POWER SOURCE
CONNECTION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This welder is designed to operate on a
properly grounded 120 Volt, 60 Hz,
single-phase alternating current (ac)
power source fused with a 20 amp time-
delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is
recommended that a qualified electrician
verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the
receptacle into which the welder will be
plugged and confirm that the receptacle
is properly fused and grounded. The
use of the proper circuit size can
eliminate nuisance circuit breaker
tripping when welding.
DO HOT OPERATE THIS WELDER if
the ACTUAL power source voltage is
less than 105 Volts ac or greater than
132 Volts ac. Contact a qualified
electrician if this problem exists.
Improper performance and/or damage to
the welder will result if operated on
inadequate or excessive power.
CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE
WARNING
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, 20 amp power source.
EXTENSION CORDS
For optimum welder performance, an
extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If
necessary, care must be taken in
selecting an extension cord appropriate
for use with your specific welder.
Select a properly grounded extension
cord that will mate directly with the ac
power source receptacle and the welder
power cord without the use of adapters.
Make certain that the extension is properly
wired and in good electrical condition.
Extension cords must be at the smallest
a #12 gauge cord. Do not use an
extension cord over 25 ft. in length.
ASSEMBLING THE
WELDER
The following procedures describe the
process required to assemble, install,
maintain, and prepare to weld with your
new wire feed welder.
UNPACKING THE WELDER
1. Remove any cartons or bags
containing parts/accessories.
2. Open the cartons or bags packed
with your welder and inspect their
contents for damage. Report any
missing or damaged items
immediately.
3. Grasp the top handle of the welder
and lift the welder out of the carton.
INSTALL THE GROUND CLAMP
Connect the ground clamp to the ground
cable (coming out the front of the
welder) according to the instructions
packaged with the ground clamp.
INSTALL THE TANK TRAY
AND BRACKET
The tank tray bracket is installed on the
back of the welder, see Figure 1.
