  • Page 7 serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage. The smaller the gauge num ber of the wire, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14 gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. When using more than one exten sion cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.

    ASSEMBLY WARNING: Remove the welder from the carton and examine it carefully. Do not dispose of carton or any packaging material until all parts are examined. WARNING: To avoid injury, always turn the tool off and disconnect the welder from the power outlet before installing.

  • Page 10: Inspection Maintenance And Cleaning

    NOTE: The Inverter Arc Welder is equipped with an automatic “Hot Start”. This feature momentarily surges the current output, which makes starting the electrode easier. Should the electrode stick to the work piece, usually a quick twist of the electrode holder will break the electrode free. If the electrode is not broken loose, shut down the Inverter Arc Welder and physically remove the electrode from the electrode holder and work piece.

  • Page 11: Troubleshooting Guide

    Before each use , inspect the general condition of the Inverter Arc Welder. Check for damaged electrical wiring, loose connections, cracked, burnt, or broken parts, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment.

  • Page 12: Parts List

    Make sure the electrode is in good condition, and that the welding current output is properly adjusted. ( Increasing the current output usually improves this situation.) PARTS LIST WARNING: When servicing, use only original equipment replacement parts. The use of any other parts may create a safety hazard or cause damage to the Inverter Arc Welder.
