Tips anyone new to welding ? My first go with a mig welder

[Mal-F]

I have a Siegen Power Mini mig 130 I have somehow jammed the welding wire in the Feed line can anyone help me by explaining how I get it out or How the Line feed is dismantled and replaced! Thankyou!!

The first thing to do is take all the compression off the feed wheels. Removal of the replaceable grooved wheel will give you more clearance. Now you should be able to draw the welding wire back into the machine by winding the drum backwards. Of course it depends on why the wire is jammed. Has it 'birds nested' just in front of the feed liner? Has the wire fused itself to the welding tip? Are you using the wrong sized groove for the wire diameter? Has the liner broken down and is blocking the feed?

i was given one by a friend question is ??? what settings do i need to put it on

I bought a cheap auto mask from ebay 4 years ago, they are still only around £25 ish, mine is still working well and for the hobby welder they do the task great.

Obviously if you were welding for a living and wearing a mask for hours a day then something more expensive would be better.
