The Mig100 130 welder requires a dedicated 120 AC , 60 Hz power input. Please check carefully the
welder you have in hand is 120V before using. If using an extension cord, use a minimum 12 AWG cord for
up to 25 feet.

3. Remove the Drive Roller Thumb Screw by turning it counter clockwise and pulling it away from the
roller.
4. Remove the Drive Roller and view the wire sizes stamped on each side of the roller.
5. Install the Drive Roller in the orientation so that the size of the wire you are using is facing you on
the side of the drive roller.
6. Reinstall the Drive Roller Thumb Screw.
7. Put the Rocker Arm back in place and reset the Pressure Adjuster.
