Operation Instruction

1
Preparing for Welding
□
Designate a work area that is clean and well lit. Keep
children and pets out of the work area.
□
Read the user manual and safety guidelines before
operating the welder.
□
Ensure you understand the basic specification of your
welder.
□
Wear PPEs to protect your eyes and skin from hot welding
sparks and intensive arc rays. Ensure same protections are
provided to any bystanders nearby.
□
Ensure all the combustible, flammable, hazardous
substances are removed from the work area. Make sure a
fire extinguisher within reach is available.
□
Inspect your welder before each use and do not operate a
welder with damaged cables and components. Replace all
the damaged parts before use. Have a qualified technician
help you if needed.
□
Open the gas valve on the gas cylinder (TIG mode only).

Setting Up for Stick Welding
□
Check the electrode packaging to determine the
recommended polarity.
□
For direct current electrode positive (DCEP) or direct
current reverse polarity (DCRP) welding process, plug
ground clamp into negative (-) DINSE socket (E) and plug
electrode holder into positive (+) DINSE socket (F). Most
electrodes use DCEP.
□
Check whether the ground clamp has a good connection to
the workpiece and ensure workpieces are clean and dry
(not rusty, painted or oily).
□
Clamp the welding electrode with electrode holder.
□
Switch the ON/OFF Switch (G) to ON at the back of the
machine.
□
Push the welding mode switch button (D) until STICK mode
LED turns on.
□
Set the welding current by rotating the amperage
adjustment knob (C).
WARNING: Welding processes generate high-
temperature arc, welding sparks, hot slag and hot
spatters. Welding arc generates extremely intense
ultraviolet and infrared light. Failure to wear protective
equipment during welding can severely damage your
eyes and burn your skin.
WARNING: Failure to protect combustible materials
against welding sparks, hot slag and hot spatters can
cause fire and even explosion. Fire and explosion can
cause death, injury and property damage.
