INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
Your new welder is designed for repair, maintenance, and sheet metal fabrication. The welder
consists of a single-phase power transformer, and a unique built-in control/feeder.
Now you can weld 18-gauge steel sheet metal up to 3/16 inch with a single pass. Welds thicker metal
with beveling and multiple pass.
Your new wirefeed welder is equipped with infinite wire speed control to accurately select the proper
wire feed rate needed for various welding conditions. Internal components are thermostatically
protected.
This welder is designed for use with Flux Core Welding (Gasless) wire only. As delivered from the
factory, this welder can weld with .030” (.8mm) diameter flux-cored wire. A starter spool of .030” flux-
cored wire is included.
WELDER PERFORMANCE
Your welder has been designed to weld on steel from approximately 18 gauge up to 3/16 inch thick.
Thinner and thicker material can be welded depending on the experience and technique of the welder
and the type of welding wire being used. From the factory, this welder is set up to run .030" flux-cored
steel welding wires (a starter spool of .030” wire is included).

POWER REQUIREMENTS
This welder is designed to operate on a properly grounded power source fused with a minimum 20
amp fuse or circuit breaker. If you modify the power cord in any way, other than attaching the proper
input plug, you will void the manufacturer’s warranty. It is recommended that a qualified electrician
verify the actual voltage at the receptacle into which the welder will be plugged and confirm that the
receptacle is properly fused and grounded. The use of the proper circuit size can eliminate nuisance
circuit breaker tripping while welding.
