manual abstract
(See Figure B.) While grasping the handle of the 9. Electrode Holder (33), with the electrode clear of grounded objects, turn the Power Switch Knob (25) to its “ON” position. (See Figure B.) Hold the Welding Shield in front 10. of your eyes. WARNING! Never look at the ignited arc without ANSI- approved arc shaded eye protection as in a full face shield. Permanent eye damage or blindness can occur. Skin burns can occur. Wear a NIOSH-approved respirator to avoid breathing arc fumes. Stroke the area to be welded with the 11. electrode to ignite the arc. Never tap the electrode into the welding surface to ignite the arc. This damages its external coating on the electrode which prevents oxygen in the air from coming into contact with the molten metal, causing it to oxidize. Once the arc is ignited, tilt the 12. electrode forward at an angle of approximately 30° and hold it at a distance from the welding object equal to the diameter of the electrode. NOTE: 13. If too much current is drawn from the Arc Welder, the Thermal Overload Protector will activate. The Yellow Lamp (24) on the Control Panel will illuminate, and the Welder will automatically shut off until it cools down. If this happens, turn the Power Switch Knob (25) to its “OFF” position and wait about 10 minutes. Then restart the Welder. (See Figure B.) When the weld is complete, lift the 14. electrode clearly away from any grounded object. Set the Welding Shield down, and turn the power Switch Knob (25) to its “OFF” position. (See Figure B.) Unplug the Power Cord (32) from the 15. electrical outlet.(See Assy. Diagram.) Remove the Grounding Cable with 16. Clamp (34) from the object it is clamped onto. Then remove the electrode from the Electrode Holder (33). (See Assy. Diagram.) Clean and store the Arc Welder 17. indoors out of reach of children and other unauthorized people. IMPORTANT: 18. Please read the included “Weld Diagnosis Pamphlet” for tips and suggestions concerning welding and proper usage. REV 09d Maintenance And Servicing Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician. To prevent serious injury from accidental operation: Turn the Power Switch of the tool to its “OFF” position and unplug the tool from its electrical outlet before performing any inspection, maintenance, cleaning, or storage procedures. BEFORE EACH USE,1. inspect the general condition of the Arc Welder. Check for cracked or missing insulators, damaged electrical wiring, and any other condition that may affect its safe operation. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, have the problem corrected before further use. Do not use damaged equipment. After Use,2. clean external surfaces of the Arc Welder with a clean cloth. Use compressed air to blow all dust and debris from the ventilation openings. AFTER USE, 3. store the Arc Welder in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children and other unauthorized people. Note: When not in use, always keep the grounding cable and its Clamp (34) disconnected from any metal object. TROUBLESHOOTING Problem Possible Causes Possible Solutions Welder does not “hum” when turned on. No power at electrical outlet.1. Broken or damaged Power Cord.2. Check circuit fuse or circuit breaker.1. Have Power Cord repaired or replaced by 2. a qualified electrician. Welder “hums” but does not weld. Inadequate current at electrode and/or poor 1. connections at Welder. Check Ground Clamp, Cable, and 1. connection to workpiece. Check Welding Cable and Electrode 2. Holder. Check all Welder external connections.3. Arc difficult to strike. Electrode diameter too large.1. Workpiece not properly grounded.2. Heavy loads, making power line voltage low.3. Use smaller diameter electrode.1. Verify proper grounding (no paint, varnish, 2. or corrosion). Run Arc Welder on dedicated 230 volt 3. circuit. Welder gives trickle shots. Accidental contact with workpiece.1. Current leakage caused by moist clothing or 2. work area. Avoid contact with workpiece.1. Make sure clothing and work area are dry.2. Welder overheats, blows fuses, trips circuit breaker. Use of extension cord.1. Electrode diameter too large.2. Overloaded circuit.3. Relocate Arc Welder to avoid use of 1. extension cord. If relocation of Welder is not possible, use thicker (lower gauge number) extension cord. Use smaller diameter electrode.2. Run Arc Welder on dedicated 230 volt 3. circuit. Bead is intermittently too thin or too thick. Inconsistent travel speed.1. Output Amp setting too low.2. Decrease and maintain travel speed.1. Increase output Amp setting or change to 2. smaller diameter electrode. Electrode sticks to workpiece. Arc length too short.1. Output Amp setting too low.2. Lift electrode to correct arc length as soon 1. as arc is struck. Increase output Amp setting or change to 2. smaller diameter electrode. Electrodes sputter and stick. Damp electrodes.1. Use dry electrodes and store in a dry 1. location. Weld bead does not penetrate base metal. T...
