SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: Please read the following instructions carefully, failure to do so could lead to serious personal injury and/or damage to the MIG welder.
- When using your MIG welder, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and/or damage to the MIG welder.
- Read all of these instructions before operating the MIG welder and save this user manual for future reference.
- The MIG welder should not be modified or used for any application other than that for which it was designed.
- This MIG welder was designed to supply electric current for MIG welding.
- If you are unsure of its relative applications do not hesitate to contact us and we will be more than happy to advise you.
- Before each use of the MIG welder always check no parts are broken and that no parts are missing.
- Always operate the MIG welder safely and correctly.
- KNOW YOUR MIG WELDER: Read and understand the owner’s manual and labels affixed to the MIG welder. Learn its applications and limitations, as well as the potential hazards specific to it.
- KEEP WORK AREA CLEAN AND WELL LIT: Cluttered work benches and dark areas invite accidents. Floors must not be slippery due to oil, water or sawdust etc.
- DO NOT USE THE MIG WELDER IN DANGEROUS ENVIRONMENTS: Do not use the big welder in damp or wet locations, or expose it to rain. Provide adequate space surrounding the work area. Do not use in environments with a potentially explosive atmosphere.
- KEEP CHILDREN AND UNTRAINED PERSONNEL AWAY FROM THE WORK AREA: All visitors should be kept at a safe distance from the work area.
- STORE THE MIG WELDER SAFELY WHEN NOT IN USE: The mig welder should be stored in a dry location and disconnected from the mains supply, and out of the reach of chil-dren.
- USE SAFETY CLOTHING / EQUIPMENT: Use a CE approved welding mask at all times with the correct shade of filter lens. A fume extractor should be used particularly where there is little or no ventilation.
- PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ELECTRIC SHOCK: When working with the mig welder, avoid contact with any earthed items (e.g. pipes, radiators, hobs and refrigerators, etc.). It is advisable wherever possible to use an RCD (residual current device) at the mains socket.
- STAY ALERT: Always watch what you are doing and use common sense. Do not oper-ate the mig welder when you are tired or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- DISCONNECT THE MIG WELDER FROM THE MAINS SUPPLY: When not in use and before servicing.
- AVOID UNINTENTIONAL ARCING: Make sure the switch is in the OFF position before con-necting the mig welder to the mains supply.
- NEVER LEAVE THE MIG WELDER CONNECTED WHILST UNATTENDED: Turn the mig welder off and disconnect it from the mains supply between jobs. Do not leave the mig weld-er connected to the mains supply if no more welding is to be done.
- DO NOT ABUSE THE MAINS LEAD: Never attempt to move the mig welder by the mains lead or pull it to remove the plug from the mains socket. Keep the mains lead away from heat, oil, and sharp edges. If the mains lead is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a similarly qualified person in order to avoid unwanted hazards. All extension cables must be checked at regular intervals and re-placed if damaged.
- CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS: Before every use of the mig welder, any damage found should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate correctly, safely and per-form its intended function. Any damaged, split or missing parts that may affect its op-eration should be correctly repaired or replaced by an authorised service centre un-less otherwise indicated in this instruction manual.
- KEEP ALL PANELS IN PLACE: Never operate the mig welder with any panels removed, this is extremely dangerous.
- MAINTAIN THE MIG WELDER WITH CARE: Keep the earth clamp and mig torch clean for the best and safest performance.
- USE ONLY RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES: Consult this user manual, your distributor or SIP directly for recommended accessories. Follow the instructions that accompany the accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause hazards and will invalidate any warranty you may have.
- SECURE THE WORKPIECE: Always use welding clamps to secure the workpiece. This frees up both hands to operate the mig welder correctly.
- DO NOT OVERREACH: Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
- USE THE RIGHT TOOL: Do not use the mig welder to do a job for which it was not designed.
- DO NOT OPERATE THE MIG WELDER IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES: Do not use the mig welder in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, dust or other combustible sources. Mig welding will create sparks which can ignite the dust or fumes.
- DO NOT EXPOSE THE MIG WELDER TO RAIN OR USE IT IN WET CONDITIONS: Water enter-ing the mig welder will greatly increase the risk of electric shock.
- HAVE YOUR MIG WELDER REPAIRED BY A QUALIFIED PERSON: The mig welder is in accordance with the relevant safety requirements. Repairs should only be carried out by qualified persons using original spare parts, otherwise, this may result in considerable danger to the user.
- Stop operation immediately if you notice anything abnormal.
- Always disconnect the plug from the mains supply before cleaning or servicing etc.
- Be alert at all times, especially during repetitive, monotonous operations; Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security.
- Use of improper accessories may cause damage to the mig welder and sur-rounding area as well as increasing the risk of injury.
- Do not modify the mig welder to do tasks other than those intended.
- To avoid injury, the work-piece should never be held with the bare hands. Appropriate personal protective equipment MUST be worn and MUST be de-signed to protect against all hazards created.
- Severe permanent injury can re-sult from using inappropriate or insufficient protective equipment – Eyes in par-ticular are at risk.
- The work must be clamped firmly whilst welding, If its loose it could result in per-sonal injury, damage to the machine or to the item that is being welded.
- DO NOT attempt any repairs unless you are a competent electrician or engi-neer.
- Ensure that the machine is connected to the correct supply voltage and pro-tected by a fuse or circuit breaker of the recommend rating.
ELECTRIC SHOCK
- Keep your body and clothing dry. Never work in a damp area without ade-quate insulation against electrical shock, stay on a dry duck board, or rubber mat when dampness or sweat can not be avoided. Sweat, sea water or mois-ture between the body and an electrically HOT part or grounded metal reduces the body surface electrical resistance enabling dangerous and possibly lethal currents to flow through the body.
- NEVER allow live metal parts to touch bare skin or any wet clothing, be sure welding gloves are dry.
- Before welding, check for continuity; Be sure the earth clamp is connected to the work piece as close to the welding areas as possible. Grounds connected to building frame work or other remote locations from the welding area reduce efficiency and increase the potential electric shock hazard. Avoid the possibility of the welding current passing through lifting chains, crane cables or various electric paths.
- Frequently inspect leads for wear, splits, cracks and any other damage. IMME-DIATELY replace those with worn or damaged insulation to avoid a possibly le-thal shock from bare leads.
- All inflammable materials must be removed from the area.
- Have a suitable fire extinguisher available close by.
- Causes of fire and explosion are; combustibles reached by the arc, flame, fly-ing sparks, hot slag or heated material, misuse of compressed gases and cylin-ders and short circuits.
- Flying sparks or falling slag can pass through cracks along pipes, through win-dows or doors and through walls or floor openings and out of sight of the opera-tor. Sparks and slag can fly up to 10 metres.
- Keep equipment clean and operable; Free of oil, grease and of metallic parti-cles (in electrical parts) that can cause short circuits.
- If combustibles are in the area DO NOT weld; Move the work, if practical to an area free of combustibles. Avoid paint spray rooms, dip tanks, storage areas and ventilators.
- If the work can not be moved then move the combustibles at least 10 metres away and out of the reach of sparks and heat, or protect against ignition with suitable and snug-fitting fire-resistant covers or shields.
- Walls touching combustibles on opposite sides should not be welded on, walls, ceilings and the floor near the work area should be protected by heat resistant covers or shields.
- Openings (concealed or visible) in floors or walls within 10 metres may expose combustibles to sparks.
- Combustibles adjacent to walls, ceilings, roofs or metal partitions can be ignited by radiant or conducted heat.
- After the work is done, check that the area is free of sparks, glowing embers and flames.
- An empty container that has held combustibles, or that can produce flamma-ble or toxic vapours when heated, must never be welded, unless the container has first been cleaned. Consult HSE INDG214, HSG250 and CS15. HSE docu-ment CS15 includes information on cleaning by thorough steam or solvent/caustic cleaning followed by purging and inserting with nitrogen, carbon diox-ide or water filling just below working level.
- A container with unknown contents should be treated as if it contained combus-tibles (see previous paragraph), DO NOT depend on sense of smell or sight to determine if it is safe to weld.
- Hollow items must be vented before welding as they can explode.
- Explosive atmosphere; Never weld when the air may contain flammable dust, gas or liquid vapours (such as petrol).
GLARE AND BURNS
- The electric welding arc must not be observed with the naked eye. Always use the welding mask , ensure the welding mask is fitted with the correct shade of filter lens for the welding current level.
- Welding gauntlet gloves should be worn to protect the hands from burns, non-synthetic overalls with buttons at the neck and wrist, or similar clothing should be worn.
- Greasy overalls should not be worn. Wear suitable protective footwear. Wear protective clothing, welding gauntlet gloves, hat and high safety toe shoes.
- Avoid oily or greasy clothing, a spark may ignite them.
- Hot metal such as electrode stubs and work pieces should never be handled without gloves.
- First aid facilities and a qualified first aid person should be available for each shift unless medical facilities are close by for immediate treatment of flash burns to the eyes and skin.
- Flammable hair products should not be used by persons intending to weld. Warn bystanders not to watch the arc and not to expose themselves to the welding-arc rays or to hot metal.
- Keep children away whilst welding, they are not aware that looking at an arc can cause serious eye damage.
- Protect other nearby personnel from arc rays and hot sparks with a suitable non-flammable partition.
VENTILATION
- Ventilation must be adequate to remove the smoke and fumes during welding (see the relevant safety standard for acceptable levels).
- Toxic gases may be given off when welding, especially if zinc or cadmium-coated materials are involved, welding should be carried out in a well ventilated area and the operator should always be alert to fume build-up.
- Areas with little or no ventilation should always use a fume extractor.
- Vapours of chlorinated solvents can form the toxic gas phosgene when ex-posed to U.V radiation from an electric arc. All solvents, degreasers and poten-tial sources of these vapours must be removed from the arc area.
- Severe discomfort, illness or death can result from fumes, vapours, heat, oxygen enrichment or depletion that welding (or cutting) may produce. This will be prevented by adequate ventilation or using a fume extractor. NEVER ventilate with oxygen.
- Lead, cadmium, zinc, mercury, beryllium bearing and similar materials when welded may produce harmful concentrations of toxic fumes. Adequate ventilation must be provided for every person in the area. The operator should also wear an air-supplied respirator, for beryllium both must be used.
- Metals coated with or containing materials that emit toxic fumes should not be heated unless the coating is removed from the work surface. The area should be well ventilated or the operator should wear an air-supplied respirator.
- Work in a confined space only while it is being ventilated and if necessary whilst wearing an air-supplied respirator.
- Gas leaks in a confined space should be avoided, leaking gas in large quantities can change oxygen concentration dangerously. DO NOT bring gas cylinders into a confined space.
- Leaving a confined space you must shut off the gas supply at the source to prevent possible accumulation of gases in the space if downstream valves are left open. Check to be sure that the space is safe before re-entering it.
- Vapours from chlorinated solvents can be decomposed by the heat of the arc (or flame) to form phosgene a highly toxic gas and other lung and eye-irritating products. The ultraviolet (radiant) energy of the arc can also decompose tri-chloroethylene and perchloroethylene vapours to form phosgene. DO NOT WELD or cut where solvent vapours can be drawn into the welding atmosphere, or where the radiant energy can penetrate to atmospheres containing even minute amounts of trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene.
- When using the MIG welder always ensure the operator as well as those in the area use a welding mask with the correct shade filter lens.
- Some metals and metal composites have the potential to be highly toxic; always wear a face mask.
- CAUTION: The warnings and cautions mentioned in this user manual can not cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which can-not be built into this product, but must be applied.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
WARNING! It is the responsibility of the owner and the operator to read,
understand and comply with the following: You must check all electrical
products, before use, to ensure that they are safe. You must inspect power
cables, plugs, sockets and any other connectors for wear or damage. You must
ensure that the risk of electric shock is minimised by the installation of
appro-priate safety devices; A residual current circuit Breaker (RCCB) should
be incorporated in the main distribution board. We also recommend that a
residual current device (RCD) is used. It is particularly important to use an
RCD with portable products that are plugged into a supply which is not
protected by an RCCB. If in any doubt consult a qualified electrician.
Connecting to the power supply:
The T126 and T136 are supplied with a 13A plug pre-fitted. The T166 is
supplied without a plug fitted, it must not be connected a 13A supply, consult
the technical specification table (page 13) for the required rating, if in
doubt contact a qualified electrician. Before using the welder, inspect the
all the leads and plugs to ensure that non are damaged. If any damage is
visible have the welder inspected / repaired by a suitably qualified person.
The wires for the plug are coloured in the following way:
- Yellow / green Earth
- Blue Neutral
- Brown Live
As the colours of the wires may not correspond with the markings in your
plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the terminal, which is
marked L or coloured red. The wire which is coloured blue, must be connected
to the terminal marked with N or coloured black. The wire which is coloured
yellow/green should be connected to the terminal which is coloured the same or
marked with this symbol Always secure the wires in the plug terminal carefully
and tightly. Secure the cable in the cord grip carefully.
- Warning: Never connect live or neutral wires to the earth terminal of the plug. Only fit an approved plug with the correct rated fuse. If in doubt consult a qualified electrician.
- Note: Always make sure the mains supply is of the correct voltage and the correct fuse protection is used. In the event of replacing the fuse always replace the fuse with the same value as the original.
- Note: If an extension lead is required in order to reach the mains supply; ensure that this too is rated for the correct voltage and fuse rating.

Aluminium | Solid | + | – | Argon |
POWER SETTINGS
The Weldmate T126 has 2 power settings (see left diagram).
The Weldmate T136 has 4 power settings (see below diagram).
FITTING AND FEEDING THE WIRE
- Fit the wire spool onto the spool holder – if using a 5kg reel ensure it is correctly seated – Secure in place by tightening the nut.
Note: The wire should always feed from the bottom of the reel.
- Check the wire feed roller matches the wire size; If not remove the roller cover by rotating it by a ¼ of a turn anti-clockwise, turn the roller over, and refit the cover.
- Connect the welder to a suitable electrical supply, but do not switch on. Remove the shroud from the torch by rotating the shroud clockwise and pulling at the same time. Remove the MIG tip.
- Pull the pressure adjustment knob so it pivots off the tension arm.
- Remove the free end of the MIG wire from the side of the wire spool, trim the distorted end of the wire with a pair of wire cutters; Hold the wire carfully as it will try to unwind from the spool.
- Lift the tension arm.
- Pass the wire through the inlet guide, through the wire feed roller groove and then in to the torch liner.
- Lower the tension arm and pivot the pressure adjustment knob up and back on to the tension arm.
- Switch the welder on.
- Hold the torch out straight and press the torch trigger until the wire passes out of the end of the torch.
- Refit the MIG tip and shroud.
- Adjust the pressure adjustment knob so the wire feeds smoothly but not so much that the wire is crushed.
PREPARATION FOR WELDING
- Clean the area to be welded, and the earthing point of all rust, paint and contaminants etc.
- Place the earth clamp onto a cleaned area of the workpiece.
- Connect the welder to the electrical supply but do not switch it on.
WELDING
- Fit the correct size tip to match your wire & wire feed roller.
- Set the voltage and wire speed by turning the appropriate controls. Switch the welder on.
- Press the torch trigger and feed the wire out slightly.
- Cut the wire about 3mm from the end of the mig tip.
- Turn on the gas supply (T136 & T166 only).
Note: If using solid wire check the gas is the correct type and the gas regu-lator (not supplied) is turned on.
- Position the torch so the mig tip is about 6mm from the point where the welding is to commence.
- Press the torch trigger and the wire will feed, move the torch slowly in the cho-sen direction.
- Once the weld is completed, release the torch trigger.
- For future reference make a note the voltage and wire speed setting material that has been welded.
Note: It is advisable to check the correct settings on a scrap piece of
met-al which is the same as the one to be welded.
Note: If the arc has a humming sound and a blob forms on the end of the
mig tip then you have insufficient wire speed and it should be increased. If
the arc has an erratic sound, and the torch feels that the wire is hitting
against the work then the wire speed is to high. When the wire speed is
correct you should get a steady crackling sound.
MAINTENANCE
- If the fault light illuminates you should contact your distributor, or SIP directly to have the welder checked / repaired.
- Clear dust from the machine at regular intervals, if used in a dirty environment the machine should be cleaned once a month.
- Check all connections are clean and tight, if there is any oxidization clean the connection with a mild abrasive or wire brush.
- Check all cable for damaged or degradation to the insulation, replace if any found.
- Check earth clamp condition ensure they clamp tightly, replace if damaged or loose.
- If the machine is not to be used for a long time, store it in the original packing a dry place.
- The mig tip and shroud must be cleaned frequently to removes spatter. Replace the mig tip regularly, good electrical contact between the tip and wire is essential.
- The torch liner should be blown through with dry compressed air from time to time, if the wire does not pass freely through the liner it should be replaced.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Note: If none of the above solutions work then contact your local distributor for repair, or contact SIP technical for more advise.
