Welding Cable and Torch
The welding wire is driven through the welding cable and torch to the work piece. It is attached to
the drive system; the gun trigger activates the drive motor.
Thermal Indicator
If the duty cycle of the welder is exceeded the internal temperature will exceed safe temperatures
and the machine will shut down. The Thermal overload light will come on indicating this. Leave the
unit on and allow 15 minutes for cool down before the light will go off and the temperature to fall into
an allowable operating range.
Power Cord
The power cord connects the welder to the 115 volt power supply. Plug the 15 amp plug into a 115
volt/20 amp receptacle to supply power to the welder.
ASSEMBLY
INSTALLING THE HANDLE
1. Line up the holes in the handles with the holes on the top of the welder.
2. Place a lock washer then a washer onto the welder handle screws.
3. Insert screws with the washers through the holes on the welder handle and into the top of the
welder and tighten.
INSTALLATION
Electrical Shock
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper
installation of receptacle. This cutter must be grounded while in use to protect the operator
from electrical shock.
Do not remove grounding prong or alter the plug in any way. Use only the supplied adapter
between the plasma cutter's power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the
POWER switch is OFF when connecting your plasma cutter's power cord directly to a
properly grounded 120 VAC, 60 Hz, single phase, 20 amp input power supply.
1. POWER REQUIREMENT 120V - AC single phase 120V (110-130V) 50/60 Hz fused with a 20
amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the
ACTUAL power source voltage is less than 110 volts AC or greater than 130 volts AC.
2. EXTENSION CORD - We do not recommend an extension cord because of the voltage drop
they produce. This drop in voltage can affect the performance of the welder. If you need to use
an extension cord, it must be a size #12 or larger. Check with a qualified electrician and your
local electrical codes for your specific area. Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. in length.
