just bought this little lot, im going to be using it for welding 1.5mm 304 stainless steel exhaust pipe.
ive come accross a few problems, assembling the machine, firstly the 2 pin plug (see pic) if i use a 2-3 pin adaptor will this be ok?
secondly, the earth point on the back of the machine (see picture) what do i earth it to, and with what, it didnt come with a wire for that!?
thirdly, assembling the torch, you can see all the parts supplied, ive got as far as putting the tungsten in the collet, and the collet in its holder, then screwing the collet holder into the torch and the "tail" type piece that covers the back of the tungsten, but the next bit is what gets me, the pink things (ceramic?) 5,6,7 numbers on them, i assume the pink thing goes over the collet holder, but only one of them is big enough to go over the holder, and the white piece that i assume holds it to the torch isnt big enough to fir over the pink thing?
am i missing something?
also, basic setting on this machine for welding 1.5mm s/s pipe and also 3mm flat bar
help muchly appreciated...
