Gas hoses, regulator and gas cylinder connections

1. Remove cartons, bags, or foam containing the welder and accessories.
2. Check the contents with the packaging list below.
After unpacking the welder unit, inspect for any damage that may have occurred during transit.
Check for loose, missing, or damaged parts. A shipping damage claim must be filled with carrier.

Factory polarity setting (electrode negative) is for flux-core welding (no shielding gas is required). In  
this process the RED gun lead is connected to negative ("-") polarity terminal and the ground cable
is connected to the positive ("+") terminal.
For MIG welding (solid wire) using shielding gas, the RED gun lead is connected to positive ("+") and
the ground cable is connected to negative ("-").

• Connect the gas hose to the gas solenoid valve on the back pa

nel of the welder.

• Connect the other end to the regulator connected to the shiel

ding gas cylinder.

• Slowly open the cylinder valve by turning it counter-clockwis

e until the cylinder pressure gauge 

fixes the cylinder pressure.

• Slowly turn the adjustment knob clockwise to increase gas flo

w to 20 CFM. Turn it

counter-clockwise to reduce the gas flow.

• Gas flow can be heard at the end of the gun when the trigger 

is activated.
