Maintenance
1. Maintain welders. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts
and any other condition that may affect the
welder’s operation. If damaged, have the
welder repaired before use. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained welders.
2. Have your welder serviced by a qualified
repair person using only identical
replacement parts. This will ensure that
the safety of the welder is maintained.
3. Maintain labels and nameplates on the Welder.
These carry important information.
If unreadable or missing, contact
Harbor Freight Tools for a replacement.
4. Unplug before maintenance. Unplug the Welder
from its electrical outlet before any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Grounding
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH
FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION:
Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded.
Have a plug installed by a certified electrician.
Do not use the welder if the power cord or plug is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility
before use. If the plug will not fit the outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician,
do not use adapter plugs.
1. The green wire inside the cord is connected to
the grounding system in the welder. The green
wire in the cord must be the only wire connected
to the welder’s grounding system and must never
be attached to an electrically “live” terminal.
Never leave the grounding wire disconnected
or modify the Power Cord Plug in any way.
2. Make sure the tool is connected to an outlet having
the same configuration as the plug. If the tool must
be reconnected for use on a different type of electric
circuit, the reconnection should be made by qualified
service personnel; and after reconnection, the tool
should comply with all local codes and ordinances.
3. A 250 V~ plug will need to be installed
by a certified electrician before use.
4. The plug shown (NEMA 6-50p) is for use on a
50 A circuit. A different 250 V~ plug and outlet
combination may be used, provided it is rated
to handle the electrical requirements of the tool
and is installed by a certified electrician.
Note: Although 125 V~ plugs may look similar, the
required plug is much larger, see illustration.
250 V~ 3-Prong Plug (6-50p) and Outlet (6-50r)
