Hello, I have just bought a cosmo mig welder but it has no instructions, does anyone know what settings to use as it has 6 power settings and a dial that goes plus to negative :?:
I'm using it to weld the floor pan in my Disco.

Cheers

Gareth

Guardian.:
stick it on one of the numbered settings, it should click between them.
this will determine the amps, or the power it uses, so the higher the number the more amps, thicker steel.
then the other dial should be like a volume switch, this is the wire speed, turn it down low to start, start welding and turn it up slowly to you get a nice bead of weld.
even if you have never welded before , it will just feel and sound right when its running proppa.
depending on what your welding, i would get someone who can weld to explain a few things though.
you can with a mig welder put down a lovely looking weld but its sitting on the top of the steel, had no penetration :D
you dont want to start welding things together especial crucial things like chassis etc, and it shakes to bits!
