Indicating Light Power, Thermal Protection
There are two indicating lights : power indicator and thermal indicator. When the machine is turned on, the power indicator will be on to show it. When the thermal indictor is on, it shows the machine is overloaded working and the internal temperature is too high. The machine will turn off automatically but the fan will still be working. When the internal temperature is decreased, the machine will turn on automatically.
Current Adjustment
Current adjustment is on the front panel of machine. It is an infinite current output adjustment
Output “+“Connector
This is the connector for welding cable most often when STICK welding. When this machine is used for TIG welding, this connector is for the grounding cable.
Ground Cable and Clamp
The ground cable and clamp is attached to the work piece to complete the flow of current needed to weld.

Welding Cable and Electrode Holder
One end of cable is connected to output connectors of the machine. The electrode is clamped in the electrode holder for welding.
Output “-” Connector
This is the connector for grounding cable when STICK welding. When this machine is used for TIG welding, this connector is for the TIG torch
Power Cord
The power cord connects the welder to the 110-120v volt power supply. Plug the 15 amp plug into a 115 volt/20 amp receptable to supply power to the welder

General Safety Information
1.1Your Welding Environment
-Keep the environment you will be welding in free from flammable materials.
-Always keep a fire extinguisher accessible to your welding environment.
-Always have a qualified person install and operate this equipment. -Make sure the area is clean, dry and ventilated. Do not operate the welder in humid, wet or poorly ventilated areas.
-Always have your welder maintained by a qualified technician in accordance with local, state and national codes.
-Always be aware of your work environment. Be sure to keep other people, especially children, away from you while welding.
-Keep harmful arc rays shielded from the view of others.
-Mount the welder on a secure bench or cart that will keep the welder secure and prevent it from tipping over or falling.
1.2Your Welder’s Condition
-Check all cables, power cord and welding cable to be sure the insulation is not damaged. Always replace or repair damaged components before using the welder. -Check all components to ensure they are clean and in good operating condition before use.
1.3 Use of Your Welder
Do not operate the welder if the output cable, electrode, or any part of the system is wet. Do not immerse them in water. These components and the welder must be completely dry before attempting to use it.
-Follow the instructions in this manual. -Keep welder in the off position when not in use.
-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 electrode 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.
-Wear a full coverage helmet with shade (see ANSI Z87.1 safety standard) and safety glasses while welding.
-Wear proper gloves and protective clothing to prevent your skin from being exposed to hot metals, UV and IR rays.
-Do not overuse or overheat your welder. Allow proper cooling time between duty cycles.
-Always use this welder in the rated duty cycle to prevent excessive heat and failure.
1.4 Specific Areas of Danger, Caution or Warning
Electrical Shock
Electric arc welders can produce a shock that can cause injury or
death. Touching electrically live parts can cause fatal shocks and severe burns. While welding, all metal components connected to the unit are electrically hot. Poor ground
