Gun Cable:
The welding Gun connects here. The wire and welding
current feeds to the weld through here.
The welding Gun is energized whenever
the Power Switch is on.
Wire Speed Dial:
This controls the speed that the welding wire feeds out
of the welding Gun.
Adjust this according to the weld settings chart
to achieve a good weld. (See next page.)
Ground Cable:
This connects to the base metal to provide a good
connection for the current to travel back to the Welder.
Overload Indicator:
This lights up if duty cycle work period is exceeded
and the Welder is overheated. Rest the Gun
on an electrically non-conductive, heat-resistant
surface, such as a concrete slab, well clear of the
ground clamp while allowing the Welder to cool
with the Power Switch on, so the Fan can help
cool the Welder. Once the Welder cools enough
to be used again, use shorter welding periods and
longer rest periods to prevent needless wear.
Current Switch:
This controls the output amperage of the Welder.
Adjust this according to the weld settings
chart to achieve a good weld.
Power Switch:
This turns on power to the Welding Gun
and internal cooling fan.
Power Cord:
Plug the Power Cord into a properly grounded
120 V~ outlet, on at least a 20 amp dedicated circuit
with delayed action type circuit breaker or fuses.
