IDENTIFICATION KEY
A. Power Switch -This switch turns
the welding unit ON and OFF.
Make sure the power switch is
in the OFF position before
performing any maintenance on
the welding unit.
B. MIG Gun with Cable - The MIG
gun controls the delivery of
the welding wire to the
material to be welded. the
welding wire is fed through
the MIG gun with cable when
the MIG gun trigger is pulled. you will need to install a contact tip and
welding nozzle to the end of the MIG gun, as described later in this
manual, prior to welding.
C.
Thermal Indicator - The thermal indicator light will glow and the welding
until will shut down when the unit overheats. Once the unit cools to the
operating temperature the light will shut off. Wait another 15 minutes
before resuming welding with this unit.
D. 1/2 Switch – The switch is for the two main voltage choices. Refer to the
"set up" chart inside the wire feed compartment for the correct voltage
based on the welding operation.
E.
Wire Speed Dial - Use this dial to adjust the speed that the welding unit
feeds wire to the torch. The number 1 is the slowest wire feed speed, 10 is
the highest. You will need to adjust or ‘tune in’ your wire speed for
different welding conditions (thickness of metals, metal type, wire size,
etc.). When the wire speed is properly ‘tuned-in’ the welding wire will melt
into the material you are welding as quickly as it is fed through the
welding torch.
IMPORTANT! The wire will feed faster without an arc. When an arc is being
drawn, the wire speed will slow.
F.
Power Cord
G. Ground Clamp - Attaching the ground clamp to your workpiece ‘completes’
the welding current circuit. You must attach the ground clamp to the
metal you are welding. If the ground clamp is not connected to the metal
workpiece you intend to weld, the welding unit will not have a completed
circuit and you will be unable to weld. A poor connection at the ground
