5. Enstalasyon

5.1 Koneksyon pouvwa

The FLARING FM155 operates on 110V AC power. Ensure your power source meets the voltage requirements and is properly grounded. Use a dedicated circuit if possible to avoid overloading.

5.2 Wire Installation (Gasless MIG)

For Gasless MIG welding, install the flux-cored wire spool. The machine supports 0.030" (0.8mm), 0.035" (0.9mm), and 0.040" (1.0mm) flux core wire sizes. The included wire is 0.8mm (0.5kg).

  1. Open the wire feed compartment.
  2. Place the wire spool onto the spool retainer. Ensure it rotates freely.
  3. Feed the wire through the wire guide and into the drive roller mechanism.
  4. Secure the wire with the wire pressing wheel, ensuring proper tension.
  5. Fèmen lòj la.
  6. Connect the MIG welding torch to the appropriate port on the front panel.

5.3 Electrode Holder and Ground Clamp Connection (Stick/Lift TIG)

For Stick welding or Lift TIG (requires an additional TIG torch), connect the electrode holder and ground clamp:

  1. Konekte tè a clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the welder.
  2. Connect the electrode holder cable to the positive (+) terminal on the welder.
  3. Tache tè a clamp byen fikse sou pyès soude a oswa sou tab soude a, pou asire bon kontak elektrik.

6. Operasyon Enstriksyon

The FLARING FM155 offers three welding modes: Gasless MIG, Stick, and Lift TIG. Select the appropriate mode using the controls on the front panel.

6.1 Gasless MIG Welding

Gasless MIG welding uses flux-cored wire, eliminating the need for external shielding gas. This is ideal for outdoor use or when portability is key.

  1. Ensure flux-cored wire is correctly installed (refer to Section 5.2).
  2. Select "MIG Gasless" mode on the control panel.
  3. Adjust current (Amperaj) ak volimtage settings based on the material thickness and wire diameter. The LED display will guide you.
  4. Position the MIG torch at the desired angle (typically 10-15 degrees from vertical) and maintain a consistent stick-out.
  5. Press the trigger to initiate the arc and begin welding.

6.2 Stick (MMA) Welding

Stick welding (Manual Metal Arc) is a robust process suitable for various metals and conditions.

  1. Konekte detantè elektwòd la ak klou tè aamp (gade Seksyon 5.3).
  2. Select "Stick/MMA/ARC" mode on the control panel.
  3. Mete elektwòd soude ki apwopriye a nan pòt elektwòd la.
  4. Adjust the current (Amperage) based on the electrode type and diameter, and material thickness.
  5. Ou ka kòmanse aks la lè w touche elektwòd la yon ti kras epi retire l byen vit sou materyo a. Kenbe yon longè ak yon vitès deplasman ki konsistan.

6.3 Lift TIG Welding

Lift TIG welding provides precise control and high-quality welds. An additional Lift TIG torch is required (not included).

  1. Konekte tè a clamp and your Lift TIG torch (not included) to the welder.
  2. Select "Lift TIG" mode on the control panel.
  3. Adjust the current (Amperage) as needed for your material and tungsten size.
  4. Gently touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece to initiate the arc, then lift slightly to establish the arc.
  5. Feed filler rod manually into the weld puddle as you progress.

6.4 Welding Samples

The FLARING FM155 is capable of welding various materials and joint types, including iron block, galvanized pipe, round tube, chair frames, stainless steel, and general steel frames.
