[00:00:00.000]Okay, this is machine number
[00:00:01.500]two that we're going to use for
[00:00:02.550]the MIG welding contest in the
[00:00:04.080]FFA.
[00:00:04.400]This is a Miller XMT, similar
[00:00:07.760]to the ESOB.
[00:00:09.440]We've got two main dials that
[00:00:11.040]we're going to deal with.
[00:00:12.640]This is the voltage dial.
[00:00:14.240]This is the wire feed speed.
[00:00:16.380]This is not a digital machine.
[00:00:18.200]It doesn't have numbers up here,
[00:00:19.920]so you're going to have to go
[00:00:20.810]by feel.
[00:00:21.200]The range, probably, again, is
[00:00:23.320]going to be two to four on the
[00:00:25.020]voltage.
[00:00:25.840]Wire feed speed, again,
[00:00:27.320]probably two to four, somewhere
[00:00:29.200]in there.
[00:00:30.540]Okay, you can set that on your
[00:00:31.730]practice piece.
[00:00:32.940]Down here, here's the on button.
[00:00:34.770]going to be two to four.
[00:00:36.980]We do have the digital. I'm
[00:00:38.340]sorry, we do have it on here.
[00:00:39.920]On the other one, it was on the
[00:00:40.770]wire feeder.
[00:00:41.280]The voltage, again, probably
[00:00:43.520]the same range, 17 to 18.
[00:00:46.160]This knob says panel and remote.
[00:00:50.640]If it's on remote, we use these
[00:00:52.890]two dials.
[00:00:53.960]If I push that down, somewhere,
[00:00:58.580]again,
[00:00:59.780]between the two dials, it's
[00:00:59.980]Okay, so we're going to set
[00:00:59.980]that on your practice piece.
[00:00:59.980]Down here, here's the on button.
[00:00:59.980]Between 17 and 18 volts, wire
[00:01:03.000]feeder's going to be up here.
[00:01:04.980]It won't show anything until we're
[00:01:06.740]running, running a bead.
[00:01:08.280]So, you won't know what that
[00:01:10.120]reads.
[00:01:10.760]You'll have to go by sound.
[00:01:12.200]We need a nice, crisp, bacon-frying
[00:01:14.620]sound for MIG load.
[00:01:16.080]Okay, MIG, this knob will need
[00:01:19.240]to be on MIG.
[00:01:20.760]We'll put it there originally
[00:01:22.950]and won't move it if we don't
[00:01:24.930]have to.
[00:01:25.860]This is the inductance control.
[00:01:27.400]Again, probably leave that at
[00:01:28.900]50.
[00:01:29.960]If you want a little more
[00:01:30.700]inductance, it'll wet the bead
[00:01:32.000]out a little bit more.
[00:01:32.680]Turn it up to 70.
[00:01:33.700]Somewhere between 50 and 70.
[00:01:36.380]Okay, we don't need to do
[00:01:38.160]anything with this dial.
[00:01:40.180]If it's on panel, we use this
[00:01:42.140]one.
[00:01:42.720]If it's on remote, we use both
[00:01:44.510]of these up here.
[00:01:45.760]Wire feed speed is right here.
[00:01:48.100]Pushing up, that'll feed the
[00:01:49.990]wire.
[00:01:50.560]Shielding gas, again, make sure
[00:01:53.940]the valve is with the pipe and
[00:01:56.640]adjust it there.
[00:01:57.720]We will preset those.
[00:01:59.940]You could always check it just
[00:02:01.410]in case somebody changes it,
[00:02:02.940]okay?
[00:02:04.140]You don't need to shut it off.
[00:02:05.720]We'll take care of that.
[00:02:06.820]So check your shielding gas,
[00:02:09.920]this button again.
[00:02:10.840]Wire feed is up, shielding gas,
[00:02:12.970]check, is down, or purge, okay?
[00:02:16.940]This gun's a little bit
[00:02:18.080]different.
[00:02:18.840]There's no adjustment here on
[00:02:21.840]the nozzle.
[00:02:23.320]There's the trigger.
[00:02:25.420]Hold the trigger.
[00:02:26.140]Okay, one more thing.
[00:02:29.480]Just a quick one.
[00:02:29.920]Just a quick check thing.
[00:02:30.300]And these won't be changed
[00:02:31.340]either.
[00:02:31.840]We're running reverse polarity.
[00:02:33.320]The electrode is in the
[00:02:34.650]positive, the ground is in the
[00:02:36.470]negative.
[00:02:37.300]So you might double check that
[00:02:38.990]just in case somebody decides
[00:02:40.690]to change that.
[00:02:41.780]Okay?
[00:02:42.940]That's it.
