Caution: Before arc welding, read and understand all safety precautions and warnings
listed on pages 2 through 5.

Remove the connector knob and place the cable over each terminal and tighten the
connector knob completely.
3. Securely clamp the Ground Cable Clamp (3) as close as possible to the metal object to
be welded, or to the metal work bench where the object is mounted and electrically
connected.
4. Place the desired welding electrode rod securely into the jaws of the Torch Cable
Clamp (2).
5. While viewing the Current Setting Gauge (below-right), turn the Current Control Knob
to the correct current setting for the electrode rod being used.
