DESCRIPTION

Thank you for choosing our product ! To get the best of your equipment, please read carefully the
following.
The MONOMIG 160-1 is a traditional welding unit (32kg) ; it is ventilated for semi-automatic welding (MIG or MAG)
en direct current (DC). It can weld any kind of wire : steel, stainless steel, aluminium. The handles located on the
top of the device have been designed to facilitate its moving on the floor.
POWER SUPPLY – START UP
• This machine is delivered with a 16A plug type EEC7/7. The machine must be plugged on a 230 V
(50-60Hz) socket with earth. The absorbed effective current (I1eff) is shown on the machine, for
maximal using conditions. Check that the power supply and its protection (fuse and/or circuit-
breaker) are compatible with the necessary current during use. In some countries, the change of
plug can be necessary to allow a use at maximal conditions. . The machine must be installed so that
the mains plug is accessible.
• The MONOMIG 160-1 can be switched on by pushing on the on/off button.
• Connect the torch to the European joint and the earth clamp to the part to be welded.
• Use a Ø200mm wire reel. The device is delivered to work with Ø0,8mm steel wire (wire reel not included).
• Place the reel on the support. Set the reel braker to prevent the wire from tangling because of reel inertia when
the welding is stopped. In any case, do not tighten too much !
• The motor roll has two wire passages (0,6 and 0,8mm). The indication that is seen on the roll is the one being
used. For a 0,8mm wire, use the 0,8mm passage.
• Proceed as follows to set the pressure roll wheel : untight at the maximum, operate the motor by pushing on
the torch trigger, tight the roll keeping the trigger pushed. When the wire starts to be driven, stop the
tightening.
• Check the contact tube at the extremity of the torch. Use a contact tube corresponding to the wire diameter.
• Place the flow-meter on the gas bottle. Connect it to the MONOMIG 160-1 with the supplied pipe. Put the 2 hose
clamps to prevent from leakages.
• A bottle of 1m

can be placed at the back of the device and fixed on the support with the supplied belt. WATCH
OUT : do not place a bottle bigger than 1m
• Open the gas (flow-rate : see following paragraphs)
• Your device is ready.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING IN STEEL / STAINLESS STEEL (MAG MODE)
The device is originally delivered to be used with Ø0,8mm steel or stainless steel wire. The contact tube, the roll
passage and the torch sheathing are meant for that purpose.
When a Ø0,6mm wire is being used, the contact tube has to be changed (ref. : 041905 ; not included). The motor
roll is reversible 0,6/0,8mm. In that case, the roll has to be placed so that the 0,6 indication can be seen.
Welding on steel or stainless steel needs a specific gas : argon + CO
to the use. To choose the right gas, contact your gas distributor.
When welding steel, the gas flow-rate is between 12 and 18L/min according to the environment and the welder
experience.
SEMI-AUTOMATIC WELDING IN ALUMINIUM (MIG MODE)
This device can also weld Ø0,8mm aluminium wire.
Here are the differences between a use with steel and a use with aluminium :
the pressure of motor pressure rolls on the wire : put a minimum of pressure in order not to squash the wire.
-
Capillar : do not use the capillar used when welding with steel wire.
-
Torch : use a special aluminium torch. This aluminium torch is equipped with a teflon sheathing in order to
-
reduce frictions. DO NOT cut the sheathing close to the joint !! This sheathing is needed to guide the
wire from the rolls (see drawing here below).
Contact tube : use a Ø0,8mm special aluminium contact tube (ref. : 041509 – not included).
