If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool. 18. Pacemaker safety warning. People with pacemakers should consult with their physician(s) before using this product; operation of equipment in close proximity to a heart pacemaker could cause interference or failure of the pacemaker. 19. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could

Allow the Tong Tips (part #48) and the workpiece to cool before handling. (See Figures A, B, E, and Assy. Diagram.) 8. MAKE SURE THE WORKPIECE IS SECURED AT ALL TIMES DURING OPERATION. Use a vise, clamps, etcetera (not provided). 9. OVERUSE CAN CAUSE OVERHEATING. After continuous use, allow the Spot Welder adequate time to cool before the next use. 10. BEFORE TRYING NEW OR COMPLICATED TECHNIQUES, STUDY THE PROCEDURE, AND PRACTICE WITH SCRAP METAL. 11. ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE SPOT WELDER FROM ITS E

Caution: Prior to attaching the Tong Tips (parts #48), make sure the Spot Welder is disconnected from its electrical power source. 2. To attach the Tong Tips (part #48) to the Upper and Lower Tongs (parts #46, #47), screw the Tips onto the Tongs as shown in Figure E. UPPER TONG (#46) LOWER TONG (#47) TONG TIP (#48) FIGUR

Always clean and dry the areas first. Fumes and Gases Hazards 1. Welding and cutting fumes and gases may be hazardous if inhaled for long periods of time. 2. Install a natural or forced-air ventilation system in the work area. If the ventilation system is inadequate, use an air respirator. 3. Use a forced-air ventilation system when welding or cutting lead, beryllium, cadmium, zinc, zinc-coated or painted materials. Always wear a protective breathing mask. 4. When welding or cutting in small are

For a wider weld, draw the wire back and forth across the joint in a curve, this is called a weave bead. Note: If too much current is drawn from the Flux Wire Welder, the Thermal Overload protector will activate, the amber indicator will light, and the Arc Welder will turn off until it cools down. If this happens, turn the Power Switch to the OFF position and wait about 3 ~ 5 minutes. 9. After a few seconds, stop, switch off the welder, and check the progress. Compare your weld’s appearance with

Unplug the Welder. Slightly tighten the Tension Adjusting Knob (10b) on the Wire Feed Assembly, and rewind the Welding Wire slightly before retrying. (See Figure E.) To check the tension on the Wire Feed Assembly, feed the Welding Wire against a piece of scrap wood from 2 to 3 inches away. If the Wire stops instead of bending, turn the Welder OFF. Unplug the unit from its electrical outlet. Then, slightly tighten the Tension Adjusting Knob (10b) on the Wire Feed Assembly. (See Figure E.) FIGURE

Push in until the wire comes out the Welding Torch head. If it cannot be fed manually all the way out, it can be fed automatically when the welding unit is powered up. 6. Close the Feed Mechanism (10) over the wire, and adjust the feed tension (D) if necessary. 7. Check that +/– cables to connection Knobs (29) are correct. See photo (top-left). When using non-flux wire and protective gas, connect wire cables as shown in photo. For 0.9 flux cored wire, no gas is required. Reverse cable connection

Mount the metal to be welded to the 2. metal work table. It should be mounted so that the welding debris falls to the cement floor. Place the Welder no closer than six 3. feet from the workpiece to be welded and attach the Tig Torch, if desired. Securely attach the Ground Clamp 4. (9) to a part of the workpiece or metal table. (See Figure A.) Place the bare end of an Electrode 5. (not included) in the Electrode Holder (8). NOTE: Always keep the jaws of the Electrode Holder clean to ensure proper

Also, some diseases that may be linked to exposure to welding or plasma cutting exhaust fumes are: • Early onset of Parkinson’s Disease • Heart disease • Ulcers • Damage to the reproductive organs • Inflammation of the small intestine or stomach • Kidney damage • Respiratory diseases such as emphysema, bronchitis, or pneumonia Use natural or forced air ventilation and wear a respirator approved by NIOSH to protect against the fumes produced to reduce the risk of developing the above illnesses.

The air supply must be dry. It is recommended to install a moisture filter (not included) on the compressor. Do not use an air oiler. 4. Connect the Torch Cable (47) plug into the twist-lock connector on the unit front.Twist to lock. See photo on page 9, bottom. 5. Plug in the Grounding Cable (45) into the Ground Cable Quick Coupler. Twist to lock. 6. Securely place the clamping end of the Grounding Cable Clamp (45) to a part of the workpiece or metal table that is clean of paint, oil, or dirt.
