  • Page 3: Guarantee

    GUARANTEE This CLARKE product is guaranteed against faulty manufacture for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase. Please keep your receipt as proof of purchase. This guarantee is invalid if the product is found to have been abused or tampered with in any way, or not used for the purpose for which it was intended.
  • Page 4: Electromagnetic Interference (Emc)

    ELECTROMAGNETIC INTERFERENCE (EMC) Whilst this unit complies with EMC regulations, the user is responsible for installing and using the welding equipment according to the manufacturers instructions. If electromagnetic disturbances are detected then it shall be the responsibility of the user of the welding equipment to resolve the situation. In some cases this remedial action may be as simple as earthing the welding circuit, see ‘Note’.
  • Page 5 take additional precautions such as filtering of the mains supply. Consideration should be given to shielding the supply cable of permanently installed welding equipment, in metallic conduit or equivalent. Shielding should be electrically continuous throughout its length. The shielding should be connected to the welding power source so that good electrical contact is maintained between the conduit and the welding power source enclosure.
  • Page 6: Safety Precautions

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR ALL TYPES OF WELDING 1. WARNING: As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked, or ignored, personal injury to the operator may result.
  • Page 7 C) Fire and explosion prevention Causes of fire and explosion are: 1) combustibles reached by the arc, flame, flying sparks, hot slag or heated material; 2) misuse of compressed gases and cylinders; 3) short circuits. BE AWARE THAT flying sparks or falling slag can pass through cracks, along pipes, through windows or doors, and through wall or floor openings, out of sight of the goggled operator.
  • Page 8 3. ELECTRIC ARC (MIG, TIG) WELDING Comply with precautions in 1 above, and this section. Arc welding, properly done, is a safe process, but a careless operator invites trouble. The equipment carries high currents at significant voltages. The arc is very bright and hot. Sparks fly, fumes rise, ultraviolet and infrared energy radiates, weldments are hot.
  • Page 9 3B) TOXIC FUME PREVENTION Comply with precautions in 2B. Generator engine exhaust must be vented to the outside air. Carbon monoxide can kill. 3C) FIRE AND EXPLOSION PREVENTION Comply with precautions in 2C. Equipment’s rated capacity. Do not overload arc welding equipment.
  • Page 10 2) Electrode holders Fully insulated electrode holders should be used. Do NOT use holders with protruding screws or with any form of damage. 3) Connectors Fully insulated lock-type connectors should be used to join welding cable. 4) Cables Frequently inspect cables for wear, cracks and damage. IMMEDIATELY REPLACE those with excessively worn or damaged insulation to avoid possibly lethal shock from bared cable.

    AND never use the machine with any of the panels removed. ✗ NEVER attempt any electrical or mechanical repair unless your are a qualified technician. If you have a problem with the machine contact your local CLARKE dealer.
  • Page 12 ✗ NEVER use or store in a wet/damp environment. DO NOT EXPOSE TO RAIN. ✗ The MIG welding process uses an INERT gas to protect the weld pool. It is important to ensure the appropriate gas is being used. NEVER use gas from a cylinder, the content of which is unknown.
  • Page 13: Principles Of Operation

    SAFETY EQUIPMENT A comprehensive range of CLARKE safety equipment for use when welding is available from your local dealer. MIG WELDING - PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding is a process in which a power wire electrode is fed continuously into the weld pool at a controlled, constant rate.
  • Page 14: Electrical Connections

    ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS WARNING+! THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE EARTHED. A. MIGs 110E, 110EN, 130EN, 135TE ONLY These welders are fitted with a standard 13 amp BS 1363 plug, fitted with a 13 amp fuse. Connect to a 230 volt (50Hz) domestic electrical supply and we strongly recommend that this be done via a Residual Current Device (RCD).
  • Page 15: Unpacking And Parts Identification

    UNPACKING & PARTS IDENTIFICATION Unpack and lay out the components, checking against the following list. Any damage or deficiency should be reported to your CLARKE dealer immediately. Most of the components are stored within the side compartment. To open the compartment, put your finger in the hole in the side cover, and pull sharply.
  • Page 16: Welding Shield

    It is important to pay attention to the notes on welding shield maintenance, given on page 23. When replacing the glass panels, use ONLY those parts supplied by Clarke International. The dark panel is a certified, specific optical class, and should not be exchanged for any other type.
  • Page 17 Unscrew and remove the plastic knob (5), followed by the spring (4) and collar (3) from the hub (1). (If the spool is already fitted during initial assembly, remove the plastic covering). Slide the spool over the hub, ensuring that it sits snugly, and replace the collar, spring and plastic knob, tightening it sufficiently to allow the spool to rotate smoothly but with a slight amount of braking friction.
  • Page 18: Connecting The Gas Supply

    A mini gas bottle complete with gas regulator is provided. Should you prefer to use larger gas cylinders, the appropriate gas regulator and fittings need to be acquired. Your Clarke dealer will be happy to advise in this regard. Always use the appropriate gas for the material being welded. Three types are...
  • Page 19: Preparation For Use

    Attach the mini gas bottle to the Fig.5 machine as described in ‘Assembly’ on page 15, then connect up as follows: (Ref. Fig. 5) Remove the protective cap from the cylinder outlet and screw on the regulator (14), fully, BUT DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Simply push the gas hose, at the rear of the machine, into the gas regulator outlet, as far as...
