POWER-UP SEQUENCE

1. Check that the electrode polarity is correct for the process being
used, then turn the power switch ON. The fan will come on and
stay on until power to the machine is removed.
2. Configure the machine for the desired process and application.
Selecting the home button will take the user to the home screen. At
the home screen the user can select one of the desired processes.
After the process is selected, the user will encounter a brief page
which displays the required output polarity setup for the chosen
process. By selecting continue, the user will encounter the diameter
select page which will permit the user to choose the diameter of the
electrode they have chosen. After the diameter select page, the user
will have an opportunity to select the thickness of material they
intend to weld. With these inputs the interface will determine the
best settings for the selected input values.
3. Press the trigger to feed the wire electrode through the gun and
cable and then cut the electrode within approximately 3/8"
(10 mm) from the end of the contact tip.
4. If shielding gas is to be used, turn on the gas supply and set the
required flow rate (typically 25-35 CFH; 12-16 liters/min).
5. When using an Innershield electrode, the gas nozzle may be
removed and replaced with the gasless nozzle. This will provide
increased visibility and eliminate the possibility of the gas nozzle
overheating.
6. Connect the work cable to the metal to be welded. The work clamp
must make a good electrical contact with the work. The work must
also be grounded as stated in "Arc Welding Safety Precautions."
