4. Turn the Welder Power to ON.
5. Holding the Electrode Holder by the insulated handle,
slowly bring the end of the electrode to the desired
starting point of the weld. When the electrode contacts
the workpiece, an arc will be produced.
NOTE:
Thoroughly read and understand warnings regarding
protective equipment and clothing prior to this step.
6. When the weld is completed, distance the Electrode
Holder from the workpiece. This will terminate the
electric arc.
7. Turn the Welder to OFF.
8. Unplug the Welder from the power source.
DUTY CYCLE
To avoid damage and personal injury, DO NOT weld for
longer than the prescribed Duty Cycle Time.

HELPFUL TIPS
1. Thoroughly clean surfaces prior to welding. Brush or
sand off all paint, adhesive and oxidation.
2. Weld at a constant pace. Abrupt motions or speed
changes will change the weld quality and depth.
3. Remove slag with chipping hammer to expose the weld.
4. Adjust amperage to accommodate metal thickness.
In general:
a. Thicker or harder metals require higher amperage
to establish a proper/strong weld.
b. Thinner or softer metal require lower amperage to
establish a proper/strong weld.
5. Adjust welding speed to accommodate metal thickness.
In general:
a. Thicker or harder metals require longer contact to
establish a proper/strong weld.
b. Thinner or softer metals require shorter intervals of
contact to establish a proper/strong weld.
6. To maintain electric arc, the electrode should not be
removed to a distance larger than the diameter of the
electrode in use. For example, if a 3/32" diameter
electrode is used, a distance less than 3/32" is needed
to maintain arc.
7. This machine is recommended for welding steel/metal
up to 1/8" thick.
