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 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 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.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION 2. Extension cord During normal use an extension cord is not necessary. It is strongly recommended that an extension cord should not be used because of the voltage drop they produce. This drop in voltage can affect the performance of the welder.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION 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.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION Voltage selector - The voltage selector controls the welding heat. This unit has infinite voltage control. Refer to the label inside the welder side door for recommended voltage selector settings for your welding job. Wire speed control - The wire speed control adjusts the speed at which the wire is fed out of the welding torch.
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION done before starting each welding job or whenever any of the following variables are changed: heat setting, wire diameter, or wire type. EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN! Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. Never strike an arc or begin welding until you are adequately protected.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION Moving the torch too fast, too slow, or erratically will prevent proper fusion or create a lumpy, uneven bead. Travel direction is the direction the torch is moved along the weld joint in relation to the weld puddle. The torch is either PUSHED into the weld puddle or PULLED away from the weld puddle.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION It is best if you can weld in the flat position if at all possible as good results are easier to achieve. HORIZONTAL POSITION Is performed very much the same as the flat weld except that angle B (see HOLDING THE TORCH) is such that the wire, Directed more toward the metal above the weld joint is to help prevent the weld puddle from running downward while still allowing slow enough travel speed .A good starting point for angle B is about 30 degrees DOWN from being perpendicular to...

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION 6.4 Multiple pass welding Butt Weld Joints When butt welding thicker materials you will need to prepare the edges of the material to be joined by grinding a bevel on the edge of one or both pieces of the metal being joined. When this is done, a “V” is created between the two pieces of metal that will have to be welded closed.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION 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.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION 6.6 Spot welding instructions 1. Select the wire diameter and heat setting recommended above for the method of spot welding you intend to use. 2. Tune in the wire speed as if you were going to make a continuous weld. 3.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION The best way to teach yourself how to weld is with short periods of practice at regular intervals. All practice welds should be done on scrap metal that can be discarded. Do not attempt to make any repairs on valuable equipment until you have satisfied yourself that your practice welds are of good appearance and free of slag .
GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION As the coating on the outside of the electrode burns off, it forms an envelope of protective around the weld. This prevents air from reaching the molten metal and creating an undesirable chemical reaction. The burning coating, however, forms slag. The slag formation appears as an accumulation of dirty metal scale on the finished weld.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTION MINOR AND ROUTINE MAINTENANCE Temperature range from 10°F~120°F and the relative humidity not more than 90%. When transporting or storing the welder after use, it is recommended to repack the product as it was received for protection. (Cleaning is required before storage and you must seal the plastic bag in the box for storage.)
