				about 0.4 Ohms. The resistance
				from the black lead to the red
				lead should be about 15 Ohms.

CAUTION

If for any reason you do not understand the test procedures or are unable to perform the tests/repairs safely, contact the Lincoln Electric Service Department for technical troubleshooting assistance before you proceed. Call 1-888-935-3877.
