General Safety (Continued)

!WARNING Arc

welding closed cylinders or containers such as tanks or drums can cause explosion if not properly vented! Verify that any

cylinder or container to be welded has an adequate ventilation hole, so that expanding gases can be released.

! WARNING Do

not breathe fumes that are produced by the arc welding operation. These fumes are dangerous. If the welding area cannot

be adequately ventilated, be sure to use an air-supplied respirator.

●Keep the head and face out of the welding fumes.

●Do not perform electric arc welding operations on metals that are galvanized or cadmium plated, or contain zinc, mercury, or beryllium without completing the following precautions:

a.Remove the coating from the base metal.

b.Make sure that the welding area is well ventilated.

c.Use an air-supplied respirator.

Extremely toxic fumes are created when these metals are heated.

!WARNING The

electromagnetic field that is generated during arc welding may interfere with the operation of various electrical and

electronic devices such as cardiac pacemakers. Persons using such devices should consult with their physician prior to performing any electric arc welding operations.

●Route the wire gun and work cables together and secure with tape when possible.

●Never wrap arc welder cables around the body.

●Always position the wire gun and work leads so that they are on the same side of the body.

●Exposure to electromagnetic fields during welding may have other health effects which are not known.

Always be sure

! WARNING that the welding area is secure and free of hazards (sparks, flames, glowing metal or slag) prior to leaving. Be sure that equipment is turned off and excess wire is cut off. Be sure that cables are loosely coiled and out of the way. Be sure that all metal and slag has cooled.

Installation (All Models)

LOCATION

Selecting the proper location can significantly increase performance, reliability and life of the arc welder.

●For best results locate the welder in an environment that is clean and dry. Dust and dirt in the welder retain moisture and increase wear of moving parts.

●Place the welder in an area that provides at least twelve inches (305 mm) of ventilation space at both the front and rear of the unit. Keep all obstructions away from this ventilation space.

●Store flux core wire in a clean, dry location with low humidity to reduce oxidation.

●The receptacle used for the welder must be properly grounded and the welder must be the only load on the power supply circuit. Refer to the Circuit Amps chart on page 1 for correct circuit capacity.

●The use of an extension cord is not recommended for electric arc welding machines. The voltage drop in the extension cord may

significantly degrade the performance of the welder.

Assembly -

WF1800/WF1900

All welding accessories for the welder are inside the wire feed compartment. Lift wire feed cover to find handle, workclamp, etc.

Handle Assembly

1.Place handle assembly on welder, aligning two holes in the ends with threaded holes in welder housing.

2.Fasten screws through handle ends and into cabinet.

3.Insert cord storage clips into handle ends.

Shaft Attachment

1.Open up the panel to expose the wire feed platform.

2.Align the shaft hole and notch to the welder screw hole and notch hole.

3.Fasten with screw down through the shaft and into the welder.

4.Press spring into top of spindle.

Flux Core Wire Installation

!WARNING Welding power may be applied to

the output terminals, feed roll, work clamp, gun cable connection and welding wire even when the the gun switch is not activated. Do not touch these parts when the welding machine is on.

Note: Before installing welding wire, be sure that the diameter of the welding wire matches the groove in the drive roller on the wire feed mechanism and that the wire size matches the contact tip in the end of the gun (see Figure 5).
