    Specific Operation Warnings ⚠WARNING Your Welding Environment  Keep the environment you will be welding in free from flammable materials.  Always keep a fire extinguisher accessible to your welding environment.  Always have a qualified person install and operate this equipment. ...
  • Page 8 glasses while welding.  Wear proper gloves and protective clothing to prevent your skin from being exposed to hot metals, UV, and IR rays.  Do not overuse or overheat your welder. Allow proper cooling time between duty cycles.  Keep hands and fingers away from moving parts.
  • Page 9 ⚠WARNING Fumes and Gases  Do not use unit in the presence of gasoline, diesel, propane, or other flammable liquids. Sparks created from this unit may ignite liquids or fumes, causing an explosion and serious injury or death.  Fumes emitted from the welding process displace clean air and can result in injury or death. ...
  • Page 10 explosive materials.  Do not operate any electric arc welder in areas where flammable or explosive materials are present.  Remove all flammable materials within 35 feet of the welding arc.  Take precautions to ensure that flying sparks do not cause fires or explosions in hidden areas, cracks, or areas you cannot see.
  • Page 11  Keep high-frequency source doors and panels tightly shut, keep spark gaps at correct setting, and use grounding and shielding to minimize the possibility of interference. ARC WELDING can cause interference!  Electromagnetic energy can interfere with sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and computer-driven equipment such as robots.

To ensure proper penetration and enough deposit of the rod, the arc must be moved slowly and evenly along the weld seam.
  • Page 19 It is important that the gap be maintained during the welding process without being too wide or too narrow. If it’s too narrow, the rod will stick to the work piece. If it’s too wide, the arc will be extinguished. Practice will be needed to maintain the gap. A beginner will usually have sticker or arc extinguishing.
  • Page 20 more toward the metal above the weld joint. This more direct angle helps prevent the weld puddle from running downward while still allowing slow enough travel speed to achieve good penetration. A good starting point for your electrode angle is about 30 degrees DOWN from being perpendicular to the work piece.

  • Page 21: After Each Use

    After Each Use ⚠CAUTION Hot Materials - Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly.  Do not touch welded materials with bare hands.  Do not touch the torch nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down. 1.
