hi,this welder was approx $ 230 two years ago.I Bought this unit just as a starting point to do small jobs around the house nothing too serious as it is only on a 10 amp plug.Anyway i did not receive a manual with this product,and after chasing this up with the ebay seller's they did not help me out in any way. I presumed that this welder was factory set for gasless welding so i started welding and it was not so bad for a beginner anyway. I have also wanted to try welding mild steel using a shielding gas,and again no help from the seller.On other mig welders it is a simple process to swap over the priority [negative and positive terminals] [torch positive clamp on negative] i am confused on what to do when i open up the box,as i do not want to get electricuted.
I would appreciate some help on doing this the correct way,i know it maybe just a cheap welder to most here but i am desperate to get it going before i throw it through the window. And also is 75/25 argon and c02 the correct gas for mild steel. I will a photo up if it allows me to. All i can see inside the box is 2 black wires with 8mm nuts i am confused as i do not know if this is what i am supposed to swap around or not.

I Will appreciate any help at all. My first project was fishing rod holders and small gadgets,and next hopefully an electric scooter.
