Setup for Solid Core (gas shielded) welding:
a. Plug Ground Clamp Cable
into Negative (–) Socket.
Plug polarity switch cable
into Positive (+) Socket.
Twist cables clockwise all
the way to lock in place.
b. Determine which type of
shielding gas would be
appropriate for the welding you
will do. Refer to the Settings
Chart on the inside of the
Welder door.
c. With assistance, set the
cylinder (not included) onto
a cabinet or cart near the
Welder and secure the cylinder
in place with two straps (not
included) to prevent tipping.
d. Remove the cylinder’s cap.
Stand to the side of the valve
opening, then open the valve
briefly to blow dust and dirt
from the valve opening. Close
the cylinder valve.
e. Locate the Regulator
(included) and close its valve
until it is loose, then thread
Regulator onto cylinder and
wrench-tighten connection.
NOTE: When using C100
shielding gas, connect the
enclosed CGA 580/320
adapter to the inlet connection
of the Regulator and wrench-
tighten. Thread the adapter
onto the gas cylinder and
wrench-tighten.
f. Attach the Gas Hose (not included)
to the Regulator’s outlet and
the Welder’s gas inlet. Wrench-
tighten both connections.
