Portasol 012680040 820 Watt Gas Torch

Product Information

The main conductor and switch wire should be added the the stem of the euro connector with the supplied nuts and these adjusted to suit the way you are mounting the connector. Fit the connector's plastic housing to the front of the machine ensuring the wire freed tube is in alignment with the mechanism.

Fit the connector to the housing and the wire feed tube should be clamped down with the old plastic clamp that has been modified earlier.Cut out hole.the hole will need to be larger then the brass body, so there is a gap to insulate it from the case.

The Snap-on Pro-Mig 160 is a rebadged Cebora AS160 and so is quite a reasonable machine and it does have a gas solenoid valve. A Euroadaptor can be fitted but avoid the 'universal' adaptors - we have done a fair few conversions on this type of machine and always make up an adaptor specific to each machine as required. Assuming all is well run the wire up the torch and start welding. you may need to adjust the positioning of the torch assy to ensure correct alignment and also make sure that there is not too much tension of the feed rollers and the end of the connector feed tube is not to far away or you will get the wite birdsnesting on you.You will need to remove the cover that holds the wire liner. this will hold the end of the wire feed tube of the connector and will need to be modified so that the tube is in the correct place. this will need either cutting out or use a dremmel to remove enough plastic so that the tube fits snugly in the correct place. you will need to remove the old torch. you will be left with the Main current feed wire and the switch feed wire left. connect the two hoses. the arrow will point towards connector and torch and indicates flow direction. the regulator feed hose connects to the input side.
