Welding

Caution: Before arc welding, read and understand all safety precautions and warnings listed on pages 2 through 5.

1.If using non-flux core wire, connect and secure the Argon / CO2 gas hose to the rear of the MIG Welder. (If using flux core wire, protective gas is not required.)

2.Attach the Ground Cable with Clamp (14) as close as possible to the metal object to be welded, or to the metal work bench where the object is mounted and electrically connected.

3.Set the desired welding current (30~120 amps) for the type of metal being welded using the Min/Max Switch and 1/2 Power Level Switch.

Refer to the power setting table on the next page. Thinner metals use lower current. Heavier metals use higher current.

4.Verify that the On/Off Switch is in the OFF position, then plug the MIG Welder Line Cord into a dedicated, 120 VAC, 20 amp line with delayed action type circuit breaker or fuses. If an extension cord is used, it must have the following wire size: up to 30 feet, use 10 AWG size wire; 30 to 50 feet, 8 AWG wire; Over 50 feet, 6 AWG wire.
