MIG200G CO2 gas shielded welding machines of our company are inverter welding machines manufactured by our
Their principle is to commutate the power frequency of 50Hz/60Hz into direct current, and then utilize the high-power
device IGBT to invert it into high frequency (15 KHz/16KHz), then perform voltage-drop and commutate, and output
high-power D.C power supply via Pulse Width Modulation (PWM). Since the switch power inversion technology is
adopted, the weight and volume of the welding machine is brought down greatly with a conversion efficiency increase of
more than 30%. Characteristic: stable wire feed rate, little splatter, portable, energy-saving, low electromagnetic noise.
The CO2 gas shielded welding machine of our company is equipped with unique electronic reactor circuit, precisely
controlling the short-circuiting transfer and mixed transfer of welding, producing excellent welding characteristic.
Compared with silicon controlled welding machine and welder with taps, our products have the following merits: stable
wire feed rate, portable, energy-saving, electromagnetic noise free. Besides, our products have merits such as electric
network fluctuation self-compensation function, little splatter, good arc starting, deep welding pool, high duty cycle etc.
This equipment can be applicable in large-scale plants such as shipyards, steel structure plants etc. featuring high
The CO2 gas shielded welding machine of our company has function of ending arc On/Off. Arc starting current and ending
arc current can be adjusted separately, being very applicable for automatic welding. This machine is most suitable for the

1) Connect the main circuit cable of the wire feeder to the corresponding output end of the machine, and fasten with
bolts.
2) Connect the plug of the control circuit 6-core cable of the wire feeder to the corresponding interface of the machine
and lock.
3) Connect the plug of earth wire to the corresponding output end of the machine, and fasten with bolts.
4) Install the CO2 gas meter on the gas cylinder; connect the trachea of the wire feeder to the CO2 gas meter tightly.
5) Plug the welding gun to the welding gun output socket of the wire feeder and rotate 45°clockwise. Tighten the welding
gun fastening screws with in turn spanner so as that the welding gun contacts with the wire feeder output socket
reliably. Connect the controller plug and the gas connection to the wire feeder.
6) Install the wire reel loaded with welding wire on the shaft bracket of the wire feeder, select different wire feeding
7) Loosen the pressure arm, feed the welding wire into wire feeding pipe through gadget wheel and groove. Press the
pressure arm so that the wire pressing wheel presses the welding wire tightly to prevent the welding wire from sliding.
Do not push the pressure arm too hard; prevent the welding wire from deformation and interfering with wire feeding.
The welding wire roll rotates clockwise to loosen the welding wire. In order to prevent the leading end of wire reel from
loosening, it is generally fixed to the fixing hole of the wire reel. Cut off this part of welding wire to prevent the winding
8) Explanation to the polarity conversion: this machine has the polarity conversion function. When use solid wire in work,
When use self shielded flux-cored welding wire, the above said quick-plug should be connected to negative output
Connect proper power cord to the distribution box with corresponding capacity according to the input voltage and
current of the welding machine (See technical parameter table). Do not connect to the inappropriate voltage and
make sure that the difference of power supply is within permitted range.

NOTES OR PREVENTIVE MEASURES
1. Environment
1) The machine can perform in environment where conditions are dry with a dampness level of max 90%.
3) Avoid welding in sunshine or drippings. Do not let water enter the gas
2. Safety norms
Our welding machine has installed protection circuit of over voltage, over current and over heat. When voltage, output
current and temperature of machine are exceeding the rated standard, welding machine will stop working
automatically. Because this will be damage to welding machine, user must pay attention to following.
3) No over voltage!
Power voltage can be found in diagram of main technical data. Automatic compensation circuit of voltage will
assure that welding current keeps is in allowable range. If power voltage is exceeding allowable range limits, it
can damage the components of machine. The operator should understand this situation and take preventive
measures.
4) There is a grounding screw behind welding machine, with a grounding marker on it. Before operation, welding
crust must be grounded reliably with cable which section is over 6 square millimeters, in order to prevent from
static electricity, and accidents because of electricity leaking.
5) If welding time is exceeding duty cycle limited, welding machine will stop working for protection. Because
machine is overheated, temperature control switch is on “ON’’ position and the indicator light is red. In this
situation, you don’t have to pull the plug, let the fan cool the machine. When the indicator light is off, and the
temperature goes down to the standard range, it can weld again.

QUESTIONS TO BE RUN INTO DURING WELDING
The phenomenon listed below may be relevant to accessories used, welding material, surroundings and power supply.
Pleas improve surroundings and avoid these situations.
1) Examine whether grounding wire clamp contacts with the work pieces well.
The deviation of power voltage from rated value may cause that the output current does no accord with adjusted value.
When the power voltage is lower than rated value, the maximum output current may be lower than rated value.
2) Examine whether there is foreign substance such as oil, dirt, rust, paint etc. on the base metal.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING!
The power shall be cut off completely before all maintenance, overhaul works. Make sure to pull
1. Remove dirt regularly with dry compressed air. If the welding machine is used in surroundings with heavy smoke and
polluted air, carry out dust removal treatment at least once in a month.
2. The pressure of compressed air shall fall to required level to prevent damage to small components in the machine.
3. Examine inside electric joints and ensure perfect contact (Especially plugs and sockets). Fasten the loosing joints. In
case of oxidation, remove oxide film with sand paper and connect again.
4. Prevent water from entering into the machine and prevent the machine from getting moist. If any, blow and dry.
Measure the insulation with megohmmeter to make sure it is qualified for use.
5. If the welding machine is not used for a long time, pack the machine in original package and store in dry
surroundings.
6. Every time the wire feeder operates for 300hours, grind the electrical carbon brush and clear up the armature
commutator. Rinse speed reducer, apply 2# Molybdenum Disulfide lubricant to the turbine, whirlpool rod and bearing.

EARLIER CHECKING DIAGRAM FOR THE ABNORMAL
Conclusion of an electric welding machine failure could not determine early even if abnormal phenomenon such as
welding unable, arc unstable or bad welding effect occur.
The above-mentioned abnormal phenomenon may be caused by some reasons without any failure but the machine
operates normally. For example: tight parts loosen, forgetting to switch on, wrong set up, cable broken and gas rubber
pipe cracked, etc. Therefore, please test and inspect those factors before the machine to be delivered back the factory for
overhauling is determined because a large number of troubles may be readily solved probably.
For this reason, an initial diagnosis list for general welding troubles is shown below. A trouble happened may be found in
the column of “Abnormal items” on up-right of the list, please inspect and maintain for the corresponding items which have
“〇" mark in the column according to the following list respectively.
