Installation
LOCATION
Selecting the proper location can
significantly increase performance,
reliability and life of the arc welder.
l For best results locate welder in a
clean and dry environment. Dust
and dirt in the welder retain
moisture and increase wear of
moving parts.
l Place welder in an area with at least
twelve inches (305 mm) of ventilation
space at both the front and rear of
unit. Keep all obstructions out of this
ventilation space.
l Store welding wire in a clean, dry
location with low humidity to
prevent oxidation.
l Use a properly grounded receptacle
for the welder and ensure welder is
the only load on power supply
circuit. Refer to chart on page 1 for
correct circuit capacity.
l Use of an extension cord is not
recommended for electric arc welding
machines. Voltage drop in the
extension cord may significantly
degrade performance of the welder.

Assembly
TORCH INSTALLATION (See Fig. 2)
1. Make sure unit is off and unplugged.
2. Feed the connectors for the torch
switch through the hole in the control
panel. These leads are to be fed up
over the polarity studs and through the
hanger on the center wall.
3. Insert the brass torch connector
through the hole in the control panel
and into the drive deck. Make sure the
connector is inserted fully into the
drive deck. Loosen the torch clamp
knob a few turns if the connector will
not insert fully. Tighten the torch
clamp knob securely after the brass
torch connector is fully inserted.
