Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below may result in serious injury. CAUTION: Do not allow persons to operate or assemble this 7500K Welder/Generator until they have read this manual and have developed a thorough understanding of how the 7500K Welder/Generator works. - Page 4 1.3 Use of Your Welder Do not operate the welder if the output cable, electrode, torch, wire or wire feed system is wet. Do not immerse them in water. These components and the welder must be completely dry before attempting to use them. -Follow the instructions in this manual.
- Page 5 Fumes and Gases -Fumes emitted from the welding process displace clean air and can result in injury or death. -Do not breathe in fumes emitted by the welding process. Make sure your breathing air is clean and safe. -Work only in a well-ventilated area or use a ventilation device to remove welding fumes from the environment where you will be working.
- Page 6 Hot Materials Welded materials are hot and can cause severe burns if handled improperly. -Do not touch welded materials with bare hands. -Do not touch MIG gun nozzle after welding until it has had time to cool down. Sparks/Flying Debris Welding creates hot sparks that can cause injury.

weld output connection on the front of the welder. 2.2.2 Connect the quick connector on the end of the ground clamp and cable to the positive (+) weld output connection on the front of the welder. EXPOSURE TO A WELDING ARC IS EXTREMELY HARMFUL TO THE EYES AND SKIN! Prolonged exposure to the welding arc can cause blindness and burns. - Page 11 2. GROUND CLAMP CONNECTION Clear any dirt, rust, scale, oil or paint on the ground clamp. Make certain you have a good solid ground connection. A poor connection at the ground clamp will waste power and heat. Make sure the ground clamp touches the metal. 3.

- Page 13 It is important that the gap be maintained during the welding process and it should be neither too wide or too narrow. If too narrow, the rod will stick to the work piece. If too wide, the arc will be extinguished.
- Page 14 The horizontal position it is performed very much the same as the flat weld except that the angle is different such that the electrode, and therefore the arc force, is directed more toward the metal above the weld joint. This more direct angle helps prevent the weld puddle from running downward while still allowing slow enough travel speed to achieve good penetration.
