3. Setup and Installation
3.1 Power Connection
The AZZUNO MIG-155F supports both 110V and 220V power inputs. Use the provided adapter if converting from 220V to 110V. Ensure the power source matches the machine's requirements and is properly grounded.
3.2 Connecting the Ground Clamp
Connect the ground clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the front panel of the welder. Securely attach the ground clamp to the workpiece or a clean, bare metal part of the welding table to ensure a good electrical connection.
3.3 MIG Torch Installation
- Insert the MIG torch connector into the positive (+) terminal on the front panel.
- Twist to secure the connection.
- If using gas MIG, connect the gas hose from the torch to the "GAS OUT" port on the machine, and then connect the other end of the gas hose to your gas cylinder regulator.
- Install the appropriate contact tip and gas nozzle for your wire size and welding process.

3.4 Wire Feed Setup (MIG/Flux Core)
- Open the wire feed compartment.
- Place the wire spool onto the spindle, ensuring it rotates freely.
- Thread the welding wire through the guide tube and into the drive roller mechanism.
- Close the drive roller tension arm and adjust the tension according to the wire type and diameter.
- Ensure the drive roller groove matches the wire diameter being used.
3.5 TIG Torch Installation (Lift TIG)
- Connect the WP-17V TIG torch cable quick connector to the negative (-) terminal on the front panel.
- Connect the gas hose from the TIG torch to the "GAS OUT" port on the machine.
- Connect the ground clamp to the positive (+) terminal.
- Install the appropriate ceramic cup, collet, collet body, and tungsten electrode into the TIG torch.

- Cable Inspection: Check all cables (power, ground, torch) for cuts, cracks, or damaged insulation. Replace damaged cables immediately.
- Wire Feed System: Clean the drive rollers and wire guide tubes to prevent wire feeding issues. Ensure proper tension on the drive rollers.
6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power cord unplugged, circuit breaker tripped, machine switch off. | Check power connections, reset breaker, turn on machine switch. |
| No arc | Poor ground connection, incorrect settings, worn contact tip/electrode. | Ensure good ground, verify settings, replace consumables. |
| Wire feeding issues | Incorrect drive roller tension, clogged liner, wrong drive roller groove. | Adjust tension, clean liner, ensure correct groove. |
| Overheat indicator on | Exceeded duty cycle, poor ventilation. | Allow machine to cool down, ensure adequate airflow. |
