DESCRIPTION OF CONTROLS Become familiar with the SP-100 controls and compo-nents before attempting to weld. Refer to illustrationsand lettered items below for brief descriptions. A. Wire speed — Controls the wire speed from 50 –400 in./min (1.3 – 10 m/min). The control can bepreset on the dial to th...

Work Cable Installation 1. Open the wire feed section door on the right side of the SP-100. 2. Pass the end of the work cable that has the termi- nal lug with the smaller hole through the hole (holeD) next to the louvers in the case front. 3. Route the cable under and around the back of the wire fee...

ELECTRICAL INPUT CONNECTION Code Requirements This welding machine must be connected to powers o u r c e i n a c c o r d a n c e w i t h a p p l i c a b l e e l e c t r i c a lcodes.

No one can learn to weld simply by reading about it.Skill comes only with practice. The following pageswill help the inexperienced operator to understandwelding and develop this skill. For more detailed infor-mation, order a copy of “New Lessons in Arc Welding”listed inside the back cover of this ma...

– 16 – The cored wire melts in the arc and tiny droplets ofmolten metal shoot across the arc into the moltenpool. The wire sheath provides additional filler metalfor the joint to fill the groove or gap between the twopieces of the base metal. The core materials also melt or burn in the arc andperfor...

– 17 – Practice. The best way of getting practice in the four skills thatenable you to maintain: 1. Correct welding position2. Correct way to strike an arc3. Correct electrical stickout4. Correct welding speed is to spend a little more time on the following exercise. Use the following: Mild Steel 16...

– 18 – steel can usually be easily welded without special pre-cautions. Some steels, however, contain higher car-bon levels or other alloys and are more difficult toweld. Basically, if a magnet sticks to the metal and ifyou can easily cut the metal with a file, chances areg o o d t h a t y o u w i l...

– 19 – Vertical-Up and Overhead Welding The problem, when welding vertical-up, is to put themolten metal where it is wanted and make it staythere. If too much molten metal is deposited, gravitywill pull it downwards and make it “drip.” Therefore, acertain technique has to be followed. When welding o...

MACHINE SETUP FOR THE GMAW (MIG)PROCESS 1. See “Recommended Processes and Equipment” for selection of welding wire and shielding gas and forrange of metal thicknesses that can be welded. 2.
