welded with the electrode wire to ignite the arc. Never tap the electrode wire into the welding surface to ignite the arc.

9.The Welding Wire should extend no more than 1/2” past the Nozzle of the Welding Torch.

10.The Welding Wire should be directed straight into the joint. This gives an angle of 90 degrees (straight up and down) for groove (end to end) welds, and an angle of 45 degrees for fillet

(T-shaped) welds.

11.The end of the Welding Torch should be tilted so that the Welding Wire is angled anywhere in between straight on and 15 degrees in the direction of the weld. The amount of tilt is called the “drag angle”.

12.The wire feeds automatically, and can be changed using the Wire Speed Knob.

13.If too much current is drawn from the MIG Welder, the overload protection will activate, the red overload indicator will light, and the Arc Welder will shut down. If this happens, turn the power Switch OFF and wait about 3 ~ 5 minutes before restarting.

14.When the weld is complete, lift the Welding Torch handle away from any grounded object, remove your Face Shield, and turn the power Switch OFF.

15.Unplug the power cord from the electrical outlet.

16.Read the included weld diagnosis pamphlet for tips and suggestions concerning welding and proper usage.

17.To prevent accidents, turn off the tool and disconnect its power supply after use. Clean, then store the tool indoors out of children’s and unauthorized people’s reach.
