Hi,New to the forum and to MIG welding. Bought the above from a garage sale but it has no instruction book. There is no gas with it but is able to work without by altering the posative\negative setting, guess having gas would be better though. It is fitted with a spool that contains 'silver' wire and there is a spare reel with 'copper' wire. From the controls on the front There is the on\off and the wire speed control knob, there are two other switches min\max and 1\2 which I presume are power controls.Has anyone got any information on these ? what type of gas - wire id best to use, would appreciate any helpThanks

Reply:"copper" will be solid steel wire, with a thin copper plate to prevent rust, needs co2 or argon gas,,,, well,,,, if you want the weld to hold. The silver, is aluminum or flux core, -if it is magnetic and breaks when you bend it it is flux core, -if non magnetic it is aluminum and needs argon gas. You are right, you have reverse the polarity for flux core. -it should have instructions under the lid. Nice looking machine. Did a little looking, they were real popular in Australia, and Canada. Deca is Made in Italy, ryobi marketed it in the US. They have a fairly good selection of machines, up to 200 amps.
Reply:You are correct, the 1or 2 , and min max are the power settings, play with them a little, it will have 4 heats available, they set the voltage - it could be measured by a volt meter, should be somewhere between 15 and 24 volts . the amps are set by the wire speed, that is the knob. The manual for the lincoln econotig should be real close.... I have one of those. This is a 240 volt machine, nice, 25% duty cycle, weld 3 minutes wait 7minutes to let it cool, just normal weld, fit grind. , normal light work it should be great. a roll of flux core or $35 regulator from harbor freight and a co2 bottle would get you right up to speed.
Reply:Cheers Wes,The 'silver' wire is magnetic and it does snap so I guess I can use without gas. Going to go find some steel and have a play....Thanks for the info..
Reply:Oh...paid $230 New Zealand Dollars for it. I thought that was a reasonable buy, with two masks and a couple of spare bits..
Reply:Here's a link to the manufacturer, don't see any manuals, but there is a contact form there:http://www.decaweld.com

Reply:Hello,I have a 150e model (also a NZ'er), Got a pdf copy of the manual from the distribution company as my manual started getting tatty from age (and bootmarks started obscuring some of the print). The manual covers the 100e, 135e and 150e models. I can send via email or post a copy if there is an area for manuals? I'm a novice welder and new to this forum so still searching around for how it all works. regards
Reply:Just had a look at the max file size attachment for pdf's and appears to be 150kb, the pdf manual is 750kb so don't think I can attach to a post.

Reply:would like a wiring diagram for 135E
Reply:Sorry to resurrect an old thread but I too have recently acquired a Decaster 135e and would appreciate a manual. The ones I have found online don't match my three switch model. |
