Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or plasma cutting gasses or fumes are: • Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease • Heart Disease• Damage to the reproductive organs • Ulcers• Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach • Kidney damage• Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis or pneumoniaSafety precautions, such as using natural or forced air ventilation and wearing an ANSI approved respirator, are essential to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses. RE Arc Welder Assembly Installing the Handle Locate the HANDLE (27) and SCREW (28). Slide the HANDLE (27) onto the top of the CASE (26), indexing the tabs on the underside of the HANDLE onto the slots on top of the CASE, as indicated by lines (A) in Figure 1. Insert the SCREW (28) through the HANDLE (27), as shown in Figure 1, and tighten securely with a screwdriver. Installing the Ground Clamp WARNING! Be sure to connect the Ground Clamp to the GROUND WIRE (4) ONLY. Check the Parts Diagram to be sure you have selected the correct wire. Figure 2. Ground Clamp InstallationLocate the Ground Clamp which is included in your welder kit, see Figure 2, step 1. Slide the Handle Grip off the Ground Clamp, exposing the Wire Attachment area . Slide the Handle Grip over the end of the Ground Wire (4), see Figure 2, Step 2. Attach the Ground Wire (4) to the Ground Clamp, using a Bolt, Nut and Washer, as shown in Figure 2, Step 3. With the GROUND WIRE secure, slide the Handle Grip over the Ground Clamp, covering the attachment of the Ground Wire to the Ground Clamp. Your assembled Ground Clamp will look like Figure 2, Step 5. WARNING! Welder produces powerful electric currents. Operator must remain insulated from this current. Never use if any insulating Handle Grip is not in good repair. Figure 1. Handle InstallationFigure 1. Handle Installation RE Installing the Electrode Handle Figure 3. Installing the Electrode HandleLocate the ELECTRODE CABLE (5), as shown in the parts diagram, and the Electrode Handle as shown in figure 3, Step 1 above. Slide the Handle Grip off the Electrode Handle, as shown in Step 2 above. Insert the ELECTRODE CABLE (5) through the Handle Grip, and attach to the Electrode Handle as shown in Step 3 above. Note: You must place bare end of ELECTRODE CABLE wire into opening in end of Electrode Handle, then by tightening the Screw, tighten the Clamping Plate onto the bare end of the ELECTRODE CABLE, clamping it securely into place. With the ELECTRODE CABLE secured into the Electrode Handle, slide the Handle Grip over the wire connection, as shown in Step 4 above. Tighten the Handle Grip securely in place by tightening the screw in the base of the Handle Grip, as shown. WARNING! Never use your welder if the Insulating Handle Grips are not in good condition and securely in place. Dangerous potentially fatal shocks can result from improper handle insulation. RE Installing the Power Plug Note: This Arc Welder is equipped to operate with either 115 or 230 Volt power supply. Standard “household” current in the U.S. is 110-120 Volts. If you will be using a “household” outlet, follow directions for 115 Volt wiring. Electric service for appliances such as stoves in the U.S. are 220-240 Volts. If you will be using an “appliance” outlet, follow directions for 230 Volt wiring. If you have ANY DOUBT, consult a qualified electrician. Severe damage can result from improperly wiring this Arc Welder. Determine which voltage you will be using, and secure a UL approved plug for the selected voltage which will fit your wall outlet. Identify the correct wires you will be using for your voltage from the chart below. 115 Volt installation 230 Volt Installation Ground Green Green Neutral White Hot Black L1 Black L1, Red L2 Tied Off Wire Red White Prepare the wires by stripping approximately 1/2” of the insulation from the end of each wire. Depending on the plug design, insert the prepared cable ends into the plug from the back. Attach the Green wire to the Ground pole of the plug. Wire the appropriate plug as shown in #2 above. To tie off the wire shown in #2 above: Using a Wire Nut, cap the bare end of the unused wire, carefully insulating it from contact with any metal or conducting surface. WARNING! Before operating this welder, make sure that the plug is properly wired for the voltage to be used, AND that the selector switch (1) is set for the proper voltage. The Selector Switch must be set before the Arc Welder is plugged in and turned on. Severe equipment failure and property damage can result from improper wiring or switch selection. Warning! If Arc Welder is operated at 115 V~, be sure not to regulate the current over 70 A, or the 30 A breaker in your house line will trip.
