GB
• Check that there are no flammable materials in the vicinity of the work area
• Attach the Earth Clamp (11) to a cleaned area of one of the parts, as near as
practical to where the joint will be
• Ensure that there is both a responsible person and an operable fire
extinguisher at hand
• Connect the machine to the mains power supply
Welding
WARNING: Using a welder correctly is a technical skill. A welder used incorrectly
can be highly dangerous. The information presented below is general guidance
only. If you are not entirely confident in your ability to use this tool safely, DO
NOT USE.
1. Move the On/Off Switch (2) to the 'ON' position
2. Hold the Torch Handle (7) in one hand and the Welding Mask (12) in the other
3. Position the torch so that the Tip (23) is approximately 10mm away from the
metal, at an angle of approximately 75˚
4. Hold the mask over your face and squeeze the Trigger (8)
5. An arc should strike between the metal and the tip. Hold the Trigger for 1-2
seconds and release
6. Allow the weld to cool slightly and move the mask away from your face. If the
settings are correct, a round 'spot' weld should form
7. If the weld has not fully penetrated the metal, increase the voltage setting. If a
hole has been made in the metal, reduce the voltage setting
• Practise making 'spot' welds until you are confident using the machine, and
selecting settings
• An alternative to spot welding suitable for a mig welder is a plug weld where
the top surface has holes drilled along a surface and a pool of the weld
material fills each hole. Spot welds are possible for thinner material with a mig
welder but the welds are more difficult and may not be as satisfactory
• To form a 'seam' weld, hold the Trigger for longer, and slowly move the torch
forward at the same time
• If the machine settings are correct, the arc should be steady, and produce a
crackling sound.
• If you hear a popping sound, or struggle to maintain the arc, adjust the wire
speed. If you feel the torch trying to 'push back', reduce the wire speed
• Creating neat, high quality welds is a skill that takes time to master. Practise
and good preparation should result in satisfactory welds

Accessories

• A range of accessories including personal protective equipment and welding
tools are available from your Silverline stockist. Spare parts can be obtained
from toolsparesonline.com
Maintenance
WARNING: Always unplug the welding machine from the mains supply and
allow to cool fully before attempting to fit or replace any part.
Replacing tips
• As the welder is used, the Tip (23) may become worn. This will make the arc
difficult to control
1. To replace the Tip, remove the Shroud (9) from the torch, and unscrew the Tip
2. Check that the new Tip is the correct size for the Wire being used
3. Thread the new Tip over the end of the Wire, and screw into the torch. Replace
the Shroud
Cleaning
Disconnect the machine from the mains supply before cleaning
• Keep your machine clean. Always clean dust or particles away and never allow
ventilation holes to become blocked
• Use a soft brush or dry cloth to clean the machine. If available, blow through
the ventilation holes with clean, dry, compressed air
Disposal
Always adhere to national regulations when disposing of electronic equipment that
is no longer functional and is not viable for repair.
• Do not dispose of power tools, or other waste electrical and electronic
equipment (WEEE), with household waste
• Contact your local waste disposal authority for information on the correct way
to dispose of electronic equipment
Solution
