-211-
MP electrode.
● Accommodates 4 ” (100 mm) diameter spool of
wire. Will accommodate 8 ” (200 mm) diameter with
optional spindle.
WELDING CAPABILITY
The PRO 100 is rated at 88 amps, 18 volts, at 20%
duty cycle on a ten minute basis. CSA rated output at
62 amps at 20 volts at 20% duty cycle. It is capable of
higher output currents at lower duty cycles.
LIMITATIONS
Arc Gouging cannot be performed with the PRO 100.
The PRO 100 is not recommended for pipe thawing or
TIG welding.
CONTROLS AND SETTINGS
Refer to Figure B.1a.
1. Power ON/OFF Switch —
When the power is on the
fan motor will run and air will
be exhausted out the louvers
in the front of the machine.
The welding output and wire
feeder remain off until the
gun trigger is pressed.
2. Wire Speed Control — Con-
trols the wire feed speed
from 50
– 300 in /min (1.3 –
7.6 m/min). The control can
be preset on the dial to the
setting specified on the PRO
100 Application Chart locat-
ed on the inside of the wire
feed section door.
3. Voltage Control — A 4-posi-
tion tap selector switch gives
full range adjustment of
power source output voltage.
Do not switch while welding.
Refer to Figure B-1b.
4. Circuit Breaker – Protects machine from damage if
maximum output is exceeded. Button will extend
out when tripped (Manual reset).
PRO 100
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The PRO 100 is a compact lightweight DC wire feed-
er/power source. It has been designed for workshop,
hobby, and light maintenance. It is capable of general
purpose welding with self-shielded flux-cored (Inner-
shield
®
) wire. When combined with the optional K610-
1 MIG Conversion Kit, the PRO 100 is suitable for
GMAW (MIG) welding applications.
The PRO 100 is ideally suited for individuals having
access to 115 volt AC input power, and wanting the
ease of use, quality and dependability of both the
Innershield electrode process (self shielded flux cored
or FCAW) and gas metal arc welding or GMAW (also
known as MIG welding). The PRO 100 is a rugged
and reliable machine that has been designed for
dependable service and long life.
RECOMMENDED PROCESSES
The PRO 100 can be used for welding mild steel using
the self shielded, Innershield electrode process
(FCAW) or it can be used for the GMAW, single pass,
process which requires a supply of shielding gas and
the K610-1 MIG Conversion Kit. The PRO 100 is con-
figured for use with the FCAW process as delivered
from the factory.
OPERATIONAL FEATURES AND
CONTROLS
The PRO 100 has the following controls as standard:
Power ON/OFF Switch, Voltage Control, Wire Speed
Control, Trigger Switch, and a Circuit Breaker.
DESIGN FEATURES AND
ADVANTAGES
● Operates on 115 volt input — no special wiring
required.
● “ Cold electrode ” until gun trigger is pressed for an
added measure of safety.
● Overload protection — incorporates both a thermo-
stat and a circuit breaker.
● Quality wire drive with electronic overload protec-
tion.
● “ Quick Release ” idle roll pressure arm is easily
adjusted.
● Reversible, dual groove drive roll. Drive roll will
feed .023
– .025 ” (0.6 mm) and .030" and .035"
(0.8 mm and 0.9 mm) diameter wire.
