POWER SOURCE CONNECTION

POWER REQUIREMENTS

This welder is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120 volt, 60Hz, single- phase alternating current (ac) power source fused with a 20 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommended that a qualified electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into which the welder will be plugged and confirm that the receptacle is properly fused and grounded. The use of the proper circuit size can eliminate nuisance circuit breaker tripping when welding.

DO NOT OPERATE THIS WELDER if the ACTUAL power source voltage is less than 105 volts ac or greater than 132 volts ac.

Contact a qualified electrician if this problem

exists. Improper performance and/or damage to the welder will result if operated on inadequate or excessive power.

CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE

High voltage danger from power source!

Consult a qualified electrician for proper

installation of receptacle at the power source. This welder must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in any way and do not use any adapters between the welder's power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then connect your welder's power cord to a properly grounded 120Vac, 60 Hz, single phase, 20

amp power source.

EXTENSION CORDS

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 directly with the power source receptacle and the welder power cord without the use of adapters. Make certain that the

extension is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

Extension cords must be a #12 gauge cord at the smallest. Do not use an extension cord

over 25 ft. in length.

ASSEMBLING THE WELDER

The following procedures describe the process required to assemble, install, maintain, and prepare to weld with your new wire feed welder.

UNPACKING THE WELDER
