1.2 product introduction

MinarcMig Evo 170 and 200 are easy-to-use MIG/MAG welding machines suitable for

professional industry, site and repair welding. Before use or doing any maintenance work on

the machine, read the operating manual and keep it for further reference.
MinarcMig Evo tolerates input voltage fluctuation and is suitable for work on sites using

power generators and use with long power cables. The power source utilises PFC technology,

ensuring optimum usage on single phase power supplies. The IGBT inverter design delivers

reliable arc ignition and welding performance, with all filler wire types.
Welding and earth return cables are supplied in the delivery package, including gun, earth

clamp and connections.

1.2.1 properties

The welding machine is small, efficient and light. It is easy to carry with the handle or shoulder

strap. It is suitable for a wide range of welding applications, and the possibility to use long

power extension cables makes it easy to use in worksite conditions. It is also suitable for use

with power generators.
The MinarcMig Evo 170 is set manually, with separate control for wire feed speed and voltage.

MinarcMig Evo 200 machine has both an automatic and manual operation mode. In the

automatic mode, you must first select the filler wire material after which the welding voltage

and wire feed speed can be adjusted with one control knob, according to the thickness of

the sheet to be welded. Thus, selecting the right parameters is easy. In automatic mode, the

length of the arc, or welding heat, is trimmed with another control. In manual mode, the

welding voltage and wire feed speed are adjusted separately with their own controls. The

use of the machine is aided with an LCD display which indicates the welding current, welding

voltage and wire feed speed.
