- For Stick welding, connect the Electronic Holder to the positive terminal and the Ground Clamp għat-terminal negattiv.
- For Lift TIG welding, connect the TIG torch (sold separately) to the appropriate terminal and the Ground Clamp għat-terminal negattiv.
4.3 Installing Flux-Cored Wire (for MIG Gasless):
The welder features a stable and smooth wire feed structure.
- Iftaħ il-kompartiment tal-alimentazzjoni tal-wajer.
- Poġġi r-rukkell tal-wajer bil-qalba tal-fluss ta' 0.5kg fuq l-ispindle.
- Thread the wire through the wire pressing wheel and into the automatic wire feed mechanism.
- Ensure the wire feeding wheel is correctly sized for the 0.8mm flux-cored wire. The welder supports 0.030" (0.8mm), 0.035" (0.9mm), and 0.040" (1.0mm) flux core wire sizes.

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi
The FLARING FM155 offers three welding modes: Gasless MIG, Stick (MMA), and Lift TIG. Select the appropriate mode using the controls on the large LED digital panel.

Figure 5.1: Visual representation of the three welding modes: MMA/Stick, Flux Cored Wire (MIG), and Lift TIG.
5.1 Gasless MIG Welding:
This mode is ideal for welding stainless steel, carbon steel, and thicker steel without the need for external shielding gas, using flux-cored wire.
- Ensure flux-cored wire is correctly installed (refer to Section 4.3).
- Select "MIG Gasless" mode on the control panel.
- Aġġusta l-kurrent u l-volumtage settings as required for your material thickness. The machine provides clear digital readouts.
- Ibda l-iwweldjar, filwaqt li żżomm veloċità tal-ivvjaġġar u tul tal-ark konsistenti.

5.2 Stick (MMA) Welding:
For stick welding, ensure the electronic holder and ground clamp are connected as described in Section 4.2.
- Insert the appropriate electrode into the electronic holder.
- Select "Stick/MMA/ARC" mode on the control panel.
- Adjust the current (amperage) according to the electrode type and material thickness.
- Strike an arc and maintain a consistent arc length and travel speed for optimal results.
