SECTION 4: OPERATIONS
Operation Overview
The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding
of how the machine is used during operation, so
the machine controls/components discussed later
in this manual are easier to understand.
Due to the generic nature of this overview, it is
not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn
more about specific operations, read this entire
manual, seek additional training from experienced
machine operators, and do additional research
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books,
trade magazines, or websites.
If you are not experienced with this type
of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND
that you seek additional training outside of
this manual. Read books/magazines or get
formal training before beginning any proj-
ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-
tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable
for accidents caused by lack of training.
Always treat the welding components as if
they carry live welding current, even when
the welder reaches the duty cycle limit and
shuts down. When the welder re-establishes
the welding current, the electrode and work
lead will immediately carry live welding cur-
rent. Ignoring this warning could result in
serious personal injury or death.

erly prepared, suitable and safe for welding
(see Workpiece Inspection on Page 23).
2.
Inspects welder for any damage or exposed
wire, and ensures proper setup.
3.
Wears ANSI-approved welding safety gear,
including welding hood, respirator, gloves,
boots, and long sleeves.
4.
Connects machine to power and turns
machine ON.
5.
Properly connects ground clamp as close as
possible to workpiece, or to metal workbench
where workpiece is mounted and electrically
connected.
6.
Adjusts machine to desired settings.
7.
Welds workpiece.
8.
Disconnects ground clamp from workpiece,
and places ground clamp and welding gun
away from conductive materials.
9.
Allows welder fan to cool machine.
10. Turns machine OFF and disconnects machine
from power.
