1. Setting the welding current
2. Display of synergic parameters
Graphical display of the relationship between
the synergic welding parameters:
a. Welding current
b. Wire feed speed (m/min)
c. Arc type
Dip transfer/globular transfer (risk of
weld spatter)/spray transfer
d. Material thickness
3. Display of arc length/
shape of welded bead
4. Voltage trim
Turn the knob to increase or lower the
voltage. A lower voltage results in a more
focused weld seam with deeper penetration.
A higher voltage results in a wider weld seam
with lower penetration.
5. Display of voltage trim
6. Display of selected program
Licence-dependent
7. Active wire feeder
8. Selecting program
9. Pulse welding (Automig 270)
MIG pulse welding on/off
A constant welding current is present
in DC welding, whereas the current is
switching from a low level to a high level in
pulse welding. This creates a colder melt
bath and reduces the weld spatter. This
1 process is well-suited for welding in thin
materials.
10. Menu to selection
of welding function
a. Off
b. Spot
Welding in defined spot time, that
continues until the torch trigger has
been released.
c. Step welding
Welding time/pause time in defined
sequences. Welding continues, until the
torch trigger has been released.
d. DUO Plus TM
(Automig 270 Pulse)
DUO Plus pulsating wire (double
TM
pulses) in connection with synergic
MIG, that results in a TIG-like look to the
weld seam. It is possible to adjust the
distance between the droplets.
11. Arc adjust
Makes the arc warmer/colder by up- and
downgrading the droplet transfer during
welding.
Micro spatter can be reduced in DC.
The arc pressure and arc speed can be
increased by deeper penetration in pulse
welding.
12. MIGA MEMORY function
Save and easily recall the 5 preferred jobs/
favorite settings.
13. Menu
For setting of secondary parameters and
various other functions e.g. language
selection.
Quick Guide

Get started

1. Read instruction manual and quickguide prior to initial
operation.
2. Verify that wire feed rolls match the welding task and that
capillary tube and wire guide liner have the same colour
code as the wire feed rolls (see manual):
0.6 mm – white/black
0.8 mm – white
0.9 mm – grey
1.0 mm – blue
1.2 mm – red
U-shaped = aluminum, magnesium and other soft metals
V-shaped = steel and other solid wires
3. Insert the wire in the wire unit and make sure to lock the reel
correctly (see manual).
4. Adjust the wire feed tension according to the wire type.
Wires in aluminum, magnesium and other soft metals
requires less pressure than e.g. steel to be fed without any
problems (see manual).
5. Connect the correct gas bottle to the machine and adjust
gas flow.
6. Turn on the welding machine. Press the -wire inch key
pad in the wire feeder menu or the wire inch knob inside the
wire cabinet to feed the wire into the torch.
We recommend that only the front wire fastener is locked
during wire inching to lower the wire pressure. The back
wire fastener should be locked after finished inching.
7. Press the wire trigger and verify that the correct wire feed
unit is active (DUO). Select torch type in the torch menu.
8. Select program (8) according to material type, wire
dimension, gas- and wire type.
9. Start welding.
