1. Make practice welds on pieces of scrap the same
thickness as your intended workpiece to practice
technique before welding anything of value.
Clean the weld surfaces thoroughly with
a wire brush or angle grinder; there must
be no rust, paint, oil, or other materials on
the weld surfaces, only bare metal.
2. Use clamps (not included) to hold the workpieces
in position so that you can concentrate on
proper welding technique. The distance
(if any) between the two workpieces must be
controlled properly to allow the weld to hold
both sides securely while allowing the weld
to penetrate fully into the joint. The edges of
thicker workpieces may need to be chamfered
(or beveled) to allow proper weld penetration.
3. Clamp Ground Cable to bare metal on the
workpiece near the weld area, or to metal work
bench where the workpiece is clamped.
4. Set the Wire Speed Dial and
the Current Switch to the desired settings.
Refer to the chart on the Welder
or the chart on the facing page.
WARNING! DO NOT SWITCH THE
CURRENT WHILE WELDING.
5. Flip the Power Switch to the OFF position, then plug
the Welder into a dedicated, 120 V~, 20 A circuit
with delayed action type circuit breaker or fuses.
6. Hold the Gun, without touching the Trigger, with the
wire and tip clearly away from any grounded objects.
Then, turn the Power Switch to ON.
