• Attach the standard MIG welding gun to the threaded connection on the front of the welder.

Gas Cylinder and Regulator Connection

The gas cylinder (not supplied) should be located near the rear of the welder, in a well-ventilated area and securely

fixed to the work bench or to the wall to ensure that it will not fall.

For safety and economy, ensure that the regulator is fully closed (turned counter-clockwise) when not welding and

when fitting or removing the gas cylinder.

• Turn the regulator adjustment knob counter-clockwise to ensure the valve is fully closed.

• Screw the gas regulator down on the gas bottle valve and tighten.

• Connect the gas hose to the regulator, securing with the clip/nut provided.

• Connect the other end to the GAS INPUT (10) on the back of the machine.

• Open the cylinder valve, then set the gas flow to approximately 20 - 35 CFH (cubic ft. per hour) on the

regulator.

• Depress the gun trigger to ensure that the gas is flowing through the gun.

WARNING: Cylinders are highly pressurized. Handle with care. Serious accidents can result from improper

handling or misuse of compressed gas cylinders. Do not drop the cylinder, knock it over, expose it to excessive heat,

flames or sparks. Do not strike it against other cylinders or strike an arc on it.

Installing the Welding Wire

ENSURE GAS AND ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES ARE DISCONNECTED. Before proceeding,

remove the nozzle and the contact tip from the gun.

WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! Always turn the ON/OFF SWITCH (11) to the OFF

position and unplug the welder’s INPUT POWER CABLE (12) from the AC power source before installing wire.

When the gun trigger is depressed, the drive rolls, spool of wire, wire being fed, and electrode are all electrically

live (hot).
