INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Welder. The IMIG100NG inverter welder is for

light duty manual arc welding only. It has been designed specifically for continuous

welding of carbon or mild steels up to 4mm without protective gas using appropriate

0.9mm flux cored electrode wire. The welder is designed for domestic use only and

not intended for commercial or trade use.

Before attempting to operate the machine, it is essential that you read this manual

thoroughly and carefully follow all instructions given. In doing so you will ensure the

safety of yourself and that of others around you, and you can also look forward to the

welder giving you long and satisfactory service.

MIG WELDING PRINCIPLES

MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding allows you to fuse together two similar metals without

altering the properties of the metal.

A consumable wire electrode is continuously fed through the welding torch that is

fitted with a concentric gas nozzle. The wire is connected to a high voltage supply

which creates an electric arc between the electrode (the wire) and the workpiece. The

arc is used to create the required heat to turn the metal into a molten state. The wire

is used as both the electrode and as a filler.

When using a gasless welder the shielding gas is created from the flux within the

welding wire.

When using the welder outside, you may need to erect a wind break.
