Mild steel : Use 75% Argon and 25% CO2 for reduced spatter and reduced penetration for thinner
materials. Do NOT USE Argon gas concentrations higher than 75% on steel. The result will be
extremely poor penetration, porosity, and brittleness of weld.
Mild Steel : Use CO2 for deeper penetration but increased spatter. (A CO2 regulator adapter will be
needed)
Stainless steel : Use a mixed gas consisting of Helium, Argon and CO2.
Aluminum or bronze : Use 100% Argon.
OPERATION
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper
installation of receptacle at the power source. This welder must be grounded while in use to
protect the operator from electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is properly
grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician. Do not cut off the grounding prong or
alter the plug in any way and do not use any adapter between the welder's power cord and
the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER switch is OFF then connect your
welder's power cord to a properly grounded 230 VAC (220V - 240V), 60 HZ, single phase, 50
amp power source.
1. POWER SWITCH
The power switch supplies electrical current to the welder. Whenever the power switch is in the ON
position, the welding circuit is activated. ALWAYS turn the power switch to the OFF position and
unplug the welder before performing any maintenance.
2. VOLTAGE SELECTOR
The voltage selector controls the welding voltage/heat. This unit has a 12 position voltage control.
Refer to the label inside the welder side door for recommended voltage selector settings for your
welding job.
3. WIRE SPEED CONTROL
The wire speed control adjusts the speed at which the wire is fed out of the welding torch. The wire
speed needs to be closely matched (tuned-in) to the rate at which it is being melted off. Some things
that affect wire speed selection are the type and diameter of the wire being used, the heat setting
selected, and the welding position to be used. Refer to the label inside the welder side door for
recommended wire speed settings for your welding job.
NOTE: The wire will feed faster without an arc. When an arc is being drawn, the wire speed will
slow down.
4. HOLDING THE TORCH
The best way to hold the welding torch is the way it feels most comfortable to you. While practicing
to use your new welder, experiment holding the torch in different positions until you find the one that
seems to work best for you.
5. POSITION OF THE TORCH TO THE WORK PIECE
There are two angles of the torch nozzle in relation to the work piece that must be consider when
welding.
