Chicago Electric 44568 Welder User Manual


 
Page 7SKU 44568 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
If an extension cord is used, it must have the following wire size: up to 30 feet, use 10
AWG size wire; 30 to 50 feet, use 8 AWG wire; Over 50 feet, use 6 AWG wire.
7. While holding the Torch Cable Clamp with electrode clearly out of the way of any
grounded objects, turn the Power Switch to the ON position.
8. Orient yourself on the area to be welded, then place the Face Shield over your eyes.
Warning: Never look at the ignited arc without ANSI approved, arc shaded, eye protec-
tion in a full face shield. Permanent eye damage or blindness can occur. Skin burns can
occur. Never breath arc fumes.
9. Stroke the area to be welded with the electrode to ignite the arc.
Never tap the electrode into the welding surface to ignite the arc. This damages its
external coating on the electrode which prevents oxygen in the air from coming into
contact with the molten metal, causing it to oxidize.
10. Once the arc is ignited, tilt the electrode forward at an angle of approximately 30° and
hold it at a distance from the welding object equal to the diameter of the electrode.
Note: If too much current is drawn from the Arc Welder, the Thermal Overload protector will
activate, the amber indicator will light, and the Arc Welder will turn off until it cools down. If this
happens, turn the Power Switch to the OFF position and wait about 20 minutes.
11. When the weld is complete, lift the electrode clearly away from any grounded object,
set the Face Shield down and turn toward the Arc Welder and turn the Power Switch to
the OFF position.
12. Remove the electrode from the Torch Cable Clamp.
13. Unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet.
