ON-OFF – THERMAL INDICATOR

To turn the power on to the welder, push the main switch to ON. Your welder has a lighted main switch. This light will come on if the welder has overheated. The light indicates that a thermostat has shut off the power within the welder. Once the welder has cooled, the thermostat will turn the welder back on and the light will go out. Over heating is usually caused by exceeding the welder duty cycle.

DUTY CYCLE

The duty cycle rating of a welder is a measure of how long the welder can weld and how long it must be rested and cool. It is expressed as a percentage of ten minutes (the industry recognized cycle time) and represents the maximum welding time allowed, with the balance of the ten minute cycle required for cooling.

INTERNAL THERMAL PROTECTION

If you exceed the duty cycle of your welder, an internal thermal protector will open and shut off all welder functions. If this ever happens to you, do not shut off the welder! Leave it turned on. After cooling a while, the thermal protector will automatically reset and the welder will function again. However, you should wait at least 10 minutes after the thermal protector opens before resuming welding, even if the protector resets itself sooner, or you may experience less than specified duty cycle performance.

CAUTION! DO NOT CONSTANTLY EXCEED THE DUTY CYCLE OR DAMAGE TO THIS WELDER WILL RESULT!

CONNECT WELDER GROUND

Attach the ground clamp to the work piece making sure that the work piece is cleaned of dirt, oil, rust, scale, oxidation, and paint at the point of connection. It is best to connect the ground clamp directly to the work piece and as close to the weld as possible. If it is impractical to connect the ground clamp directly to the work piece, connect it to metal that is securely attached to the work piece, but not electrically insulated from it. Also, make sure this other metal is of similar or greater thickness than that of the work piece.

CAUTION! RISK OF ELECTRONIC COMPONENT DAMAGE!

If the ground clamp is being connected to an automobile or other equipment with on-board computer systems, solid state electronic controls, solid state sound systems, etc., do not weld until disconnecting the cable from the battery that is attached to chassis ground. Failure to do so may result in electronic component damage!
