12. Proper cylinder care. Secure cylinders to a
cart, wall, or post, to prevent them from fall-
ing. All cylinders should be used and stored
in an upright position. Never drop or strike a
cylinder. Do not use cylinders that have been
dented. Cylinder caps should be used when
moving or storing cylinders. Empty cylinders
should be kept in specified areas and clearly
marked “empty.”
13. Never use oil or grease on any inlet connec-
tor, outlet connector, or cylinder valves.
14. Use only supplied Torch on this TIG welder.
Using components from other systems may
cause personal injury and damage components
within.
15. People with pacemakers should consult
their physician(s) before using this product.
Electromagnetic fields in close proximity to a
heart pacemaker could cause interference to,
or failure of the pacemaker.
16. USE PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to sue
one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. An undersized cord will
cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating. A 50 foot extension
cord must be at least 12 gauges in diameter,
and a 100 foot extension cord must be at least
10 gauges in diameter. If in doubt, use the next
heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
DUTY CYCLE
Duty Cycle is the equipment specifications
which defines the number of minutes within
a 10 minute period that a piece of equipment
can safely operate.
This MIG welder has a 35% duty cycle, which
means that it may be used only 3,5 minutes at
200 Amps out of any 10 minute period, and
must be rested the remaining 6,5 minutes.
CAUTION: Failure to observe the duty cycle
limitations of this Welder can easily damage
this equipment, and will void warranty.
