3 INTRODUCTION

The ESABMig C420 is step–controlled compact welding power unit incorporating wire feed

mechanism intended for MIG/MAG welding with solid wires of steel, stainless steel or aluminium, and

cored wires with or without shielding gas. The ESABMig C420 is not equipped with cooling system

and can operate only with appropriate gas cooled torches.

The ESABMig C420 is equipped with standard control unit (manual setting of all welding parameters)

and digital instrument (incorporating ”display–hold” function) for displaying of current and voltage.

Machines are fan–cooled and equipped with thermal overload protection.

ESAB’s accessories for the product can be found on page 38.
