MAINTENANCE

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:

Protective gear must be worn when using the Welder; minimum shade number 10 full face shield (or welding mask), ear protection, welding gloves, sleeves and apron, NIOSH-approved respirator, and fire resistant work clothes without pockets should be worn when welding.

Light from the arc can cause permanent damage to the eyes and skin.

Do not breathe arc fumes.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY, FIRE AND BURNS:

Keep welding tip clear of grounded objects whenever unit is plugged in.

The Flux Wire Welder is used to weld sheet metal and low carbon steel. Good welding takes a degree of skill and experience. Practice a few sample welds on scrap before welding your first project. Additional practice periods are recommended whenever you weld a different thickness of material or weld a different type of connection.

Make practice welds on pieces of scrap to practice technique before welding anything of value.
