Connecting The Welder To A Power Source - Eastwood MP200i Assembly And Operating Instructions Manual

SAFETY INFORMATION
• Electric welding heats metal and tools to temperatures that will cause severe burns!
• Use protective, heat resistant gloves and clothing when using Eastwood or any other welding equipment. Never touch welded work
surface, the welding torch tip, nozzle or tungsten until they have completely cooled.
• Grinding and sanding will eject metal chips, dust, debris, and sparks at high velocity. To prevent eye injury wear approved safety
glasses.
• Wear an OSHA-approved respirator when grinding or sanding.
• Read all manuals included with specific grinders, sanders or other power tools used before and after the welding process.
Be aware of all power tool safety warnings.
• Pull and guide Welder by the top Handle only. DO NOT pull on welder cables, hoses or wires to move Welder.
• Use caution not to trip on welder cables, hoses or wires when in use for welding.
• The Welder is intended for use with up to two 7" diameter cylinders. Use caution when handling compressed gas cylinders and
always keep in the upright position.
• ALWAYS properly secure welding gas cylinders in place with the supplied chains.
• This Welder is designed to accommodate specified welding gas cylinders only.
• DO NOT lift the Welder by the top Handle. Doing so may result in failure of the Handle mounting points which can allow the Welder
to fall causing severe injury!
• DO NOT exceed the rated 450 lbs. [205kg] weight capacity.
• DO NOT use as a seat.
• DO NOT stand or step on the Welder.
• Use on a flat and level surface only. DO NOT use on sloped surfaces.
• Lifting the Welder by the top handle with welding gas cylinders installed could result in failure at the mounting points and the Welder
dropping. If the Welder needs to be lifted by the handle, remove the gas cylinders first.
• If exposed to excessive fumes move to an area with fresh air. Follow safety information on the welding wire, tungsten electrode,
filler rod and stick electrode manufacturers' Safety Data Sheets.
• For other injuries follow basic first aid techniques and call physician or emergency medical personnel.

CONNECTING THE WELDER TO A POWER SOURCE

The Eastwood Elite AC/DC MP200i Welder requires a dedicated 240 VAC, 50 AMP, circuit breaker protected outlet. The plug installed on the Welder is a
NEMA 6-50P and should be used with a NEMA 6-50R receptacle. If unsure about your electrical setup contact a licensed electrician.
As an alternative, by using the included Adapter Cord, the AC/DC MP200i can be used with a dedicated 120 VAC, 20 AMP grounded NEMA 5-15R outlet protected
by a circuit breaker.
If using an extension cord is required, we recommend using our Welder Extension Cords for optimal performance: Eastwood items #31739 25ft Heavy Duty
110V Extension Cord, #20029 25ft Heavy Duty 220V Extension Cord, and #20285 40ft Heavy Duty 220V Extension Cord.
