STICK WELDING
1. Turn the Power Switch to the OFF position, then plug the Welder into a properly
grounded, GFCI protected, 120 VAC (20 amp rated) outlet or 230 V outlet. The
circuit must be equipped with delayed action-type circuit breaker or fuses.
2. Set Electrode Holder down on nonconductive, nonflammable surface away from
any grounded objects.
3. Turn the Power Switch ON.
4. Press the MIG/MMA mode selector to select MMA mode.
5. Turn the welding current adjustment knob to select desired welding current.
6. Turn the arc force adjustment knob to adjust weld penetration and smoothness.
7. Place the bare metal end of the Stick Electrode (sold separately) inside the jaws
of the Electrode Holder.
8. Stroke the workpiece lightly to ignite the arc. Tips for igniting the arc:
a. Tap the surface with the Electrode.
b. Stroke the surface with the Electrode.
c. Strike the surface like a match with the Electrode.
9. After the arc ignites:
a. Lift the Electrode o workpiece the same distance as the diameter of the
bare metal end.
b. Tilt Electrode back 10 to 20 degrees.
c. Drag Electrode to the back end of the weld puddle to deposit material as
needed.
