ENGINE “ON-OFF” Switch

When placed in the “ON” position, this switch energizes the engine ignition circuit. When placed in the “OFF” position, the ignition circuit is de-energized to shut down the engine.

ENGINE “START” Push-Button Switch

Energizes engine starter motor.

“POLARITY” Switch

Three STICK/TIG (constant current) polarity settings:

DC+, DC- and AC

Two wire feed (constant voltage) settings:

DC+ and DC-

NOTE: The setting of this switch must match the color band setting of the Range Switch (both switches must be set for the same welding process).

CAUTION

Never change the “POLARITY” switch setting
