Why do you need a manual for it?
Mig welders are very simple machines, set the power switches and wire feed speed according to whatever thickness steel you're welding and the wire diameter you're using, point and squirt.
Anything else you need to know we can probably tell you so ask away.

It's more for a reference than anything. Now that I think of it, it's not feeding right, I'm assuming that it's just the wrong wire diameter. That didn't dawn on me until I got to work and it's been bugging me all night. If that's not the issue I was thinking about just putting a couple of wraps of electrical tape on the feed wheel. What do you think? is that a bad idea?? Please take it easy on me it's my first MIG.

yes it does have a wire feed control on the front, It's right above the brand name Einhell on the front (sorry my picture is not good). It's an intermittent issue. It has issues with all speeds. The tensioner is controled by a spring and seems to be good and tight.

No, don't tape the feed wheel, that will create more problems.
Most likely you probably just need a new torch liner and contact tip.
Having the tensioner too tight will also create problems, it should be set just tight enough to feed the wire but to allow the rollers to slip if the wire jams in the tip.

I'll pick up a new liner and tip this weekend and give it a shot. Thanks guys!
