PO WER SOURCE CONNECT ION
POWER REQUIREMENTS
This welder is designed to operate on a proper-
ly grounded 230 volt, 60 Hz, single-phase alter-
nating current (AC) power source fused with a
50 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It
is recommendedthat a
electrician ver-
ify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into
which the welder will be plugged and
m
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 198
volts AC or greater than 240 volts AC. Contact
a
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
W ARNING
High voltage danger from power source!
Consult a
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 checkedby a
electrician. Do not
cut
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 230V AC, 60 Hz, single
phase, 50 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 s
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 pre-
pare to weld with your new wire feed welder.
UNPACKING THE WELDER
1. Remove any cartons or bags containing
parts/accessories. (Most parts are shipped
INSIDE the welder door.)
2. Open the cartons or bags packed with your
welder and inspect their contents for damage.
3. Layout the parts and compare them to the
the packing list in Table 3 to familiarize your-
self with the parts and what they are called.
This will help you when reading the manual.
PACKING LIST
Table 3 contains a list of the items you will d
packed in the carton.
ASSEMBLE THE FACE SHIELD
1. Insert the upper tongue of the handle
into the upper slot on the face shield.
2. Align the second tab on the handle with
the second slot in the face shield by push-
ing the bottom of the handle in towards
the face mask, while at the same time
pushing upwards. (Alignment
of the sec-
ond tab is made easier by applying pres-
sure to the point shown below.)
