CAUTION
Make Tight Connections
Improper connections, including loose connections, in the weld circuit leads to resistance
causing excessive heat and may result in damage to your equipment. Insure all connections
are snug and tight.
DC STICK WELDING ASSEMBLY
CAUTION
Be aware that the ELECTRODE HOLDER will be electrically HOT when the Input Power Switch on the
welder is turned on.
1. Install the ground cable quick connector to the Negative (-) Weld Output Connector (Figure 1).
2. Secure the ground clamp to the work piece.
3. Install the electrode cable quick connector to the Positive (+) Weld Output Connector.
4. Flip the Weld Process Selector Switch left to the STICK position (Figure 1).
5. Turn ON the Input Power Switch.
6. Adjust the Output Amperage Control to the desired setting (Figure 1).
OPTIONAL TIG TORCH ASSEMBLY
CAUTION
Be aware that the TIG TORCH will be electrically HOT when the Input Power Switch on the welder is
turned on.
1. Remove the ground cable and the electrode holder from the weld output connections. Install
the ground cable to the Positive (+) weld output connection (Figure 1).
2. Secure the ground clamp to the work piece
3. Connect a regulator to a bottle of ARGON gas. Then connect the gas connection from the TIG
torch to the regulator.
4. Connect the TIG torch weld cable to the Negative (-) weld output connection.
5. Flip the Weld Process Selector Switch right to the TIG position (Figure 1).
6. Turn on the input power switch on the welder.
7. Set desired amperage on the amperage control knob on the front panel of the welder.
8. Turn on the regulator on the bottle of shielding gas and adjust the regulator to approximately
20 CFH. Then open the shielding gas valve on the torch to start the flow of shielding gas.
Operating Instructions
WARNING
High voltage danger from power source!
Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation of receptacle at the power source. This
welder must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. If you are
not sure if your outlet is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not
cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in any way and do not use any adapter, other than
the supplied adapter, between the welder's power cord and the power source receptacle.
Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then connect your welder's power cord to a properly
