Operation Instructions
Setup
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable outlet (110V or 220V). The machine will automatically detect the voltage.
- Connect Ground Clamp: Attach the ground clamp securely to the workpiece or welding table. Ensure good electrical contact.
- Install Wire Spool: Load the wire spool onto the spindle and feed the wire through the drive rollers and the MIG gun liner.
- Connect MIG Gun: Connect the MIG gun to the machine's torch connector.
- Install Contact Tip: Install the correct size contact tip for the welding wire being used.
Welding Process (Pulse MIG)
- Select Mode: Choose the Pulse MIG welding mode using the mode selection button.
- Set Parameters:
- Use the synergic control or manual knobs to set parameters like welding voltage, wire feed speed, and inductance. The digital display will show the selected values.
- Refer to the recommended settings chart (if available in the original PDF) for different materials and thicknesses.
- Prepare Workpiece: Ensure the workpiece is clean and free of rust, paint, or oil.
- Begin Welding:
- Hold the MIG gun at the correct angle to the workpiece.
- Press the trigger on the MIG gun to start the wire feed and arc.
- Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.

- Stop Welding: Release the trigger to stop the arc and wire feed.
Pulse MIG Advantages
Pulse MIG welding offers benefits such as reduced spatter, better control over heat input, improved appearance of the weld bead, and suitability for welding thin materials.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Yeswelder YWM-211P.
- Cleaning: Keep the machine clean and free of dust and debris. Use a dry cloth or compressed air.
- Contact Tips: Replace worn or dirty contact tips regularly. Clean them with a wire brush if necessary.
- Drive Rollers: Ensure the drive rollers are clean and properly tensioned for the wire diameter being used.
- Liner: Check the MIG gun liner for obstructions and replace if necessary.
- Connections: Periodically check all cable and connector connections for tightness and corrosion.
Maintenance Safety
Always disconnect the power source before performing any maintenance or cleaning procedures. Allow the machine to cool down.
Troubleshooting
Refer to the table below for common issues and their solutions.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power cord not plugged in. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged into a live outlet. |
| Circuit breaker tripped. | Check the circuit breaker and reset if necessary. | |
| No wire feed | Wire spool empty or not loaded correctly. | Load a new spool or check loading. |
| Drive rollers dirty or tension too loose/tight. | Clean rollers and adjust tension. | |
| Contact tip clogged or wrong size. | Clean or replace contact tip. | |
| MIG gun liner obstructed. | Check and clear liner obstruction. | |
| Poor weld quality (spatter, porosity) | Incorrect welding parameters. | Adjust voltage, wire speed, and inductance. |
| Workpiece not clean. | Clean the workpiece thoroughly. | |
| Incorrect gas flow (if applicable). | Check gas cylinder pressure and flow rate. | |
| Ground connection poor. | Ensure a solid ground connection. |
