Basic Welding

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of

this manual including all text under subheadings therein before welding.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:

Protective gear must be worn when using the

Welder; minimum shade number 10 full face shield

(or welding mask), ear protection, welding gloves,

sleeves and apron, NIOSH-approved respirator, and

fire resistant work clothes without pockets should

be worn when welding.

Light from the arc can cause permanent damage to

the eyes and skin.

Do not breathe arc fumes.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY,

FIRE AND BURNS:

Keep welding tip clear of grounded

objects whenever unit is plugged in.

The Flux Wire Welder is used to weld sheet metal

and low carbon steel. Good welding takes a degree

of skill and experience. Practice a few sample

welds on scrap before welding your first project.

Additional practice periods are recommended whenever

you weld a different thickness of material or weld a

different type of connection.

Make practice welds on pieces of scrap to practice

technique before welding anything of value.
