5. Ntuziaka ọrụ
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.
- Adjust current and voltage settings as required for your material thickness. The machine provides clear digital readouts.

Video 5.3: Example of MIG Gasless welding on 3mm carbon steel using 0.8mm flux core wire. This video demonstrates the welding process on thinner carbon steel.
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.

5.3 Lift TIG Welding:
For Lift TIG welding, an additional Lift TIG torch is required (sold separately). This mode provides precise control for delicate welding tasks.
- Connect the Lift TIG torch and ensure proper tungsten electrode installation.
- Select "Lift TIG" mode on the control panel.
- Adjust current settings.
- Initiate the arc by gently touching the tungsten to the workpiece and lifting slightly.
5.4 Welding Samples:
The FLARING FM155 is capable of welding various materials and shapes, including iron blocks, galvanized pipes, round tubes, chairs, stainless steel, and steel frames.
