WELDING IN STICK MODE
1.Put the electrode holder and cable quick connect plug into the proper receptacle for the electrode polarity desired. Turn clockwise until tight. Connect the work clamp to the other receptacle and the work piece.
2.Set the Welding Process Switch to “STICK”.
3.Set the Local/Remote Switch to “Local”.
4.Place the electrode in the electrode holder.
5.Turn the Power Switch to the proper input voltage setting to turn on the welder.
WARNING
In Stick Mode the output terminal and electrode will be electrically hot when- ever the power switch is turned on.
6.Adjust the Current Control to the desired amps.
7.Strike an arc and weld.
NOTE: When the Welding Process Switch is set to “STICK” the output is always on when the power switch is on. A remote control has no effect on the welding current and the gas flow and high frequency TIG arc starter are disabled.
