● Do not use this welder on a circuit with a Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter
(GFCI) on it. GFCls are tripped by welding arcs and your welding
operations will be interrupted regularly.
Generators
This welder can be operated from an AC generator. Ensure that the
generator can supply a minimum of 5,000
watts of continuous output. The generator must not have an auto-idle
fuel-saving feature, and must have the option to turn the auto-idle off. The
generator must run at full speed at all times while your welder is plugged
into it, or you risk damaging your welder. Any other power draws on the
generator or anything that reduces the generator RPM may damage your
welder.
Extension Cords
For optimum welder performance, an extension cord should not be used
unless absolutely necessary. If necessary, care must be taken in selecting
an extension cord appropriate for use with your specific welder.
Select a properly grounded extension cord that will connect directly with
the AC power source receptacle and the welder INPUT POWER CABLE
without the use of adapters. Make certain that the extension cord is
properly wired and in good electrical condition. Extension cords must fit the
following wire size guidelines:
● #12 AWG or larger wire
● Do not use an extension cord over 25 ft. in length.
Ventilation
Since the inhalation of welding fumes can be harmful, ensure that the
welding area is effectively ventilated.
Additional Warnings
FOR YOUR SAFETY,BEFORE CONNECTING THE POWER SOURCE
TO THE LINE CLOSELY FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS:
● An adequate two-pole breaker must be inserted before the main outlet.
This breaker must be equipped with time-delay fuses.
●When working in a confined space, the welder must be kept outside the
welding area and the ground cable should be fixed to the workpiece. Never
work in a damp or wet confined space.
● Do not use damaged INPUT POWER CABLE or welding cables.
● The welding torch/electrode should never be pointed at the operator or
other people.
● The welder must never be operated without its panels attached. This
