Hobart Mig-Man RC150

[Paultan]

I recently bought this mig welder through grays online in NZ. I'm new to welding but am getting better (the wonders of Youtube!).

But I'm trying to locate a manual, or at the very least a better understanding of the knobs. Have worked out voltage, wire feed, and a knob that 'spot' welds or tacks.

Has anyone out there had any experience of using one?

Cheers
Paul

I'm aware of Hobart catering equipment but have never seen a welder made by them ?

No experience using one of those... but it sure does look like a dinosaur!

Thanks for the feedback guys. Crikey 17 yrs !!! It seems to work fine, just need to get the operator up to speed :o !!

looks like...

pulse delay, pulse length, weld type (spot, pulse, constant), wire speed..

And down the bottom - amperage...

looks like...

pulse delay, pulse length, weld type (spot, pulse, constant), wire speed..

And down the bottom - amperage...

at 12 oclock, pulse lenght
at 3 oclock spot pulse and constant
at 6 feed speed
at 9 delay

at the bottom should be voltage if its a mig.

inside the unit you should be able to reverse the connections for +/- electrode.

Bottom one is voltage - MIG's are constant current machines.

Thanks Dave. What does the delay switch do? I have figured out the others.
