This unit is also capable of welding with either 0.030 inch (0.8 mm) or 0.035 inch (0.9 mm) flux cored weld- ing wire (FCAW) process. The use of shielding gas is not required for this welding process. Please refer to the instructions provided in this manual for proper machine setup.
The use of larger diameter wire makes welding difficult. The results cannot be guaranteed. The manufacturer DOES NOT recommend using larger diameter welding wire with this unit.
WELDER OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS
The duty rating defines how long the welding system can be used before it must pause and cool down. Duty Cycle ratings are expressed as a percentage of a
Firepower 120 volt Welding Systems have duty cycle ratings based on 15 amp and 20 amp input currents. Please refer to the data plate located on the front of the unit for the specific rating that applies to your unit.
All Firepower 230 volt Welding Systems are rated at the required input amperage for proper operation. Please refer to the data plate located on the front of the unit for the specific rating that applies to your unit.
INTERNAL THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTION
DO NOT exceed the duty cycle or damage could result to your welder. If you do exceed the duty cycle of your welder, the internal thermal overload protection shuts off all welder functions except the cooling fan. If this happens, DO NOT SHUT OFF THE WELDER. Leave the welder turned on and the fan running. After the welder is properly cooled, the ther- mal protector automatically resets and your welder will function properly.
If you find that your welder does not weld for a
