MAKING A WELD WITH THE SPOOL GUN

ADAPTER KIT AND SPOOL GUN

INSTALLED

In either toggle switch position, closing either gun

trigger will cause the electrode of both guns to be

electrically “HOT”. Be sure unused gun is posi-

tioned so electrode or tip will not contact metal

case or other metal common to work.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Setting the toggle switch to “Push Gun” position

disables the spool gun operation and spool gun

gas solenoid valve. Closing the gun trigger enables

the push gun welding and both electrodes will be

electrically “HOT”.

2. Setting the toggle switch to the “Spool Gun” posi-

tion disables the built-in push gun operation and

feeder gas solenoid valve. It will also enables the

spool gun operation and spool gun gas solenoid

valve. Closing the spool gun trigger enables spool

gun welding and both electrodes will be electrically

“HOT”.

3. Operation with POWER MIG® 216:

• Turn the POWER MIG® 216 input power ON.

• Adjusting the voltage tap control will increase or

decrease your welding voltage.

• Adjusting the wire speed control on the spool

gun will increase or decrease the spool gun

wire feed speed.

NOTE: Adjusting the wire feed speed control on the

Machineʼs Front Panel has no affect on the spool

gunʼs wire feed speed.

4. Refer to the welding procedure on the machine or

Section F of this Instruction Manual for initial alu-

minum settings. Make a test weld to determine the

final settings.

5. Set the spool gun selector switch to “Push Gun”

position to return to push gun operation.
