NOTE:
If you have never welded before
or have little experience, a full face
helmet is recommended. Both hands
are needed to stabilize and control the
angle and arc length of the electrode.
MODEL WT1000
1. Remove the lens retainer from the
face shield with a regular screwdriver
by prying against the shield and post
of the lens retainer.
2. Remove the protective film covering
from both sides of each lens cover. Put
one clear lens cover on each side of
the shaded lens. Place these three
lenses together into the face shield
and secure with the lens retainer. The
lens retainer should snap into the
second notch in the face shield.
3. Position one of the holes in the
adjustment arm over the pins which
are located in the ear area of the face
shield. These adjustment arms control
the closeness of fit and can be easily
repositioned if necessary.
4. Position the headgear inside the face
shield. Assemble the helmet by
inserting the stud screw through the
headgear and shield into the tension
nut as shown. Do not tighten tension
nut completely.
5. Trial fit the welding helmet. Adjust
headgear ratchet band to a
comfortable position and lower the
face shield. If the shield is too far or
too close to the face, use a different
hole in the adjustment arm. Adjust the
tension nuts so that helmet can be
easily lowered over the face by
nodding the head.

Shielded Metal Arc Welder
bare wire under the clamp block.
Tighten hex bolt or nut making sure
bare wire is clamped securely.
ELECTRODE HOLDER (ALL MODELS)
1. Remove insulation handle from the
holder body by pulling the two
pieces apart.
2. Slide the other weld cable through
the handle.
3. Loosen the wire clamping screw and
slide the bare cord wire under the
clamp block. Tighten the clamping
screw making sure the wire is secure.
4. Slide the handle over the electrode
holder body and press to stop. Make
sure the handle is secure and there
is no exposed metal on the holder.
HANDSHIELD (ALL MODELS EXCEPT
WS1020)
1. Cut retainer stiffeners and
detachable handle away from shield.
Trim the excess plastic to remove
sharp edges.
2. Insert filter lens.
3. Attach the stiffeners over the pins on
the lens retainers (See Figure 7).
4. To attach the handle, place shield on
a flat surface and press handle into
place (See Figure 8). *Not necessary
for models WS0900 or WS090001.
1. Be sure to read,
understand, and comply
with all precautions in the
General Safety
Information section. Be sure to read
the entire section entitled Welding
Guidelines prior to using this
equipment.
2. Turn welder off and plug into
appropriate receptacle:
115v-15 amp - 1/16 electrodes
115v-20 amp - 5/64 electrodes
3. Verify that the surfaces of metals to
be joined are free from dirt, rust,
paint, oil, scale or other contaminants.
These contaminants make welding
difficult and cause poor welds.
All persons
operating this
equipment or in the area while
equipment is in use must wear
protective welding gear including: eye
protection with proper shade as
specified in the following chart, flame
resistant clothing, leather welding
gloves, and full foot protection.
If heating, welding, or
cutting materials that
are galvanized, zinc
plated, lead, or
cadmium plated refer to the General
Safety Information Section for
instructions. Extremely toxic fumes are
created when these metals are heated.
4. Connect the work clamp to the
work piece. Make sure the contact is
on bare metal and not obstructed
by paint, varnish, corrosion, or non-
metallic materials.
5. Insert the exposed part of the
electrode rod (the end with no flux)
into the jaws of the electrode holder.
6. Set the amperage adjustment knob,
or the Low/High switch to the
proper amperage for the electrode
rod diameter. Refer to the
following chart for proper electrode
current settings.
The electrode
holder and rod are
electrically “live” (current potential)
when the welder is on.
