing an eight-inch spool, install the spindle adapter and drive brake hardware as shown in Figure 8B. The purpose of the drive brake is to cause the spool of wire to stop turning at nearly the same moment that wire feeding stops. Figure 8A. Drive Brake Hardware Installation Figure 8B. Spindle Adapter and Drive Brake Installation 6. Once the drive brake hardware is installed, set the spool tension.
17. Straighten the gun cable and pull the trigger on the welding gun to feed the wire through the gun assembly. 18. When at least an inch of wire sticks out past the end of the gun, release the trigger. 19. Select a contact tip stamped with the same diameter as the wire being used. If stamped in metric see DESCRIPTION. Note: Due to inherent variances in x-cored welding wire, it may be necessary to use a concore wire tact tip one size larger than your if wire jams occur. 20.
B. For MIG (GMAW) welding, mount the Ground Clamp ring terminal to the “” mounting post and the Torch ring terminal to the “+” mounting post. See shown in Figure 9. OPERATION Operation of this welder consists of selecting and adjusting operating controls for optimum voltage (welding heat) and wire speed settings. CONTROLS AND INDICATORS Figure 9.

piece farthest away from you, and at an angle similar to that which will be used when welding. (SEE HOLDING THE GUN on page 18 if you are uncertain of the angle at which you will be welding) 4. With your free hand, turn the Wire Speed Dial to maximum and continue to hold onto the knob. WARNING EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN! Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc or being welding until you are adequately protected.
Angle A Figure 10. Gun Position, Angle A 2. Angle B (Figure 11) can be varied for two reasons: to improve the ability to see the arc in relation to the weld puddle and to direct the force of the arc. Angle B work piece and drag it along while welding. This can be very helpful to beginning welders to steady the gun, allowing the welder to concentrate on welding technique.
Figure 12. Travel Direction For most welding jobs you will pull the gun along the weld joint to take advantage of the greater weld puddle visibility. 2. TRAVEL SPEED is the rate at which the gun is being pushed or pulled along the weld joint. For a heat setting, the faster the travel speed, the lower the penetration and the lower and narrower the weld bead. Likewise, the slower the travel speed, the deeper the penetration and the higher and wider the ished weld bead. Figure 13. Stringer Bead 2.
force, is directed more toward the metal above the weld joint. This is to help prevent the weld puddle from running downward while still allowing slow enough travel speed to achieve good penetration. A good starting point for angle B is about 30 degrees DOWN from being perpendicular to the work piece. Figure 16. Horizontal Position 3. The VERTICAL POSITION (Figure 17) is position.
The illustrations in Figure 19 show the sequence for laying multiple pass beads into a single V butt joint. NOTE: WHEN USING SELF-SHIELDING FLUX-CORE WIRE it is very important to thoroughly chip and brush the slag off each completed weld bead before making another pass or the next pass will be of poor quality. SPECIAL WELDING METHODS SPOT WELDING The purpose of a spot weld is to join pieces of metal together with a spot of weld instead of a continuous weld bead.
the top piece of metal and the arc is directed through the hole to penetrate into the bottom piece. The puddle is allowed to up the hole leaving a spot weld that is smooth and with the surface of the top piece. Select the wire diameter, heat setting, and tune in the wire speed as if you were welding the same thickness material with a continuous bead. 3. The LAP SPOT METHOD directs the welding arc to penetrate the bottom and top pieces, at the same time, right along each side of the lap joint seam.
Note: Due to inherent variances in xcored welding wire, it may be necessary to use a contact tip one size larger than your core wire if wire jams occur. 1. If the wire burns back into the tip, remove the tip from the gun and clean the hole running through it with an oxygen-acetylene torch tip cleaner or tip drill. 2. Over time, the hole in the contact tip will become worn by the wire passing through it.
