2.5EXTENSION CORD USE

For optimum welder performance, an extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, care must be taken in selecting an extension cord appropriate for use with your specific welder.

Select a properly grounded extension cord that will mate the AC power cord of the welder with the AC power source receptacle directly, without the use of adapters. Make sure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

For an extension cord not exceeding 25 feet in length, choose the same AWG wire size as that of the power cord on the welder. Extension cord lengths longer than 25 feet will require heavier wire gauges to compensate for voltage losses.

2.6INSTALLING THE ELECTRODE HOLDER

Attach the electrode holder to the electrode cable according to the following steps.

1.Remove the handle (3) from the electrode holder (1) by removing the screw holding the handle (not shown) and sliding the handle off.

2.Remove the screw (6) from the electrode holder (1).

3.Push the cable (4) through the handle (3).

4.Insert the screw (6) through the hole in the electrode holder, then through the cable lug (5) and thread into the Rectangular Mounting Nut

(2).

5.Slide the handle back onto the electrode holder body (when it is aligned properly it will slide on easily). Press the two parts together and reinsert the screw to hold the handle in place.
