b) Do not use the power tool if the switch does not turn it on and off. Any
power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch is dangerous and must
be repaired
c) Disconnect the plug from the power source and/or the battery pack
from the power tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally
d) Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to operate
the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users
e) Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may affect the
power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools
f) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with
sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control
g) Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with
these instructions, taking into account the working conditions and the
work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation
Service
a) Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only
identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the power
tool is maintained
Welding Safety
• Welding produces toxic fumes and can reduce oxygen levels in the work area.
Always work in a well ventilated area. Avoid inhaling welding fumes and use a
suitable respirator where appropriate.
• Some metal parts may have galvanised, lead, cadmium, or other coatings.
Attempting to weld through these coatings can produce highly toxic fumes.
Always remove all coatings before welding.
• If you experience irritation to the lungs, throat, or eyes whilst welding, STOP
IMMEDIATELY and seek fresh air.
• Welding produces extremely high levels of UV light. To prevent eye damage,
ALWAYS wear an approved welding face mask. Under no circumstances look
directly at the arc
• If there is a possibility of other people approaching the work area, erect suitable
screening to protect them from the light / glare.
• To prevent skin damage, ALWAYS wear a suitable fire-proof long sleeve jacket,
heat proof gloves, and cap. Keep covered up.
• Always remove any flammable materials (e.g. cigarette lighter, matches) from
your clothing before welding.
• Always keep a fire extinguisher nearby when welding. Sparks and accidental
contacts can cause fires.
• Only weld when all workpieces and work area are dry.
• Do not weld sealed containers (e.g. fuel tanks, air tanks, oil drums).
• The heat generated from welding can cause sealed containers to burst without
warning.
• Be aware of transferred heat. Metal parts can conduct heat away from the work
area, and cause ignition of flammable materials.
• Be aware that welded parts will remain hot for some time after joining.
• Allow to cool fully before handling or leaving unattended.
• Never weld in the presence of flammable gasses, liquids, or dust
• Always ensure that you have a responsible person nearby to alert you to any
fire, or to call help in an emergency.
• Use of welding machines will create powerful magnetic fields. This may disturb
the operation of sensitive electronic equipment. Pacemaker wearers should
consult a doctor before using a welding machine.
• Do not overload power supply. Check your mains wiring is capable of delivering
the required currents (see specification) safely.

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its
features and functions
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts
are missing or damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use
this tool
Assembly
Assembling the mask
1. Carefully slot the handle into the fixing slots on the mask. Ensure both
nibs engage for a secure fit
2. Remove protective wrapping from the visor and slot the visor into
place. Take care not to scratch the visor, and ensure the visor engages
fully with the clips so that it fully covers the viewing panel and cannot
be dislodged
Connecting to a Power Supply
• ONLY connect this welder to a power supply capable of providing the specified
voltage
• If connecting to a generator, check the specification of the generator first
Before Use
• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment for the job that you
are to do. Use of this machine requires a welding mask, gloves, heat resistant
clothing and, if appropriate, a respirator
• Always ensure that you have an appropriate fire extinguisher near to the work
area
• Always inspect your machine for damage or wear. Pay particular attention to
leads and cables. If any damage is found DO NOT USE
• Check that all casings or covers are properly closed and secured
• Position the welder to ensure that it will not move, or tip, in use. Ensure that
there is at least 500mm of clear space around the welder, to allow proper
ventilation
Operating Instructions
Warning: Always unplug the welding machine from the mains supply and allow to
cool fully before attempting to fit or replace any part
Setting the machine
• To achieve a good quality weld the Current Control Knob (1) must be set
correctly
• Turning the control knob clockwise will increase the welding current, turning the
knob anti-clockwise will reduce the welding current
Welding rod selection
• In order to produce a good quality weld, the correct type of welding rod must be
used. Welding rods are available in a variety of thicknesses and materials, and
with a range of coatings
• Refer to rod manufacturers guidelines to select the correct rod for your
requirements
Duty Cycle
• This machine is not designed to weld constantly. Excessive continuous welding
will cause overheating and damage to internal components
