Welding and cutting equipment produces fumes or gases which contain chemicals known to the state of
California to cause birth defects and, in some cases, cancer. (California Health & Safety code section 25249.5 et
seq.)
2. Product Description
The MIG 175 welder is ready to weld with or without shielding gas. Flux cored arc welding (FCAW) uses a
welding wire with flux contained on the inside of the wire. MIG or Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) uses an
external supply (cylinder) of shielding gas to shield the arc puddle from the atmosphere. Gases include CO2 and
C-25 (75% Argon/25%CO2) for mild steel, a triple mix of Argon, CO2 and Helium for stainless steel and Argon,
used for aluminum. In the welding process, an arc is created between the welding wire and work piece, melting
the two materials and joining them together. The welding wire is continuously fed through the gun to the work
piece, allowing the operator to concentrate on stick out (distance between the end of the wire and the work piece)
and travel speed. The MIG 175 is designed to weld mild steel materials from 26 gauge to 3/16" and performs
best using .023", .030" or .035" solid wire with C25 shielding gas or .030" and .035" flux cored or self shielding
wire. It can weld stainless steel materials from 18 gauge to 11 gauge (1/8") and aluminum materials from 16
gauge to 11 gauge (1/8").
Features of the MIG 175 wire feed welder:
Compact design includes the welder and wire feeder that fit in a small case for easy transport.
Popular 230 Volt power input for maximum convenience.
Ready to weld with or without shielding gas. Includes sample spool of flux cored wire to allow operator to
weld out of the box.
Low heat affected area when used with C25 and .023" wires for reduced distortion.
Welds thinner materials (26 gauge) with .023" wire and C25 shielding gas.
Welds up to 3/16" materials with .035" flux cored wires.
Tweco style replacement nozzle, contact tips and adaptor for easy access to replacement parts.

3. Technical Specifications
3.1 Proper Environment for Welder
* The ambient temperature range: when welding: -14°F–104°F,
during transport or in storage: -13F–131°F
* Relative humidity: when at 104°F: ≤50%,
when at 68°F: ≤90%.
* The dust, acid and erodible materials in the air can not exceed the amount required by the norm (apart from the
emissions from the welding process). No violent vibrations at the job site.
* Do not use in the rain or other wet conditions.
3.2 Required Power Supply
* Input voltage should not exceed more than ±10% of the rated voltage.
3.3 Standards for Welder
MIG 175 is listed according to the following standard:
