Chapter 3
Step 1: Use the ground clamp to connect the grounding cable and work piece, or connect to the metal
carriages (as on work table). Make sure the clamp is in full contact with the work piece, and the
surface is free of rust and paint.
Step 2: Select the welding current and adjust the positions of the MIN/MAX and 1/2 switches (use higher
welding current for thicker material).
Step 3: Check the position of the power switch (position must be OFF), then insert the inlet wire to
the socket (8154700 voltage is 120VAC, 8154718 voltage is 230VAC, rated current of
socket ≥ 25A).
Step 4: Discharge the nozzle cover and contact tip at the head of welding torch, pull the
soft pipe.
Step 5: Make sure that the welding tongs that clamp the rod are not in contact with any grounding objects.
Turn the ON/OFF switch to the ON position – the power lamp
will light (green).
Step 6: Press and hold the torch button until the distance between the wire and welding
torch is 30 mm, then release button.
Step 7: Turn off the power. Fix the contact tip and nozzle cover onto the welding torch
(wire must go through the contact tip and nozzle cover).
Step 8: Turn on the power and press the switch a few times. Adjust the speed by
turning the wire feed speed knob, in relation to the position of the welding current selector.
Step 9: Orient yourself on the area to be welded, and place the face shield over your eyes.
Step 10: Press and hold the torch button as you stroke the area to be welded. The electrode wire
will ignite the arc.
Step 11: Once the arc is ignited, tilt the electrode wire forward at an angle of approximately 35°
(see fig. 3-3).
Step 12: When the weld is complete, lift the electrode wire clearly away from any grounded object.
Set your face shield down and turn the power switch to OFF.
Step 13: Unplug the Power Cord from the electrical outlet.
