GLOSSARY OF WELDING TERMS

AC or Alternating Current - electric current that reverses direction periodically. Sixty cycle current travels in both directions sixty times per second.

Arc Length - the distance from the end of the electrode to the point where the arc makes contact with the work surface.

Base Metal - the material to be welded.

Butt Joint - a joint between two members aligned approximately in the same plane.

Crater - a pool, or pocket, that is formed as the arc comes in contact with the base metal.

DC or Direct Current - electric current which flows only in one direction. The polarity (+ or -) determines which direction the current is flowing.

DC Reverse Polarity - occurs when the electrode holder is connected to the positive pole of the welding machine. Reverse Polarity directs more heat into melting the electrode rather than the work piece. It is used on thinner material.

DC Straight Polarity - occurs when the electrode holder is connected to the negative pole of the welding machine. With straight polarity more heat is directed to the work piece for better penetration on thicker material.

Electrode - a coated metal wire having approximately the same composition as the material being welded.

Fillet Weld - approximately a triangle in cross-section, joining two surfaces at right angles to each other in a lap, T or corner joint.

Flux - a coating, when heated, that produces a shielding gas around the welding area. This gas protects the parent and filler metals from impurities in the air.

Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) - also called Gasless, is a welding process used with a wire-feed welding machine. The weld wire is tubular with flux material contained inside for shielding.

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) - also called MIG, is a welding process used with a wire feed welding machine. The wire is solid and an inert gas is used for shielding.

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) - also called TIG, is a welding process used with welding equipment with a high frequency generator. The arc is created between a non-consumable tungsten electrode and the work piece. Filler metal may or may not be used.

Lap Joint - a joint between two overlapping members in parallel planes.

Open Circuit Voltage (OCV) - the voltage between the electrode and the work clamp of the welding machine when no current is flowing (not welding). The OCV determines how quickly the arc is struck.

Overlap - occurs when the amperage is set too low. In this instance, the molten metal falls from the electrode without actually fusing into the base metal.

Porosity - gas pockets, or cavities, formed during weld solidification. They weaken the weld.

Penetration - the depth into the work piece that has been heat effected by the arc during the welding process. A good weld achieves 100% penetration meaning that the entire thickness of the work piece has been heated and resolidified. The heat effected area should be easily seen on the opposite side of the weld.

Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) - also called Stick, is a welding process with uses a consumable electrode to support the arc. Shielding is achieved by the melting of the flux coating on the electrode.

Slag - a layer of flux soot that protects the weld from oxides and other contaminants while the weld is solidifying (cooling). Slag should be removed after weld has cooled.

Spatter - metal particles thrown from the weld which cool and harden on the work surface. Spatter can be minimized by using a spatter resistant spray on the work piece before welding.

Tack Weld - weld made to hold parts in proper alignment until final welds are made.

Travel Angle - the angle of the electrode in the line of welding. It varies from 5° to 45° depending on welding conditions.

T Joint - made by placing the edge of one piece of metal on the surface of the other piece at approximately a 90° angle.

Undercut - a condition that results when welding amperage is too high. The excessive amperage leaves a groove in the base metal along both sides of the bead which reduces the strength of the weld.

Weld Pool or Puddle - a volume of molten metal in a weld prior to its solidification as weld metal.

Weld Bead - a narrow layer or layers of metal deposited on the base metal as the electrode melts. Weld bead width is typically twice the diameter of the electrode.

Work Angle - the angle of the electrode from horizontal, measured at right angles to the line of welding.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Location

Selecting the proper location can significantly increase performance, reliability and life of the arc welder.

• For best results locate welder in a clean and dry environment. Dust and dirt in the welder retain moisture and increase wear of moving parts.
• Place welder in an area with at least twelve inches (30,48 cm) of ventilation space at both the front and rear of unit. Keep all obstructions out of this ventilation space.
• Store welding wire in a clean, dry location with low humidity to prevent oxidation.
• Use a properly grounded receptacle for the welder and ensure welder is the only load on power supply circuit. Refer to chart on page 7 for correct circuit capacity.
• Use of an extension cord is not recommended for electric arc welding machines. Voltage drop in the extension cord may significantly degrade performance of the welder.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

WIRE INSTALLATION

NOTE: Before installing welding wire, be sure:

a. Diameter of welding wire matches groove in drive roller on wire feed mechanism (See Figure 2).

b. Wire matches contact tip in end of torch (See Figure 3).

A mismatch on any item could cause the wire to slip and/or bind.

NOTE: Always maintain control of loose end of welding wire to prevent unspooling.

1. Verify unit is off and open door panel to expose wire feed mechanism.
2. Remove the spool lock by pushing in and rotating 1/4 turn counterclockwise. Then remove lock, spring and retainer.

3. Flip tensioning knob down and swing arm up on drive mechanism. This allows initial feeding of wire into torch liner by hand.

4. Install wire spool onto spindle so wire can come off bottom of spool. Do not cut the wire loose yet. Install retainer, spring and lock by pushing in and turning lock 1/4 rotation clockwise.

5. Hold wire and cut the wire end from spool. Do not allow wire to unravel. Be sure end of wire is straight and free of burrs.

6. Feed wire through wire guide, over the groove in drive roller and into torch wire liner. Flip swing arm down and tension knob up. Adjust tension by rotating tension knob.

7. Unscrew nozzle and contact tip from end of welding torch (See Figure 3). Plug welder into a proper power supply receptacle.

1. Turn on welder and set wire speed to 10. Activate torch trigger until wire feeds out past the torch end. Turn welder off.
2. Carefully slip contact tip over wire, screw tip into torch end and reinstall nozzle (See Figure 3). Cut wire off approximately 1/4 inch from nozzle end.

Duty Cycle / Thermostatic Protection

Welder duty cycle is the percentage of actual weld time that can occur in a ten minute interval. For example, at a 20% duty cycle, actual welding can occur for two minutes, then the welder must cool for eight minutes.

Internal components of this welder are protected from overheating with an automatic thermal switch. An amber lamp is illuminated on the front panel if the duty cycle is exceeded. Do not switch unit off. This will allow the internal fan to cool the unit quickly. Welding operations may continue when the amber lamp is no longer illuminated.

Polarity

MIG welding wire requires the electrode to be positive.

Flux welding wire requires the electrode to be negative. Always use the polarity recommended by the welding wire manufacturer. The welder is factory set for flux welding wire.

TO CHANGE POLARITY (SEE FIGURE 4)

1. Unplug power cord from socket.
2. Open wire feed compartment door.
3. Remove two nuts from polarity studs.

4. Connect cable from drive deck to positive stud and cable from work clamp to negative stud for electrode positive polarity for MIG welding. Connect cable from drive deck to negative stud and cable from work clamp to positive stud for electrode negative polarity for flux core welding.

5. Reinstall two nuts and tighten securely.

Shielding Gas Preparation

DANGER and maintenance of compressed gas cylinders and regulators can result in serious injury or death! Always secure gas cylinders to a wall or other fixed support to prevent cylinder from falling over. Read, understand and follow all compressed gas and equipment warnings in the safety instructions.

NOTE: Shielding gas is not required if flux-core welding wire is used.

GAS TYPES

There are 3 types of gas generally used for gas metal arc welding; 100% argon, a mixture of 75% argon and 25% carbon dioxide (C25) or 100% carbon dioxide.

of gas recommended for your welder. Use ONLY an inert, non-flammable type of gas. Failure to do so will result in a very hazardous situation.

The 75/25 mixture is recommended for general steel welding. For aluminum welding, use 100% argon. Cylinders of either type gas may be obtained at your local welding supply outlet. Secure cylinder to prevent it from falling over.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

Obtaining Correct Gas Type. The gas used in any welding application for your welder must be an INERT, NON-FLAMMABLE TYPE. You can get the type of gas needed from a nearby welding gas distributor (often found in the yellow pages under "Welders" or "Welding Equipment").

REGULATOR

The regulator provides a constant shielding gas pressure and flow rate during the welding process. Each regulator is designed to be used with a specific gas or mixture of gases. The argon and argon mixture use the same thread type. The 100% carbon dioxide uses a different thread type. An adapter is available at your local welding gas supplier to change between the two.

HOSE AND REGULATOR HOOKUP PROCEDURE

WARNING under high pressure. Point cylinder outlet away from yourself and any bystanders before opening.

1. With cylinder securely supported, stand on side of cylinder opposite cylinder outlet then remove cylinder cap and open valve slightly by turning counterclockwise. When gas is emitted from cylinder, close valve by turning clockwise. This will blow out dust or dirt that may have accumulated around valve seat.
2. Install regulator onto cylinder valve. Tighten stem nut securely to gas valve.
3. Install one end of gas hose to fitting on the back of welder and other end of hose to fitting on regulator. Make sure gas hose is not kinked or twisted.
4. While standing opposite cylinder outlet, slowly open cylinder valve. Inspect for leaks in the connections.
5. Remember to close gas cylinder valve when finished welding.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1. Be sure to read, understand and comply with all precautions in the General Safety Instructions section. Be sure to read entire "Welding Guidelines" section before using this equipment.
2. Turn welder off.
3. Verify surfaces of metals to be joined are free from dirt, rust, paint, oil, scale or other contaminants. These contaminants make welding difficult and cause poor welds.

Warning this equipment or in the area while equipment is in use must wear protective welding gear including: eye protection with proper shade 10, flame resistant clothing, leather welding gloves and full foot protection.

WARNING or cutting galvanized, zinc plated, lead, or cadmium plated materials, refer to the General Safety Instructions Section for instructions. Extremely toxic fumes are created when these metals are heated.

1. Connect work clamp to work piece or workbench (if metal). Make sure contact is secure. Avoid surfaces with paint, varnish, corrosion or non-metallic materials.
2. Rotate Wire Speed Control to setting per decal inside wire feed compartment, then adjust as needed after test.
3. Plug power cord into a proper voltage receptacle with proper circuit capacity (see circuit requirements on Page 6).
4. Switch welder on to desired heat setting per decal inside wire feed compartment, then adjust as needed after test.

NOTE: These settings are general guidelines only. Heat setting may vary according to welding conditions and materials.

1. Verify wire is extended 1/4 inch from contact tip. If not, squeeze trigger to feed additional wire, release trigger, turn welder off, and cut wire to proper length. Then, switch back on to desired heat setting.
2. Position torch near work piece, lower welding helmet by nodding head or positioning the hand shield, and squeeze torch trigger. Adjust heat setting and wire speed as needed.
3. When finished welding, turn welder off and store properly.

General

The DW3130 can utilize the Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) process or the Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) process. The weld must be protected (shielded) from contaminants in the air while it is molten. The FCAW process uses a tubular wire with a flux material inside. The flux creates a shielding gas when melted. The GMAW process uses inert gas to shield the weld while molten.

When current is produced by a transformer (welding machine) and flows through the circuit to the weld wire, an arc is formed between the end of the weld wire and the work piece. This arc melts the wire and the work piece. The melted metal of the weld wire flows into the molten crater and forms a bond with the work piece as shown (Figure 5).

Figure 5 - Weld Components

Arc Welding Basics

Six basic techniques affect weld quality. These are: wire selection, heat setting, weld angle, wire speed, travel speed, and electrode extension. An understanding of these techniques is necessary for effective welds.

HEAT SETTING

The correct heat involves the adjustment of the welding machine to the required setting. Heat or voltage is regulated by a switch on the welder. The heat setting used depends on the size (diameter) and type of wire, position of the weld, and the thickness of the work piece. Consult specifications listed on the welder. It is suggested that the welder practice with scrap metal to adjust settings, and compare welds with Figure 7.

WIRE TYPE AND SIZE

The correct choice of wire type involves a variety of factors, such as welding position, work piece material type, thickness, and condition of surface to be welded. The American Welding Society, AWS, has set up certain requirements for each type of wire.

FLUX-CORED WIRE

E - 70T - GS Weld strength, times 10,000 pounds per square inch Welding positions (0 for flat or horizontal, 1 for any position) Tubular flux-cored wire Flux type

AWS E71T-GS or E71T-11 is recommended for this welder.

SOLID WIRE

ER - 70 S - 6 Weld strength, times 1,000 PSI Solid wire Wire composition

ER-70S6 is recommended for this welder.

WELDING GUIDELINES (CONTINUED)

Weld Angle

Weld angle is the angle at which the nozzle is held during the welding process. Using the correct angle ensures proper penetration and bead formation. As different welding positions and weld joints become necessary, nozzle angle becomes an increasingly important factor in obtaining a satisfactory weld. Weld angle involves two positions - travel angle and work angle.

TRAVEL ANGLE is the angle in the line of welding and may vary from 5° to 45° from the vertical, depending on welding conditions.

WORK ANGLE is the angle from horizontal, measured at right angles to the line of welding.

For most applications, a 45° travel angle and 45° work angle is sufficient. For specific applications, consult an arc welding handbook.

Wire speed

The wire speed is controlled by the knob on the front panel. The speed needs to be "tuned" to the rate at which the wire is being melted in the arc. Tuning is one of the most critical functions of wire feed welding. Tuning should be performed on a scrap piece of metal the same type and thickness as that to be welded. Begin welding with one hand "dragging" the torch nozzle across the scrap piece while adjusting the wire speed with the other hand. Too slow of speed will cause sputtering and the wire will burn up into the contact tip. Too fast a speed will also cause a sputtering sound and the wire will push into the plate before melting. A smooth buzzing sound indicates the wire speed is properly tuned. Repeat the tuning procedure each time there is a change in heat setting, wire diameter or type, or work piece material type or thickness. For Aluminum, wire speed is typically set higher (7-9 speed range).

5° - 45° Work Angle 5° - 45° Travel Angle

Figure 6 - Weld Angle

Base Metal Normal Heat, Wire Speed, Travel Speed Heat Too Low Heat Too High Wire Speed Too Fast Travel Speed Too Fast Wire Speed Too Slow Travel Speed Too Slow

Figure 7 - Weld Appearance

Travel Speed

The travel speed is the rate at which the torch is moved across the weld area. Factors such as diameter and type of weld wire, amperage, position, and work piece material thickness all affect the speed of travel necessary for completing a good weld (See Figure 7). When the speed is too fast, the bead is narrow and bead ripples are pointed as shown. When the speed is too slow, the weld metal piles up and the bead is high and wide. For Aluminum, travel speed is typically faster.

Electrode Extension

Electrode extension (or electrode stick-out) is the distance between the end of the contact tip and the end of the welding wire. The recommended electrode extension is from 1/4 to 1/2 in (6 to 13 mm). If the electrode extension is too long, welding current will be reduced and the bead will be high and narrow with less penetration.

Slag Removal (Flux-Cored Wire Only)

Western Windows warning and safety glasses (ANSI Standard Z87.1) and protective clothing when removing slag. Hot, flying debris can cause personal injury to anyone in the area.

After completing the weld, wait for the welded sections to cool. A protective coating called slag now covers the weld bead which prevents contaminants in the air from reacting with the molten metal. Once the weld cools to the point that it is no longer glowing red, the slag can be removed. Removal is done with a chipping hammer. Lightly tap the slag with the hammer and break it loose from the weld bead. The final clean-up is done with a wire brush. When making multiple weld passes, remove the slag before each pass.

Welding Positions

Four basic welding positions can be used; flat, horizontal, vertical, and overhead. Welding in the flat position is easier than any of the others because welding speed can be increased, the molten metal has less tendency to run, better penetration can be achieved, and the work is less fatiguing. Welding is performed with the wire at a 45^ travel angle and 45^ work angle.

Other positions require different techniques such as a weaving pass, circular pass, and jogging. A higher skill level is required to complete these welds.

Overhead welding is the least desirable position as it is the most difficult and dangerous. Heat setting and wire selection will vary depending upon the position.

All work should be performed in the flat position if possible. For specific applications, consult an arc welding technical manual.

Weld Passes

Sometimes more than one pass is necessary to fill the joint. The root pass is first, followed by filler passes and the cover pass. If the pieces are thick, it may be necessary to bevel the edges that are joined at a 60° angle. Remember to remove the slag before each pass for the FCAW process.

WELDING GUIDELINES (CONTINUED)

Push vs Pull Technique

The type and thickness of the work piece dictates which way to point the torch nozzle. For thin materials (18 gauge and smaller) and all aluminum, the nozzle should point out in front of the weld puddle and push the puddle across the workpiece. For thicker steel, the nozzle should point into the puddle to increase weld penetration. This is called backhand or pull technique (See Figure 10).

MAINTENANCE

DisWARNING supply and turn machine off before inspecting or servicing any components. Keep wire compartment cover closed at all times unless wire needs to be changed.

Before Every Use:

1. Check condition of weld cables and immediately repair or replace any cables with damaged insulation.

2. Check condition of power cord and immediately repair or replace any cord if damaged.

3. Inspect the condition of the torch contact tip and nozzle. Remove any weld slag. Replace torch contact tip or nozzle if damaged.

Do WARNING is welding machine with cracked or missing insulation on welding cables, torch or power cord.

Every 3 Months:

1. Replace any unreadable safety labels on the welder.
2. Use compressed air to blow all dust and lint from ventilation openings.
3. Clean wire groove on drive roller. Remove drive roller and use a small wire brush to clean. Replace if worn or damaged.

Consumable and Wear Parts

The following parts require replacement:

• Wire feed drive roller
• Torch liner
• Nozzle/contact tips
• Wire - This welder will accept either 4 inch or 8 inch diameter spools. Flux-Cored welding wire is susceptible to moisture and oxidizes over time, so it is important to select a spool size that will be used within approximately 6 months. For mild steel welding, AWS ER70S6 solid wire or AWS E71T-GS Flux-Cored wire is recommended.

SUPPLY CABLE REPLACEMENT

1. Verify that welder is OFF and power cord disconnected.

2. Remove welder side panel to expose switches.

3. Disconnect the power cord leads per the diagram inside the unit.

4. Disconnect the ground wire connected to welder base.

5. Loosen the cord strain relief screws and pull cord out of strain relief.

6. Install new cord in reverse order per the diagram inside the unit.

Changing Wire Sizes

This welder is setup for .030 inch (0.8 mm) wire. If a different wire size is used, the wire feed drive roller and contact tip may need changing. There are two grooves in the drive roller. The small groove is for .024 inch (0.6 mm) MIG wire and the large groove is for .030 inch - .035 inch (0.8 mm - 0.9 mm) flux core and MIG wire. Rotate the tension knob down and swing arm up. Remove roller support by removing two screws and flip the drive roller to choose the correct groove. The contact tip should also match the wire diameter used. The tip diameter is marked on the contact tip in inches and/or millimeters.
