5. Setup

5.1 Power Connection

The FM175D supports dual voltage input (110V/120V and 220V/240V). It comes with an American standard L6-50P power cord plug and includes a 240V to 120V adapter cable for versatile use in different work environments. Connect the appropriate power cable to a suitable power outlet.

5.2 Wire Feed Structure

The welder features a stable and smooth wire feed mechanism. Refer to the diagram below for component identification:

1. Welding Wire (2.2lbs / .023")
2. Automatic Wire Feed
3. Wire Pressing Wheel
4. Wire Feeding Wheel

Figure 4: Detailed view of the wire feed structure for stable and smooth wire delivery.

Install the welding wire onto the spool holder and thread it through the wire feed mechanism according to the instructions provided on the inner cover of the chassis.

6. Operating Instructions

The FM175D offers multiple welding modes. Use the intelligent LED display and control knobs for precise adjustments.

Figure 5: The large LED display provides accurate data and easy readability for various welding modes.

6.1 Mode Selection and Synergic Control

The welder features synergic control, automatically matching current and voltage once the welding electronic diameter is selected. This simplifies operation for beginners while allowing professionals to fine-tune settings as needed. Use the mode selection button to switch between the following welding processes:

• Gas/Solid Wire MIG (GMAW): For welding with shielding gas and solid wire.
• Gasless Flux Core MIG (FCAW): For welding with flux-cored wire without external shielding gas.
• Stick/MMA: For manual metal arc welding with coated electrodes.
• Lift TIG: For TIG welding (TIG gun not included).
• Spot Welding: For precise spot welds.
• Spool Gun Connector Optional: For use with a spool gun (not included), typically for aluminum welding.

The inner cover of the chassis provides detailed welding parameter guidelines and official authoritative recommendations for each mode.
