2.
Place the shaded lens into the space
provided on the inside of the face shield.
3.
Screw the lens retaining
nuts into the
holes to either side of the lens until they
are tight against
lens.
4.
Insert threaded
peg on shield handle into
hole on face shield. Press firmly until
threaded
peg and smaller peg below it
are locked into place.
5.
From inside of shield, screw the shield
handle nut tightly onto peg threads.
See F_ur e 2 for face shield assembly.

INSTALLING
THE HANDLE
1.
Insert the tabs of the welder handle into the
slots provided on the top of the welder.
2. Insert a large flat head screw (included
in
the accessories
bag) into each hole on the
top of the welder
handle.
3.
With a flat tip screwdriver,
securely
tighten
both screws.

INSTALLING
THE FEET
Locate the two black plastic feet for the
welder. (The front foot is slightly larger than
the back foot.)
1.
Lay the welder on its side.
2.
Align the holes of the front foot with the
front screw holes on the bottom of the
welder. The curved face of the front foot
should face the front of the welder.
3.
Insert the two Phillips head screws (includ-
ed in the accessories bag) into the holes.
4.
With a Phillips head screwdriver,
securely
tighten both screws.
5.
Align the holes of the back foot with the
rear screw holes on the bottom of the
welder. The curved face of the back foot
should face the rear of the welder.
6.
Insert the two Phillips head screws
(included
in the accessories
bag) into the
holes.
7.
With a Phillips head screwdriver,
securely
tighten both screws. (see Figure 4)

SHIELDING
GAS
The shielding
gas plays an extremely
important
role in the MIG welding
process.
It
is critical that the molten weld puddle be
shielded
from the atmosphere.
The shielding
gas creates a protective
pocket around the
weld puddle which keeps impurities
in the air
from infecting
the weld. Inadequate
shielding
will result in porous, brittle welds.
Although
there are many gasses and gas
mixtures available
for MIG welding, the
following
recommendations
are based on the
electrical
output characteristics
and metal
thickness
capabilities
of this specific
MIG welder.
Gas Selection
For Steel Welding
With
Steel Wire
For either mild or low carbon (High Strength
Structural)
steel, use a gas mixture of 75%
Argon and 25% Carbon Dioxide. DO NOT
USE Argon gas concentrations higher than
75% on steel. The result will be extremely
poor penetration, porosity, and brittleness
of weld.
This gas mixture helps to prevent burn
through and distortion
on very thin steel yet
provides
good penetration
on thicker
steel.
Its ability to minimize
spatter results in clean,
smooth weld appearances.
In addition,
it
provides
good puddle control when welding
vertically
or overhead.
