POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
High voltage danger from power source!
Consult a qualified electrician for proper
installation of receptacle at the power source.
This welder must be grounded while in
use to protect the operator from electrical
shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is
properly grounded, have it checked by a
qualified electrician. Do not cut off the
grounding prong or alter the plug in any
way and do not use any adapters
between the welder's power cord and the
power source receptacle.
Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then
connect your welder's power cord to a properly
grounded 120 Vac, 60 Hz, single phase, 15
amp power source. Do not operate this welder
if the source voltage is less than 105 Vac or
greater than 132 Vac. Contact a qualified elec-
trician if this problem exists. Improper perform-
ance and/or damage to the welder will result if
operated on inadequate or excessive power.
