Awelco UniMig 250

After the demise of my Esab Miggy 125 feed motor, and no luck getting a new, I got hold of a firsthand ? Awelco Unimig 250.

I can't find out if it is a firsthand or secondhand model as the original 5 kg spool still was in the machine, and there still is 75 bar in the bottle. I almost stole it, as it is listed at ~€775, and I just paid €400

The only problem is that the owner does not have the manual for it, and I have only found 1 setting, the highest, that works, but boy how it works. 2 pieces of 10mm steel butwelded on one side only, and even of I use the 1kg hammer, it don't budge or open.

Now I am franticly searching for a manual for it, so that I can use what features it have.

Go to the manufacturers website, often they have a documents or similar section where they archive old manuals for machines, or see if they will E-mail you a copy.

After a month's waiting I finally got my manual, and an appology from Sweden about the long response time.

They were courious how it ended in Denmark, and I told them. As curtesy o the wait, and so on, they have send me the drivewheel for 0.6+1.2mm wire free of charge.

The welder have now paid it self in a crazy way, I have used it 2 times in the compagny, one time after a storm where one of our scaffolds collapsed, hanging over a bussy street, I mounted the welder in the crane on my truck, hoisted it up, and welded the different parts of the broken scaffold into a solid peace, 20 meters above ground, so that we could cut it down in controlled sizes.

Another time was when the rearframe of one of our lorries broke, that job was not fun, sitting under a broken bed, hanging on the forklift in one end, and the renome at the other, and the bed was full of scaffold.
