5. Configuración
5.1 Conexión de alimentación
The FLARING FM155 operates on 110V AC power. Ensure your power source meets the voltage requirements and is properly grounded. Use a dedicated circuit if possible to avoid overloading.
5.2 Wire Installation (Gasless MIG)
For Gasless MIG welding, install the flux-cored wire spool. The machine supports 0.030" (0.8mm), 0.035" (0.9mm), and 0.040" (1.0mm) flux core wire sizes. The included wire is 0.8mm (0.5kg).
- Abra o compartimento de alimentación do fío.
- Place the wire spool onto the spool retainer. Ensure it rotates freely.
- Feed the wire through the wire guide and into the drive roller mechanism.
- Secure the wire with the wire pressing wheel, ensuring proper tension.
- Pecha o compartimento.
- Connect the MIG welding torch to the appropriate port on the front panel.

5.3 Electrode Holder and Ground Clamp Connection (Stick/Lift TIG)
For Stick welding or Lift TIG (requires an additional TIG torch), connect the electrode holder and ground clamp:
- Conecte a terra clamp cable ao terminal negativo (-) da soldadora.
- Conecte o cable do portaelectrodos ao terminal positivo (+) da soldadora.
- Suxeitar o chan clamp firmemente á peza de traballo ou á mesa de soldadura, garantindo un bo contacto eléctrico.
6. Instrucións de funcionamento
The FLARING FM155 offers three welding modes: Gasless MIG, Stick, and Lift TIG. Select the appropriate mode using the controls on the front panel.

6.1 Gasless MIG Welding
Gasless MIG welding uses flux-cored wire, eliminating the need for external shielding gas. This is ideal for outdoor use or when portability is key.
- Asegúrese de que o arame con núcleo fundente estea instalado correctamente (consulte a Sección 5.2).
- Seleccione o modo "MIG sen gas" no panel de control.
- Adjust current (Ampera) e vol.tage settings based on the material thickness and wire diameter. The LED display will guide you.
- Position the MIG torch at the desired angle (typically 10-15 degrees from vertical) and maintain a consistent stick-out.
- Press the trigger to initiate the arc and begin welding.
6.2 Soldadura con electrodo revestido (MMA)
Stick welding (Manual Metal Arc) is a robust process suitable for various metals and conditions.
- Conecte o portaelectrodos e o clavixón de terraamp (refer to Section 5.3).
- Seleccione o modo "Stick/MMA/ARC" no panel de control.
- Introduza o eléctrodo de soldadura axeitado no portaelectródos.
- Axusta a corrente (Amperage) based on the electrode type and diameter, and material thickness.
- Strike the arc by lightly touching and quickly lifting the electrode from the workpiece. Maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed.
6.3 Soldadura TIG con elevación
Lift TIG welding provides precise control and high-quality welds. An additional Lift TIG torch is required (not included).
- Conecte a terra clamp and your Lift TIG torch (not included) to the welder.
- Seleccione o modo "Lift TIG" no panel de control.
- Axusta a corrente (Amperage) as needed for your material and tungsten size.
- Gently touch the tungsten electrode to the workpiece to initiate the arc, then lift slightly to establish the arc.
- Feed filler rod manually into the weld puddle as you progress.
6.4 Soldadura Samples
The FLARING FM155 is capable of welding various materials and joint types, including iron block, galvanized pipe, round tube, chair frames, stainless steel, and general steel frames.

7. Mantemento
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your FLARING FM155 welder. Always disconnect power before performing any maintenance.
- Limpeza: Periodically clean the exterior of the welder with a dry cloth. Use compressed air to blow out dust and debris from the cooling vents.
- Sistema de alimentación de arame: Inspect the wire feed rollers and guides for wear or debris. Clean as necessary to ensure smooth wire feeding. Replace worn contact tips and gas nozzles regularly.
- Inspección de cables: Check all cables (power, MIG torch, electrode holder, ground clamp) for cuts, fraying, or damaged insulation. Replace damaged cables immediately.
- Almacenamento: Garde a soldadora nun ambiente limpo e seco, lonxe de po excesivo, humidade e temperaturas extremas.
