Setup Instructions
- Unpacking: Carefully remove the welding machine and all accessories from the packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage.
- Placement: Place the machine on a stable, level surface in a well-ventilated area, away from flammable materials.
- Power Connection: Ensure the machine is switched off. Connect the power cable to a suitable 230V single-phase power outlet with a 16A fuse.
- Wire Spool Installation: Open the wire compartment and install a 5 kg welding wire spool (e.g., steel, stainless steel, or aluminum wire with appropriate diameter). Ensure the wire feeds smoothly through the guide.
- Accessory Connection:
- Connect the MIG Torch (2.5M, part no. 742393) to the designated port on the machine.
- Attach the Toledo 250 Earth Clamp (250A, part no. 712030) to the workpiece.
- For MIG-MAG welding, connect the Argon Cylinder Adapter (part no. 432036) and the Rechargeable Cylinder Pressure Reducer (part no. 722341) to a gas cylinder, then connect the gas hose to the machine.
- Initial Checks: Before powering on, double-check all connections for security and proper fit.
Operating Instructions
The Telmig 170/1 Turbo supports both FLUX (gasless) and MIG-MAG (with gas) welding. Select the appropriate mode and settings based on your material and welding requirements.
- Mode Selection: Choose between FLUX (no gas) or MIG-MAG (gas) welding depending on your wire type and application.
- Material Compatibility: This machine is suitable for welding steel, stainless steel, and aluminum. Ensure you use the correct wire type and diameter for the material being welded.
- Regulation Positions: The machine features 6 regulation positions to adjust the welding current. Start with a lower setting and gradually increase until the desired arc stability and penetration are achieved.
- Wire Diameter Selection:
- Steel Welding Wire: 0.6 - 0.8 mm
- Stainless Steel Welding Wire: 0.8 mm
- Aluminum Welding Wire: 0.8 - 1 mm
- Welding Process:
- Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including a welding helmet, gloves, and protective clothing.
- Turn on the machine.
- Initiate the arc by pressing the torch trigger. Maintain a consistent travel speed and arc length for optimal results.
- The machine features thermostatic protection, which will automatically shut down the unit if it overheats. Allow it to cool down before resuming operation.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welding machine.
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the machine's exterior with a dry cloth. Ensure ventilation openings are free from dust and debris.
- Wire Feed System: Inspect the wire feed rollers and liner for wear or blockages. Clean or replace as necessary to ensure smooth wire feeding.
- Torch and Earth Clamp: Check the torch nozzle, contact tip, and earth clamp for wear or damage. Replace consumables as needed. Ensure all connections are tight.
- Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables (power, torch, earth) for cuts, abrasions, or loose connections. Repair or replace damaged cables immediately.
- Storage: When not in use, store the machine in a dry, clean environment, protected from dust and moisture.
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter.
- Machine Does Not Power On:
- Check if the power cable is securely plugged into both the machine and the power outlet.
- Verify that the power outlet is functional and the circuit breaker or fuse (16A) has not tripped.
- Ensure the machine's power switch is in the "ON" position.
- No Arc or Weak Arc:
- Check the earth clamp connection to the workpiece; ensure it is clean and secure.
- Inspect the welding wire for proper feeding and ensure the contact tip is not clogged or worn.
- Verify that the welding current settings are appropriate for the material thickness.
- For MIG-MAG welding, ensure gas flow is adequate and the gas cylinder is not empty.
- Machine Overheats (Thermostatic Protection Activated):
- The machine has built-in thermostatic protection. If it shuts down, allow it to cool down for a sufficient period (typically 10-15 minutes) before restarting.
- Ensure adequate ventilation around the machine and that cooling vents are not obstructed.
- Reduce the duty cycle or welding current if continuous operation is causing frequent overheating.
- Poor Weld Quality:
- Adjust welding current and wire feed speed settings.
- Ensure the workpiece is clean and free of rust, paint, or grease.
- Check for proper gas shielding (for MIG-MAG) and correct torch angle.
