WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur.
-Connect ground lead as close to the area being welded as possible to ensure a good ground. -Do not allow any body part to come in contact with the welding wire if you are in contact with the material being welded, ground or electrode from another welder. -Do not weld if you are in an awkward position. Always have a secure stance while welding to prevent accidents. Wear a safety harness if working above ground. -Do not drape cables over or around your body.
The welding arc produces ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) rays that can cause injury to your eyes and skin. Do not look at the welding arc without proper eye protection. -Always use a helmet that covers your full face from the neck to top of head and to the back of each ear. -Use a lens that meets ANSI standards and safety glasses. For welders under 160 Amps output, use a shade 10 lens; for above 160 Amps, use a shade 12. Refer to the ANSI standard Z87.1 for more information.
Sparks/Flying Debris Welding creates hot sparks that can cause injury. Chipping slag off welds creates flying debris. -Wear protective apparel at all times: ANSI-approved safety glasses or shield, welder’s hat and ear plugs to keep sparks out of ears and hair. Electromagnetic Field -Electromagnetic fields can interfere with various electrical and electronic devices such as pacemakers.

2. INSTALLING WIRE 2.1 MIG wire can be either mild steel, stainless steel or aluminum solid wire. Flux core wire may also be used for mild steel. For use with 4” spools of wire. NOTE: • Metal thinner than 22 gauge should not be welded with this spool gun. Attempting to do so will cause burn through in the metal you are intending to weld. • Remove any wire that is rusty, if the whole spool is rusty discard it. 2.
NOTE: If TOO MUCH tension is applied to the wire spool, the wire will slip on the drive roller or will not be able to feed at all. If TOO LITTLE tension is applied, the spool of wire will want to unspool itself when the gun trigger is released. Readjust the spool hub tension as necessary to correct for either problem. 2.8.
