Proper setup is crucial for safe and effective welding. Ensure the welder is placed on a stable, level surface with adequate ventilation.

4.1 അൺപാക്കിംഗും പരിശോധനയും

Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. The package includes:

• Handler 190 with built-in gas valve
• 10 ft. MIG gun (H100S4-10)
• Dual gauge regulator & gas hose
• 10 ft. work cable & clamp
• 10 ft. power cord with plug
• Extra .030 contact tips
• Sample spool of .030 flux-cored wire
• 8-inch spool adapter
• Owner's manual and set-up guide
• SpoolRunner 100 with 10 ft. cable in plastic case

4.2 പവർ കണക്ഷൻ

Connect the 10 ft. power cord to a dedicated 230V AC power outlet. Ensure the circuit can handle the welder's power requirements.

4.3 Wire Spool Installation

Open the side panel of the welder. Install the appropriate wire spool (flux-cored or solid wire) onto the spool hub assembly. The unit accommodates 4 or 8-inch spools. Thread the wire through the drive roll mechanism.

4.4 Gas Connection (for MIG welding)

For MIG welding, connect the gas hose from the dual gauge regulator to the built-in gas valve on the welder. Attach the regulator to your shielding gas cylinder (e.g., C25 for steel, 100% Argon for aluminum). Ensure all connections are tight to prevent leaks.

4.5 MIG Gun and Work Clamp കണക്ഷൻ

Connect the 10 ft. MIG gun to the appropriate receptacle on the front panel. Attach the work cable and clamp to the work terminal. The work clamp must be securely attached to the workpiece to complete the electrical circuit.

4.6 SpoolRunner 100 Spool Gun Setup (for Aluminum Welding)

The Handler 190 is designed for direct plug-in of the SpoolRunner 100. Connect the SpoolRunner 100 to the dedicated port on the welder. A selector switch on the front panel allows you to switch between the standard MIG gun and the spool gun. No additional control box or adapter is required.

5. പ്രവർത്തന നിർദ്ദേശങ്ങൾ

Before operating, ensure all safety precautions are understood and followed. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE).

5.1 പ്രാരംഭ ക്രമീകരണങ്ങൾ

Refer to the weld set-up guide located on the inside of the welder's cover. This guide provides recommended settings for different materials, thicknesses, and wire types. Adjust the voltage selector (1-7) and wire feed speed control knob according to the guide.
