Be careful to read and follow all cautions and warnings. Protect yourself and others. Welding and cutting processes produce high levels of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can cause severe skin burn and damage.
  • Page 7 SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING! Persons with pacemakers should not weld, cut or be in the welding area until they consult with their physician. Some pacemakers are sensitive to EMF radiation and could severely malfunction while welding or while being in the vicinity of someone welding.

    The unit does not contain a gas solenoid valve to regulate pre-flow or post flow. A regula- tor is still needed to regulate max flow.

    Arc force = Dig = Inductance = Arc response Why doesn’t the PowerARC 300ST come with a power plug? The PowerARC 300ST is both a single phase and three phase machine. This means it can work in home shops and industrial factories with different power supplies. Single phase welders in North America use only three wires for 240V operation with two 120V lines arranged out of phase (measuring 240V between the hot legs and 120V to ground) with a third wire serving as a ground.
