Frequently Asked Questions - WEA1058 Ferm

What type of welding can I do with the Ferm WEA1058?

The WEA1058 supports MIG/MAG (gas-shielded), MMA (stick), and TIG (lift ignition) welding processes, making it versatile for hobby and light industrial use.

What is the duty cycle of this welding machine?

The duty cycle is 60% at 100 A and 35% at 140 A, meaning you can weld for 6 minutes at 100 A before a 4-minute cooldown.

What wire diameter can I use for MIG welding?

The machine accepts wire diameters of 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm for MIG welding. For steel, use 0.8 mm with CO2 or mixed gas.

Which electrode sizes are compatible with MMA (stick) welding?

You can use electrodes from 1.5 mm to 3.2 mm diameter. Common types include rutile, basic, and cellulose electrodes.

Can I weld aluminum with the Ferm WEA1058?

Aluminum welding is possible but requires a TIG setup (lift TIG) and an AC/DC machine. This model is DC only, so aluminum MIG with pure argon gas is possible but challenging for thin sections.

How do I clean and maintain the welding machine?

Regularly blow out dust from ventilation slots with compressed air. Check and clean the MIG gun contact tip and nozzle. Keep the wire feed mechanism clean and lubricated.

What safety precautions should I take?

Always wear a welding helmet with appropriate shade, gloves, and protective clothing. Ensure proper ventilation. Disconnect power before maintenance. Never weld on sealed containers.

What spare parts are available for the WEA1058?

Common spare parts include contact tips, gas nozzles, liners, wire spool holders, and drive rolls. These can be ordered from Ferm dealers or online.

Is the Ferm WEA1058 suitable for beginners?

Yes, it is a user-friendly inverter welder with adjustable current and wire speed, making it ideal for beginners learning MIG and stick welding.

What gas is recommended for MIG welding?

For steel, use CO2 or a mixture of 75% argon, 25% CO2 (Ar/CO2). For stainless steel, use a tri-mix or argon + 2% oxygen. For aluminum, pure argon is required.

• The helmet will not offer protection against mis-use of workshop tools, equipment, or accessories.
• Maintain the helmet in good condition, and protect cartridge from liquid and dirt contact.
• Regularly replace the protective lens and replace any damaged or worn parts.
• Use genuine parts only. Non authorized parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. NEVER open or tamper with the shade cartridge.
• Select the shade level before use.
• Ensure the front cover lens is securely in place before use.
• Fit the helmet and adjust the head band so the helmet will sit as low and near to your face as possible,
• Use helmet only in temperatures ranging from -5°C to 55°C.
• The eye protective plate in helmet is NOT unbreakable. Helmet will not protect you against severe impact hazards (such as, but not limited to) fragmenting abrasive discs/ grinding wheels, stones and other grinding tools, explosive devices or corrosive fluids. The helmet will only protect the eyes and face from radiation and sparks.
• Remove ill fitting clothing, remove ties, watches, rings, and other loose jewellery.
• Maintain correct balance and footing. Ensure the floor is not slippery and wear non slip shoes.

• Do not place the helmet on a hot surface.

3. Instruction for use

Before using the helmet for welding ensure you have read and understood the safety instructions in section 2.

The helmet comes ready assembled but before it can be used it must be adjusted to fit the user properly.

Adjusting the fit of the helmet

Fig. 1

The overall circumference of the headband can be made larger or smaller by first pushing the knob to unlock and thereupon rotating the knob on the back of the headband (Y) This can be done whilst wearing the helmet and allows just the right tension to be set to keep the helmet firmly on the head without it being too tight.

If the headband is riding too high or too low on your head adjust the strap which passes over the top of your head. To do this release the end of the band by pushing the locking pip out of the hole in the band. Slide the two portions of the band to a greater or lesser width as required and push the locking pip through the nearest hole (W)

Test the fit of the headband by lifting up and closing down the helmet a few times whilst wearing it. If the headband moves whilst tilting re-adjust it until it is stable.

Adjusting distance between helmet and face

Fig. 1

To adjust the distance between the helmet and your face in the down position loosen the tilt knobs on either side of the helmet and slide it nearer to or further from your face. (Z) It is important that your eyes are each the same distance from the lens otherwise the darkening effect may appear uneven. Re-tighten the tilt knobs when adjustment is complete.

4. Maintenance

Cleaning

Clean helmet by wiping with a soft cloth. Clean cartridge surfaces regularly. Do not use strong cleaning solutions.

Replacing front cover lens/shade glass lens.

Refer to figure 2 for replacing the front cover lens or shade glass lens. This must be done every time the lens is damaged to reduce the risk of personal injury.

Faults

Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the warranty card.

Environment
