MinarcMig Adaptive 180 is an easy-to-use MIG welding machine suitable for both hobby and professional use. The welding machine is small, efficient and extremely light. It is easy to carry with the help of a shoulder strap. The machine is suitable for a range of different purposes and the possibility to use a long extention cord eases operation in various sites.
You can also use steel wire (solid or cored wire), stainless steel wire or aluminium wire as filler wire in the machine. The steel wire can be 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm or 1.0 mm thick, but the machine’s welding properties are optimum with a steel wire of 0.8 mm diameter.
MaCHine use The machine is delivered ready for operation without adjustments with 0.8 mm diameter filler wire. If you use different thickness filler wire, make sure that the feed roll groove, welding gun contact tip and machine polarity are suited for the used wire size and type.
general View OF tHe MaCHine Welding gun Earthing cable Main switch Supply voltage cable Shielding gas hose connector distriButiOn netwOrk All regular electrical devices without special circuits generate harmonic currents into distribution network. High rates of harmonic current may cause losses and disturbance to some equipment.
The machine can also be used with a generator. The minimum power for the generator is 4.2 kVA, and the recommended power 8.0 kVA in order for the machine to be used at maximum capacity. earthing The earthing cable is already connected to the machine. Clean the workpiece surface and fix the earthing cable clamp to the piece in order to create a closed and interference-free circuit needed for welding.
shielding gas The shielding gas used for steel wires is carbon dioxide or a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide which replaces air in the arc’s area. Shielding gas for stainless steel wires is a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide (2%) and argon for aluminium wires.
Filler wire The machine is delivered with the welding gun connected to +pole making it suitable for steel solid wire, stainless steel wire and aluminium wire welding without adjustments. 2.5.1 Changing the feed roll groove The feed roll groove is factory set for welding filler wires of 0.8–1.0 mm diameter.
2.5.2 threading the filler wire Open the reel housing by pressing on the opening button and install the wire reel in such a way that it rotates counter clockwise. You can use either a 5 kg (diameter 200 mm) or 1 kg (100 mm) wire reel in the machine.
NOTE! When driving the wire in to the gun, do not point the gun at yourself or others or put, for example, your hand in front of the tip, because the cut wire end is extremely sharp. Also, do not put your fingers near the feed rolls, because they might get squeezed between the rolls.

When you switch the machine on, a green standby light switches on. Simultaneously, the main switch indicator light switches on. If the machine overheats or the supply voltage is too low or too high, the welding operation automatically switches off and the yellow overheating indicator light switches on.
display during welding. The last used values remain on the display until welding is restarted or settings are changed. When adjusting the arc length, the voltage display shows a comparative scale (-9…0…9) which will disappear from the display after some time once the adjustment is made.
Once the arc has been trimmed, it usually does not need to be changed when the welded sheet thickness changes. 2.6.4 display in manual mode Operating mode Wire feed speed chart Welding values: wire feed speed, welding voltage and welding current The selected operating mode is visible on the display.
tHreading tHe sHOulder strap The machine is delivered with a shoulder strap which helps carrying the machine. Thread the shoulder strap in place according to the picture. NOTE! The machine should not be hung up from the shoulder strap.
serViCe When servicing the machine, its utilization degree and environmental circumstances should be taken into account. If you use the machine appropriately and service it regularly, you will spare yourself from unnecessary malfunctions. NOTE! Disconnect the machine from the mains before handling the electrical cables.

Cleaning the wire guide Pressure of the feed rolls remove metal dust from the filler wire’s surface which then finds its way to the wire guide. If the wire guide is not cleaned, it gradually clogs up and causes wire feed malfunctions. Clean the wire guide in the following manner: Remove the welding gun’s gas nozzle, contact tip and contact tip’s adapter.
dispOsal Do not dispose of electrical equipment with normal waste! In observance of European Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and electronic equipment, and its implementation in accordance with national law, electrical equipment that has reached the end of its life must be collected separately and taken to an appropriate environmentally responsible recycling facility.
