5.1 Cysylltiad Pwer

The FLARING FM155 operates on 110V AC power. Ensure your power source meets the voltage requirements and is properly grounded. Use a dedicated circuit if possible to avoid overloading.

5.2 Wire Installation (Gasless MIG)

For Gasless MIG welding, install the flux-cored wire spool. The machine supports 0.030" (0.8mm), 0.035" (0.9mm), and 0.040" (1.0mm) flux core wire sizes. The included wire is 0.8mm (0.5kg).

  1. Agorwch yr adran bwydo gwifren.
  2. Place the wire spool onto the spool retainer. Ensure it rotates freely.
  3. Bwydwch y wifren drwy'r canllaw gwifren ac i mewn i fecanwaith y rholer gyrru.
  4. Secure the wire with the wire pressing wheel, ensuring proper tension.
  5. Caewch y compartment.
  6. Connect the MIG welding torch to the appropriate port on the front panel.

5.3 Electrode Holder and Ground Clamp Connection (Stick/Lift TIG)

For Stick welding or Lift TIG (requires an additional TIG torch), connect the electrode holder and ground clamp:

  1. Cysylltwch y ddaear clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the welder.
  2. Connect the electrode holder cable to the positive (+) terminal on the welder.
  3. Atodwch y ddaear clamp yn ddiogel i'r darn gwaith neu'r bwrdd weldio, gan sicrhau cyswllt trydanol da.

6. Cyfarwyddiadau Gweithredu

The FLARING FM155 offers three welding modes: Gasless MIG, Stick, and Lift TIG. Select the appropriate mode using the controls on the front panel.

6.1 Gasless MIG Welding

Gasless MIG welding uses flux-cored wire, eliminating the need for external shielding gas. This is ideal for outdoor use or when portability is key.

  1. Ensure flux-cored wire is correctly installed (refer to Section 5.2).
  2. Select "MIG Gasless" mode on the control panel.
  3. Adjust current (Ampoedran) a chyfainttage settings based on the material thickness and wire diameter. The LED display will guide you.
  4. Position the MIG torch at the desired angle (typically 10-15 degrees from vertical) and maintain a consistent stick-out.
  5. Press the trigger to initiate the arc and begin welding.
