Assembling The Unit - Snap-On MIG185i Manual Del Usuario

Position the welding machine so as to allow the free circulation
of air inside and, as much as possible, prevent metal or other
dusts from penetrating.
• Electrical supply: ensure that there is a 208 or 230 volt,
single phase, 30 ampere electrical supply within easy reach
of the unit. The input cable supplied is 9 feet long.
Attach a suitable plug making sure the green yellow wire is
attached to the ground terminal of the wall plug. All wiring
should be performed by a qualified electrician
• The machine must be installed by professional personnel.
• All the connections must be performed in compliance
with applicable standards (IEC/CEI EN 60974-9) and with
accident-prevention laws.
• Make sure the power supply voltage corresponds to the
welding machine rating.
• The protection fuses must be sized according to the details
shown on the technical data plate.
Make sure the ground wire
compartment, is connected to the negative pole
coming out of the dividing wall.
The polarity is stamped alongside the two terminals, the
polarity is stamped on. The positive pole + is that at the
top, nearest to the wire feed motor. The negative pole – is
the one lower down, nearest to the ground lead exit.
Connect the ground lead clamp

REEL FITTING SEQUENCE
Electrical shock can result when contacting live
electrode or internal components
Electrical shock can result from absence of
grounding lug.
Welding machine must be connected to
power source in accordance with applicable
electrical codes.
Please refer to the troubleshooting tip sec-
tion located at our web site (www.800AB-
CWELD.com) for information on wiring the
220 V plug if needed.
Do not touch electrode or internal compo-
nents without protection.
Disconnect power before servicing.
Do not remove the grounding lug in any elec-
trical plug.
Electrical shock can cause injury.
During wire installation, the welder must be switched
off and unplugged to prevent the motor roller from
movingpresenting a risk for the operator.
• Fit the reel on the support inside the compartment as
shown in fig. 1.
• The reel must be fitted on the support so the wire
unwinds in an clockwise direction. It is important for
the wire to be stopped on the reel on the visible side,
see fig. 2. Block the reel on the support, as shown in
the illustration.
• Make sure the drive roller is correctly positioned
according to the diameter and type of wire used. To
remove the roller, align the flat part of the roller-bearing
pin at the bottom, so the key can be fitted inside the
retention screw. Loosen the screw, remove the roller, fit
