Calibrating the Flow Rate

One of the ways we can test the flow rate of the gas through the welder is the use of a peashooter gas flow meter that fits onto the end of the nozzel

The typical flow rate for Mig should be around 15-20 litres/min Our current reading is 19

Disengaging the wire feed

In order to avoid wire being fed from the Mig nozzel We need to disengage the wire feed.
(Make sure the machine is off while doing this)
