DISPOSING OF THE PACKAGING
Recycling packaging reduces the need for landfill and raw materials. Reuse of the recycled material
decreases pollution in the environment. Please recycle packaging where facilities exist. Check with your local
council authority for recycling advice.
DISPOSING OF THE WELDER
Welders that are no longer usable should not be disposed of with household waste but in an environmentally
friendly way. Please recycle where facilities exist. Check with your local council authority for recycling advice.

DUTY CYCLE:
The term duty cycle indicates the percentage welding time available at the output current for each 10 min
period over 4 hours,
The specification plate on the machine list three given ratings at a given current and voltage.
NOTE: Amps refer to the Current setting 180 duty cycle shown
5%
60%
100%
180 - Amps
90-Amps
0-Amps
27.2 Volts
23.6 Volts
22.8 Volts
For example this means when the machine is set at a current of 180 Amps it can only weld for One and a
half Minutes in a Ten minute period.
The power source is protected by a built in temperature protection device,
This will activate if the machine is operated in excess of its amperage and duty cycle rating.

Special note:
If this welders duty cycle is exceeded the welder will enter “thermal overload” which will
automatically stop the welding output in order to protect, both the user and the welder. You will know
the welder has gone into thermal overload when the thermal overload light is illuminated. The
welder will then cool itself down, and once the thermal overload indicator light is no longer
illuminated, welding can then re-commence.
Please note. Exceeding the machine’s duty cycle, cannot be considered grounds for warranty or
return.
