POWER INDICATOR LIGHT 

In the “OFF” position no power is being supplied to the torch.    In the “ON” position power is 
supplied to the main transformer and control circuit. 

PROTECTION INDICATOR LIGHT 

If the duty cycle of the welder is exceeded, the internal temperature will exceed safe temperatures 

and the machine will shut down. The Thermal overload light will come on indicating this. Leave the 

unit on and allow 15 minutes for cool down before the light will go off and the temperature to fall into 

an allowable operating range. 

WELDING VOLTAGE 

The voltage control 

is on the front panel of machine. Refer to the “set up” chart inside the wire feed 

compartment for initial adjustment settings. You have 12 voltage options to help tune in the arc. DO 

NOT SWITCH UNDER LOAD OR WHILE WELDING. 

Negative (-) Output Connection 

The ground clamp is connected to this quick connect when MIG welding. Connect the Weld Power 

Cable to this connection when Flux Core Welding. 

Positive (+) Output Connection 

The Weld Power Cable is connected to this quick connect when MIG welding. Connect the Weld 

ground clamp to this connection when Flux Core Welding. 

GAS REGULATOR/FLOWGAUGE 

Installs  on  the  shielding  gas  cylinder  for  MIG  welding  with  solid  wires.  The  regulator  controls  the 

compressed gas and allows you to adjust the flow rate of the gas.   

GAS HOSE 

The gas hose connects to the regulator/flowgauge and delivers the shielding gas from the shielding 

gas bottle to the welder. 

GROUND CABLE AND CLAMP 

The ground cable and clamp are attached to the work piece to complete the circuit allowing the flow 

of current needed to weld. 

MIG TORCH 

The welding wire is driven through the welding cable and torch to the work piece. It is attached to 

the drive system. The trigger activates the drive motor. 

SPOT WELD TIMER 

The Spot Weld Timer allows you to set a time from 0.1 sec to 9.9 seconds for consistent spot welds. 

SPOOL GUN SELECTOR SWITCH 

When  normal  MIG  welding,  this  switch  should  be  up  in  MIG  torch  position.  When  using  the  spool 

gun, the switch should be down in the spool gun position. 

WIRE FEED SPEED   

Adjustment of the wire feed speed in the MIG Torch or SPOOL GUN mode. Refer to the "set up" 

chart inside the wire feed compartment for initial adjustment settings. 

MIG SOCKET 

 

The MIG socket accepts the MIG torch and transfers weld power, wire and shielding gas to the MIG 

torch. 

WELD POWER CABLE 

Use the weld power cable to transfer weld power from the Output Connection to the Wire Drive 

Assembly.   

MIG Torch 

Delivers wire, weld power and shielding gas to the arc.
