Frequently Asked Questions - EasyWeld 160 Cigweld
What gas is recommended for MIG welding?
Use a mix of argon (80%) and carbon dioxide (20%) for steel, or pure argon for aluminium.
Can I weld aluminium with the EasyWeld 160?
Yes, using TIG mode with AC output or MIG with aluminium wire and pure argon. The machine supports both.
What thickness can I weld?
Typically up to 6 mm steel (MIG), 3 mm aluminium (MIG), or 5 mm steel (stick). Actual thickness depends on joint preparation.
How do I change the wire spool?
Open the side door, loosen the spindle lock, remove old spool, place new spool with correct orientation, thread wire through drive rolls and liner, then adjust tension.
What does the duty cycle mean?
It indicates how long you can weld at a given current before the machine needs to cool. For example, 60% at 160A means 6 minutes welding out of 10.
How do I set the wire feed speed?
Use the wire speed dial on the front panel. For MIG, start with a setting corresponding to the thickness (e.g., 4-5 for 3mm steel) and adjust based on sound and arc stability.
Can I use flux-cored wire without gas?
Yes, switch polarity to electrode negative (DCEN) and use self-shielded flux-cored wire. Ensure the gas valve is closed.
What safety precautions should I take?
Always wear a welding helmet with appropriate shade, gloves, and flame-resistant clothing. Ensure good ventilation to avoid fumes.
How do I troubleshoot a wire feeding issue?
Check the contact tip for wear, clean or replace the liner, adjust the drive roll pressure, and ensure the wire is not kinked or tangled.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Authorized Cigweld dealers and online stores sell consumables like tips, nozzles, and spools. For internal electronics, contact Cigweld support.
