SELECT SUITABLE LOCATION Locate the welder in a dry location where there is free circulation of clean air into the louvers in the back and out the front of the unit. A location that minimizes the amount of smoke and dirt drawn into the rear louvers reduces the chance of dirt accumulation that can block air passages and cause overheating.
Work Cable Installation Refer to Figure A.2. 1. Open the wire feed section door on the right side of the PRO 100. 2. Pass the end of the work cable that has the termi- nal lug with the smaller hole through the Work Cable Access Hole (1) in the case front.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PRO 100 is a compact lightweight DC wire feed- er/power source. It has been designed for workshop, hobby, and light maintenance. It is capable of general purpose welding with self-shielded flux-cored (Inner- shield ® ) wire. When combined with the optional K610- 1 MIG Conversion Kit, the PRO 100 is suitable for GMAW (MIG) welding applications.
FIGURE B.1a DO NOT SWITCH WHEN WELDING PRO 100 FIGURE B.1b WELDING OPERATIONS SEQUENCE OF OPERATION Wire Loading Refer to Figure B.2 AND B3. The machine power switch should be turned to the OFF (“O”) position before working inside the wire feed enclosure.
