SETTING UP THE WELD
WARNING!
Before welding, make sure to read and understand all safety
precautions and warnings discussed on pages 3 through 10.
1. Power Switch (4D): Always make sure the Power Switch is in its “OFF” position
before plugging the Welder into a 220 volt, grounded, electrical outlet.
(See Figure P.)
2. Overload Protector (7D): If too much current is drawn from the Welder, the Overload
Protector will activate. The RED Overload Indicator will illuminate. And the Welder
will automatically turn off until it cools down. If this happens, turn the Power Switch
(4D) to its “OFF” position and wait approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
(See Figure P.)
3. Wire Feed Speed Knob (3D): The Scale surrounding the Knob is relative value,
not wire feed speed. Adjust the Wire Feed Speed Knob based on thickness of the
metal being welded. (See Figure P below, and Figure S, page 21.)
4. Voltage Selector Knob (2D): The Scale surrounding the Knob is relative value,
not voltage. Adjust the Voltage Selector Knob based on thickness of metal being
welded. (See Figure P below, and Figure S, page 21.)
5. If using solid-core wire, connect and secure an Argon/ CO2 gas hose to the rear of
the Welder. (If using flux core wire, protective gas is not required.) (See Figure M.)
6. Securely clamp the Ground Cable Clamp (11D) as close as possible to the metal
object to be welded, or to the metal workbench where the object is mounted and
electrically connected. (See Figure L.)
7. NOTE: The workpieces should be firmly held together and in position while welding.
Use clamps (not included) to hold the workpieces so you can concentrate on the job
