4.4 Gas Connection (for MIG welding)
For MIG welding, connect the gas hose from the dual gauge regulator to the built-in gas valve on the welder. Attach the regulator to your shielding gas cylinder (e.g., C25 for steel, 100% Argon for aluminum). Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.
4.5 MIG Gun and Work Clamp Yhteys
Connect the 10 ft. MIG gun to the appropriate receptacle on the front panel. Attach the work cable and clamp to the work terminal. The work clamp must be securely attached to the workpiece to complete the electrical circuit.
4.6 SpoolRunner 100 Spool Gun Setup (for Aluminum Welding)
The Handler 190 is designed for direct plug-in of the SpoolRunner 100. Connect the SpoolRunner 100 to the dedicated port on the welder. A selector switch on the front panel allows you to switch between the standard MIG gun and the spool gun. No additional control box or adapter is required.
5. Käyttöohjeet
Before operating, ensure all safety precautions are understood and followed. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).
5.1 Alkuasetukset
Refer to the weld set-up guide located on the inside of the welder's cover. This guide provides recommended settings for different materials, thicknesses, and wire types. Adjust the voltage selector (1-7) and wire feed speed control knob according to the guide.
