installation (continUeD)
Do not remove or alter grounding prong in any manner. In the
event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path
of least resistance for electrical shock.
Do not permit fingers to touch the terminals of
plug when installing or removing from outlet.
Plug must be plugged into matching outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Do not modify plug provided. If it will not fit in outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Inspect tool cords periodically, and if damaged, have repaired by
an authorized service facility.
Green (or green and yellow) conductor in cord is the grounding
wire. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the green (or green and yellow) wire to
a live terminal.
Where a 2-prong wall receptacle is encountered, it must be
replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle installed in
accordance with National Electric Code and local codes and
ordinances.
This work should be performed by a qualified
electrician.
A temporary 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter (See Figure 4)
is available for connecting plugs to a two pole outlet if it is properly
grounded.
Do not use a 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter unless
permitted by local and national codes and ordinances.
(A 3-prong to 2-prong grounding adapter is not permitted in
Canada.) Where permitted, the rigid green tab or terminal on the
side of the adapter must be securely connected to a permanent
electrical ground such as a properly grounded water pipe, a
properly grounded outlet box or a properly grounded wire system.
Many cover plate screws, water pipes and outlet boxes are not
properly grounded. To ensure proper ground, grounding means
must be tested by a qualified electrician.
extension cords
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage
and loss of power.
Wires of the extension cord must be of sufficient size to carry
the current and maintain adequate voltage.
Use the table to determine the minimum wire size (A.W.G.)
extension cord.
Use only 3-wire extension cords having 3-prong grounding
type plugs and 3-pole receptacles which accept the tool plug.
If the extension cord is worn, cut, or damaged in any way,
replace it immediately.

electrical connections
Refer to Figure 5.
Refer to electrical schematic and operation control diagrams for
the following controls:
The ON/OFF Switch controls power to the unit.
The Weld Button connects transformer power to welder jaws.
The Weld Limit Switch disconnects power to the jaws when
the weld is complete.
The Anneal Switch is used to heat the blade as needed when
annealing.
The Weld Pressure Adjustment Knob applies force to the blade
through the welder jaws.
The Grinder ON/OFF switch provides power to the grinder
motor.
