Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

WS4369 and WS4469

 

 

Circuit Requirements

This equipment requires a

dedicated 230 volt circuit. Refer to the Specifications section for the correct circuit breaker or fuse rating. Do not run other appliances, lights, or tools on this circuit while operating this equipment. Extension cords are not recommended. Blown fuses and tripped circuit breakers can result from failure to comply with this recommendation.

The electrode holder is "live" (has current

potential) when machine is turned on.
