The rated Duty cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and
the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10 Minutes. If welding at 130 Amps with a 60% Duty Cycle, within a 10 Minute block of time you can weld for 6 Minutes
with 4 Minutes of cooling for the Welder.
If the Duty Cycle is exceeded, and the built-in Breaker is tripped, allow the unit to cool for a minimum of 15 minutes. When a safe temperature has been reached, the
Welder can be switched back on. To increase the duty cycle, turn down the Voltage Output control. Going above 130 Amps will yield a lower Duty Cycle.
