  • Page 3: Electric Shock Can Kill

    ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. 3.a. The electrode and work (or ground) circuits are electrically “hot” when the welder is on. Do not touch these “hot” parts with your bare skin or wet clothing. Wear dry, hole-free gloves to insulate hands.
  • Page 4 WELDING SPARKS can cause fire or explosion. 6.a. Remove fire hazards from the welding area. If this is not possible, cover them to prevent the welding sparks from starting a fire. Remember that welding sparks and hot materials from welding can easily go through small cracks and openings to adjacent areas.

  • Page 9: Safety Precautions

    Read this entire installation section before you start installation. SAFETY PRECAUTIONS WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. •Only qualified personnel should per- form this installation. •Turn the input power OFF at the dis- connect switch or fuse box before work- ing on this equipment. •Do not touch electrically hot parts.
  • Page 10: Output Cables For Pulse Welding

    If the optional 25 foot Control Cable Extension is used, it should be plugged into the 6-pin receptacle of the wye adapter and then into the MIG Pulser. Only one Control Cable Extension should be used; do not series multiple extensions together. Using 50 foot or longer control cables will cause the signals traveling between the V300 and the MIG Pulser to degrade, leading to poor welding performance.
  • Page 11: Operation

    SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Read entire section before operating this unit. Additionally, read the V300 operator’s manual before operating this unit. WARNING ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill. •Do not touch electrically live parts such as output terminals or internal wiring. •Insulate yourself from the work and ground.
  • Page 12: Design Features And Advantages

    DESIGN FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES •Simple controls make this unit easy to set up and adjust. •The control algorithm is adaptive — it responds to changes in stick-out and gun angle while maintaining a stable arc. •Designed to the IEC-974-1 standard. •Attractive, rugged case includes carrying handle and rubber feet.
  • Page 13: V300 Settings

    V300 SETTINGS Read and understand the V300 Instruction Manual before attempting to use the V300/MIG Pulser system. Also refer to figure A.2 in the Installation chapter. The V300 must be set to the TIG Mode when using the MIG Pulser. This is because pulse welding is a current controlled process, not a constant voltage process like straight GMAW.
