INVERTER MULTI-PROCESS WELDER KIT

The wire with green insulation (with or without yellow stripes) is the equipment-
grounding wire. If repair or replacement of the power cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the equipment-grounding wire to a live (current carrying) terminal.
Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you do not understand
these grounding requirements, or if you are in doubt about whether the tool is
properly grounded. If you ever notice that a cord or plug is damaged or worn,
disconnect it from power, and immediately replace it with a new one.
WARNING
Serious injury could occur if you connect machine to power before completing setup
process. DO NOT connect to power until instructed later in this manual.
EXTENSION CORDS
We do not recommend using an extension cord with this machine. If you must use
an extension cord, only use it if absolutely necessary and only on a temporary basis.
Extension cords cause voltage drop, which can damage electrical components and
shorten motor life. Voltage drop increases as the extension cord size gets longer and
the gauge size gets smaller (higher gauge numbers indicate smaller sizes).
Any extension cord used with this machine must be in good condition and contain a
ground wire and matching plug/receptacle. Additionally, it must meet the following
size requirements:
Minimum Gauge Size ........................................12 AWG
Maximum Length (Shorter is Better) ......................50 ft.
ELECTRODE SELECTION
The welding electrode is a rod coated with a layer of flux. When welding, electrical
current flows between the electrode (rod) and the grounded metal workpiece.
The intense heat of the arc between the rod and the grounded metal melts the
electrode and the flux. The most popular electrodes are:
— E6013 60,000 PSI tensile strength used for poor fit-up applications.
— E7014 70,000 PSI tensile strength used for high deposition and fast travel
speeds with light penetration.
— E7018 70,000 PSI tensile strength
This welder is capable of welding with solid core or flux cored wire 0.024" (0.6mm),
0.030" (0.8mm) or 0.035" (.9mm); accomodates 1 kg or 5kg wire spools both on
120V and 230V.
On 120V, this welder is capable of welding with stick wire 1/16" - 3/32" (1.6-2.5mm)
and on 230V is capable of the stick wire 1/16" - 5/32" (1.6-4mm)
