PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Your new Metal Inert Gas (MIG) wire feed welder
is designed for maintenance,
and sheetmetal
fab-
rication. The welder
consists
of a single-phase
power
transformer,
stabilizer,
rectifier,
and
a
unique built-in control/feeder.
This MIG welder is
capable of welding with .024" and .030" solid steel,
or stainless steel wires and .030" aluminum (spec
#5356 alloy) wire on DC positive polarity and with
.030", self-shielding
flux-core
wire on DC negative
polarity.
WIRE
SPEED
- This control adjusts the speed at
which the wire is fed out of the gun. The wire speed
needs to be closely matched
("tuned-in") to the
rate at which it is being melted off. Some things
that affect wire speed selection are the type and
diameter
of the wire being used, the heat setting
selected, and the welding position to be used.
DUTY CYCLE
NOTE;
When using .035 Flux Core wire your duty
cycle may be shorter than 20%.
Now you can weld 20 gauge sheet metal up to
3/16" with a single pass. Welds
114" steel with
beveling and multiple
pass.
SPECIFICATIONS
The duty cycle rating of a welder tells the operator
how long he or she can weld and how long the
welder
must rest-to
cool. tt is expressed
as a
percentage
of 10 minutes (the industry recognized
cycle time) and represents the maximum
welding
time allowed,
with the balance
of the 10-minute
cycle required for cooling (see chart below).

WELDER CONTROLS AND THEIR
FUNCTIONS
POWER
SWITCH-
Has three settings: LOW, OFF,
and HIGH.
Setting the switch to OFF shuts the
welder
off. When
set to LOW,
the welder
can
produce up to 45 amps of welding current. When
set on HIGH, up to 75 amps of welding current will
be available.
NOTE:
The actual amperage
will
vary depending
on wire speed,
length of the arc
held when welding, the type of wire being used,
and the ACTUAL
voltage
available
at the wall
receptacle.
ELECTRIC
SHOCK
CAN KILL! To reduce risk of
electric shock, be aware that having the POWER
SWITCH
in the OFF
position does not remove
power from all intemal circuitry of the welder.
Your new welder has a duty cycle rating of 20%.
You can weld for 2 minutes out of 10, with the
remaining
8 minutes
required
for cooling.

INTERNAL
THERMAL
PROTECTION
If you exceed the duty cycle of your welder, and
internal thermal protector will open and shut off ai!
welder functions.
After cooling, the thermal protec-
tor will automatically
reset and the welder wilt func-
tion normally again.
DO NOT
CONSTANTLY
EXCEED
THE
DUTY
CYCLE
OR DAMAGE
TO THIS
WELDER
CAN
RESULT!
