ASSEMBLE THE FACE SHIELD
1. Insert the upper tongue of the handle into
the upper slot on the face shield.
2. Align the second tab on the handle with the
second slot in the face shield by pushing the
bottom of the handle in towards the face
mask, while at the same time pushing
upwards. (Alignment of the second tab is
made easier by applying pressure to the
point shown below.)
3. Once the handle tabs are properly seated in
the face shield slots, install the handle cover
by firmly pushing it into the recessed area on
the face shield.
4. Install the dark glass by sliding it into place
behind the glass retaining tabs.
Note: if your face shield was supplied with a 3" x
3.8" dark glass you may choose to remove the
extra material from the face shield to allow a
larger field of vision when welding. To remove
the extra material, remove the glass from the
face shield and carefully cut the material out of
the face shield with a utility knife.
5. Once protective dark glass has been
installed into face shield, secure it in place
with the retaining clips. Align the holes on
each of the retaining clips with the pins on
the retaining tabs and firmly press into place.

SELECTING THE WELDING WIRE
This welder uses only four inch spools of 0.030
inch (0.8mm) or 0.035 inch (0.9mm) self shield-
ing flux-core wire. Steel from 18 gauge up to
3/16 inch thick can be welded with this wire.
NOTE:
•
Metal thinner than 18 gauge cannot be
welded with this machine. Attempting to do
so will cause burn through (blowing holes)
in the metal you are intending to weld.
•
If a spool has developed heavy oxidation,
the only solution to the problem is to dis-
card the spool of wire.
If you have an oxidized spool of wire, do not
discard it until you have unspooled a few
turns of wire to see if the wire further down
on the spool is in usable condition, if not, –
discard the spool.
INSTALLING THE WELDING WIRE
WARNING
Electric shock can kill! Always turn the
POWER switch OFF and unplug the welder's
power cord from the ac power source before
installing wire.
1. Remove the nozzle and contact tip from
the end of the gun assembly.
2. Remove the spindle cap from spindle.
3. Unwrap the spool of wire and then find
the leading end of the wire (it goes
through a hole in the outer edge of the
spool and is bent over the spool edge to
prevent the wire from unspooling) BUT
DO NOT UNHOOK IT YET.
4. Place the spool on the spindle in such a
