4.08 Set-up for GMAW/FCAW (MIG)

MIG welding with the Transmig 400 i requires the integration of a constant voltage (CV) wire feeder. Shielding
gas will also usually be required in most cases except for some flux cored welding operations (FCAW). When
setting up for flux cored welding, contact the welding wire manufacturer for lead polarity recommendations.

Refer to Figure 4-5 for a typical MIG welding configuration and connect your equipment accordingly.

NOTE

Consult the wire feeder manual on how to adjust the wire feed speed and connect the MIG gun.

!

WARNING

Before connecting the work clamp to the work and inserting the electrode in the electrode holder
make sure the primary power supply is switched off.

CAUTION

Remove any packaging material prior to use. Do not block the air vents at the front or rear or sides
of the welding power source.
