6.Wire the appropriate plug as shown in #2 above.
7.To tie off the wire shown in #2 above: Using a Wire Nut, cap the bare end of the un- used wire, carefully insulating it from contact with any metal or conducting surface.
WARNING! Before operating this welder, make sure that the plug is properly wired for the voltage to be used, AND that the selector switch (1) is set for the proper voltage. The Selector Switch must be set before the Arc Welder is plugged in and turned on. Severe equipment failure and property damage can result from improper wiring or switch selection.
Warning! If Arc Welder is operated at 115 V~, be sure not to regulate the current over 70 A, or the 30 A breaker in your house line will trip.
