Features of 160 MIG Welder:
- Easy to adjust – Simply use the voltage (15-22V) and wire feed speed (3-10 MTR / Min) knobs to adjust your welding parameters. There is even a chart on the machine which helps out with what should go where depending on the thickness of the material you’re welding!
- Euro Connection – The majority of the Easy MIG range offers a euro connecting torch which makes for easy serviceability and replacement of the torch.
- 1KG (100MM) & 5KG (200MM) wire reel capacity
- Digital Display – The digital display on the Easy MIG 160 shows your voltage and current
- Manually adjustable arc dynamic
- Multi Process – Not just a MIG machine! The Easy MIG range offers MIG, MAG, MMA & Scratch TIG process’
- MMA – The Easy MIG 160 can run up to a 3.2MM electrode which allows for welding of around 10MM steel!
Torch:

How to use guide on 160 MIG welder:
Here is a complete guide on using GYS Easy MIG 160 MIG Welder:
- Using a 160 MIG welder involves several key steps to ensure safety and effectiveness. First, familiarize yourself with the welder by reading the manual to understand its features and safety precautions.
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including a welding helmet, gloves, a long-sleeve shirt, and safety boots.
- To set up the welder, connect it to a suitable power source and attach the gas cylinder, typically an Argon/CO2 mix, setting the flow rate to 20-25 CFH.
- Install the wire spool and thread the wire through the drive roll into the welding gun.
- Adjust the welder’s settings by setting the voltage and wire feed speed according to the thickness of the material you’re welding and ensuring the polarity is set to DCEP (Direct Current Electrode Positive).
- Prepare the workpiece by cleaning it to remove any rust, paint, or contaminants and securing it with clamps.
- Attach the ground clamp to a clean, unpainted part of the workpiece to ensure a good electrical connection. When welding, hold the gun at a 10-15 degree angle close to the joint and pull the trigger to start the arc, moving the gun steadily along the joint to create a smooth, even weld bead.
- After welding, release the trigger to stop the wire feed and arc, allowing the weld to cool naturally before inspecting it for quality.
- Finally, turn off the welder and close the gas cylinder valve, storing all equipment safely.
- Regular maintenance is important; clean the welding gun nozzle and check for wear on consumables and gas hoses to ensure the welder remains in good working condition.
