POWER SOURCE CONNECTION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This welder is designed to operate on a proper-
ly grounded 120 volt, 60Hz, single-phase alter-
nating current (AC) power source fused with a
20 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It
is recommended that a qualified electrician ver-
ify 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
when welding.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS WELDER if the
ACTUAL power source voltage is less than 105
volts AC or greater than 132 volts AC. Contact
a qualified electrician if this problem exists.
Improper performance and/or damage to the
welder will result if operated on inadequate or
excessive power.
CONNECT TO POWER SOURCE
WARNING
High voltage danger from power source!
Consult a qualified electrician for proper instal-
lation of receptacle at the power source.
This welder must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock. If you
are not sure if your outlet is properly grounded,
have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not
cut off the grounding prong or alter the plug in
any way and do not use any adapters between
the welder’s power cord and the power source
receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF
then connect your welder’s power cord to a
properly grounded 120 VAC, 60 Hz, single
phase, 20 amp power source.
EXTENSION CORDS
For optimum welder performance, an exten-
sion cord should not be used unless absolutely
necessary. If necessary, care must be taken in
selecting an extension cord appropriate for use
with your specific welder.
Select a properly grounded extension cord that
will mate directly with the power source recep-
tacle and the welder power cord without the
use of adapters. Make certain that the exten-
sion is properly wired and in good electrical
condition. Extension cords must be a #12
gauge cord at the smallest. Do not use an
extension cord over 25 ft. in length.
ASSEMBLING THE WELDER
The following procedures describe the process
required to assemble, install, maintain, and
prepare to weld with your new wire feed
welder.
UNPACKING THE WELDER
