SAFETY MEASURES
Caution: Improper use of any welding machine can result in injury or death.
CONNECT THE WELDING APPLIANCE ONLY TO THE APPROPRIATE ENERGY SOURCE. This
information is given on the rating plate on the welding machine. When welding outdoors, use only an
extension cord designed for such use.
WORK WITH THE APPLIANCE ONLY ON A DRY AREA AND ON A SOLID GROUND. Make sure the
work area is clean and tidy.
MAKE SURE THERE ARE NO FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES IN THE WORKING AREA.
KEEP CLEAN CLOTHES WITHOUT TRACE OF GREASE OR OIL AT WORK.
MAKE SURE THE CABLES DO NOT COME INTO CONTACT WITH GREASE OR OIL and never
wrap them around your shoulders.
SAFE WORK WITH CLAMPS or in other means, do not overdo it.
NEVER ESTABLISH AN ARCH ON A PRESSURE GAS TANK.
THE UNINSULATED PART OF THE ELECTRODE HOLDER SHOULD NEVER TOUCH THE
GROUND WHILE THE CURRENT IS FLOWING!
IT IS NECESSARY TO TURN OFF AND DISCONNECT THE CABLES WHEN REPAIRING OR
ADJUSTING THE APPLIANCE. Check the device before each use. Use only original spare parts.
FOLLOW ALL MANUFACTURER'S RULES regarding modification, and adjustment of the device.
APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE NON-FLAMMABLE CLOTHING AND FOOTWEAR AGAINST HEAT
AND FLAMMES MUST BE CARRIED AT WORK. The welder should be dressed in a work suit made
of non-combustible fibbers during welding. The dress should be dry, clean, not too loose and without
cut-outs or pockets. Shoes should be closed, high. The use of non-flammable gloves, a hat, a
protective mask, and a leather apron is mandatory. Low shoes, self-made fibber dresses and short
gloves are not suitable for welding.
ALWAYS WARE A WELDING MASK WITH APPROPRIATE EYE PROTECTION WHEN WELDING.
Sparks can cause blindness during welding, so always wear protection under the welding mask.
BE CAREFUL OF HOT METAL PARTS, ESPECIALLY WHEN WELDING OVER YOUR HEAD.
Always wear head, arm, leg, and body protection.
MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FIRE EXTINGUISHER ALWAYS AT YOUR HAND.
DO NOT SKIP THE MACHINE OPERATING CYCLE. The estimated cycle of the welding machine is a
percentage of ten minutes, with this in mind the machine can operate safely in terms of output power.
PREVENT CHILDREN, ANIMALS AND THIRD PARTIES FROM ACCESSING THE WORK AREA.
When storing equipment, make sure it is out of the reach of children.
PROTECT YOURSELF AGAINST ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not work when you are tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or other illicit substances. Do not allow the body to come into contact with
grounded surfaces.
SPECIAL WARNINGS:
Welding is not allowed in rooms with flammable and explosive materials,
it is not allowed to weld in / on containers where there were gases, oils, paints…,
more demanding welds should be welded only by certified welders,
persons with a pacemaker should consult a doctor before welding.

Before welding, always make sure that all regulations and instructions for safe work are met.
When welding by MIG / MAG process, the noise can be higher than 85db (A), so the worker must
wear non-flammable earmuffs during welding.
Welding produces strong UV rays that can burn uncovered parts of the body.
The protective glass on the mask should be numbered 9-15 according to DIN 4647.
Do not look into the electric arc during welding, as there is a risk of instantaneous glare.
Only weld when there is another person nearby who can give you first aid in case of injury.
PEOPLE IN THE VICINITY MUST FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS ABOVE!
In the rooms where we weld, it must be sufficiently airy, suction is desirable. Ventilation device to
protect against particles must be available during welding. Toxic gases are formed especially when we
weld material that is galvanically coated with other metals or materials with detergent residues. Do not
weld closed containers containing flammable liquids (petrol, oil, varnishes…) as there is a high risk of
explosion!
FIRE HAZARD
Follow these instructions:
Remove combustible materials within 5m of the welding site
Cover openings, cracks, and other objects that can trap sparks
Keep fire extinguishers nearby
After welding, inspect the welding area again
Do not weld on containers with flammable liquids
Shielding gas cylinders must be protected against mechanical damage and excessive heat (max. 50 C).
cylinders must also be protected from frost.
DANGERS OF ELECTRIC CURRENT
The device can only be connected to the mains with a shielded connection cable. The fuse must be of
the same power as specified in the technical data of the device. The fuse design must be slow.
Replace damaged torch parts, cable ground, or damaged mains connector immediately. Replacement
of parts on the network, replacement of the connecting cable can only be performed by an authorized
person. Never hold the burner under your arm or otherwise wrapped around your body. In the event of
prolonged work interruptions, switch off the appliance and close the shielding gas supply.
In the event of an accident, immediately pull out the plug of the connecting cable!

PURPOSE AND USE
The IPOTOOLS MIG160ER is a welding machine with two welding functions. You can use it for MMA
and MIG / MAG welding. Any other use may endanger the safety of the welder or cause the device to
malfunction! Use of the device in violation of these operating instructions is not permitted! Damage to
the device resulting from improper use is not covered by the warranty statement. The machine can be
used to weld several materials, such as steel and stainless steel. The welding current is stable and
stepless adjustable. The appliance provides a beautiful weld, and the welding itself takes place quietly
and without spattering. The device is small in size, light and thus easy to transport.

WELDING WIRE INSTALATION
- Open the door on the side of the device, move the star knob towards you and lift the lid of the clamping
system.
- Make sure that, depending on the welding wire diameter, the appropriate wire feed roller (e.g. 0.8mm,
1,0mm, etc.) is in the wire feed system (the wire feed roller side with the correct mm specification must
point towards the wire feed).
- Unscrew the screw of the wire locating pin, place the corresponding welding wire on the wire locating
pin and retighten the screw (The welding wire must be positioned so that it enters the wire feeder from
its lower part.)

- Guide the welding wire into the right opening of the wire feeder, over the wire feed roller into the left
opening of the wire feeder.
- Close the cover of the clamping system and move the star grip away from you so that the cover is
locked. Adjust the tensioner with the star grip (e.g., with 0,9 mm wire to 3.5). Do not turn the tensioner
past value 5!
- The next step is to turn on the unit, make sure the torch cord is straight and remove the nozzle and
nozzle assembly from the gun.
- You can then pull the wire to the torch nozzle either with the button on the torch or with the “Fast Wire
Drive” button. After the wire comes out of the gun, reattach the nozzle and nozzle assembly to the gun.
CONNECTION & SETTINGS
