2 General Operating Instructions
Protective gear must be worn when using the machine.
Arc shaded, eye protection, a full face shield, heavy-duty work gloves, a welding
apron, respirator, and heavy -duty work clothes without pockets should be worn
when using this product. Do not look at the ignited arc without eye protection.
Light from the arc can cause permanent damage to the eyes. Light from the arc
can burn the skin. Do not breathe arc fumes.
1) BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Machine. Check for
•loose hardware,
•damaged cord/electrical wiring,
•cooling fan operation,
•cracked or broken parts
•any other condition that may affect the safe operation.
IMPORTANT: The duty cycle defines the number of minutes, within a 10 minute period,
during which a given Machine can safely produce a particular current.
• This Machine is equipped with an i
nternal thermal protection system to help prevent
da
mage to the unit. When the unit overheats; it automatically shuts down, then returns
to service when it cools down.
2) Clean the weld surfaces thoroughly with a wire brush or angle grinder; there must
be no rust, paint, oil, or other materials on the weld surfaces, only bare metal.
3) Use clamps (not included) to hold the workpieces in position so that you can
concentrate on proper welding technique. The distance (if any) between the two
workpieces must be controlled properly to allow the weld to hold both sides securely
while allowing the weld to penetrate fully into the joint. The edges o
f thicker
wor
kpieces may need to be chamfered (or beveled) to allow proper weld
penetration.
4) Clamp Ground Cable to bare metal on the workpiece near the weld area, or to metal
work bench where the workpiece is clamped.
5) Turn the Power Switch to the OFF position, then plug the Power Cord into a
properly grounded, GFCI protected 120 VAC receptacle that matches the plug.
6) Turn on the machine.
7) Settings - Refer to Setting chart attached on the machine.
8) Trigger the torch and start to weld. The end of the
MIG Gun should be tilted so tha
t
wire is angled anywhere in-between straight on and 15° in the direction you are
welding.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY, point torch away from your body
when triggering the torch.
Note: If the Machine working time reaches to the maximum working time according to
the duty cycle, the thermal protector will activate and the “Overload Indicator” will
illuminate. The Machine will automatically shut down until it cools, then you may resume
welding again.
