OPERATnNG
CONTROLS
The name "dual range" arc welder is derived from the fact
that
your
new arc welder is equipped with
two separate
welding ranges,
The
beginner
or
less-experienced
welder
will
find
the
30-140 amp range easier to use because it provides extra arc
stability
when welding with some of the "more difficult
to
weld with specialty rods" which are prone to pop-outs
The 40-230 amp range requires less line (input
current)
draw for any given amp setting and permits the use of the
maximum
amp settings
with
minimum
effect
on other'
electrical
appliances, motors, and lights, on your electrical
system,
Either
range
may
be
used,
depending
on
operator
preferences
when the electrode
diameter
permits

twist in the opposite direction while removing
NOTE:
If you extend
the welding
cables beyond
those
already supplied,
they
must be No= 4 AWG or larger to
avoid an undue drop in welding current
Do not extend
cables over 50 feet,
Connect
the work
clamp to the piece to be welded,
(to
complete
the electrical circuit)
or to the welding table itself
provided it is metallic or will conduct electricity!
