The following steps require applying power
to the welder with the cover open.
To prevent serious injury from fire or electric shock:

with the Torch or welding wire, or an arc may be ignited.
2. Do not touch internal welder components
while it is plugged in.
15. Do not touch the Torch’s Trigger.
Plug the Power Cord into its electrical
outlet and turn the welder ON.
16. Point the Torch away from all objects and press the
trigger until the wire feeds through two inches.
The wire liner may come out with
the welding wire, this is normal,
just push the wire liner back into the Torch.
If the wire does not feed properly and the Spool is
stationary, turn the welder OFF, unplug it, and slightly
tighten the feed tensioner clockwise before retrying.
