Setup
1. Unpacking and Inspection
Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Inspect the machine and accessories for any signs of damage during transit. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
2. Power Connection
The RBM2000D supports both 120V and 240V input. Ensure the correct power cord is used and connected to a suitable power outlet with proper grounding. The machine automatically detects the input voltage.
3. Connecting Welding Cables and Torch
Connect the MIG torch, ground clamp, and electrode holder to their respective terminals on the front panel. Ensure all connections are secure to prevent arcing and ensure proper current flow.

4. Wire Installation (MIG/Flux Core)
Open the wire feed compartment. Install a 2-pound roll of welding wire (0.030" to 0.040" flux core or solid wire). Ensure the wire is properly seated and fed through the drive rollers and liner to the MIG torch. Adjust the wire tension as needed.

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 to prevent overheating.
- Wire Feed System: Inspect the wire feed rollers and liner regularly for wear or blockages. Clean any accumulated dust or metal particles. Replace worn contact tips and nozzles as needed.
- Cable Connections: Check all welding cable connections for tightness and signs of damage. Loose connections can lead to poor performance and overheating.
- Storage: Store the welder in a clean, dry environment, away from excessive dust, moisture, and corrosive materials.
Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to common issues you might encounter. For problems not listed here, contact customer support.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power to machine | Power cord disconnected, circuit breaker tripped, faulty power outlet. | Check power cord connection, reset circuit breaker, test outlet with another device. |
| No arc/Poor arc stability | Loose ground clamp, incorrect settings, worn contact tip, wrong wire size. | Ensure ground clamp is on clean metal, adjust voltage/current, replace contact tip, verify wire size matches settings. |
| Wire feed issues | Wire tangled, drive rollers not tensioned correctly, clogged liner, wrong drive roller size. | Untangle wire, adjust drive roller tension, clean/replace liner, ensure correct drive roller for wire size. |
| Overheat indicator (OC light) on | Exceeded duty cycle, poor ventilation. | Allow machine to cool down, ensure adequate airflow around the unit. |
