Read instructions.
1、Read owner's Manual before using or
servicing unit。
2、Use only manufacturer’s supplied
replacement。
Exploding parts can injure.Always
wear a face shield and long sleeves。
Static can damage PC boards
1、Put on grounded wrist strap before
handing boards or parts。
2、Use proper static-proof bags and
boxes to store，move or ship PC boards。
Fire or explosion hazard.
Do not locate unit on,over,or near combustibe
surfaces.Do not install unit near flammables.
1、Wear approved face shield or safety
goggles with side shields。
2、Wear proper body protection to protect skin。
Do not weld in the height！
Flying metal can injure eyes。
1)Wear safety glasses with side shields or
face shield。
1、Magnetic fields can affect pacemakers.
Pacemaker wearers keep away.
2、Wearers should consult their doctor
before going near plasma arc cutting
operations。
Overuse can cause overheating
Allow cooling period ,follow rated duty
cycle before starting to weld again.
Cylinders can explode if damaged.Gas
cylinders contain gas under high pressure.
If damaged,a cylinder can explode .Be sure
to treat them carefully.
Electric shock can kill:
1、Do not touch live electrical parts。
2、Wear dry,hole-free insulating gloves
and body protection.
3、Do not wrap electrical cable around your body.
4、Ground the workpiece with a good elect-
rical ground。
Keep away from the torch tip.
Remove all flammables of the welding area.
Falling unit can cause injury.
Eye protection for welding:
Current level in amperage Minimum shade

The heat from the workpiece can cause serious
burns。
Never cut on pressurized cylinder.
Keep away from moving parts such as fans.
Fumes and gases can be hazardous.
welding produces fumes and gases. Breathing
these fumes and gases can be hazardous to
your health.
If inside,ventilate the area.
Do not weld in a confined space only if it
is well ventilated.
Moving parts can cause injury.
Maintenance regularly！
Factory safety！

efficiency that is an ideal substitute for manual arc welding.
Most advanced circuit design and technology are adopted.Excellent performances,supreme reliability,
quality welding requirements can be satisfied.Spot weld,groove weld,and fillet weld are available.Most
commonly used shielding gases are applicable such as Co2,AR,CO2+AR,CO2+O,etc.
Suitable for welding of variou metallic materials such as mild steel,low carbon steel,low alloy steel,
stainless steel, steel,iron,copper, aluminum,nicket,etc.
Extensively used in the welding and field operation of oil pipeline,chemical,car fabrication,shipyard,
etc.

7、Threading Welding Wire
1 、Wire spool spindle
2 、Welding Wire
3 、Pressure adjustment knob
1.Open wire spool spindle;install wire spool;release pressure adjustment knob;pull and hold wire.
Push wire thru guides into drive roll.Close wire spool spindle tightly to prevent slipping (Feed
wire to check wire spool installation).
2.Set a desired drive roll pressure, close and tighten pressure adjustment knob.
3.Press gun trigger and let go of wire.
4. Remove gun nozzle and contact tip.
5. Press gun trigger until wire comes out of gun. Reinstall contact tip and nozzle.
6. Feed wire to check drive roll pressure ,tighten knob enough to prevent slipping.
7. Cut off wire if welding wire extends too far beyond nozzle.
