SPECIFICATIONS
This MIG Welder is suitable for light duty industrial applications and is designed for low-carbon and
low-alloy steels. It incorporates a wire feed system.
Noise emission:
≤ 75 dB
Overload light:
Welding for an extended period at high amperage may cause the overload lamp to illuminate and the
welder to shut down. This is normal overload protection to prevent damage to the unit. If this should
occur, turn the power switch to "OFF" and allow the unit to cool down for approx. 15 minutes.
