5. Configuração

5.1 Conexão de Energia

The FLARING FM155 operates on 110V AC power. Ensure your power source meets the voltage requirements and is properly grounded. Use a dedicated circuit if possible to avoid overloading.

5.2 Wire Installation (Gasless MIG)

For Gasless MIG welding, install the flux-cored wire spool. The machine supports 0.030" (0.8mm), 0.035" (0.9mm), and 0.040" (1.0mm) flux core wire sizes. The included wire is 0.8mm (0.5kg).

  1. Abra o compartimento de alimentação do fio.
  2. Place the wire spool onto the spool retainer. Ensure it rotates freely.
  3. Feed the wire through the wire guide and into the drive roller mechanism.
  4. Secure the wire with the wire pressing wheel, ensuring proper tension.
  5. Feche o compartimento.
  6. Connect the MIG welding torch to the appropriate port on the front panel.

5.3 Electrode Holder and Ground Clamp Connection (Stick/Lift TIG)

For Stick welding or Lift TIG (requires an additional TIG torch), connect the electrode holder and ground clamp:

  1. Conecte o aterramento clamp cable to the negative (-) terminal on the welder.
  2. Conecte o cabo do porta-eletrodo ao terminal positivo (+) da máquina de solda.
  3. Anexe o chão clamp fixe firmemente à peça de trabalho ou à mesa de soldagem, garantindo um bom contato elétrico.

6. Instruções de operação

The FLARING FM155 offers three welding modes: Gasless MIG, Stick, and Lift TIG. Select the appropriate mode using the controls on the front panel.

6.1 Gasless MIG Welding

Gasless MIG welding uses flux-cored wire, eliminating the need for external shielding gas. This is ideal for outdoor use or when portability is key.

  1. Ensure flux-cored wire is correctly installed (refer to Section 5.2).
  2. Select "MIG Gasless" mode on the control panel.
  3. Adjust current (Ampidade) e voltage settings based on the material thickness and wire diameter. The LED display will guide you.
  4. Position the MIG torch at the desired angle (typically 10-15 degrees from vertical) and maintain a consistent stick-out.
  5. Press the trigger to initiate the arc and begin welding.

6.2 Soldagem com eletrodo revestido (MMA)

Stick welding (Manual Metal Arc) is a robust process suitable for various metals and conditions.

  1. Conecte o suporte do eletrodo e o fio terra.amp (consulte a Seção 5.3).
  2. Select "Stick/MMA/ARC" mode on the control panel.
  3. Insira o eletrodo de soldagem apropriado no porta-eletrodo.
  4. Adjust the current (Amperage) based on the electrode type and diameter, and material thickness.
  5. Inicie o arco elétrico tocando levemente e levantando rapidamente o eletrodo da peça de trabalho. Mantenha um comprimento de arco e uma velocidade de deslocamento constantes.

6.3 Soldagem TIG Lift

Lift TIG welding provides precise control and high-quality welds. An additional Lift TIG torch is required (not included).

  1. Conecte o aterramento clamp and your Lift TIG torch (not included) to the welder.
  2. Select "Lift TIG" mode on the control panel.
  3. Adjust the current (Amperage) as needed for your material and tungsten size.
  4. Gently touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece to initiate the arc, then lift slightly to establish the arc.
  5. Feed filler rod manually into the weld puddle as you progress.

6.4 Welding Sampos
