Mig/Mag Welding; Manual Short Arc Mig Welding - Fimer KING 320 Mode D'emploi

To select this welding mode :
To choose this welding mode use switch
10, select MIG and press confirm.
MIG/MAG welding (Metal Inert Gas and
Metal Active Gas) is continuous wire feed
welding that provides a higher current
density compared to welding with a flux-
covered electrode; this allows increased
penetration and speed and the joint can be
filled with less strokes. Welding is carried out
by melting a metallic electrode, consisting of
a continuous wire, in a welding pool at a
constant speed, controlled by the welding
torch. When the wire starts to feed, it touches
the area that requires welding, creating an
electric arc; the arc melts the wire, which is
then deposited on the workpiece.
This welder can be used with the following
types of wire:
1. solid wire: must always be used with a
gas shield.
2. Flux cored for gas welding: the centre of
the wire contains a mineral product that
improves the quality of the weld (this must
always be used with gas).
The correct method for connecting the torch
and the earth cable can be seen in the table

There are two principal MIG-MAG welding
modes:
1.Manual short arc
2.Synergic short arc

By turning switch 10 it is possible to choose
from the different MIG-MAG welding modes;
press the switch to select the desired option.
Once selected the follow screen will appear:

ADJUSTMENTS AND SETTINGS:
Button 9 controls the current and the
machine power.
Button 10 adjusts the welding settings on the
screen:
Wire speed: Used to set the speed of the
welding wire.
Soft-start: Used to modify the speed at
which the wire approaches in order to obtain
a soft arc ignition; high values correspond to
low approach speeds.
