Gun Cable: The welding Gun connects here.
The wire and welding current feeds to
the weld through here.
The welding Gun is energized whenever
the Power Switch is on.
Wire Speed Dial: This controls the speed
that the welding wire feeds out of the
welding Gun.
Adjust this according to the weld settings
chart to achieve a good weld.
Ground Cable: This connects to the base
metal to provide a good connection for
the current to travel back to the welder.
Power Cord: Plug the Power Cord into a
properly grounded 120 V~ outlet, on at
least a 20 amp dedicated circuit with
delayed action type circuit breaker or
fuses.
Current Switch: This controls the output
amperage of the welder.
Adjust this according to the weld settings
chart to achieve a good weld.
Power Switch: This turns on power to the
welding Gun and internal cooling fan.
The welding Gun is energized whenever
the Power Switch is on.
Overload Indicator: This lights up if
duty cycle work period is exceeded,
overheating the welder. Rest the Gun
on an electrically non-conductive, heat-
resistant surface, such as a concrete
slab, well clear of the ground clamp
while allowing the welder to cool with the
Power Switch on, so the Fan can help
cool the welder. Once the welder cools
enough to be used again, use shorter
welding periods and longer rest periods
to prevent needless wear.
