d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained
Welding Safety
• Welding produces toxic fumes, and can reduce oxygen levels in the work area.
Always work in a well ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding fumes; use a
suitable respirator where appropriate
• Some metal parts may have galvanised, lead, cadmium, or other coatings.
Attempting to weld through these coatings can produce highly toxic fumes.
Always remove all coatings before welding
• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat, or eyes whilst welding, STOP
IMMEDIATELY and seek fresh air
• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye damage
ALWAYS wear an approved welding face mask. Under no circumstances look
directly at the arc
• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect suitable
screening to protect them from the light or glare
• To prevent skin damage ALWAYS wear a suitable fire proof long sleeve jacket,
heat proof gloves, and cap. Keep covered up
• Always remove any flammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches) from
your clothing before welding
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when welding. Sparks and accidental
contacts can cause fires
• Only weld when all work pieces, and work area are dry
• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums). The heat
generated from welding can cause sealed containers to burst without warning.
• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from the work
area, and cause ignition of flammable materials
• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining. Allow to
cool fully before handling, or leaving unattended
• Never weld in the presence of flammable gasses, liquids, or dust
• Always ensure that you have a responsible person nearby to alert you to any
fire, or to call help in an emergency
• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic fields. This may disturb
the operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker wearers should
consult a doctor before using a welding machine.
• Do not overload power supply. Check that your mains wiring is capable of
delivering the required currents safely
Wire feed
• The tip of welding wire can be very sharp, and is fed with adequate force to
puncture skin
• Keep the welding machine switched off until you are ready to begin welding.
• Never point the torch towards people or animals

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool
Assembly
Connecting to a power supply
Important: This welder is not supplied with a mains electrical plug
• At full capacity it will draw far too much power for a normal mains plug and
socket
• This machine must be connected by a qualified person to a suitable power
supply capable of handling the current
• Please refer to the Specification for details of this welder’s input capacity.
• If in any doubt, do not attempt to connect or use this welder
Assembling the mask
1. Carefully slot the handle into the fixing slots on the mask. Ensure both
nibs engage for a secure fit
2. Remove protective wrapping from the visor and slot the visor into
place. Take care not to scratch the visor, and ensure the visor engages
fully with the clips so that it fully covers the viewing panel and cannot
be dislodged
Installing wire
1. Open the Access Cover (4) on the top of the machine
2. Carefully remove the spool locking knob, spring and washer
3. Slide the reel of welding wire (supplied) onto the spool spindle,
positioning so that the wire will feed off of the top of the spool into
the drive rollers
4. Replace the washer, spring and spool locking knob, and tighten.
Tighten so that the reel of wire doesn’t unravel under its own spring
tension and resistance is felt when the spool is rotated
5. Raise the roller clamp knob so that the guide roller can be swung clear
6. Carefully release the end of the wire from the spool, take care not
to let the wire unravel. Ensure that the wire tip is straight, and is cut
off cleanly
7. Slowly feed the wire into the torch liner
8. Swing the guide roller back into position, ensuring that the wire is
centred in the grooves of the guide and drive rollers
9. Lower the drive roller clamp knob so that the guide roller is secured,
and tighten gently
10. Close the Access Cover (4)
11. Pull the Shroud (1) from the torch and unscrew the tip
12. Connect the machine to the mains power supply, switch on, and hold
the torch
13. Move the torch away from the machine, so that the torch cable is
straight
14. Ensure that the torch is not touching anything, and squeeze the Trigger
(2). The machine should drive the wire through to the torch
