Hello 117-051 3Z913E Dayton 90/110 amp phase-control MIG welder "need help"

[Hugopmlpz]

I have a 117-051 3Z913E Dayton 90/110 amp phase-control MIG welder
I have never welde before and I dont have the owners manual for the welding machine
I friend tried to show me but he said that it doesn't melt the wire enough to weld.
hope someone can help thank you

What size wire do you have loaded? Looking at the diagram there is no sign of a rectifier (diode assembly) so could it be one of those rare AC migs? The few that have posted questions on them have not reported them very good. It might be that with the infinate voltage setting it may be using electronics to produce the DC voltage for welding.

Moved to the correct section.

There must be DC coming from somewhere as a reactor (choke) is shown in the diagram, and it mentions a polarity jumper cable.

Good point
Still surprising it's not shown.
