Operation
1. Prepare the material that you will be welding using a grinder or
wire brush ensuring that everywhere you will be welding and the
location for the ground clamp, is shiny, bare metal.
2. Connect the ground clamp to the material to be welded assuring
a good electrical connection
3. Move the wire feed control knob to the appropriate speed for the
type of welding and thickness of the material to be welded.
4. Use appropriate protective equipment, ensuring that eyes and
skin are protected from injury on the operator as well as any
people in the work area.
5. Turn on the Tactical Welder Power Pack switch.
6. Squeeze the trigger on the gun to power the weld tip and activate
the wire feed mechanism. MIG welding can be performed if the gas
tube at the power connector end of the gun cable is connected
to a gas supply at proper pressure and flow rate. As the weld wire
contacts the work piece a welding arc is established. You can
adjust the wire feed speed with the thumbwheel right on the gun
to control your weld.
7. When the welding job is complete; turn the Tactical welder off,
disconnect the ground clamp and gun connectors. Allow the gun
to cool before handling without protective equipment.
8. Inspect the Tactical Welder equipment for any damage and clean
where necessary.
9. If the battery charge was depleted, charge the unit.
10. Store the unit, in the back pack, in a dry location maintained
between -40
°
C and +60
°
C temperature.

IMPORTANT: Keep in mind the duty cycle capabilities of the Tactical welder as shown in the weld time chart below. Weld operations
of 10 seconds or less are recommended with a minimum of 20 seconds between each weld operation. Do not run the unit for more
than 15 seconds without adequate off time of 30 seconds. This 33% duty cycle maximizes the life of the battery and avoids over
temperature shut down. It is best to complete your welding operation with 10 second weld cycles followed by a minimum of 20
seconds of off time for chipping and cleaning each weld.
