POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This welder is designed to operate on a proper-
ly grounded 120 volt, 60Hz, single-phase alter-
nating current (AC) power source fused with a
20 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is
recommended that a qualified electrician verify
the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into
which the welder will be plugged and confirm
that the receptacle is properly fused and
grounded. The use of the proper circuit size can
eliminate nuisance circuit breaker tripping
when welding.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS WELDER if the ACTU-
AL power source voltage is less than 105 volts
AC or greater than 132 volts AC. Contact a quali-
fied electrician if this problem exists. Improper
performance and/or damage to the welder will
result if operated on inadequate or excessive
power.
CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE
WARNING
High voltage danger from power source!
Consult a qualified electrician for proper installa-
tion of receptacle at the power source.
This welder must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock. If you
are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded,
have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not
cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in
any way and do not use any adapters between
the welder’s power cord and the power source
receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF
then connect your welder’s power cord to a
properly grounded 120VAC, 60Hz, single phase,
20amp powe source.
EXTENSION CORDS
For optimum welder performance, an extension
cord should not be used unless absolutely nec-
essary. If necessary, care must be taken in select-
ing an extension cord appropriate for use with
your specific welder.
Select a properly grounded extension cord that
will mate directly with the power source recep-
tacle and the welder power cord without the
use of adapters. Make certain that the extension
is properly wired and in good electrical condi-
tion. Extension cords must be a #12 gauge cord
at the smallest. Do not use an extension cord
over 25 ft. in length.
ASSEMBLING THE WELDER
The following procedures describe the process
required to assemble, install, maintain, and pre-
pare to weld with your new wire feed welder.
UNPACKING THE WELDER
1. Remove any cartons or bags containing
parts/accessories. (Most parts are shipped
INSIDE the welder door.)
2. Open the cartons or bags packed with
your welder and inspect their contents for
damage.
3. Layout the parts and compare them to the
the packing list in Table 3 to familiarize your-
self with the parts and what they are called.
This will help you when reading the manual.
