NOTE (for models 80E, 95E and Easi Arc 150): If the machine stops at any time and the ON/OFF switch lights, the thermostat has intervened. Wait for a few minutes while the transformer cools down and when the ON/OFF switch goes out again welding can begin.

Do not worry as practice will soon cure this, and the following tips on welding pitfalls should help to improve your technique quite quickly.
