ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

Flux Welding:

If you intend to use this welder with flux wire (flux welding), set up the polarity as follows:
• Black (negative) wire is connected to red (positive) terminal connection on welder.
• Red (positive) wire is connected to black (negative) terminal connector
on welder.
After the polarity has been set up properly, plug the power cord into its 120
volt, grounded electrical outlet. Turn the welder ON. Point the gun nozzle
handle away from all objects. Squeeze trigger switch on the gun nozzle
until the welding wire feeds through the tip of the nozzle handle (about 2
inches). If necessary, move the nozzle handle slightly in a circular motion
to help feed the welding wire properly out of the head of the nozzle.

MIG Welding:

If you intend to use this welder with MIG wire (MIG welding), set up the polarity as follows:
• Black (negative) wire is connected to black (negative) terminal connection on welder.
• Red (positive) wire is connected to red (positive) terminal connector
on welder.
All of the below listed components are not included but are required for
proper instillation and set up for use when MIG welding. If any of the
below components are not used, you should not proceed with any MIG
welding application. Please consult your local retailer for further
assistance.
Additional components needed for MIG welding:
• Bottle or cylinder of argon gas or CO . Must be compatible with the bottle or cylinder you intend
to use and meet all local and state safety regulations.
• Gas regulator: Must be used whenever an external gas supply is used. Make certain that any
regulator used is compatible with the external bottle or cylinder you intend to use and the
regulator meets all local and state safety regulations. It's recommended that any gas regulator
which is used have a plastic adapter washer seated in the fitting that attaches to the bottle or
cylinder you intend to use for your specific welding application.
• Adjustable wrench: Used to properly secure the regulator (regulator nut) on the bottle or
cylinder of CO or argon gas (shielding gas).
• MIG welding wire: Consult your local retailer for information on which welding wire is best
suited for your specific welding application.
• Safety chain: Consult your local retailer for information on which safety chain/securing
device is best suited for the bottle or cylinder you plan to use for your specific welding
application. Please make sure that all local and state safety regulations are followed so that
you can properly secure your external gas supply.
• Welding cart: Must be used for proper transportation of welding tool and any bottle or cylinder
used with this item. Please reference your welding car's instruction manual to make sure your
welding cart is capable of transporting the size of bottle or cylinder you intend to use.
NOTE: Any bottle or cylinder must meet all local and state safety regulation standards.
MATERIAL

To properly secure the external bottle or cylinder, a safety chain must
be used to secure the bottle or cylinder to a wall or other stationary/
stable support. Once the bottle or cylinder is properly secured, check
that the safety chain is secured and would prevent the bottle or
cylinder from tipping or falling over. Insulate the base of cylinder from the work ground.
