•
Ensure all flammable materials are removed the work area
•

Step 1:
Connect work clamp onto metal to be welded, or to the metal workbench where the object is mounted and electrically connected.
Step 2:
Before plugging in, adjust the amperage and wire feed speed according to material type and thickness, and the wire size.
Step 3:
Check the power switch is in the
OFF
position, and then plug the power cable into the electrical outlet.
Step 4:
While holding the torch with the wire and tip clearly out of the way of any grounded objects, turn the power switch to
ON
position.
Step 5:
Position yourself in the area to be welded, and then place the face shield over your eyes.
Step 6:
Press (and hold) the torch button and stroke the area to be welded with the
electrode wire to ignite the arc.
Step 7:
Once the arc is ignited, tilt the electrode wire forward at an angle of
approximately 35° (as shown in

Step 8:
When the weld is complete, release the torch button and lift the wire clearly
away from any grounded object, set the Face Shield down and turn the
Power Switch to the “
