HOT METAL AND TOOLS WILL BURN!
•
Electric welding heats metal and tools to temperatures that will cause severe burns!
•
Use protective, heat resistant gloves and clothing when using Eastwood or any other welding equipment. Never touch welded work
surface, torch tip or nozzle until they have completely cooled.
FLYING METAL CHIPS CAN CAUSE INJURY!
•
Grinding and sanding will eject metal chips, dust, debris and sparks at high velocity. To prevent eye injury wear approved safety
glasses.
•
Wear an OSHA-approved respirator when grinding or sanding.
•
Read all manuals included with specific grinders, sanders or other power tools used before and after the welding process.
Be aware of all power tool safety warnings.
INADEQUATE WIRING CAN CAUSE FIRE AND INJURY!
•
Verify that the facility power source has properly rated wiring to handle power requirements of this Welder.
STICK WELD SET-UP
Set the Welder on a flat surface in the general area where the Welder will be used. A dedicated cart is best.
• Set the Process Selector Switch
[A]
on the Front Panel to ‘Stick/TIG’.
• Locate the Ground Clamp with Cable and connect the plug on the cable end into the Negative (–) receptacle on the Lower Right Front Panel of the Welder.
To connect the plug; align the key of the brass ferrule with the notch of the receptacle at the 12:00 position then rotate 1/2 turn Clockwise to lock.
• Locate the Electrode Holder with Cable and connect the plug on the cable end into the Positive ( + ) Connection Receptacle on the Lower Front Panel of the
Welder. To connect the plug; align the key of the brass ferrule with the notch of the receptacle at the 12:00 position then rotate 1/2 turn Clockwise to lock.
• Connect the Welder to a power source. This Welder requires a minimum 20 Amp, 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz Protected Circuit.
• Insert the electrode to be used into the Electrode Holder.
• Connect the Ground Clamp to a clean bare metal surface of the part to be welded.
• Turn on the Power Switch at the Rear Panel of the Welder.
• The Welder is now ready to use.
