congratulations on your purchase of new
Eastwood make well we're going to take a
few moments to guide you through the
setup and usage of your new machine so
you're able to start welding or thin
sheet metal or steel projects up to
three sixteenths inch quickly and easily
to make 135 comes with a 23 still
McGuire gas regulator and instruction
book the only thing you'll need to do is
run a bottle 75% co2 25-percent Oregon
here's how to install the supplied to
make wire and tip in the machine first
open the side panel to gain access to
the wire drive mechanism note the
reference chart on the inside of the
door then feed the ground cable through
the front of the Machine and connected
to the proper terminal for your wire to
make 135 can use flux core or solid wire
and the reference chart shows the
connections reach now feed the trigger
wires and the torch connection through
the unit and secure the torch with the
wing plug into trader liars and show the
weather arrives with an 8-inch waters
full adapter installed this adapter
allows you to use larger spools of wire
and make 135 a little bit to use the
supplied oh 23 wire sport before
installing the spore be sure the drive
roller is matched to the wire size to
make 135 to handle several different
wire sizes the rollers turn to the
correct setting the wire size options
are found on the reference chart when
installing the wire school
be sure not to over tighten retaining
them this ball needs to spin freely for
the best possible welding performance
the wire is then fed into the drive
mechanism guided over the drive roller
and fed into the torch sleep the pinch
rollers snapped into place you can now
throw all the welder and pull the
trigger to begin feeding wire the lower
nob is the wire feed speed and you can
adjust it up to speed the process once
the wire emerges from the end of the
torch turn off the Machine and install
the supplied tip nozzle under
ok
now you can install the gas hose on the
welder
it's a good idea to wrap the threads
with gas compatible thread tape the
regulator connects to your welding
bottle and the hose connects to the
regulator turn on the welder open the
gas bottle and pull the trigger to begin
gas flow then adjust the regular to
about 20 CFM regular mig welding jobs
overhead welding welding and windy
conditions may require higher gas flow
now you're ready to begin welding
compare the steel thickness of your
project to the settings on the chart and
match the welding average and wire speed
to the recommended settings connect your
ground wire and you're ready to go
alright you can well then sheet metal
with the big 135 what we have here is
some 18 gauge what we're going to show
you is our inner grips setting the
proper gap between the panels and also
the use of our Copperweld backers which
goes behind your well to backup the big
puddle
note how we're doing a series of tack
welds and thin steel this will keep the
heat level down event working the panel
when finished carefully grind tack welds
down to have continuous Queen will join
now we'll move to some thicker stock
again check the settings on the chart to
match your steel you can apply clean
continuing speeds on thicker steel at
the risk of warping the material
going to show you here how to fill a
hole with the mig welder if you were to
simply take your gun here try to weld
this you're just going to blow wire
right through the whole we're going to
use is the welders helper comity really
simply backs up the whole allows the big
well to penetrate and Phil make 135 is
versatile machine that will allow you to
repair body sheet metal fabricators
steel brackets with 110 pound home shop
