SECTION 1- SAFETY CAUTIONS & SYMBOLS CAUTION: READ USER MANUAL Indicates any section that the user must read the manual to fully understand the machine’s characteristics to avoid any hazardous situation. ELECTRIC SHOCK Touching live electrical parts can cause fatal shocks or severe burns. The electrode and work circuit is electrically live whenever the output is on.

WELDING FUMES Welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing these fumes and gases can be hazardous to your health. Keep your head out of the fumes stream while welding. Do not breathe the fumes. If inside, ventilate the area and/or use local forced ventilation at the welding point to remove welding fumes and gases.
Page 7
GASES Dangerous gases can be produced during welding, breathing these gases in can be hazardous to your health. Shut off shielding gas supply when not in use. Always ventilate confined spaces or use approved air-supplied respirator. Do not weld in locations near degreasing, cleaning, or spraying operations. The heat and rays of the arc can react with vapors to form highly toxic and irritating gases.

ESD- ELECTRIC STATIC DISCHARGE An electric static charge can be created during welding and discharged immediately after into any items touched by the welder after welding. Put on grounded wrist strap BEFORE handling boards or parts. Use proper static-proof bags and boxes to store, move, or ship PC boards. MOVING PARTS A number of moving parts may be in typical welding machines such as rollers and fans.

SECTION 2- INSTALLATION and OVERVIEW INSTALLATION ELECTRICAL The serial number and rating information is located on the bottom of the machine. Use the rating labels to determine input power requirements and rated output. Check whether the voltage value variations are within the acceptable working range with a multi-meter. ...

OVERVIEW PRODUCT & DESIGN Our unique electric structure and air channeling design in this series of welding machines are designed to increase the heat dissipation of the power device improving the duty cycle of the machine. The unique heat dissipation design leads to less damage done to the power source and control circuits from overheating due to dust build up from air inducted by fan.
SECTION 3- OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT OPERATION After being installed according to the prescribed method, switch the power to on (rear panel) and the POWER LED will light and the fan will turn on. Using the rocker switch on the front panel choose the welding process desired (MIg or Stick). ...

SECTION 4- MAINTENANCE & BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING MAINTENANCE Please disconnect power to machine before performing maintenance. Check periodically whether cable connection is in good condition (esp. plugs). Tighten any loose connections. If there is oxidization, remove it with sandpaper and then reconnect. ...
BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Causes Remedy There is output current when pulling the torch The wire feeder is clogged. Unclog it. trigger, gas feeding but there is no wire feeding out. The wire feeder has failed. Repair / replace it. The control PCB or wire feeding Replace it.
STATEMENT OF LIMITED WARRANTY: Canaweld Inc. warrants to the end user (purchaser) of all new welding and cutting equipment, and accessories (the “Warranted Goods”) that such Warranted Goods will be free of defects in workmanship and material. This warranty is void if Canaweld Inc.
