Assembly
Note

: Before carrying out any assembly or

disassembly of the unit please ensure that the
unit is not connected to the electrical supply.

Assembling the Face Mask

To assemble the mask bend in the top and side
flaps (Fig.1) and clip into place then attach the
handle and mask glass shield as shown in Fig.2.

other type.

The clear glass panel should be replaced when
it becomes badly pitted.

Warning!

NEVER look at an electric arc without

eye protection as this can injure the eyes
permanently. ALWAYS use a protection mask or
welding helmet.

Fitting the Carry Handle (Fig.3)

Fit the carry handle as shown in Fig.3 ensuring it
is fitted securely.

Fitting the Earth Clamp and Electrode Holder

Insert the plug on the end of the earth clamp
lead into the negative (-) socket (Fig.4)(A) and
twist in a clockwise direction to secure into
position. The plug on the end of the electrode
holder can be fitted into the positive (+) socket
(Fig.4)(B) in the same way.
