Welding
Caution: Before arc welding, read and understand all safety precautions and warnings
listed on pages 2 through 5.
1. If using non-flux core wire, connect and secure the Argon / CO2 gas hose to the rear of
the MIG Welder. (If using flux core wire, protective gas is not required.)
2. Attach the Ground Cable with Clamp (14) 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.
3. Set the desired welding current (30~120 amps) for the type of
metal being welded using the Min/Max Switch and 1/2 Power
Level Switch.
Refer to the power setting table on the next page. Thinner metals use lower current.
Heavier metals use higher current.
4. Verify that the On/Off Switch is in the OFF position, then plug the MIG Welder Line
Cord into a dedicated, 120 VAC, 20 amp line with delayed action type circuit breaker
or fuses. 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, 8 AWG wire; Over 50 feet, 6 AWG wire.
