.
Power Indicator LED
– Illuminates Green when the unit is plugged in and The
Power Switch is set to the ON position
(Fig B)
.
Thermal Protection LED
– Illuminates Amber when the unit has reached the
maximum internal component temperature
(Fig B)
. This occurs when the Duty
Cycle has been exceeded. The Welder will automatically
shut off however the fan will continue running to cool the
overheated components. When a safe temperature has
been reached, the Welder will automatically switch the
welder output back on.
Amperage Adjustment Knob
– The Amperage
Adjustment Knob
(Fig B)
allows the output amperage to be
adjusted from 20 to 80 Amps.
“Stick”/TIG Switch
– Located at the upper left of the
Front Panel
(Fig B)
. To operate the unit for “Stick”
Welding, position the switch to the right. For using with the
optional TIG Torch Kit, position switch to the left.

DUTY CYCLE
The rated Duty Cycle refers to the amount of welding that can be done within an amount of time. The Eastwood Arc 80 has a Duty Cycle
of 20% at 95 Amps. It is easiest to look at your welding time in blocks of 10 Minutes and the Duty Cycle being a percentage of that 10
Minutes. If welding at 80 Amps with a 20% Duty Cycle, within a 10 Minute block of time you can weld for 2 Minutes with 8 Minutes of
cooling for the welder.
If the Duty Cycle is exceeded, the Welder will automatically shut off however the fan will continue running to cool the overheated
components. When a safe temperature has been reached, the Welder will automatically switch the welder output back on. To increase
the Duty Cycle you can turn down the Amperage Output control.
