OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section
at the beginning of this manual
including all text under
subheadings therein before set
up or use of this product.
TO PREVENT
SERIOUS
INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL
OPERATION:
Turn the switch to its off
position before performing
any inspection, maintenance,
or cleaning procedures.
Workpiece and Work Area Set Up
Designate a work area that is clean 1.
and well-lit. The work area must not
allow access by children or pets to
prevent injury and distraction.
Route the power cord along a safe 2.
route to reach the work area without
creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage.
The power cord must reach the work
area with enough extra length to allow
free movement while working.
Secure loose workpieces using a vise 3.
or clamps (not included) to prevent
movement while working. The work-
pieces should be held together rmly
while welding. 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.
There must not be hazardous objects, 4.
such as utility lines or foreign objects,
nearby that will present a hazard
while working.
A barrier, such as a welding curtain 5.
or welding shroud should be put up
to protect others in the work area and
limit the spray of sparks.
