Arc Welding Safety Warnings and Precautions

1. Avoid electrical shock. Do not permit electrically live parts, cables, or electrodes to

contact skin, clothing, or gloves. Protective clothing should be free of holes, dry, and

ANSI approved.

This unit draws enough current to cause serious injury or death. Before turning the

welder on, check the electrode holder to be sure that there are no protruding screw

heads, and that all insulation is secure. Do not weld unless you are insulated from ground

and the work piece.

2. Avoid breathing fumes or gases. They can cause serious health problems. Use an

active ventilation system directly above the welding area. Keep your head out of the

fumes.

3. Avoid eye and body damage. Arc rays and infrared radiation can injure eyes and burn

skin. Wear ANSI approved eye and body protection. Do not allow viewing by visitors

without proper eye and body protection. Use a Face Shield with arc shaded filter plate.

4. Know proper arc welding practices. Read and understand this instruction manual,

and well as your employer’s safety practices for arc welding.

5. Avoid fire and explosion. Remove flammable and explosive material from at least 35

feet from the welding arc to prevent welding sparks or molten metal from starting a fire.

Keep a type ABC fire extinguisher within easy reach. Thoroughly clean the object being

welded of any paint, grease, or other foreign material.

6. This product, when used for welding and similar applications, produces chemicals known

to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects (or other reproductive harm).

(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5,

et seq.

)

19. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed regularly

by a qualified technician.

20. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be

of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up.

Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause electrical damage to

the tool. This tool requires use of an 220 VAC extension cord of 20 amps minimum

capability (up to 30 feet), with wire size rated at 10 AWG.Longer extension cords require

larger size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for

outdoor use (signified by “WA” on the jacket).

21. Pacemaker safety warning. People with pacemakers should consult with their

physician(s) before using this product; operation of equipment in close proximity to a

heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker.

Note: Performance of this tool may vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Exten-

sion cord usage may also affect tool performance.

Warning:The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual

cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be under-

stood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be

built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

Controls and Indicators

Welding

Caution: Before arc welding, read and understand all safety precautions and warnings

listed on pages 2 through 5.

1. If using non-flux core wire, connect and secure the Argon/CO2

gas hose to the rear of the MIG Welder. (If using flux core wire,

protective gas is not required.)

2. Attach the Ground Cable with Clamp (15) as close as possible

to the metal object to be welded, or to the metal work bench

where the object is mounted and electrically connected.

3. Set the desired welding current (30~120 amps) for the type of metal being welded

using the Min/Max Switch and 1/2 Power Level Switch.

Refer to the power setting table on the next page. Thinner metals use lower current.

Heavier metals use higher current.

4. Verify that the On/Off Switch is in the OFF position, then plug the MIG Welder Line

Cord into a dedicated, 220 VAC, 20 amp line with delayed action type circuit breaker

11. A licensed electrician must connect a 220 V~ plug (not supplied) to the line cord.

Green wire = ground; Black wire = hot (110 V~, Leg 1);White wire = hot (110 V~, Leg 2)

5. While holding the Welding Torch handle, with the electrode wire clearly out of the way

of any grounded objects, turn the On/Off Switch to the ON position.

6. Momentarily press the Welding Torch trigger switch to test the wire feed speed.

Adjust the speed by turning the Wire Feed Speed Control knob.

7. Orient yourself on the area to be welded, then hold the Arc Shaded Face Shield over

your eyes.

Warning: Never look at the ignited arc without ANSI approved, arc shaded, eye protec-

tion in a full face shield. Permanent eye damage or blindness can occur. Skin burns can

occur. Never breath arc fumes.

8. Press (and hold) the Torch Trigger Switch and stroke the area to be welded with the

electrode wire to ignite the arc.

Never tap the electrode wire into the welding surface to

ignite the arc. This damages its external coating on the

electrode which prevents oxygen in the air from coming

into contact with the molten metal, causing it to oxidize.

9. Once the arc is ignited, tilt the electrode wire forward at an

angle of about 35°. Refer to the illustration at right.

The wire feeds automatically at a speed dependent on the

Min. or Max. current setting.The wire speed can also be

adjusted using the Wire Feed Speed Control.

Note: If too much current is drawn from the MIG Welder, the Thermal Overload protector will

activate, the red Overload indicator will light, and the Arc Welder will turn off until it cools down.

If this happens, turn the On/Off Switch to the OFF position and wait about 3 ~ 5 minutes.

10. When the weld is complete, lift the Welding Torch handle electrode wire clearly away

from any grounded object, remove your Face Shield, and turn the On/Off Switch to the

OFF position.

11. Unplug the power Line Cord from the electrical outlet.
