MIG (GMAW) WELDING 5-14 Manual 0-5617

EasyWeld / HandyWeld 160

NOTE!

At this moment you can operate with the
recommended welding Quick Set data , once
an arc is established, the digital display will be
changed to show the welding current.

If the Welding Current is found to be too High or
too Low for the application the Wire Feed Speed
can be adjusted to the desired value.

Once WFS/AMPs function is selected by pressing
the Control Knob the setting it can be adjusted by
turning the Control Knob Clockwise to increase
value or turning the Control Knob Anti-clockwise
to decrease the value.

If the Control Knob is turned slowly it will adjust
in small increments and if turned quickly it will
adjust in larger increments.

Note: Adjusting the Wire Feed Speed (WFS) may
also change the Voltage Value Synergically.

Volts Function (Volts)

Figure 5-25: Select to Display Pre-set Volts Value

Once Volts function is selected by pressing the

Control Knob either the Voltage range can be
adjusted or the Volts Trim value can be adjusted
by turning the Control Knob Clockwise to increase
value or turning the Control Knob Anti-clockwise
to decrease the value.

Preview Voltage

When in Volts Function, by turning the Control

Knob you can vary the Pre-set Voltage from the
Factory Set Quick Set values. Once the Volts Trim
function is selected the Pre-set Voltage can be
adjusted by turning the Control Knob Clockwise
to increase value or turning the Control Knob Anti-
clockwise to decrease the value.

Volts Trim

Figure 5-26: Select to Display Voltage Trim Value

The Volts Trim function is selected by first selecting
Volts function and then holding the Control Knob
depressed for approximately 3 seconds. The
display will change from the Pre-set Volts Value
to display the Volts Trim Value.

The LED Display will show 0.0 when in the factory
Quick Set Value for the selected Wire and Plate
Thickness. If adjustments are made and you are
unhappy with the results, you can simply return
the Volts Trim to 0.0 to go back to the Factory Set
Quick Set Voltage Value.

For example if the Pre-set Voltage displayed is 15V
and in volts trim mode the setting is changed to
-2.0 then the Pre-set voltage will now be 13V. If
the Volts Trim is changed to 4.0 then the Pre-set
Voltage will be 19V.

Note: The Volts Trim range will only allow

adjustment with the selectable Voltage range for
the Wire and Plate Thickness selected.

Note: when switching from Pre-set volts to Volts
Trim display, the voltage trim value will remain for
5s and then return to pre-set volts if there is no
more adjustment; if you adjust the voltage trim
value, it will keep displaying the voltage trim value
for 5s after no adjustments have been made.

Restoring Factory Weld Settings

If you manually change either WFS/AMPS or

Volts/TRIM from the factory settings on the
Plate Thickness, and you need to revert back to
the factory setting then, simply change the Wire
Diameter setting and revert back to the actual
diameter in use and this will return the parameters
back to factory settings.

Alternatively the EasyWeld 160 and HandyWeld

160 can have Factory Default Settings restored.
To do this hold the Control Knob and Process
Selection Control Button depressed at the same
time for three seconds (3s). The LED Digital meter
will flash 3 times displaying “- - -” to indicate a
Factory Reset has been completed.
