ASSEMBLY
Electrical Shock Can Kill!
•
High voltage danger from power source! Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation
of receptacle. This welder must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock.
•
Do not remove grounding prong or alter the plug in any way. Use only the supplied adapter
between the welder's power cord and the power source receptacle. Make sure the POWER
switch is OFF then connect your welder's power cord to a properly grounded 230 VAC (220V
- 240V), 60 HZ, single phase, 50-amp power source. If operating on 120V, attach the 120V
Adapter cord to the unit power cord and then connect the assembly to a properly grounded
120 VAC (110V-130V), 60 Hz, single phase, 20-amp power source.
1.
POWER REQUIREMENT 230V - AC single phase 230V (220-240V) 50/60 HZ fused with a 50-amp
time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL power
source voltage is less than 215 volts AC or greater than 240 volts AC.
2.
POWER REQUIREMENT 120V - AC single phase 120V (110-130V) 50/60 HZ fused with a 20-amp
time delayed fuse or circuit breaker is required. DO NOT OPERATE THIS UNIT if the ACTUAL power
source voltage is less than 110 volts AC or greater than 130 volts AC.
2.1 When connecting this unit to 120V power, connect the 120V adapter cord to the
power cord pigtail that is attached to the machine.
3.
EXTENSION CORD - We do not recommend an extension cord because of the voltage drop they produce.
This drop in voltage can affect the performance of the welder. If you need to use an extension cord, we
recommend you check with a qualified electrician and your local electrical codes for your specific area. Do
not use an extension cord over 25 ft. in length.
4.
STICK WELDING CONNECTION – DC Stick welding is generally performed DC Electrode Positive. That
means that the electrode holder and cable would be attached to the Positive (+) weld output connection
and the ground cable and clamp would be attached to the Negative (-) weld output connection.
