GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION -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 and stay away from the drive rolls.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION UV and IR Arc Rays The welding arc produces ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can cause injury to your eyes and skin. Do not look at the welding arc without proper eye protection. -Always use a helmet that covers your full face from the neck to top of head and to the back of each ear.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION Sparks/Flying Debris Welding creates hot sparks that can cause injury. Chipping slag off welds creates flying debris. -Wear protective apparel at all times: ANSI-approved safety glasses or shield, welder’s hat and ear plugs to keep sparks out of ears and hair. Electromagnetic Field -Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as pacemakers.

MIG/STICK WELDER Operating Instructions and Parts Manual 4. Ground clamp connection Clear any dirt, rust, scale, oil or paint on the ground clamp. Make certain you have a good solid ground connection. A poor connection at the ground clamp will waste power and heat. Make sure the ground clamp touches the metal.

MIG/STICK WELDER Operating Instructions and Parts Manual -Do not touch cylinder with MIG gun. -Do not weld on the cylinder. -Always secure cylinder upright to a cart or stationary object. -Keep cylinders away from welding or electrical circuits. -Use the proper regulators, gas hose and fittings for the specific application.
MIG/STICK WELDER Operating Instructions and Parts Manual spatter, a smooth weld bead will be difficult to obtain. Avoid unnecessary gas loss by closing the tank valve when finished welding. 6.3. Gas selection Different materials require different shielding gas when MIG welding, refer to the set up chart inside the wire feed compartment.

MIG/STICK WELDER Operating Instructions and Parts Manual 3. Position the torch to the work piece There are two angles of the torch nozzle in relation to the work piece that must be considered when welding. 3.1. Angle A can be varied, but in most cases the optimum angle will be 60 degrees, the point at which the torch handle is parallel to the work piece.
MIG/STICK WELDER Operating Instructions and Parts Manual 5.2. Select a heat setting. Refer to set up chart. 5.3. Hold the torch in one hand, allowing the nozzle to rest on the edge of the work piece farthest away from you, and at an angle similar to that which will be used when welding.
Page 17
MIG/STICK WELDER Operating Instructions and Parts Manual Travel speed is the rate at which the torch is being pushed or pulled along the weld joint. For a fixed heat setting, the faster the travel speed, the lower the penetration and the lower and narrower the finished weld bead. Likewise, the slower the travel speed, the deeper the penetration and the higher and wider the finished weld bead.

MIG/STICK WELDER Operating Instructions and Parts Manual 6.5 Spot welding There are three methods of spot welding: Burn-Through, Punch and Fill, and Lap. Each has advantages and disadvantages depending on the specific application as well as personal preference. 1. The BURN-THROUGH METHOD welds two overlapped pieces of metal together by burning through the top piece and into the bottom piece.
