Clarke 150TE Instructions

[mr2jon]

I've just obtained a Clarke 150TE but unfortunately I haven't got the instruction manual that goes with it. In case you hadn't guessed I'm a complete novice with MIG so haven't got a clue how to set it up. I've got the basics pretty well sussed (Thank you Haynes!), it's more the specifics of this machine. Can anyone help or point me towards a likely source? Thanks

I can do one for the Clarke 155T which is much the same but the previous generation. The manual isn't a lot of use, but is probably worth a read if you have a fast internet connection (it's 5Mb) http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/images/clarke-155Tand170Tb.pdf

I'm sure I put a guide to initial settings up somewhere too. I'll have a look for it.

Clarke have really improved their manuals since the early '90s. The 150TE manual looks very informataive. Well found.

I got that by emailing Clarke and asking for it after losing my original manual. It is much more use than the original, but still doesn't give any clues about gas regulator settings.

Wow! That was going to be my next question. Strange isn't it that the regulator knob has a scale on it but there's no reference to how to set it correctly? Did you ever manage to find anything out about it (despite Clarkes' lack of info)?

Yes, I contacted Clarke via their technical support website. They phoned me back, my wife took the message, it amounted to "turn the regulator until you can hear the gas coming out"
