Installation
loCation
Selecting the proper location can significantly increase
performance, reliability and life of the arc welder.
u
For best results locate welder in a clean and dry
environment. Dust and dirt in the welder retain moisture and
increase wear of moving parts.
u
Place welder in an area with at least twelve inches (305 mm)
of ventilation space at both the front and rear of unit. Keep
all obstructions out of this ventilation space.
u
Store welding wire in a clean, dry location with low humidity
to prevent oxidation.
u
Use a properly grounded receptacle for the welder and
ensure welder is the only load on power supply circuit. Refer
to chart on page 1 for correct circuit capacity.
u
Use of an extension cord is not recommended for electric
arc welding machines. Voltage drop in the extension cord
may significantly degrade performance of the welder.

Assembly
torCH installation (see Figure 2)
1. Make sure unit is off and unplugged.
2. Feed the connectors for the torch switch through the hole
in the control panel. These leads are to be fed up over the
polarity studs and through the hanger on the center wall.
3. Insert the brass torch connector through the hole in the
control panel and into the drive deck. Make sure the
connector is inserted fully into the drive deck. Loosen the
torch clamp knob a few turns if the connector will not insert
fully. Tighten the torch clamp knob securely after the brass
torch connector is fully inserted.
4. Connect the torch switch connectors to the two 1/4 inch
terminals in the center wall. Polarity is not important. Make
sure these wires do not interfere with the polarity studs or
drive deck.
