For Informational Purposes Only. Don't attempt to Mig Weld or do any other type of welding without Certified Welding Training. With or Without that Certified knowledge, welding can be hazardous, and by welding you do so at your own risk.
NEVER open up a welding machine as it can still have dangerous voltage builtup in the electronics.
Whenever changing out consumables on a Mig Welder, first TURN OFF the machine and unplug it, also.
