DUTY CYCLE:
Special note:
If this welders duty cycle is exceeded the welder will enter “thermal overload” which will automatically
stop the welding output in order to protect, both the user and the welder. You will know the welder has
gone into thermal overload when the overload error signal show on screen.
The welder should not be welding for 10~15 minutes to cool down with the fan running. When operating
the machine again, the welding output current or the duty cycle should be reduced. Please note.
Exceeding the machine’s duty cycle, cannot be considered grounds for warranty or return.
The term duty cycle indicates the percentage welding time available at the output current for each 10 min period
over 4 hours, The specification plate on the machine list three given ratings at a given current and voltage.

For example this means when the machine is set at is highest current of 200 Amps it can weld for 1 minute in a
Ten minute period. The power source is protected by a built in temperature protection device, This will activate if
the machine is operated in excess of its amperage and duty cycle rating.
