• Wire Feed Adjustment: Controls the speed at which the welding wire is fed.
• Choose Button: Selects between welding modes (Flux MIG, Lift TIG, MMA).
• Voltage Adjustment: Controls the welding voltage.
• Positive Terminal: Connection point for the electrode holder (MMA) or MIG torch (MIG).
• Torch Output: Connection for the MIG torch.
• Air Plug: (If applicable, for gas-shielded MIG or TIG).
• Negative Terminal: Connection point for the ground clamp.

Installing Flux Core Wire:

The welder is designed to use .030" (0.8mm) and .035" (0.9mm) flux core wire for gasless MIG welding.

1. Open the wire feeder compartment.
2. Place the flux core wire spool onto the spindle, ensuring it rotates freely.
3. Thread the wire through the guide tube and into the drive rollers.
4. Close the drive roller tension arm and adjust tension as needed (refer to the machine's internal diagram for specific tension settings).
5. Feed the wire through the MIG torch liner until it exits the nozzle.

Connecting Accessories:

• Connect the ground clamp cable to the negative terminal. Attach the ground clamp securely to the workpiece.
• Connect the MIG torch cable to the torch output.
• For Stick (MMA) welding, connect the electrode holder cable to the positive terminal and the ground clamp to the negative terminal.
• For Lift TIG welding, connect the TIG torch (not included) to the appropriate terminal and the ground clamp to the negative terminal.

Operating Instructions

This section details the operation of the AZZUNO MIG-135F for its various welding modes.

General Operation Steps:

1. Ensure all connections are correct and secure.
2. Connect the welder to a suitable 110V power supply.
3. Turn on the power switch.
4. Use the "Choose" button to select the desired welding mode (Flux MIG, Lift TIG, or MMA).
5. Adjust the amperage, voltage, and wire feed speed according to the material thickness and welding process. The synergic control will assist in setting optimal parameters.
6. Perform a test weld on scrap material to verify settings.

Flux MIG Welding (Gasless):

• Select "Flux MIG" mode.
• Ensure .030" (0.8mm) or .035" (0.9mm) flux core wire is installed.
• Adjust voltage and wire feed speed. For synergic control, adjust amperage, and the machine will automatically set corresponding voltage and wire speed.
• Maintain a consistent stick-out and travel speed for optimal results.
• This mode is suitable for welding up to 5/32" (4.0mm) thick materials.

Lift TIG Welding:

• Select "Lift TIG" mode.
• Connect a Lift TIG torch (not included) and a gas cylinder if using shielding gas.
• Adjust amperage.
• Initiate the arc by gently touching the tungsten electrode to the workpiece and lifting slightly.

Stick (MMA) Welding:

• Select "MMA" mode.
• Connect the electrode holder to the positive terminal and the ground clamp to the negative terminal.
• Insert the appropriate electrode (e.g., E6013) into the holder.
• Adjust amperage based on the electrode type and diameter.
• Strike the arc by scratching or tapping the electrode on the workpiece.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your welding machine.

• Cleaning: Regularly clean the machine's exterior with a dry cloth. Use compressed air to blow out dust from inside the machine, especially around the fan and circuit boards, ensuring the power is disconnected.
• Wire Feeder: Inspect the wire drive rollers for wear and cleanliness. Clean any debris or wire shavings.
• Torch and Cables: Check the MIG torch liner for blockages or wear. Inspect all cables for cuts, cracks, or damaged insulation. Replace damaged components immediately.
• Consumables: Replace worn contact tips, nozzles, and electrodes as needed.
• Storage: Store the welder in a dry, clean environment away from excessive dust and moisture.
