cOnnectiOn:
check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. do not modify the power cord plug provided with the tool. never remove the
grounding prong from the plug. do not use the tool if the power cord or plug is damaged. if damaged, have
it repaired by a service facility before use. if the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician.
1. The green wire inside the power cord is
connected to the grounding system in the
welder. The green wire in the power cord
must be the only wire connected to the
welder's grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically "live" terminal.
Never leave the grounding wire disconnected
or modify the Power Cord Plug in any way.

grounded tools:

tools with three prong plugs
Figure a: 3-prong plug and Outlet
1. Tools marked with "Grounding Required" have
a three wire cord and three prong grounding
plug. The plug must be connected to a properly
grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically
malfunction or break down, grounding provides
a low resistance path to carry electricity away
from the user, reducing the risk of electric
shock. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)

extension cords

extension cords should be avoided because of the voltage drop they produce
which can affect the performance of the welder. if an extension cord is necessary
then it must be minimum #12 gauge cord and no longer than 25 feet.
Replacement cords
1. Use only the supplied power cord for this
welder or an identical replacement cord.
2. Do not install a thinner or longer cord on this welder.
Page 6 For technical questions, please call 1-888-380-0318.
2. Do not use any adapters between the welder's
power cord and the AC (power source) receptacle.
2. The grounding prong in the plug is connected
through the green wire inside the cord to the
grounding system in the tool. The green wire
in the cord must be the only wire connected
to the tool's grounding system and must
never be attached to an electrically "live"
terminal. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. The tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet,
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all codes and ordinances. The plug and
outlet should look like those in the preceding
illustration. (See 3-Prong Plug and Outlet.)
3. Do not patch cords of any length together for this
item. Patches may allow moisture to penetrate
the insulation, resulting in electric shock.
