INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing this CLARKE Welder.

The MIG160-S Multi is a machine that automatically sets the welding parameters

according to the wire type and diameter and the shielding gas. This is achieved by

selecting either the amperage, wire feed speed or plate thickness required with a

single knob.

In practical terms, when using a Synergic controlled MIG welding machine, the welder

selects the wire diameter and shielding gas once for any welding operation and then

only needs to adjust one control for the thickness of the material to be welded.

This makes it really easy to set the machine up and to to adjust power (one control).

Good Welds are easily achieved because the Synergic Program takes all the guess

work out of balancing the power and wire feed speed.

If necessary, the balance between power and wire feed speed can be changed from

the machine’s default.

Before attempting to operate the machine it is essential that you read this manual

thoroughly and carefully follow all instructions given. In doing so you will ensure the

safety of yourself and that of others around you, and you can also look forward to the

welder giving you long and satisfactory service.

PRINCIPLES OF THE MACHINE

The MIG-160-S (for Synergic) Multi, adopts advanced synergic technology.

The 45kHz inverter frequency improves the efficiency and power factor with

significant energy saving. This is an inverter double pulse gas shielded welding

machine which can weld low-carbon steel, low-alloy steel, high-strength steel,

stainless steel and aluminium alloys.

It can carry out all-round spot welding, butt welding, fillet welding and lap welding.

Suitable for solid welding wire and stainless steel welding wire aluminium silicon and

aluminium magnesium welding wire.

The gas is shielded by 100% Ar, 100% CO2, 2%CO2+98%Ar, 20%CO2+80%Ar, etc.

The advantages are high efficiency, energy saving, strong arc penetration and small

welding deformation.

A TIG torch kit is not supplied with the machine but are readily available from your

CLARKE dealer.

A wide selection of accessories and consumables are available from your CLARKE

dealer (see page 37).
