Warnings and Safety Welding and plasma cutting may be dangerous to the operator and to bystanders, if the equipment is not operated properly. Welding or cutting must be performed in accordance with all relevant safety regulations. Carefully read and understand this instruction manual before installing and operating this equipment. Changing function modes during welding may damage equipment. Before welding, disconnect the electrode-holder cable from the equipment.
Welding splash is a fire hazard. Keep flammable material away from the work place. Keep a fire extinguisher nearby, and have all personnel trained in its use. Surface noise generated while welding or cutting can be harmful to hearing. In the event of a machine fault. Refer to this instruction manual. If the fault cannot be determined, contact your local dealer or supplier for assistance.
Safety Tips Consider the following tips to ensure safe operation of your welding/cutting equipment: Ensure that this welding equipment is installed in an area free of corrosive chemical gases, flammable gases or materials, and explosive chemicals. The area should contain little dust, and have a humidity of no more than 80%. Operate the welding equipment in an area sheltered from direct sunlight and precipitation.
General Description: StickWeld™ Series 140AMP Ultra-Portable Arc/Stick/MMA Welder is one of the lightest arc welders on the market at this time weighing in at only 13lbs! This DC stick welder comes with everything that you will need to operate this machine except for welding rods and a power supply. This machine is powered by a high speed cooling fan that will keep this welding machine running longer and cooler than any other welder machine out there on the market.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The machine is equipped with power voltage compensation equipment. When the power voltage fluctuation is between ±15% of rated voltage, it will operate normally. If you are planning on increasing the length of your power cable, please insure you use an adequate gauge cable such as a 4 or 6 gauge to insure there is enough power for the machine. 1. Make sure the fan is not blocked in the rear to avoid damage and over heating. 2.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 1. Turn on the power switch, the digital display will show amps, and the cooling fan will begin to start turning. 2. Adjust knob of the desired welding current ranging from 30-140amps. 3.

STICK WELDING TIPS Arc welders don't have a button to start the arc. Unlike MIG welders the rod (electrode) will become live as soon as the machine is switched on. The arc is started by touching the electrode momentarily against the work to complete the electrical circuit before raising the electrode to establish the arc. This needs to happen quickly to avoid welding the rod to the work. "Tap Starting" and "Scratch Starting" are the two common methods of starting the arc.
Rods Sticking to the Work If you are new to arc welding you will frequently stick the rod to the work when trying to start the arc. The rod welds itself to the work and it won't be possible to remove it just by pulling. Moving the rod backwards and forwards, or twisting the rod should fatigue the joint allowing you to remove the rod. If you have a crocodile clip type electrode holder you can just release the rod from the holder. There's no need to panic when the rod sticks.
(welding over slag would cause inclusions in the weld). In the photograph the rod has been bent at the electrode holder to position the holder at a more comfortable angle. It's OK to support the top of the electrode with your spare hand and this improves control of the electrode. Electric shocks aren't a problem, but be careful to reposition your hand away from the heat before the electrode gets too short. Arc Length The arc length is the distance between the electrode and the weld pool.
of weave can be used to help control speed and direction. In the video the arc is started with a tap start. The rod quickly becomes shorter as the weld progresses and the motion that can be seen is constant correction to maintain a short arc length. Note the rod angle is also maintained. It takes practice to maintain arc length and rod angle, especially if you are moving to arc welding from another welding process.
NOTES AND PREVENTIVE MEASURES 1. Environment 1） The machine should be operated in dry environments. 2） Ambient temperature should be between -10 to 40 degrees centigrade. 3） Avoid welding in high temperature climates. Avoid water damage or water intrusion. 4） Avoid welding in dusty areas or salty water environments where there is a chance of corrosion. 5） Avoid gas welding in environments with strong airflow.
