AUXILIARY POWER WHILE WELDING
Simultaneous welding and power loads are permitted
by following Table I. The permissible currents shown
assume that current is being drawn from either the
120V or 240V supply (not both at the same time).
Also, the "Output Control" is set at "10" for maximum
auxiliary power.

WARNING
(Connections must be made by a licensed electri-
cian who can determine how the 120/240V power
can be adapted to the particular installation and
comply with all applicable electrical codes.) The
following information can be used as a guide by
the electrician for most applications (refer also to
the connection diagram shown in Figure 1.)
