OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Additional Safety Precautions

Always operate the welder with the roof and case
sides in place as this provides maximum protection
from moving parts and assures proper cooling air flow.
Read carefully the Safety Precautions page in the
Instruction Manual before operating this machine.
Always follow these and any other safety procedures
included in this manual and in the Engine Instruction
Manual.

ENGINE "ON-OFF" Switch
When placed in the "ON" position, this switch
energizes the engine ignition circuit. When placed in
the "OFF" position, the ignition circuit is de-energized
to shut down the engine.
ENGINE "START" Push-Button Switch
Energizes engine starter motor.
"POLARITY" Switch
Three STICK/TIG (constant current) polarity settings:
DC+, DC- and AC
Two wire feed (constant voltage) settings:
NOTE:
The setting of this switch must match the
color band setting of the Range Switch (both switches
must be set for the same welding process).
Never change the "POLARITY" switch setting
while welding. This will damage the switch.
